KP literally disrupting everything the Clippers do on the defensive end. Good think we had him guard the perimeter 90 percent of the time in NY

We sure Clips are going to make the playoffs? PG isn't coming back until at least Dec.

Mavs look surprisingly good so far, KP already impacting team on defense blocking everyone under the rim.

Clippers look horrible without Bev/Lou to get in the middle of the lane in the pnr.

The difference in the pressure Doncic and Kawhi put on defenses with their approach and skill is massive. Doncic might already be better offensively.

Raptors will end up with a better regular season record than the Clips.

Doncic is seriously impressive. He reminds me a lot Harden in his early Rockets days.

I could see the Mavs snagging the 8th seed. They could be a tough out too.

That KP putback though. He physically looks incredible and now looks strong enough to rebound. If he's rebounding, forget it, he'll dominate.

I really thought they should have gone harder in acquiring Dwight. Don’t know what the deal with Noah was but he would have been a solid pickup as well.

Biggest surprise for clips this preseason has been Shamet. He looks garbage.

Yet doc was hyping him as Curry lite.

Clippers are going to need Kawhi and Lou Williams to have good scoring games to compete.

Kleber and Porzingis look like one of the best defensive big combinations in the league. KPs length and shot blocking inside combined with Maxis switching and perimeter defense. So far there wasn´t a single play where a Clippers guard/wing was able to get by Maxi.

If Kleber can continue to shoot 35% + from 3 next season is contract is a steal for the Mavs.
