Clippers are playing a little possum on defense too. They will ramp it up going into the playoffs.

Clippers still win games without their full lineup and remain the biggest threat to the Lakers. Not Milwaukee, Denver, Utah or Philadelphia.

That was a poor performance by the Clippers, especially defensively. This is not a championship team

Not Milwaukee? The team that led the Clippers by almost 50?

Okay

I know you hate Kawhi and the clippers, but I’m telling you have them match up again (hopefully not) and the clippers will beat them.

Milwaukee is a regular season team. They are a one trick pony team that will get shutdown in a series against someone, don’t think they actually make it to the finals.

The Clippers don't have Gasol to help stop Giannis. They don't stop Giannis in the paint while also stopping their perimeter shooters from having a field day.

Bucks sweep the Clippers if they meet.

Ingram with the bad Defense to seal it
Everyone knows Lou is going left


Seems to be a lot of players that keep playing that bad defense against Williams then. The man can flat out score. And has been doing it a while even though they all know he is going left.

Sometimes you just have to give a guy credit for making a play.

It would have been nice to see the Pels pull off an upset just to give the Lakers some room for error with a tough one against the Rockets.

My friend, they pack the paint against the Lakers and look how AD and our inside game got neutralized.

They will expose the Bucks and beat Giannis like the raptors did. It wasn’t all Gasol.

But I don’t see Milwaukee making it out of the East anyway.

Imagine if Clippers had to play OKC in the 1st Rd. And even worse, imagine the Lakers have to play Pelicans. They getting Zion back and will probably make that 8th spot. Yikes, the pressure on the Lakers if that were to come true.


Nobody should be that terrified of a 19 year old with less than half a season of experience under his belt.


None of the contenders should be afraid. But I expect them to be tough team in a series just overmatched by Lakers or another first seed in the West.

Pels have a long way to go to earn that 8th spot. But adding Williamson will certainly be interesting. If he can bring the energy he had in preseason to that team they should make a run at the 8th seed. Favors being healthy has solidified the middle for them but Williamson will add a whole different level of energy and dynamic play. Ingram and Holiday are both clutch player this year.

If they figure it out this last half it will be fun to watch.


It would be a fun series, a good warmup. They'd win one game at most. Just the way it typically goes. I think the Spurs still end up getting the 8th seed with Memphis eventually cooling off.

It's a fearsome gameplan that worked so well against the Bucks last time they played. So well that Giannis only needed to play 26 minutes 0.0

You're kinda speaking hypothetically but they've played twice and it didn't go quite as you described.

I think so too, especially since those (bleep) keep winning games without their full roster while we take deep breaths hoping our guys AD or Lebron are not out more than 1 or 2 games.

The first match they were kinda playing with Clippers. Clip fans thought the Bucks were serious so were saying "wait till we get PG back! Then you'll see!"

PG comes back and Bucks went SMASH

We have a better chance cause we can just put AD on Giannis.

Did they not neutralize Lebron and AD and the Lakers started clanking 3s?

The first game didn’t even feel close but that one is less significant because the teams aren’t what they were going to be.

tbh I’m tired of the Clippers argument. I just want a convincing win and until I see it, they remain the biggest threat.

Kawhi was the point of attack defender, Toronto walled off the paint, and Gasol cleaned up most times Giannis went by Kawhi.

If you believe the myth that Kawhi stopped Giannis then you didn't watch the series. It's really that simple

Then you remember wrong. Giannis goes around Kawhi very easily, what deters him are the 2 or 3 defenders behind him.

The media and those who didn't watch the series believe in a myth. People who watched the series know what happened was in fact very different:

of course there's a big team defense factor in guarding Kawhi... but yea..Kawhi deserves a lot of credit

Yep. Checkmate. Case closed.
