    He only announced he was playing before tip off. He left the bubble for family reasons so probably getting conditioning back. That being said surely you want him there last 2 mins

      The fake crowd looks as ridiculous as the cardboard cut-outs in the NRL.

      @Bovidae its interesting if nothing else. How long until a virtual fan does something inappropriate though. Like getting naked at a zoom meeting.

              Two cracking games to start the season again.

              Such a great sport to have on mute in the background as you work from home. It's a bit like cricket I find, keep abreast of the score and catch the odd 3-5 minute passage before really tuning in with five to play in the 4th.

                @raznomore What about LeBron shutting down Kawhi on the final play (someone doesn't like to go left) and then switching onto PG to force the off balance shot?

                Vintage last minute of play from the King.

                But I still have the Clips to go all the way when they get Harrell and Lou Will back.

                  If PG had made the same defensive play on LBJ, Lebron would’ve been shooting 3 FTs...

                  It was a funny sort of game. That lineup the Clippers went with both Morris and Green I didn’t like. Harrell’s hustle and Lou’s shot making was sorely missed

                    You're joking aren't you? Please tell me you are. You can't possibly be claiming that LeBron fouled PG on that final play?

                      Also, how good was LeBron D on Kawhi at the end of Q2? Little statements, some meaningless, some lasting mentally, love that about bball leading into playofffs.

                        I don’t think it was a foul, but there was body contact as PG rose up for the shot and it’s those instances that Lebron oversells and gets calls.

                          I thought both games were a bit shit though TBH. To be expected I guess.

                          But I absolutely need to see more Zion. What an animal. What a #8 he would make...

                            Come on, that was never a foul, against anyone. And I certainly don't think LeBron gets more calls than any other star. Go back and watch Iggy and Draymond mauling him in the 2015 finals if you need to find some sympathy. Iggy even scored an MVP for his wrestling.

                              @voodoo I reckon he gets more love from the refs on both sides of the ball. He’s a phenomenal player but there have been plenty of “No WAY” moments watching him.

                                There were times LBJ went to the rim expecting a call and didn't get it, so you couldn't say the refs were bailing him out.

                                Noah will be a good addition to the Clippers.

                                    @voodoo yeah Bron had him locked up. I don't want to read into it too much but there were periods of play where Kawhi looked rusty(which is to be expected) and disinterested(defense mainly).

                                    I see there is a video still doing the rounds of Lebron allegedly grabbing Kawhi's arm on the final play of the game.

                                        Mavs and Rockets with the highest scoring first half of the season.

                                        85-75 halftime.

                                        That's a full time score in the 90s.
