The big show down is cancelled because Kawhi is injured.

This game proves nothing because Kawhi is injured.

So tell your girlfriends that your plans changed and you do not have to watch the game and you would be happy to take your girlifriend out for Valentines day. Now if Kawhi was not injured I would say tell your girlfiend that work is making you stay late and then I would watch the game.

26- 25 Warriors 7-3 in last 10

35-17 Clippers 7-3 in last 10

Clippers injuries
Kawhi out
Bones Hyland out
PJ Tucker out

Warriors injuries
Chris Paul out

Kawhi being out means JK should have pretty solid access to the rim. I would have been worried about Tucker but he's out too

Still not scared of that team at full health either. Warriors are still built to dismantle iso-heavy teams

If fully healthy, I think the Clippers are almost title favourites. Just my opinion and I expect others to lose their mind over it.

At this point, I'm sure they are many people's 2nd favorite to come out of the West.

I'm happy for them.. I hope they get the 1 seed

Going to be my favorite team to bet against in the playoffs

There is always the Westbrick factor, so it could be a good bet.

Not just him.. used to use a metric that helped with finding good bets (IE teams that had high bed-sh*tting potential) based on their top 8 players' consistency and effectiveness in clutch and playoff games. Current Clips had 3 guys who almost always weighed their team down (Harden, PG13, Russ). Kawhi a huge + there though so..

Havent used it in a while but it was somewhat simple for a metric and pretty effective. May try it again this year.. I know it liked the Warriors early on, even during the cold streak. Its why I put a 100 on the Warriors +5500 recently. Only other bets I made were OKC (+2100) and Indiana (+10000) as my dark horse

I find it very difficult to go against a fully healthy prime Kawhi Leonard in the playoffs, even with those flawed stars around him.

Watched a bit of the Pistons at the Suns. I think Wiseman is getting worse. He has no chemistry with any of his teammates.

jK is going to score 30. He had a quiet game in Utah. He is too proud to have 2 quite games in a row.
Even Kawhi was not going to be able to contan JK.

I'm about to coax a trade for Kuminga in my fantasy league. I just need him to have one more quiet game to get the job done.

How could Wiseman get worse?
He had no chemistry with the Warriors and no feel for the game.

I do trust that Wiseman was fast and agile for a 7 footer.
I want Wiseman on my beach volleyball team.
I just don’t think Wiseman knows basketball.

Clippers have a lot of big names. Bettors are going to love the Cippers too much. Betting against the Clippers is probably a smart bet.

I already like Klay not taking every shot early on but analyzing the offense. Love the deflection on PG13 and the cut for the layup.

If Klay buys into doing different things to impact the game then he can be very impactful rest of his career.
