I think we're struggling to admit that this is a badly put together roster.
Pat Bev is not a PG and is not the defensive stalwart he used to be. He's more annoying to Clippers fans now than he is to opposing teams.
Marcus Morris is the Clayton Kershaw of role players. He sucks in the playoffs. I'm not sure why he is viewed as some defender or one of the guys who can stop Luka? Is it because his face looks a little more mean and Charles Oakley-ish? Well, looking mean doesn't stop Luka nor does it hit wide open threes.
Like Zub but he is a liability in this series.
Reggie is trash.
There's a lot of names here that once carried a level of respect for what they did as role players/ back ups. They're lesser versions of themselves on the Clippers. Their "leaders" are a top 6 to 8 ish player and a top 20 player who is really a top 40 player when it's playoff time.
Kawhi is a ceiling raiser that probably needs a quality roster around him in all ways. Not just names that used to be tough/ gritty/ etc. etc.
This team needed Kawhi to come here. But they needed him to come here with the 2019 roster as it was.....with the bevy of picks and the malleability that we had at that point to help the team make serious moves to add if need be. He is simply not enough of a floor raiser. His 41 didn't really put us in any position to win anything last night.
