These are all bad losses for LAC. Same bad decisions over and over in their marquee games.

Their last two playoff runs they only made it out of the first round bc Kawhi went god-mode vs Luka/Dallas.

I don’t think that’ll be enough this year tho. They seem worse/dumber despite having a better roster than their previous teams.

Clippers are just tinkering with lineups right now, especially since Zubac is out. Their defense isn't this bad.

The Great news Is Kawhi is officially back and the offense looks fantastic, despite the trouble with double teams. It's great to deal with that problem now and come up with counters.

:mjlol: No their defense is this bad wtf. It’s been trending down for months. But their offense has been great.

Feel like if they're gonna keep Russ in the starting lineup then they really need to bring Covington back. They're still gonna have holes cause Westbrook is a terrible defender and Plumblee gets exposed against good centers and any team that knows how to exploit him on the pick-and-roll.

If they avoid playing Russ much and Zubac comes back, then a lineup of Mann-PG13-Kawhi-Covington-Zubac/Plumblee can play strong defense if they can figure out schemes to protect the centers.

When Zubac comes back they will keep russ in the starting lineup. Russ isn't the problem on defense nor is he the problem on offense.

People forget that plumlee is a backup offensive Center. Zubac starting means the Clips don't have to go small for long stretches against Jokic.

Jokic played a fantastic game, but he literally does that to everyone.

Lue is going to f*ck around and tinker-experiment us into the play in tournament. Outside of Kawhi being hurt that's been his excuse all season long. Time to cut the bullshyt and play the guys that's supposed to play for once
