Kawhi Leonard with a monster game, and Danny Green chipped in as well for a big win over the C's at home. I feel they got a great deal in that trade, as Leonard is very hard to stop when he gets going. Makes me wonder if he really had that injury in the second half of the season. Good as new. Meanwhile, Irving and Hayward still struggling to get into their normal games, it will take sometime for them to hit full throttle, specially Hayward, he is still far from his Utah Jazz self. Raptor is better than last season, imo.

I enjoyed the part where both teams had a pair of "smalls" on the floor at the same time. Ibaka looks really fit and trimmed down entering this season. He was a factor in this game too.

Ibaka was clutch all night, Jack. 21 points and that is big support for Kawhi and Lowry who are both expected to score big for the Raptors. VanVleet was like a waterbug, and the C's don't have an XS guard to follow him. :D

Maybe they can get their old water bug back for cheap but honestly I like Rozier more. :D

Shane Larkin. The problem now with the C's, and a luxurious one at that, is the 3 guys on the bench who were used last season, Ojeleye, Yabusele, and Theis, did not even play today, and I imagine will be playing garbage time mostly this season. Larkin would have been on that group too. I can see how Brad is adjusting to give playing time to Rozier and Smart off the bench. Rozier would be a better 6th man as Smart continues to shoot horribly in most situations. (I don't know why he even shoots) :D

Watching the Lakers vs Rockets game.

Feel bad for the refs trying to manage all of those egos - LeBron, Harden, CP3 and Rondo

I'ts a terrific game. Lakers may not go fat but they sure have been fun to watch

Still tough to see LeBron in purple and gold however I find he is setting the tempo and being a guiding light for the younger players who are all speedsters. Having said that he still has his moves, passes, shots but he is looking out of sync, or just not yeti in good condition as he is off his shots and looking a bit his age.

The one player who gets the crowd into it is Lance Stephenson. He and LeBron look like twins. And how about all the blocks by Javale

How do you spell Carmelo - Well, I know for sure there is no "D". The guy doesn't even pretend to play defense. That should help the Lakers.

Don't fall in love with Lance! He'll make 2 bad plays for every good one. Clippers learned that the hard way.

Lonzo just hit a three! OMG.

Got ugly during the Lakers-Rockets game with punches thrown.

Too bad. Was a great game. CP3, Rondo and Ingram ejected.

Still 4 minutes to go.

I don't understand what Ingram was so mad at when he pushed Harden after Harden drove and made the basket. And even more puzzling he came in with a flying punch to CP3. And he is one of the best young talents the Lakers are banking on.

Rondo almost certainly will have a multi game suspension and likely Ingram as both punches landed on CP3's face

I thought that when it came to clutch shots and needed points LeBron has missed a pile of those in the past 2 games

Clippers play the Rockets tonight at Staples.

Guess Chris Paul won't be invading the Clippers locker room via the secret tunnel tonight.

I hope Carmelo Anthony plays a lot tonight to give the Clips a chance to win the game. ;)

Clippers defeat the Rockets 115-112.

Saw bits of the game. I guess the idea to let the guy who Melo is guarding shoot at will.

Watched Lakers - Spurs last night. Great game the Spurs won in OT.

Thought the Lakers had it but Lebron missed a free throw and then the final shot.

The young Lakers are looking better - Kuzma had 37 points, Lonzo had 14 points and 6 assists.

I watched the game. As I said a few days ago win or lose they are exciting to watch, Down by 18 and came back to force OT only to lose what they should have won

IMO the game hung in LBJ two free throws which he missed as well as the last shot of the game. I have also said this before that he is off at the free throw line and even though he has made some great shots he has also missed some very easy ones which cost them the games

That's why James passed to George Hill, he'd rather Hill gets the blame that time. This time, he got the blame for both missing the foul shots, and the final shot. :)
