    Yea he’s right. The Lakers are plying at a historic pace and are dominating. It’s not even close how better they are than everybody

    And you’re under the impression that only the Blazers are going to have injuries this year? Let’s see if guys like Davis, Kawhi and George are still healthy the second half of the season. They don’t have a track record of playing full seasons lately.

    Still would take the Clippers comfortably. Kawhi and PG would make LeBron work. AD better be ready and be healthy.

    Also, Lakers and Clippers have different motives for the regular season. The Clippers are managing and hope to get healthy with Kawhi and PG coming off injuries. The Lakers and LeBron are out to prove the doubters wrong, trying to dominate every night. I still don't believe both AD and LeBron will remain healthy throughout the course of the season.

    With Charlotte exceeding their low expectations to start the season and needing a center, I wonder how difficult it'd be to trade Whiteside for Batum in their 1st. Whiteside would be a help for them, and it'd make sense financially to trade Batum's contract for an expiring. I just wonder if that's enough for them to trade their 1st, and what the protections would have to be. Maybe we'd have to give up a 2nd and Trent too? I dunno. Could be interesting. We need a SF too...

    I went to a canucks game up in BC a couple months ago and it was so much fun. Really reinvigorated my love for hockey. Went to a couple winterhawks games this year and just as fun( though i think its ridiculous to pay $12 for a beer at a WHL game. I digress).

    If ever you get a chance, see an NHL game live. You wont regret it.

    What makes me appreciate this post is that the Kings won. Fuck the Ducks.

    Luka just rolled his ankle and hobbled to the locker room. If he misses any time Dallas could plummet down the standings.

    Thats how Steve Nash won MVP’s, his teams would cruise along he’d miss a couple weeks they’d look hopeless and he’d come save them.

    Yeah, that Dallas team would look pretty bad without him.

    Theyve had other contributors but I agree, my guess they like most teams with a ball dominant star would really struggle without him.

    Although he would fit in the system I don't think it would be blowing anybody's skirt up.
