Doc's love fest with Harrell cost him this series. Unreal.

Harrell played just 15 minutes in Games 5 and 6. He played more tonight but he had 20 on 7-10 shooting while Zubac was a -10 with 3 fouls in his 14 minutes.

You couldn't really ask Zubac to play 40+ minutes a game against Jokic and Noah was useless. They went with what they had at the 5, it was the only weakness on the roster. And they could have survived it if they had gotten better perimeter play.

They looked better with Green at the 5. Also they played Morris at the five a bunch in the season.

Going smaller would have helped on the pick and pops, which killed them the most. I could live with jokic trying to post up. It's the pick and rolls that ended them

YOu have to trade Paul George now. And no I'm not overreacting. All the physical tools are there but it's not about that. It's about PG being weak mentally. No coach can fix that. That's something Pg has to fix internally. Coming home to a place like LA with all this pressure on him is the WORST move he could have made. He's not built for it. Should have stayed in OKC with Russ. where the fans love you regardless. These LA FANS want rings. Paul can't handle that.

If those #'s are correct then the commentary is off, cause Harrell only facing Jokic for 35 minutes over three games means Doc was keeping Harrell away from Jokic a lot. Harrell was playing 20 minutes a game up through Game 4.

It also means that Harrell's =/- against Jokic would have been even though the first 4 games, so it's unclear why Doc would have been pushed to make a bigger adjustment than he did.

Zubac had a worse =/- than Harrell in Game 7.

Jokic too smart for that, with extended minutes against either of those two he would have eaten them alive the same way.

And since Harrell's minutes were often in part giving Kawhi a breather, you have to worry about the offense stagnating too, as Lou without Harrell to work with isn't the ideal shot creator for the shooters. Clippers needed a way to put points on the board when Kawhi wasn't on the court.
