CJ, Robert covington, Nurkic, zazh Collins, rodney hood, Gary Trent junior, Carmelo Anthony, Eness Kanter.

Add a superstar to this team and it will have championship goals.

So the Clippers rested PG last night so he could be fresh for GS (Perhaps the Fear of Chef Curry? grin) only to lose the game. This is the second time this is happening. At least now they know they can't win a game without their two stars playing.

GS vs Clippers back to back next. Those game would tell us a lot about these two teams. We go dey watch.
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 5:09am On Jan 07, 2021
So Bradley Beal dropped 60 tonight, 2 less than Steph's career high. Y'all gon give that man his respect in this league. Enough said.

And he's 27; right in his prime. He needs to leave asap. A lot of teams would be willing to take up his contract.

It's alarming. A result of the lengthy layoff perhaps?

I don’t think that’s the reason plus I think these guys play pick up basketball in the off season as well.

I don't even know if it's it but there's just something empty calorie about his numbers, he and Russ. They also have a very good offensive center in Thomas Bryant but they simply cannot stop anybody just like the old Wizards with Gilbert Arenas, Antwan Jamison and co
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:36am On Jan 08, 2021
People were clowning the GOAT not too long ago for paying Gordon Hayward. Hope y'all can see what a healthy Hayward can do.

Interesting too that the Clippers have made Batum a serviceable player again

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 6:35am On Jan 08, 2021
M. Kleber knocks down possibly the winning shot from beyond the arc. Good decision by L. Doncic to pass the ball.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 6:37am On Jan 08, 2021
Oh my!!! N. Jokic with a last second shot to tie the game.. Talk about back to back clutch shots.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 11:08am On Jan 08, 2021
If Luka Doncic could shoot free throws and 3's he would be MVP and scoring champ for 5 years straight.

Kyrie has started his skoin skoin again. Smh

Was talking about Batum the other day and the more I see the more I'm impressed. He just might be the facilitator they needed. Ibaka looks solid too.

They still need to figure out scoring from that PG position, that is inevitable! P. Beverly will not cut it as a starting PG.
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 6:39am On Jan 09, 2021
Clippers...lol grin Those guys are not ready. How many points did they lead by in this game? The ghosts of last season still lingering.

I think they have enough scoring elsewhere to make up for that. Few teams have as many wings and 4's even stretch 5's that can score. I would try to move Beverley and Lou Williams for some younger points though but who would bite?

They have enough to challenge and win as currently constituted if they play to their best. They had no business blowing the lead again today
Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 9:16am On Jan 09, 2021
They lack coaching though. You could see from the second half explosion of the warriors, the ball and player movement. You either have one dominant Facilitator running the offense like a LeBron or cp3 or you have multiple guys taking turns to create for others.

Kawhi and PG combined for 4 points in the fourth quarter as they watched the Warriors steal the victory.

For some very weird reason we have continued to under estimate the importance of a scoring PG for the Clippers but make it imperative for other teams. Let me reiterate, no competitive team in the Western conference is competing without a scoring or high volume assist PG.
The Lakers-Rondo/ Caruso last season, this season Schroeder/ Caruso
Utah-Donovan
Denver-Murray
Mavs- Doncic
Suns-Booker/Paul
Warriors-Curry
Blazers- Lillard
Thunder last season- CP3
These cats provide high volume scoring/ assists. In the post season you need a PG who can put pressure on a the defense with penetration or perimeter offense form the top of the key because the game slows down into a half court. Relying on PG13/Kawhi alone will not cut it, not saying they are not good enough. I have been saying this for 3 seasons now but nobody wan listen.

And playoffs are about matchups. Which means come playoffs, any well coached team with high assist/high scoring PG will give clips trouble. Unfortunately, half of the western conference qualifies lipsrsealed. I think people forget the role Lowry played in the Raptors championship.
