That could be a blessing in disguise. I know Oubre attacks the rim and plays great but without him it means more shots for Ayton, Booker, Cam, Bridges.

Kelly is not the difference between a win and a loss.
If they bring in Johnson to start, allow Rubio to control the ball, and feed Ayton in and around the paint, then the defense will potentially sag to help Zubac. This will open up Johnson and Booker.
Give Johnson the green light to shoot when open and/or fake shot and drive and there's the potential to catch their defense on the back foot.
Good game to test ourselves.
You are both looking at this the wrong way.
Who the heck is gonna defend Kawhi and George now? Before we could’ve put Bridges on Kawhi and Oubre on George.
Now we have to put...Cam Johnson on George??? George has more muscles and athleticism in his left pinky finger than Cam has in his whole body. George probably lifts like triple whatever Cam does based on both guys physiques.
Not a knock on Cam cause his job isn’t to be a shut down defender, it’s to be a role player strict 3pt shooter. But not having Oubre puts us in a really bad position.
Good news is that this isn’t like a winnable that just became attainable. Clippers are finally healthy and just beat Memphis by like 40 or something. We probably weren’t going to beat them to begin with but at least we had a chance to make it competitive with Oubre.
