Interesting that Lonzo has been nailed to the bench for this fourth quarter. New Orleans rolling with Hart/Jackson/Redick instead.
Don't sleep on Frank Jackson. He's the one-and-done from Duke who was highly touted coming out of HS, missed his rookie year to injury, got his feet wet last year, and has a chance to really break out this season.

Weirdly, the Clips were the worst offense in the NBA in preseason, and that appears to be continuing.

Cut to the Laker game...immediately see LeBron whining to the ref.

Is it just me or is the Lakers starting lineup kinda big?

Dammit, AD-I hated that Men in Black commercial.

I didn’t know he could actually do that.

Outrageously big. When you appease Davis to play a natural 5 next to him that eliminates using LeBron as a smallball 4 so you end up with a huge frontcourt by todays standard.

How long will Vogel keep both Davis and Lebron on the bench? Seems like something they could stagger so that at least one of them is out there at all times.

That is what Vogel was doing then Davis picked up his 2nd foul and sat the last 1:16 of the quarter.

Vogel does not strike me as the type of guy that LeBron will respect (I’m superficially basing this opinion on looks, demeanor, and speech pattern).

What is this anti Spurs stuff from Reggie? It’s weird and out of place and I don’t give a shit about the Spurs.

Impressive quarter from the Clippers. Kawhi is just the best player in the NBA, full stop. Adding Harkless in the offseason as well was a sneaky-great move. Big wing that can shoot a bit and has playoff experience.

I’d be so pissed if I was golfing and Steph Curry wouldn’t get off the green after he finished putting because he was busy buying stuff online.

Vogel's answer will be more minutes from Bron and AD in the 2nd half:banana:

Reggie is going to ride AD right into the glue factory

Jesus, this audio. They’re in frigging Los Angeles for the opener, and they can’t get decent production values?

Avery Bradley bricks a three-pointer off the dribble, for old times' sake.

Do you think that Kawhi even says one word to Danny Green? Like, does he even acknowledge that he played for years with him? Or does Green look at Leonard only to have a blank stare returned in his direction?

I bet its the latter - Kawhi wiped that part of his memory over the summer and all he remembers is Doc's plays, not to cut Beverley in the layup line and how to drive from the valley to Staples Center in less than 55 minutes.

Ooooh, the King gets a dunk by not even feigning an effort to get back on defense. They should have called offsides just to see his expression.
