The Clippers win their 6th in a row. I sure missed the boat on Batum, I thought he was done before coming to LA but the man is still an elite defender. He defended against every position last night. Zu was a beast and Bledsoe is starting to fit in. When Serge finishes his G League stint they can work him in. I wasn’t sure that they were a playoff team without Kawhi but with good health, they will likely be in the playoffs _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.
They're doing this without Klay. That Wiseman pick might be the second of Darko. What could have been had Detroit had Carmelo. What could have been if the Warriors had also drafted a Melo (Lamelo ).
They're smoking teams right now and doing it defensively. _________________ KOBE

They've become an excellent defensive team and a guy who was considered one of the best 3 and D guys hasn't played a game yet. Yikes.
The officiating in this GSW/Clipps game is abrogious (beyond terrible)
EDIT - and in so doing, they woke Steph all the way up. Lol
2nd edit - #welp. Poor Paperclips....
They're so deep it's insane. Where we have zero wing defenders...they have Iggy, Otto Porter Jr and Wiggins (who surprisingly is a positive defender these days). Oh and they have perhaps the GOAT of 3-d players in Klay chomping at the bit to return. Rim protection? Overrated these days. They have Draymond as their center. Love Draymond's D but he's certainly not a rim protector per se. They have loads of guys that are able to switch. Heck, we had Gary Payton 2 on our G-league squad and he's now giving them 15-20 minutes a game of Caruso like impact. Knowing Klutch and the front office, we'd have traded all of those impact players for one Russell Westbrook. _________________ KOBE
