I was interested to read that the Nuggs are predicted to finish in first with the Clippers.

I thought Denver last year was hugely competitive with every team and humbled the Lakers every time they played them. No real dynamic duo but rather a terrific all rounded team

To me the West is up for grabs

I still like the Sixers in the East as the Bucks seem to be the same team as last year and Giannis can't do it all himself

Smart move by Tyrone Lue even if it is as an assistant coach of the Clippers and reunited with Doc rather than as HC of the Lakers and coaching The King and wondering how much longer his job is going to last

This way he is first assistant head coach behind Doc. That will be a great tandem. Had he gone to the Lakers it would only be a matter of time before he had chest pains and anxiety again as he waits to join the unemployment line

2019-20 schedule release: The Clippers-Lakers rivalry
Dan Woike from the Los Angeles Times joins GameTime to discuss expectations for the two teams in Los Angeles.


a realistic evaluation of the Lakers and Clippers by LA Times sport writer.

I like his comments about Paul George's shoulder as well as missing games by Kawhi and LeBron

Whats interesting is the Clipps have only 2 years to win their trophy and the Lakers maybe only a year if AD bolts end of this season

Always like to read Dan Woike's stuff going back to his days with the Orange County Register. I noticed his byline in the LA Times a few weeks ago. Still have a digital subscription to the Times.

Tough time to be in the newspaper business though - maybe that's why Woike was happy to get the TV face time. :)

James Harden says 'narrative' affected his chance at 2019 Kia MVP
From NBA media reports


Sour grapes or fact?

You can't deny Harden is a great player but for me MVP is just thatI, OW what does the winner do all around for the team and for my money I felt Giannis deserved to win

https://www.nba.com/article/2019/08/21/james-harden-speaks-not-winning-mvp
Harden lost all his credit with me.
First his Neymar-esque moves to draw a foul at EVERY shooting attempt and then complaining that the ref's Need to protect him :rolleyes:
And now this?? o_O
What a cry baby :p

and having read the above article this one follows in its footsteps. Everyone has an opinion and they seem to change from day to day


For me it comes down to 3 things this season

1. The overall health of the dynamic duos during the season

2. How many games these stars will sit out during the season

3. The depleted back up help for these teams as each bench will be a factor

Contrary to expert predictions yesterday, this article looks at the 7 possible teams that could win the title. It is a very interesting read with in depth description of each of these teams

Big questions, greatest edge for seven NBA title contenders

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/27434744/big-questions-greatest-edge-seven-nba-title-contenders

These experts overwhelmingly pick the Clippers

Armchair quarterbacks are going to abound until this much awaited season finally starts

Seems like Kawhi's presence in delivering titles to San Antonio and Toronto is now the driving force in these predictions.

welcome to the NBA Zion and all the trials and tribulations of becoming the next great super star

Zion Williamson escalates $100 million legal battle with fraud allegations against marketing firm

https://sports.yahoo.com/zion-williamson-100-million-lawsuit-pelicans-013236079.html

And welcome to big time capitalism, Zion. I don't know really what to expect with him, as in winning titles for his team, or he will be the most powerful player of his 'size' to ever play in the NBA, I'm talking pound of pound here, will he be the best?

I really hopes he is as he seems to be a genuine all round good kid with exceptional abilities as an athlete

I see him as the future of the game and really wish him a healthy and successful career. He seems to be handling all this other stuff very well

I agree with all you said there, Steve.

I am hoping that the Pels through their good work and all of the adversity with AD will become the NBA team of the future which was all brought together by smart trade choices as they depleted the Lakers for years to come
