Will have to wait and see when the chips are on the table.
Much as I dislike James I have to give credit to his team play last night. Only saw first half.

I'm watching my first Clippers game this season vs Dallas in Vancouver, Canada.

It is a preseason game but to this point the Mavs are winning 32-13 at the end of the first quarter.

Not very pretty so far....unless you are rooting for Dallas.

 

[Steve Williams]

Preseason is meaningless.They won't take a chance with their big boys for fear of injury

 

[WLVCA]

You are kind, Steve.

 

[Steve Williams]

Truthful

What amazes me that the Lakers were playing James and Davis at full throttle only to have AD sustain a sprain to his thumb taking him out for a while

NBA TV is showing the TSN Canada broadcast.

The announcers are quite good. Didn't expect them to know the NBA so well.

What do you expect? They are the reigning NBA champions
In contrast, did you expect the Stanley Cup champions coming from the hottest parts of the USA for many years now when asked 15 years ago?

And I'm actually in Vancouver now, not knowing there is an NBA game happening.

Well, good thing it's not a Celtics game, but I would had known if they were coming to play here.

Points well taken - better take my blinders off.

We were in Vancouver in July - great city in a beautiful setting.

But I'm pretty confident that the Raptors won't win a championship for another 50 years. All the stars in all the universes had to align for them this time. It won't happen again

 

[Steve Williams]

I know it's preseason but the Pelicans are 5-0 whereas the Lakers are 3-3 having been humbled by the GSW

It's tough to think the West is so good that the Warriors are going to have to fight for a playoff spot

Raptors cornerstone Pascal Siakam gets $130M extension

I liked this kid in the playoffs last year. Hard worker and gutsy player. Raptors are left with some core players but as Christoph says, it'll be 50 years before they win another championship

Zion Williamson Will Miss Start Of NBA Season With Right Knee Soreness

New Orleans Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson has avoided a severe injury to his right knee but is expected to miss a period of weeks to start the regular season, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Friday.

Williamson did not travel with the team to New York for Friday's preseason game against the Knicks and instead stayed back in New Orleans for further testing.

Zion has already had some injuries keeping him out of many preseason games. I hope he stays healthy this year as he is fun to watch

WLVCA should like the final prognostication

But here is the best news of all

Season starts in 2 days and what better way than to watch the Clippers-Lakers vie for LA dominance on day 1

Very interesting season coming up. If the Clippers win the title, Kawhi would the money man not in games but in leading his team to titles. A new type of 'journey man'.

 

[Steve Williams]

How true

Kyle Kuzma officially ruled out for Lakers season opener with foot injury

I hope he gets back quickly as I believe he will be a big contributor when he's healthy
