The Clippers are a hot mess already — how are they going to compete in a loaded Western Conference? LA let Paul George walk and now will start the season without Kawhi Leonard, leaving James Harden as the lone star to open the new Intuit Dome on Wednesday.

Phoenix is a team with an enormous chip on its shoulder, given the way it underachieved last season. I expect the Suns to take care of business in game one, easily covering against a Clips squad that simply won't be able to match up with them.
