Legit Back Court, Legit Front Court, and a decent SF. Clippers look very scary.

Clippers are 1-0

 

[xtianp]

Not the prettiest win but I'll take it. Seems they had a tough time getting the ball to Blake and it seemed like Chauncey was shooting every time he got his hands on the ball.
DeAndre though...

 that's the kind of defensive player he needs to be. Even though he was terrible from the line. 

 

[daprescription]

Game was pretty much what I expected. I thought the Warriors would keep it close, then the Clippers would pull away at the end. Clippers are a nice team, and I'm interested to see what they are going to do with all these PG's and if they will try to move one to fill in another need. E

@ thread title.  Don't post much in NBA threads.

Good win by the Clips...

erupt- You are interning in sales?

I interned for the Clips the year after they made that playoff run (2006-2007 season) with Sam Cassell and Elton Brand,

, same year Shaun Livingston's knee exploded (

).  Fun times, can't imagine the atmosphere right now, they were hyped the year I interned coming off that playoff year.  It deflated like a balloon after the All Star break though.  

.  Solid organization, IMO.

Before you vultures come in, I don't consider myself a Clipper fan, always root for them against other teams but not a fan.  Bulls fan

, just watch the Clips (TV & Live) and worked/interned for them.

However, it's a fan base that should be gladly taking applications and filling that wagon.

I'm so bummed out that the Clippers vs. Bulls game falls on Friday, heading to Vegas for NYE.  Thinking of going to the game and driving to LV after,

Nice road win last night to start the season. It's good to have not 1 but 2 closers on the team in CP3 and Billups.

Yep.  Its encouraging to think that I don't think that the team really played all that well and still ended up winning on the road by 19 (in a place they've had a lot of trouble recently).  We definitely need to tighten up the rebounding and shot selection, but I think that will come as the team gets more time together and the chemistry improves and when Evans starts getting into the rotation.  All that said, its been a pretty long time since we opened a season with a W.  Feels good.

BTW I just scored some FREE tix for the home opener next Friday in the PR section with a parking pass.

YUP still lots of work to do but I like where this team is headed

 

[laridah23]

Just watched the replay on PrimeTicket...

Started the game off a bit sloppy (Which was expected), but finished strong. Like everyone else has said, it was nice to see CP3 take over and put the game away.

This team can be very scary if everyone can accept their roles. From what I saw, Mo seems like the only one who might have a problem with his new role. I noticed he seemed to be a bit reluctant to be subbed out a couple times. Hopefully it doesn't become a problem in the future. 

With that said, I Can't wait until Wednesday

^^^ Kind of annoying that the team has two full days off before the next game. With this shortened season, I have to think that's the last time that'll happen for a while. And it probably means we have a back-to-back-to-back coming up soon.
