Thank you
https://twitter.com/duclerZ/ I was hoping to look a preview before watching this game so let me add little bit more info.


I was thinking about which would be the best roster for achieving possible win here. I wanted to compare teams and to look for where Clippers could have and ought to take advantage. Maybe it is times for Doc to meld cards here since Clippers have deep roster but on the other hand he said and it is true that it is hard to find a right combination in every specific situation. My first thought was to go big on them as maybe from just physical perspective it is possible to exploit concrete advantage but just if it is the real, true advantage. Why not try to start with Marjanovic and Harrell together on the floor. They are both terrific offensive players and in defense Harrell could help Boban at least at perimeter a little bit. Boban is 7'03'' while both Vucevic and Bamba are 7'00' while Mozgov is 7'01''. It is said that every inch is important in basketball but IDK maybe Clippers advantage doesn't lays in that bush.
I am not a bettor nor I suggest and promote gambling but I am not gonna lie I will put my trust in Clippers organisation to win this and to prove my trust I am gonna place small bet on even bigger spread where odds are much juicier. 2 possession game win of 6 points which are 2 three point shots advantage are payed double + 10%.

And SGA should be tested as a started too in my mind. Any thoughts? I know it's only my idea and Doc has to stick to some protocols of standard rotations but it would be so strange and I think he should check more options with these number of each uniquely talented players.
Bobi to Start

AB 36-25-100 (on one attempt?) no future with the team
PB 28-20-69, no future with the team
I guess they know where Doc buried the bodies.

Why does Bradley have 6 shot attempts?? If it's not a layup off of a cut or bucket after a steal, he and Bev SHOULD NOT take shots outside of the offense, they suck

He earns his minutes as a dogfighter back down on D so what should he do at offence , can't hide from the ball.

Well I am happy I could trust clippers. Not totally easy win but not as hard also. Rotations were good only some were little bit late.

The Austin Rivers Memorial Dog House

This one's easy.
Marjanovic got the nod ahead of Marcin Gortat, who was healthy but did not play Friday night. Gortat had started 186 straight games but was averaging just 3.6 points and 5.5 rebounds per game through eight starts this season.

This team is not that bad nor that good. Their season could come down to effort, rotations, and health. If Boban keeps contributing that is one hole plugged. The big question is at the guard spots. What is the best balance of defense vs offense? When does scoring points become as important as preventing points? Tough question. I do wish they had a great playmaker at PG to get shots for other guys. I know they have a good one but he does not play much for other reasons.
