Luka just kills the Clippers - I think they do everything they can to avoid the Lakers. They beat Dallas in the playoffs but that was Luka and bunch of scrub teams
i'm not as worried about playing the clips in the playoffs as i would've been before. luka's here now and lebron defends kawhi well. my only worry would be zubac having his way in the post
This right here is a legitimate concern Can we rotate our 3 bigs and make it work will be a big part of the series
i think you let zubac get 30 and take shots away from leonard, plz. then let luka cook zubac on the other end in the pick and roll.
I have zero fear of the Clips if everyone's healthy. We can beat them, we can beat Denver. Of course, we can beat GSW too and I'd look forward to our matchup with them. OKC though... I don't know if we can right now. I feel this is their year to show they are truly the best.
I think we just got Bron and Rui back, so we should be as complete as it gets, realistically. Sure, we could use a guy like Maxi, but it's probably not happening. By the time he's ready to play -- if we're still alive in the playoffs -- he probably won't be able to contribute much.
Step 1. Get them back Step 2. Gel and develop chemistry. Get deeper into your bag when teams take away first three options of any action.
