[Mainstreet]

Gordon Hayward is expected to miss about 4 weeks with a reported "Grade 3 ankle sprain."

The plan is this. Lakers lose getting humiliated in the first round and LrBron blames AD. AD bolts for his mentor Monty Williams and the Suns.

One game down.

Lillard. Wow. May force the NBA to move the 3 point line out even farther.

Why? It's not like that would affect Lillard. It would only affect all the players that don't shoot from that deep.

 

[Mainstreet]

After some injury problems it looks like it has been worth the wait for Nurkic.

Houston is proving you don't need big men to win.

Great game by Portland. Chris Weber is annoying. Portland has some bigs that can also punish the lakers just like they do. Great match up there with the bigs.

Lillard, McC, Melo might be better than Lbj and his best two, other than AD, who would they be?

I get Caruso is a serviceable player but man they'll attack him every time. Might see the vets get more time as the series goes on.

I expect Danny Green and Caldwell Pope to get going.

He can't do any worse than yesterday.lol

And more out of Morris and Waiters. I think the Lakers will figure it out but Nurkic is the X factor for me.

Waiters only played 1 minute in last nights game? What is up with that?

I didn't get a chance to watch the game but perhaps a match-up problem with McCollum or Lillard but Caruso... I don't get it.

Me neither. Being down 0-1 me thinks Vogel leash on Waiters got shorter.jmo

 

[Ronin]

Porter Jr looking smooth out there.

 

[95pro]

I'm rooting for the underdog in the Mavs, but i also think the Clippers are one of the teams that can handle the lakers in a series. My issue with the clips is Reggie Jackson, he did make a lot of shots last night but imo he's killing the flow/chemistry the team had. And his defense isnt that great. They might actually be missing Beverly even though i thought he wasn't as impactful as pesky as he is.

has been preparing players for the probability that the start of free agency in mid-October could be pushed back several weeks.

 

[Mainstreet]

The idea of getting fans back in the arenas could push back the start of next season.

Now there's a basketball name, especially to Spurs fans.

Without a widely available vaccine I don't see fans in the seats. I can see them playing without a bubble but I don't see how teams can even half fill arenas until Covid is clearly on the way out.
