THE PROFESSOR'S NBA BIG BAD BLOWOUT
(NBA) LA Clippers vs. Golden State,
Point Spread: -3.50 | -110.00 Golden State (Home)
Result: Loss
The Los Angeles Clippers will take on the Golden State Warriors in NBA action.

The Los Angeles Clippers find themselves in a tough spot to start the season. Thye have to start without thier best player in Kawhi Leonard and may face playing the whole season without him. They also have salary-cap limitations that make it difficult for them to replace him. Paul George will have the opportunity to prove he is the man, but I have my doubts. Eric Bledsoe and a healthy Serge Ibaka will need to step up this season and contribute more than they did last season. This could be a long season for the Clippers and not one that their fand had anticipated.

The Golden State Warriors got the season started on the right foot with a 121-114 win on the road against the LA Lakers. Stephen Curry had a triple-double with 21 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists. The Warriors had four guys in double figures and put up 68 points in the second half.

Playing without Kahi is nothing new for the Clippers. Paul George, Reggie Jackson, and Eric Bledsoe have enough talent to win games but Bledsoe will have to play better than he did last season. Golden State opened the season with a win over the Lakers, a game in which Curry shot just 5 for 21. The Warriors are missing Klay Thompson, James Wiseman, and rookie Jonathan Kuminga from the line-up. Curry is not shooting 5-21 again tonight and I don't trust the Clippers.

Play on Golden State.
