All business. Cool. OWN IT.
We're the oldest, but not by much. Their 3 best players are older than ours.

The Golden State Warriors' starting five is the most veteran in the entire NBA (35.8 years) with a difference of 4 YEARS and 2 MONTHS compared to the second most veteran (Clippers)
Oops.

After 3 losses, they went 18-3 to close the season. My sentiments exactly: Probably not up to the playoff grind of the 21st century go-go NBA, but good enough to win a series against anybody.

John Collins says he appreciates the accountability of this Clippers team.
“It’s intense. You got CP, James, Kawhi. Brook, champ. All of our guys. Seeing how they come in and work. And also how they’re speaking to me. The demands and accountability that they want from me to play at is a lot higher than I’ve had to deal with before. It’s nothing for me to go down in a hole and play a little harder. I’m happy to have those guys more than anything cheering me on. And leading me to hopefully a ring.”

JC will be one of the very top moves of the off-season for all teams. Excited to see his impact.

Saw tonight's game on NBA.com
John Collins looks good. Kawhi, Zu, and CP3 look ready. I think Kobe needs to take Batum's minutes eventually. Jordan Miller looked good out there tonight. Played within the offense and played a supporting role like he's supposed to when he was on the floor with our main guys/starters. I think the coaching staff sees something in Flowers. He's starting to turn into something and his defense is excellent.

The Denver loss is blamed on transition defense and offensive spacing

they definitely are very deep and that is even without Beal thus far. However, I am concerned that they have few guys who can beat people off the dribble. Too many jump shooters or spot up guys

Just a pre-season game. I think we'll see the offensive patterns more diverse as time goes on, also depends on match ups.
Also really not a bad thing to be skilled in mid-range when you need that in the playoffs as the paint gets more limited in the playoffs.. obviously still want to have the ability to score in the paint.
Zubac, Kawhi, Beal, Collins will be especially important there + Harden and Paul as available (yep its not 2021 and back anymore). Guys like DJJ, Dunn, Bogi, Lopez are going to chip in here and there.

Collins looks good on offense so far but looked a little lost on defense in yesterday's game against the Nuggets.
Lopez and Paul both look good in their backup roles. Looks like both signings will pay off.
Miller looks more confident but I'm guessing he will be glued to the bench once regular season starts.

Harden out of the pick and roll can get two on the ball to make plays. Kahwi can also get two on the ball when attacking, but he doesn't put rim or foul pressure the same way as he used to.
Beal is not as bad as he's being made to be by some, and can actually put some rim and foul pressure on the opposition.
Assuming Harden doesn't have a steep decline, there are a few guys who can put rim and foul pressure on the opposition.
Zubac and Collins will also put some rim pressure as roll men and cutters
In addition, Zubac and Lopez will help as backup options to use in the post offensively, and that should help. CP will make the right passes and get guys to spots, but he can't get past guys or draw two to the ball much anymore.
