This is to remind everybody that in 2020 Young Murray and Jokic send the Clippers home. now 2024 It’s their peak and you think they can play them?

Clippers needs Kai jones for free and Wendell Carter jr for PJ Tucker Plumlee and Coffey , both can be the PF isolated in the corner that can help the center to rebound and aliviate Kawhi and PG so they don’t need to rebound and match up with bigger PFs like Giannis Aaron Gordon … kawhi and PG aren’t the same size as this PFs and are stars and have advantage over most guards and SF but not PFs so clips need 2 PFs in Kai jones and Wendell Carter jr

Westbrook and Harden will disappoint as usual. Clippers won’t get past the second round.

Shannon reminded people about the Clippers falling short against the Nuggets in the bubble while omitting the fact that the same Nuggets SWEPT the Lakers in last year’s WCF. lol 🤷

Stephen A has flip flopped on Kawhi while he was in Toronto too. People underestimate the quiet types. The clippers have too many stars that are very hungry for a championship ring. Thats why they’ll win it… if healthy of course. That goes for every team. If healthy…

I think there’s at least 6 teams that are a threat to the Nuggets and the Lakers are not one of them
