Kawhi Leonard is not listed on the injury report for Saturday's game. Sharpshooting guard Luke Kennard is the only rotation player set to miss this game for the Clippers, so they will be close to fully healthy in this one.

For the Spurs, they will be without Zach Collins, Romeo Langford, and Blake Wesley. These three players are already listed as out, but several more have unconfirmed statuses. Malaki Branham, Keldon Johnson, and Doug McDermott are all probable, while Jakob Poeltl and Devin Vassell are both questionable.

Little sloppy but the ball movement looks much better

It's amazing what ball movement can do for you.

Off ball catch & shoot PG is elite level! This is what we've been wanting to see all along

I like this catch and shoot/attack version of PG much better than the playmaking version.

Lottery Offense 

Post#13 » by Wammy Giveaway » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:25 am

I don't know what it is, but I feel as though this hot offense Clippers are experiencing won't last. When they go up against a playoff team or title contender, they will regress back to the team who is dead last in offense and turnovers. Against lottery teams like Spurs, they'll feel like the league leaders.

All I'm saying is, this game will only do nothing but to adjust their offense rating so that they won't be last in that category. They'll be happy with it as it's a requirement for title contention: if they're still 30th by the time they qualify for playoffs, they are guaranteed to lose. No team in NBA history has ever won a title with the worst offense in the league, regardless of defensive rating.

Bro this is the first game of the season where we've seen anything close to a good offense from this team. Let it breath and work its kinks out against this subpar team. Its only Kawhi's second game back. PG is finally finally FINALLY playing off ball and catch n shoot. Norm and Reggie is looking much better. And small actually had some legs to it in the first half. We'll worry about everything else later. You're getting waaaaaay ahead of yourself

Clippers so far are the league's worst offense statistically, yes, worse than the Lakers, worse than the Pistons and Rockets, they literally have nowhere but up to go. I don't think talent wise this is the league's worst built offensive team, so yes, let's at least have some expectation that they won't stay as a miserable offensive team all season long.

We can’t catch a break. Sheesh. Hope it’s just precautionary.
