yeah, shamet's not bad. and i think they got a couple other things in that deal that helped facilitate the PG deal. but still...the real trick was making that franchise not a laughing stock. and that's ballmer more than anything, imo.
If we are healthy we may be the tougher out. Playoff Lebron & Playoff Anthony Davis should be a little better than Leonard and Paula. Because of Davis, if he has another gear like we are starting to see. He's more impactful over Paula than Leanard may be over Lebron. And that's not even a given.
No validity to what I said? If Lebron and AD are healthy for the series along with our size advantage and pick up of Markieff and now Waiters which should help cancel their Morris and Jackson. Why?
Bron is 35; they'll throw waves of defenders at him to wear him down, IMO. You'll have Beverly, Morris, Kawhi, Paul, which all show different looks and give a fresh guy to make Bron work. They'll likely single cover Davis and take their chances; and Davis has to play the best basketball of his career; can he? I hope. In short the Clips are deeper and are just a better team. I don't just think this, national NBA writers, execs, and other intelligent basketball minds agree; can they end up being wrong? Sure, but I doubt it. Let's see what happens Sunday.
Why obsess over it? there's nothing that could have been done. kawhi picked the clippers, and we were sort of screwed. what's the point of repeating over and over that the clips will beat us in the playoffs, or on sunday, or whenever? very few people have argued that the lakers would be favored in a series, and yes, fans are likely to think there's a chance until there isn't one. kawhi leonard didn't look that great as the playoffs wore on last year. paul george hasn't been the picture of health. either one of them is compromised, and we can definitely take them down. that's much better than researching s***ty euros right now and calculating how many losses we'll need to guarantee a good lotto odds tier. also: had houston shot like this against us a couple weeks ago, we'd have beaten them by 25, too. same looks.
I think he trained Kiwi for the fade? Anyway let's go, they'll try to blow us out but keep it close and win in the end
Clippers played 13 players according to the box score against Houston. I thought teams could only dress 12 for games?
We are not going play with Clippers in playoffs ..Just a feeling .I was waiting in 2006 ,but Phoenix beat us in that strange series
