    The game back is against Chicago by the way. Hmmmm.... Oden vs Noah? That might make Oden feel right at home.

    I agree.

    Sergio and Rudy make the team play quicker, not just stand around.

    Webster was getting great benefit from this style of play until he got hurt. Webster may fit better with the second team than Batum when he comes back. I believe, because of Sergio and Rudy, that Webster, when he returns will play very much like them and will be invaluable to the team.

    We have something in this team that has a really good chance of being outstanding this year.

    Rudy is clearly in his stride, while many other players still have a bit of rust in their games. That is largely because of his play all spring and summer, in the Olympics. I would not be surprised to see some dropoff in his game come Jan/Feb as a result.

    Still, he is a lot younger than Kobe, who did the same thing.

    No. It exists. It's also really boring.

    James came into the NBA with an "NBA body", especially relative to other teenagers, but it's interesting to see how much his shape has changed in the last 5+ years. Looking at our young guys (Oden, Batum, Bayless) it'll be interesting to see how they change, physically. Bayless and Oden look like they have "NBA bodies", too... while Batum does not.

    I think there is a quote of only one female player in a LA NBA franchise - and they already have Pau...

    Just kidding of course (I just saw a photoshop of Pau in makeup somewhere, sorry, the image stays with me).
