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 donโt need to rebound and match up with bigger PFs like Giannis Aaron Gordon โฆ kawhi and PG arenโt 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 wonโt get past the second round.

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…

January 31, 2024 at 2:31 am
I think there’s at least 6 teams that are a threat to the Nuggets and the Lakers are not one of them
