    If healthy, are the Clippers the favorite in the West? 👇

      @quinnlapp2028 11 місяців тому +20

      For sure the combination of PG Kawhi and Harden is almost impossible to guard for opposing teams and the added big man play from Zubac setting great screens and rolling perfectly, ready for a Harden or Westbrook dump-down or lob makes this team a force

      Idk if they're big enough to stop the Nuggets. Zu is a great match for Jokic size-wise but the other Nuggets forwards are BIG.

    I've seen so many superteams, so called, that couldn't figure out how to work together. I am actually impressed with the way the Clippers are working together, to make their offense better than the sum of its parts. I'm actually kind of rooting for them to stay healthy and go as far as they can.
    Which is amazing considering that last year, PG and Kawhi were jokes of load management, Russ was coming off an awful Lakers stint, and Harden might have had the absolute worst rep by forcing his way out of Philly. Now look at them.

    Damn, I was already excited about the Clippers, but this video makes me like them even more. There was an infographic on one Clippers broadcast where Kawhi and Harden were respectively the first and second best iso scorers in the league (if I remember correctly). These guys are gelling so hard.

  • @erstimus5439
    @erstimus5439 11 місяців тому +121

    The offensive distribution is also great with all these guys being on the older side; allows them to mitigate some of the stamina issues that follow being older as well as saving more energy for them to defend.

    • @shorewall
      @shorewall 11 місяців тому +13

      For real, it is so resource expensive for what you are getting, but they all cover for each other, and somehow the Clippers still have some players around them. For this team, built around PG and Kawhi, this is the best version.

    Since 16 superteams offenses have been amazing. Stars with shooting ability(portability) have been amazing together. It’s been roster construction that’s been their championship downfall. Usually lacking depth or defense or rebounding. But playing together in a league where nearly every star takes multiple 3’s a game has worked.

    All the people telling me Kawai was washed are now acting like they never said it. 😂 I was trying to tell everyone Kawhi Leonard‘s knee had a botched surgery. he needed to get surgery again or a complete year off. But there were so much media pressure and all the idiots who are sheep and repeat exactly what they are told would not allow that.
    So it was a blessing in disguise that is ACL tore again because he got proper surgery this time. All the haters saying how he’s perpetually injured do not understand when you get a ligament replaced and it’s botched, it’s completely unstable and can go at any moment and that’s what Kawaii was feeling for the last two years. When he tore his knee, he still scored 38 points in the playoffs two games in a row, and when he’s on the court, he’s always the best player there is.
    If he had a better personality, we would talk about him as one of the greatest .

    Kawhi and PG can play off ball. That’s why they can gell together with Harden
