For the Kings, Huerter was such a great low key trade. I know he didn't have an impressive game, but I just like how he looks out there. Fox is awesome. I was a huge fan when he entered the draft but didn't love his progress the last few years. I guess exhibit A why you give young players time if they are hard workers.
I was really interested to see the new Clippers. It is only one half of one game that I saw. I thought Westbrook looked good. The key for him is can he play within himself game in, game out. Plumlee also looked good. It will be interesting to see who he takes minutes from. Batum? I actually really like Batum when he is on the floor. Gordon looked absolutely cooked on defense. He just couldn't move. Something to watch. In the first half, he couldn't stay in front of anyone.
It really was. Both teams literally couldn't miss. Kawhi lit up the 3rd like he was prime MJ.
I think Brown's Warriors-lite offense plays so well with the strengths of Sabonis, Fox, and Heurter. They're a really fun team, and I'm curious to see if they can keep it up into the playoffs.
For the Clips, I felt like Westbrook wasn't too bad, but he made some of the worst choices throughout the game and he definitely was one of the reasons why the Kings stayed in it. His 2 4th quarter turnovers late in the game stood out to me. Same with PG13. He made some of the worst decisions to close out the game.
Gordon looks so out of shape to me. Plumlee was a great pickup for them even though he had butter fingers throughout OT.
