The NBA is officially back and the highly-anticipated season opener between the Lakers and Clippers did not disappoint. But while many have both Los Angeles teams penciled in as a potential Western Conference Finals match up,Jonas Knox tempers expectations for the purple & gold. Kawhi Leonard and Anthony Davis had plenty of reasons to put their talents on display Tuesday night but it was LeBron James who was motivated the most to quiet the doubters.
