Qs Quote:
[COLOR="Gray"]Clippers starting the year off later than the rest of the league, but should be ready to go. Damian Lillard got his MVP hopeful season off to a bang with 39 against the Jazz to get Portland to 1-0, but the Clippers will be ready to get back for the first round from 2015/16. [/COLOR]

So close, yet so far away

Been waiting for this game.
I wonder if Lillard overtakes CP3 as a top 3 PG this year

Doubt it, though Lillard will probably cement himself as #4 for the year.

Now 2017-18, I'd say it's a great chance

hey qrich, i haven't really had a chance to follow the clippers during the off season. what do you think about blake griffin coming into the season, you think he's ready to dominate?

He's worked real hard and seems to be 1,000% focused on basketball and nothing else. I expect him to really dominate and cement himself as a top 7 overall player based off the work he put in and his words.

But then again, you never know.

Should be a good game.

I like Lillard, but the separation defensively is too big for him to overtake Paul unless CP3 had a large and noticeable fall offensively. Being that he's pretty much the epitome of consistency at the PG position, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Pusha T play for Portland.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Mo Buckets reppin St Pete and the 727 out in Cali

Still don't know why Golden State let him go for West.

[Bosnian Sajo]

lmao, Mo only got a 2yr/3m deal??


I Love my guy Teletovic, but if he could get $30m from Milwaukee, why couldn't Mo get half that? Especially with the ridiculous contracts that have been given out.

[EricGordon23]

They are letting this game get away they need to get Lillard back in asap.

Man has Evan Turner just been awful so far. He can't make anything. Ugly ass shot. How did this guy go number 2?
