Since the regular season starts tomorrow, I decided to start it. Should be an exciting season this year.

Raptors picking up from where they left off with the W in their first game of the season.

Watching the Lakers-Clippers game on TNT with two thoughts:
Always enjoy seeing the broadcast guys back together again and I really like the 24 second shot clock timer superimposed on the floor at the top of the key. Brilliant!!!

[SawuScimitar74]

Danny Green had a brilliant Lakers debut tonight. He was 7 of 9 from downtown and had 28 points. However, Kawhi Leonard scored 30 points and the Clippers beat the Lakers in a battle of the LA teams.

We'll see what happens. I would prefer the Clippers winning the title over the Lakers if I had to root for an LA team.

You're picking the Pelicans over the Spurs to make the playoffs? Never count out Coach Popovich!

It's 1 game I know but the Spurs were lucky to beat the Knicks at home while the Pels lead for most of the game at Toronto. I think when it's all said and done when Zion gets back assuming he can get back to basketball game shape they've got a nice little team there.

Spurs are 3 - 0 while the Pelicans are 0-4.

What I want to know is why Pelicans @ Nuggets is tomorrow's TNT Halloween night west coast game and not the Spurs @ Clippers?
