    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 think we find a way to deny him or run him off the court

    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.

    One of the few times I can ever recall rooting for the modern Clippers, it felt gross. But, nice to avoid GS in the first round, good on them.

    I was in a bar, rooting for Flop City while wearing my Lakers hat. I felt dirty.

    You don't root "For" them you root "Against GS". You feel less dirty that way

    clips look really good, actually. i wouldn't have imagined that a team starting zubac and kris dunn could score as easily as they do, but i guess all three of the wings can really fill it up, so they have an old school offense that functions well enough. this allows them to play two defenders and cover for harden, which is always a trick--though one a few coaches have figured out now.

    i expect them to beat denver, and if kawhi's still healthy, i might favor them against okc, too.

    If Murray is hobbled, Clipps will smoke them. They have the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and possibly 5th best player in that series. That being said, go Jokic.

    As I said way back now, I don’t see any punishment coming to the Clippers or Kawhi. I don’t think Silver actually cares about this, which is wild because they clearly cheated to land Kawhi, paid him under the table to gain an advantage over Toronto and us
