He will practice for few more days before he'll debut with the Clippers as reported.

Their next game will be on November 6 on the road against the Knicks, so plenty of time for James Harden to practice with the team, and thats the time we can judge if the Clippers made the right decision getting Harden and letting some of their reliable players go.

Alperen Şengün broke a new record and became the youngest center to reach 500 assists in his NBA career. The record in this field belonged to Nikola Jokic, but Alperen improved this record for 1 year. I still can't believe this kid was born in 2002. He's an experienced player who knows what he's doing, as if he has been playing in the NBA for years. The Houston Rockets are lucky to have him. I'm sure we'll see him as an All-Star in the future. If he continues to play like this, he can be an All-Star even this year.

the games have started and I haven't even had the time or funds to place my bets yet, I'm still thinking about whether I'll place bets or whether I'll just be following the games, the problem with game times is something that has created an obstacle for me not to watch every game and without Watching the games is difficult to keep putting money in and expect to make a profit. although team data is easily found on the internet, I still prefer to watch the games to get a better idea of how each player behaves on each team. Anyway, I'll see as time goes by whether I'll place bets or not. In any case, the Lakers won, in a game in which, from what I saw in the highlights and game data, it seemed to me that it was not an easy game for the Lakers, who won by a small difference of points.

In the first period the game ended with an overwhelming defeat for the Lakers, there was a 13 point difference. in the second period it was disputed, with the period ending in a draw. In the third period the Lakers managed to turn the game around and won by a difference of 15 points, it was a great achievement. In the 4th period the Lakers lost, but it was a defeat by a small difference of points, it was 2 points which made the game tied and in the tiebreaker the Lakers won by 5 points difference. The next game will be against Orlando Magic, who are coming off a defeat and who, before that defeat, also lost against the Lakers. It's strange that this game between Lakers and Magic isn't appearing at stake yet. So I still don't know who the favorite will be and what odds they will have. but my opinion is that the lakers will win

I am guessing that they are trying something different this season, they are known as "could have been but always injured" team so they are trying to just play a bit more relaxed and that's the result. They do not feel the pressure anymore, and PG tried his best to be fair to get the team back and they did their best to get a tie and they were at OT as well, the only issue is that Austin Reaves ended up playing like prime Kobe for that overtime and they did managed to get the win.

Plus Lakers played amazingly too, surely Clippers needs to learn to get a win and all that but we need to give credit to how great Lakers played as well, look at Lebron at year 21, that dude played like he is still on his prime at the end of the game, it's hard to beat that. With Harden coming, I am sure that they are going to be able to do a lot better, a westbrook-harden-pg-kawhi four on the floor could be as unstoppable as it gets if they do take it seriously and play well.

We are actually seeing teams that they should secure a win but they just can't protect their lead. Maybe too much confidence or they just can't get along with the rally?

Lakers just did well on this game.

I've watched on how they're able to come up and take over that huge lead by the Clippers. Anyway, both of them are just from the same place LOL but a win is certainly much bigger for the Lakers on this game.

Moving on, Lakers will be up against Orlando Magic next.

I've just watched them against Lakers and honestly, Kawhi did well together with George but it wasn't a good ending for them. Still gonna wait until this full roster gets inside to play together.

Who's going to be the leader, the playmaker and the one to adjust for their different roles.

Haha, he's just a fan of that gesture. LOL.

The Suns losing 2 straight to the Spurs is a pretty bad look. Sure, they were down a couple players but that shouldn’t have mattered. Wemby looking much better than I expected this early in the season. He was really exposing the weakness of the Suns, who seem more built to compete with the Warriors than a team with length like the Spurs.

And it really put a lot of confidence to this young guys, to be able to have the numbers of the Phoenix Suns. But the Suns is still missing some key players if I'm not mistaken. So it's not fair to them. And it's too early to say though, they are somewhat a new team as they have rebuild at the start of the season.

Even the Warriors had the numbers of Sacramento Kings this early but it doesn't matter. What matters is that if they face in the playoffs, the Kings should have learn their experience players with the Warriors.

Agreed. A team with that much firepower losing against such a young team back to back at home sure is not the best look for them.
But it shows what many people feared about that team, the lack of defense.
Maybe SA was also just a bad fit for them them but seeing how easy the Spurs scored inside the paint ( not only Wemby ) was scary. They didn't have any answer to that.

Wemby is also a nightmare for any defense already. You give him space, he shoots from outside, you close out and he just moves to the basket and dunks over you. 

Yeah, the regular season has just started, but Zion is already missing games to rest. It's weird, but it looks like the Pelicans medical staff has some valid concerns about his physical condition. I guess the problem is with his knees again, and the Pelicans need to do something with Zion's injury predisposition, otherwise this will go on "indefinitely" since the main reason for that is because he's overweight.
