last year 17th in defensive rating, this year 4th. crazy thing is the only net negative lineup of their most used 15 lineups on the season with all currently active clippers is the starting lineup they used last night. im not a big fan of that lineup because i think youre sacrificing too much size having kawhi is your only true forward on the floor. post trades 5 of the top 9 clippers in minutes is shooting at least 39% from 3, thats as good as any team in the league. so the defense is there and the firepower is there.

JVG deserves a ton of credit. But also bringing in Dunn, DJJ, and Simmons somewhat has been tremendous for this team defensively.

If Brian Shaw was coach would he have started Kawhi today?

The Cavs game is clearly the more difficult game. Clippers would have a better chance beating Orlando without Kawhi on a back to back then beating Cleveland without Kawhi.

If Shaw was coach Kawhi probably starts this game

Watch the Clippers lose both games because of this move smh

its definitely the conservative call, that playing kawhi against cleveland isnt worth the risk of losing both. never know with the way cleveland has been playing lately maybe theyll pull it off without kawhi.

We're hanging around at least. But the game feels like we getting blown out second half.
