How bad is your "superteam" if you lose at home to the 1-8 Grizzlies?

Five losses in a row for the Clippers. Paul George and Kawi Leonard are great at being tank commanders, they suck at basketball and they are losing players.
Sorry I'm just repeating what the Smart haters taught me after the Grizzlies lost 5 in a row earlier in the season.

Smart got lucky.
He clearly lost the ball.
The turnovers are really high for Smart right now.
Even with the Cs he didn't average that many turnovers.

Probably a decent chunk of the reason his net rating is higher.

I've grown to respect Jokic as a defender despite his obvious physical limitations. I think he's an underrated rim deterrent and a really good positional defender with active hands. Curry tries, I give him that much.

It's Jrue they should've gone after harder. Or maybe Blazers just wasn't interested with whatever they're offering? I dunno. But Holiday would've been a perfect fit for them.

No way the Clips were going to beat the offer of the Celtics for Jrue.

did they say the timeline yet?
BTW I had a broken rib.. every single breath was painful and even the slightest movement in bed was agony. Though I didn't use Painkillers as good as the Hospital probably.

Report just said he's out for a significant amount of time.
But it's not season ending.

Maxey turning into a top 10 player is not good for Boston's championship window.
