Not that I'm complaining but is it just me or has this month been nothing but back to backs?

Assuming Clippers are all healthy, who will guard Kat? Kawhi maybe, Batum sometimes. I think Zubac might have trouble guarding Kat at the three point line, but Kat will have trouble guarding him in the post because he's having a great season. Maybe a Most Improved candidate though I haven't heard any talk on that. We'll need Mitch against him.

OG can guard Harden or Kawhi but not both.

Just checked, Clips lost by 2 to OKC, on Sunday. Kawhi played 40 minutes, 25 pts. They seem to be all healthy , rested, 8-2 in their last 10, and only half game behind GSW for 6th place. So they are playing for something. Won't be an easy game.

Batum on KAT
Zubac on Hart, cheating into the paint
Kawhi on Bridges

Knicks definitely losing

Completely absurd the NBA schedules all of these back to backs in the weeks leading up to the playoffs as if guys aren't already fatigued from the grueling 82 game schedule.

The Clippers are going to shutdown Kolek the way the Miami Heat shutdown Jeremy Lin.

We are favored to lose. But it’s not entirely hopeless. Also Mitch should play and he might be able to help against Zubac because that guy has been very good this year

Looking back from the end of the Ewing era until now is brutally painful. We have had some of the worst rosters in the NBA for most of 20 years. I love the current roster! :lol:

kolek has 0 turnovers in his last 2. i trust that he'll protect the rock and get it to the right man if he's overwhelmed. not sure what good that'd do us from a competitive standpoint, but lin was playing as an offensive lead when he was shut down. different role

Well not to take anything away from that but it was the wizards and mavericks who basically don’t attempt to play any defense. So it will be good to see him perform against a competitive team and hopefully we get the same type of performance

no doubt i'm just saying his role as a bench creator is less of an all or nothing gambit than being the lead scoring point guard in a d'antoni offense if he ends up getting swarmed
