Kevin Durant on being fired up at the end of tonight’s game: “Quite frankly, we just want to start the season off way better, with more energy, have more people rally around us than we did last year. I feel like our fans could get behind the product that was on the floor.” – 2:13 AM

KD cooked Gabe Vincent down the stretch. He was just too small. I think the Lakers expected Max Christie to be their fifth closer in those situations coming into the year. He just hasn’t been good enough. The Lakers don’t have a reliable fifth guy yet and that was the difference. – 12:28 AM

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander got the game ball for Alex Reese after scoring his first NBA points.
JDub shared the podium with Reese and Ajay Mitchell and asked them what it was like scoring their first NBA points.
Really cool moments.

More on this storyline
It’s a long season, and Westbrook is beloved by many who are still with the Clippers. He will see how well he connected with Clippers fans in five weeks when the Nuggets visit Intuit Dome. The Clippers were there for Westbrook at what might have been the nadir of his career. But the Clippers are committed to the pieces they have now without Westbrook, and Saturday’s result makes it easier not to look back again. “We’re both inner-city L.A. kids,” Harden said of Westbrook after Saturday’s game. “When it’s all said and done, we’ll be in the Hall of Fame. That’s a story right there. I’m happy he’s happy and he’s playing well. He’s doing his thing here in Denver. So it’s always happiness when we see each other.” -via New York Times / October 27, 2024
Norman Powell led the Clippers with 35 points on 7-of-11 shooting from deep. James Harden added 21 points with 12 at the foul line, while Ivica Zubac went for 24 points and 15 rebounds. Jamal Murray scored 22 points for Denver. -via Denver Post / October 26, 2024
So for you, when you look around this place, what gives you the inspiration this season? Harden: I feel like we have to show out. I’m not going to individualize myself. I think us as an organization gotta show out and show that since we quote “lost” or we’re “not a championship contender” from outsiders, that we want to show out and bring some energy into this building and win a lot of games. And I think we got the pieces to do it. And then as Kawhi starts getting himself back into the mix, he is just going to add on and we are going to just keep getting better and growing. So I’m excited. I think the fans are excited. We got a new establishment, and we are ready to get it on. -via ESPN / October 23, 2024

Duane Rankin: “I just got to do whatever they need me to do.” Kevin Durant after 30-point night in Suns loss at Lakers as he played the 5 late. On 3s, Suns took 37. Durant said they can “get at least 10 more up.” Felt like he could’ve shot “six to seven” 3s. Went 2-of-3. #Suns #LakeShow pic.x.com/hu1c8MMMw7 -via Twitter @DuaneRankin / October 26, 2024

“I saw a lecture that you gave on panopticism at UC Berkeley. Do you have a favorite philosopher or philosophical theory that you find most thought-provoking? Jaylen Brown: Favorite philosopher… I’d say Socrates. He studied at the Library of Alexandria. Actually, I got to go there this summer. I spent a lot of time there. It’s not the same as the Library of Alexandria because it burned down, but there are still historical monuments and documents that exist. It was cool spending time there this summer. But in terms of philosophers, I think Tupac might be up there too. You know, he had a lot of deep thoughts about society, culture, and the world. I think philosophy isn’t just about the old guys like Socrates or Plato. It’s about anyone who thinks deeply about life and tries to understand it from different angles. That’s what I try to do too.” -via YouTube / October 23, 2024
