My concern is Paul George's ball stopping and "me first" play coming back as this was some of the best ball movement and team effort I've seen in 2 years. Very very good game.
That's all I have to say. Everyone for the most part played exactly how they will need to to be a championship team.
This team is getting my hopes up, but fo the first time since the beginning of the season, I see a vision where the Clippers can actually win the championship this year.
I wouldn't call PG a ball stopper. Kawhi is more of a ball stopper. PG has more issues with disappearing than with ball stopping.
In that interview about the Rondo trade, Frank was talking about how much we rely on those 2 to initiate our offense. But obviously they carry the major scoring load as well, so I think there's a fine line there for both players.
Our overall offensive numbers are great and our 3PT shooting has been phenomenal which requires open looks, so I guess on the whole we can't criticize Kawhi and PG too much about ball stopping. I do think this is where adding that experienced true point guard can help re-distribute the ball handling a bit. We didn't hurt our defense in the trade, and the continued good play of Mann/Jackson/Kennard makes up for loss in scoring.
