Zion Williamson to miss “weeks” to start the season

If the Clippers stay healthy I don't see any way they don't win the championship. They were damn good last year and they added arguably the best player in basketball and another superstar. Their roster construction in nearly perfect...

They have a team full of dogs on defense with Kawhi, PG, and Beverly being 3 of the best defenders in the league. Lou Williams is the best 6th man in the league, Harell is an undersized beast down low and they absolutely fleeced the Lakers for Zubac. It's stars surrounded with a boatload of great role players who can all run, knock down shots and defend better than anyone in the league. They are so deep that Kawhi will be able to take a seat in many 4th quarters.

Watch the Clippers, they are going to fly all around the court and put the clamps on everyone. Watch the Nuggets, Jokic is one of the most skilled bball players you'll ever see. Watch the Bucks, Giannis is a freak. Watch the Mavs, Doncic can do everything there is to do on the court and Porzingis is another freak. Watch the Pelicans when Zion is back, he's the most athletic person in sports. Watch the Hawks, they are full of young talent. You can basically turn on any game in the NBA now and have a couple players who will wow you. The league is about as healthy as it's ever been.

I think you just made his point for him. If you want to watch one guy, you can't match the NBA's individual talent obviously. I feel like college basketball is more of a team sport still.

Yeah for me the nba is a much better product especially in the last 7 years or so as the talent level is better than its ever been. I worry a little bit about a lot of teams starting to play the exact same style but that’s about it. The college game can be pretty boring overall. Of course, I would rather watch a uconn game than an nba game...but I would rather watch any nba game than 90% of other college games.

I feel pretty much the same way. Unless I'm zooted in the middle of the night and just want to stare at a West Coast Conference game, about the only non-UConn regular season college basketball games I'd have any interest in watching are those Duke - Kansas - MSU - Kentucky games they're doing at the beginning of the year.

I told a friend that this clippers team would be beat the warriors last season at full strength. And he called me crazy. I truly believe that...
