Even if the Sonics were back starting this season, I don’t think I could get excited for this
I think the semi-finals and finals will be fun.

Ridiculous ego aside, what do you think this means for the Clippers chance to actually win a conference title? At a cursory glance, their roster is pretty old, but with some solid (if declining) stats at the individual level.

Is there an argument to be made that if they take the Sabremetrics approach, this could be their year?

And what about Lue? I know absolutely nothing about that guy.
Lue is a great coach. I just don't know if he can manage all of the personalities/egos of so many stars on the wrong side of their primes. That being said, I think they will be in that second tier of West contenders with the Lakers, Suns, and Warriors.
So who knows…If he can get everyone to share the stage, and maybe a couple injuries happen elsewhere, this could be a big season for them. Exciting stuff.
Kawhi and George will be hurt a bunch so this is all moot.

They should have gone retro or something instead.

I respect that they went for it so hard, but they missed the mark.

No Draymond or Murray, but Jokic and Curry are still must see TV.

How much did Draft Kings pay Jokic to throw that pass away and then brick two free throws in the final minute?

Herro hurt before I had a chance to put up a graphic comparing his stats to Dame's. By the time he comes back I'm sure balance will have been restored to the universe, but we'll always have those totally representative first two weeks of the season.
