For every game this season, we’ll be doing the “Lob City Ledger” at ESPNLA.com where we give a quick rundown of what happened. Here are a few of the grades handed out by Kevin Arnovitz from tonight’s win over the Warriors:

Join Kevin Arnovitz, D.J. Foster and Mark Shore as they discuss the first regular season game of the year following the conclusion of Clippers-Warriors.

It’s time for the Chris Paul era to begin. We’ll be chatting below in ESPN’s Daily Dime Live during the game, so feel free to hop in and join the fun. After the party is the after-party, so make sure to check out ClipperBlogLive once the game ends so we can take your questions and comments and break down everything in our live postgame show!

In a millisecond, Paul analyzes the defense and decides the best option. He knows who to pass it to (and where), when to make the pass and what type of pass to execute.
