Big men Andris Biedrins (back, groin) and Ronny Turiaf (left knee) remain shelved. The team said Biedrins' latest MRI showed a "moderate strain of an abdominal muscle," which is related to his original injury. He won't be re-evaluated for another week.

Power forward Brandon Wright is out 6-8 weeks after left shoulder surgery.

W's need Byron Scott!!

Who wants to see this happen??

We need a new coach to bring in some fresh views!

"Baron is a great player," Jackson said. "What upsets me is that they want to boo him, but they have short memories. They forget that the reason they're still coming here is because of what we did. The organization was in the trash can before we had that year."

My reaction: Guess what SJax.. we're still in the trashcan.

Let the Charles Barkley fireworks begin. Straight from the TNT pregame show:

Charles Barkley: I’m telling you, the Clippers are going to be a surprise team in the West. And C-Webb just bet me, we’re going to bet a nice dinner, that the Clippers are going to have a better record than the Warriors, which is a no-brainer. The Clippers and Oklahoma City are BOTH gonna have a better record than Golden State.

Chris Webber: Oh, wow. The Clippers are real good at being terrible. They’re very consistent, every year. I’ve got Golden State having the better record.

CB: Every now and then, an ugly girl wakes up pretty.

Marcus Thompson twitter: Nellie didn't want to reveal the opening night starting lineup. I found out anyway: PG Curry, SG Ellis, SF Jax, PF Turiaf, C Biedrins

Today’s Monta Ellis’ 24th birthday. Being the lone rookie on the team, Steph Curry had to lead the estimated crowd of 4,000 in a rendition of Happy Birthday. Some kids brought him cake and cards.

Stephen Curry is consistently called the team's best passer by coaches, and, at least in this case, passing appears to be contagious. On back-to-back practice sets Sunday, all five players touched the ball, and each set ended with a dunk. "That kind of movement puts a lot of stress on the defense and definitely gets easier shots for us," Curry said. "With the shooters we have and the skilled big men who can finish, everyone who touches it can potentially make a play. I think that's kind of deadly."
