    So you watch Carolina's wife exit the shower on a regular basis?

    If you want to see a quasi-Lakers game, on TNT the Pelicans are playing the Knicks. All of our lottery picks are playing.

    And Lonzo is still bricking 3’s in case were wondering.

    ESPN told me he learned to shoot the minute he left the Lakers though, and that he was a amazing in a game where he made 3, leaving out that he was 3-8 overall on them and 3-10 overall. I’m rooting for Zo, but yeah, dude still can’t shoot, his biggest contributions are not on the stat sheet.

    I want to see everyone's predictions right now - is there a big board for this?

    So we got writers AND analysts majority saying CLIPPERS to win it all - sorry Doc, you got ZERO bulletin board material this year - the target is now on YOUR back - good luck with that pressure :))

    Weird how we can go from the worst dumpster fire of the last 6 years to people predicting a title.

    Stephen A. said we were going to win it all today on his show. First time I've agreed with him in years!

    I won't be able to keep up with all the games like I used to in past years, but from the highlights I saw I'm not concerned. It's just the preseason, and ONE game. I'm not concerned. Once the chemistry comes this team will be scary good. The AD Bron backcourt is gonna be deadly.

    also LeBron never goes full throttle in the beginning of the season he saves his magic for the home stretch and playoffs.

    we'll be fine guys, I expect us to be in the WCF.

    Danny Green looks good.

    AD in the post looks comfortable.

    We need our perimeter players to step up on offense and defense. They gave up so many offensive rebounds, it was awful.

    Quinn Cook were missing WIDE OPEN shots all game long, plus AD was 9-14 from FT lines. Don't anticipate that to happen often.

    Best positive takeaway for me...

    KL is the easiest fit into an established team. 80% of their team on the floor has chemistry and familiarity with one another. I don't see their ceiling much higher, even with PG.

    Whereas we have an entire new team. New staff, new players, new mission. Chemistry is and will be a work in progress for us. Hopefully with our soft first leg of the schedule, we can make strides in that department. We haven't scratched the surface and will be twice the team we were last night when it's April and May.
