Good sign we don't seem to miss Beal

Dunn, O'Neale, Allen get his shots and they're mostly quality 3 pointers

Durant driving into traffic at 37 is not an efficient play would like to see more less dribble 3s which would open up the drive

Yeah it's not like this team is playing at their best right now. KD can still clean up those TOs. Book had a stretches of shooting highly contested 3, passing in KD's feet for a TO, allowing O rebound after not boxing out. Beal has missed two games. Allen and Nurk look worse this season. Players are still adjusting to their roles in a new system. As the season progresses I hope we see a lot less 20 point deficits.

Well, given our start to the game, it doesn't help the bring Beal off the bench argument. Sure, we pulled out the victory, but the Clips are not that great of a team, and a team that just lost to Portland. They are missing their best player, and are not even projected to be a top 8 team with him.

One thing I noticed in the game is we were lucky Norman Powell cooled off. I think Book had something to do with that. He was hitting everything, and then Book inadvertently hit him in the face and he had to go to the locker room and after that I don't think he hit another shot.

That's been my view as well. Results have been pretty split so far.
