I believe that lost there first preseason game I am not going give them the championship quite yet. They great shooting night and the Clippers should stay in the locker room.

You would think that this was a completely unimportant game. It was a preseason game, and the first one at that. However, both Chris Paul and Blake Griffin are UFAs at season's end. After this game, there is no freaking way never-even-been-to-the-conference-finals Chris Paul squanders the rest of his career in LA.

tldr; CP3 was probably going to leave Clipperland anyway, but this seals it, imho.

I'd trade Shabazz for him.

Victor Claver is having a great game against OKC....shooting 60 % from the field and 50% from deep...close game..loved watching Wes battle Nico the other night too...Wes looks like his old self in his first game..fun matchup...Dallas is better this season

Navarro, Sabonis, Joey Dorsey, Ronnie Price playing.

 

[riverman]

Kanter and Adams are a really good frontcourt duo

Ronnie Price is a solid pt guard..he had a great season when healthy last year

 

[riverman]

The Thunder have a ton of turnovers...Westbrook already has 6

Damn I wish we played Detroit in November.

Kanter and Adams are a really good frontcourt duo

Kanter would be a superstar in Europe. With a minute left he made a great move to score, then in the last seconds he made his free throws. I watched on First Row (Brent Barry's doing post-game analysis right now). OKC wins by 3 but it was closer. Father Sabonis was in the stands to watch Sonny. Claver is the opposite of Meyers Leonard--knows how to play but can't shoot.

 

[riverman]

Kanter will probably have a career season without the "give the ball to Kevin" play they relied on for so long

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Knicks might make the playoffs even though they still suck. Oh to play in the Eastern Conference....

The WNBA switched this year to having the top teams regardless of conference be the ones that make the playoffs and apparently this was popular, so maybe things will change in the NBA too.

Victor Claver balling against the thunder. 25 pts 4 reb 2 stl

I came into this thread thinking this would be a post about how Claver went 9/12 (4/6 from three) and scored 25 points against the Thunder.

Dissapointed.

I would still take back ZBO. He would be an awesome veteran scorer.

and let's face it - a certainly portion of the Portland population is underrepresented at Blazer games. ZBo, could fix that

 

[riverman]

No more old players ...please! Only old forum members

WTF??

Did they go to Laurel and Hardy's dentist?

You were in that movie!

You did the musical score?

Oh you mean play 1, play 2, play 3, play 4....well you get it

I put the roll in the player piano

 

[Chris Craig]

With the way they've performed tonight, they certainly don't deserve to get laid.

In all seriousness, this performance by the Warriors is troubling. They were supposed to have an adjustment period and were supposed to miss the bench guys they lost. Instead, they already appear to be firing on all cylinders.

Not really, they are playing the Clippers who everyone says is so good, but is really a lame duck

ZBO will retire with the grizz and be the first number retired in franchise history.

Early list of fun teams to watch from what I've seen so far...

Blazers, Celtics, Nuggets, Warriors

Love teams that play with pace and share the ball
