What is better than the boring Clippers?

Back to back games against them!

The Kings won a game! We must reclaim 9Th place.

Yeah 2 tiers above even with AD and DLive...

What's worrying is that this is their best defensive lineup and LAC put 135 on them in 2nd gear...

We were blown out at basically full strength.
Kyrie would have made a difference but not enough to win either game imo.
Just how bad is this team and just how bad did Nico wreck this thing?
This is sickening beyond belief.

This Clippers team is so well built with significant depth against the likes of OKC and BOS. The Mavs stand no chance against the top tier teams. Kawhi makes a difference on both end. Mavs guard defense is way too bad. Kawhi and Harden are way too much. Mavs frontcourt lacks the strength against Zubac. Clippers have 3-4 playmakers on court at the same time. Our best defender PJ fails to guard either, Kawhi, Harden and Powell. So is Martin and Naji. Diwiddle and Klay are vulnerable on both end.

But let's be real, even with Luka, this team falls against the LAC without 3 ball miracles.

Doesn't D win championships? Without Luka and Kyrie and with AD, D should have been elite. Apparently not. Clippers have 17th best offense in Nba.

Yeah, Nico's trading PJ, Gaff and Naji for KD.

That freak injury by Kyrie was the start of the end of the season. You can't compete at a high level with Spencer Dinwiddie taking most of the PG minutes. That's a 3rd string PG on a minimum salary.

who would have thought, uh?
