A meaningless, fun game that’s the cherry on top of a week meant to highlight and celebrate the league, its fans, its culture, and the host city.

Even prior to the postponement of game(s) there’s been some serious slippage on both sides of the ball, and they’re integrating Kawhi back into the mix.

There’s little in the way of upside with this current roster, but there’s power in certainty. You know they’re gonna defend, JH/Zu PnR, etc.

Clips have gotten the DJ lob quite a few times off of this and a Norm lay attempt out of this.

But it was the right call.
First start of the season vs the Rockets and he's made an immediate impact on both ends of the floor in the first five minutes.
