Lakers gave away Zu for Mike Muscala. That trade isn't talked about enough

Zubac starting to gain that killer instinct. He still drops the ball / passes sometimes and brings the ball down instead of keeps it up high which allows guards to steal the ball, but he has improved year over year.

Dunn and Derrick Jones Jr are sneaky good additions for the Clips

Harden, Zu, Powell, and Dunn are a solid core. Batum is a solid vet. Jones Jr and Coffey are decent defenders but shouldn’t be relied on for setting up any plays honestly. The weakness is really backup center and of course KPJ. No backup guard other than Powell but he’s the bonafide scoring small forward and should work with Harden.

And of course it lines up with Mann and and KPJ playing like trash. Jordan Miller needs to soak their minutes up.

KPJ looked good in pre season. If he can start to score 10 pts plus per game , that would be huge. Keep in mind Clippers are integrating new players :
- KPJ
- Dunn
- Jones Jr
- Kai Jones
- playing with out Paul George

This is a horrible game


With 4 seconds left and no timeouts, what else are you going to do?

I would hit 1, and then take my chances on the foul game. You can get the ball back with 4 seconds to go and try and do something.
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

I did not watch the game.

Did Green continue to play after Curry went out?

For as bad as Pelinka was post Bubble, Magic was def worse..even tho he was crucial in recruiting LeBron and will always be a made man here. Lonzo over Tatum is brutal too but i mean he projected as a Jason Kidd clone so i cant blame him too much

They might literally have five guys who are capable of making all-NBA defense in Caruso, Dort, J-Dub, SGA and Cason. The fact that I'm not including Chet's switchability and rim protection is hilarious/scary.


And they don't even have Hartenstein yet. Unbelievable team defensively.

Curry went out with 7:55 left in the game and the Warriors down 10. Draymond never came back into the ball game.

This might be the best game of his career so far. He was doing everything at a high level.
