Clippers Radio Play-By-Play Announcer @_carlojimenez talks expectations for the Clippers this season with @MJAcostaTV on The Association!

Netflix has announced that a Kevin Durant documentary is in the works. They’ve teamed up with OBB Pictures and Boardroom on this doc.   Filming for the expansive series began before the 2023-2024 season and ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics, where KD became the most decorated men’s basketball player in Olympic history. Production will continue shooting into the current season and for years beyond as he approaches the final chapters of his career.

Per NBA Advanced Stats The Utah Jazz were 7 of 8 on 2-point FGs defended by Kawhi Leonard last night The lone miss was after Lauri Markkanen grabbed a rebound over Leonard and had his putback blocked by Ivica Zubac -- Utah's first miss in the paint after Jazz started 19 for 19

The National Basketball Players Association statement about the FBI’s arrests this morning, per an NBPA spokesperson: “The integrity of the game is paramount to NBA players, but so is the presumption of innocence, and both are hindered when player popularity is misused to gain attention. We will ensure our members are protected and afforded their due process rights through this process.”

The Clippers second unit could not save them tonight John Collins, like Kawhi, mentioned how bad the turnovers were

John Collins: "Approach is important. As well as execution. I always say, energy is important. We just have to come out with the correct energy. And just attack our opponents... might have been a little bit too relaxed, too chill.… good thing about the season, we got 81 left."

Jazz center Walker Kessler recorded 22 points, 9 rebounds 4 assists, 2 steals, and 4 blocks today while shooting a perfect 7-of-7 from the field vs. the Clippers. He's the first player in NBA history to record that kind of statline on 100% shooting with 1+ made 3-pointer. Bobby Jones also did it in 1976, but there was no 3-point line back then.

Final.

Clippers fall to the Jazz, 129-108. Ivica Zubac: 19 pts, 7 rebs, 3 asts James Harden: 15 pts, 11 asts Derrick Jones Jr.: 12 pts Kawhi Leonard: 10 pts, 4 rebs, 2 asts Walker Kessler: 22 pts, 9 rebs, 4 asts, 2 stls, 4 blks Lauri Markkanen: 20 pts, 6 rebs, 5 asts Brice Sensabaugh: 20 pts, 4 rebs, 2 asts Keyonte George: 16 pts, 9 asts, 2 stls

Clippers 108 Utah 129 And the season is UNDERWAY Largest loss in a Clippers season opener in 17 years Stay tuned for postgame — Clippers host Suns Friday night in Inglewood

Victor Wembanyama is doing some absolutely insane stuff tonight vs. the Mavs.

2:24 left to play, and just playing out the string of what has been a successful night in Utah, and a shockingly uncompetitive night for the Clippers 122-98 Utah lead

Kobe Brown is also in Bogdan Bogdanovic, the odd man out of the 10-man rotation, is the only Clipper who has not played

Yanic Konan Niederhauser and Kobe Sanders are making their NBA debuts

Cam Christie might only be playing right now because Jordan Miller is out. The energy he and Derrick Jones Jr. have played with compared to the rest of most of their teammates is notable.

6:42 left to play in Utah, where Jazz lead 117-89 The last two times the Clippers played in the Mountain Time Zone, they trailed by 35 (Game 7 in Denver) and 37 (tonight in season opener) Clippers haven't lost a season opener by 20+ points since losing 117-79 to Lakers in 2008

Cam Christie checks in for the Clippers with 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter

🏳️🏳️🏳️ with 8:11 Cam Christie comes in for Kris Dunn with Utah up 32

John Collins free throw costs Delta Center free chicken. Loudest boos of the night.

Utah takes a 108-80 lead into the fourth quarter. Apparently, it's still preseason for the Clippers, so we'll see how the minutes go. Markkanen: 17 points, 7/11 FGs Jazz: 62.5% FGs Kawhi: game-worst -25

Clippers trail the Jazz after 3, 108-80.
