RF Sports Radio branded title card: NBA preseason Jazz beat Nuggets, Clippers edge Warriors

Preseason Sunday gave us two road trips worth talking about — one to Boulder, one to the islands.


Utah opened its preseason with a 109-97 win over Denver at CU's Events Center in Boulder. Lauri Markkanen scored 17 in just 14 minutes, Keyonte George added 15, Blake Hinson 14 and Jaren Jackson Jr. 11. No. 2 pick Darryn Peterson started and had three points on 1-of-5 shooting with six rebounds. Denver played without Jamal Murray; Julian Strawther led the Nuggets with 14. The teams meet again Tuesday in Salt Lake City.


In Honolulu, the Clippers edged Golden State 104-101 in front of 10,112 fans, per the Star-Advertiser. Rui Hachimura led LA with 21 points in 15 minutes on 8-of-11 shooting, including 4-of-5 from three.


More league-wide on the NBA (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/NBA) as the preseason slate fills out Monday with Knicks-76ers and Lakers-Kings. Radio question — which preseason storyline actually matters?

I think they bring out buried feelings of joy and happiness in people that don’t often get to see the light of day anymore. Folks are happier, kids are giddier, and teens are pressing their folks for gifts, even on Mother’s and Father’s Day. But my favorite holiday of them all is Halloween. And it has absolutely nothing to do with costumes and or candy but rather the date on the calendar it represents. October 31st signifies the start of the basketball regular season! Either your team has one game under it's belt, or is preparing for game one or is glorifying a local television broadcast with fun Halloween graphics heading into and out of commercials. The 2013-2014 NBA season kicks off two days in advance of trick-or-treating with national broadcasts coming on October 29th put October in the rearview and gear up for the season ahead.

by Matt Silverston Say what you want about Lamar Odom, and go ahead and criticize his lifestyle and the choices he's made, but I will never hesitate to stand up for those human beings who suffer from addiction and mental illness. Given that Odom's story as well as his whereabouts are uncertain and up-in-the-air at this time, the biggest issue at stake here is so much more than money, a reality TV drama, or a basketball hoop. His future livelihood as a healthy, spirited human being is under attack and in immediate jeopardy.
