. This is a new team with Rondo in, Mann rising, Patterson staking his claim over Kennard, and R-Jax playing the best ball of his career. Getting more production out of Zubac and the mostly-meh Marcus Morris will only be gravy.
The more everybody else does, the less Kawhi and PG have to supply. The Lakers skunked the Nets Sunday without their 3 best players after Schroder got tossed. Forget Kawhi's and PG's dismal collapse in games 6 and 7 the Nugs. [Well actually, we have no choice but to forget it.

Despite all the superteam BS, I think the best TEAM is gonna win it all this year. The Jazz could knock off anybody in West. That is one well-oiled machine. The Lakers keep hanging in there despite no Bron nor Brow.
These could be the best NBA playoffs in many a year. May the best TEAM win. Let's get to work. No scatterass. CONTROL every possession, on offense or defense. School's out!
This should be a 20 point win or more with Kawhi, Morris etc not playing more than 4-5 minutes in the 4th because we are up so much.
Terrence Mann should have more minutes ongoing than Reggie. A big mistake.
Zubac the last 2 games has been horrific. Morris is far better.
If the Clippers and Zu play defense, we should win this game by 15+. If not, Kawhi PG and Morris will have to play more minutes bc Zu is playing awful.
With all due respect to our latest frequent poster, I think what has poisoned this board for years is pitting one Clipper against another. Jim should be getting more minutes and Joe sucks.
I've had ENOUGH of this.
There are 48 minutes per man in a regulation NBA game and nobody since Wilt Chamberlain has played all of them. On some nights, Joe is better than Jim. These are human beings.
Again, in this bizarre year, the best TEAM will win this thing, I think. I could see the Jazz or Nugs making the Finals over the Lakers or Clips, or the Nets getting knocked off before skating to the Finals too.
Come the playoffs, there will be plenty of minutes for everybody who EARNS them. Even Patterson. Let it roll.
