Re: LA Clippers is it the coach ?
I've always thought Ty was underrated, coaching in Lebron's shadow. When the Cavs fired their coach during the 2015-2016 and brought in Lue, everything changed for them. And of course he coached rings around Casey. I was genuinely surprised the Clippers waited so long to make the obvious decision and hire him.

Powell is averaging 24 points on 49/45 percent shooting... we don't have anyone that efficient offensively...

Re: LA Clippers is it the coach ?
I think they had no turnover on that roster other than pg leaving. They play as a team and have a few vets and players in their prime. Harden. Mann. Norm. Zubac. Tatum. Coffey. Dunn.
Obv. Coach is good too but the team has a lot of role players in their prime 26-29 yo. They should do well.

Orlando's coach is COY though.
Ya, Norman Powell is way more efficient than Paul George.
They have dead money in PJ Tucker, let's boost them up.

Re: LA Clippers is it the coach ?
Lue def deserves credit but they're a veteran team with a decent amount of depth and good defense. Harden still has great playmaking chops even if his scoring efficiency isn't what it once was and Norm is playing like an all star like others have said. Zubes is a fine C and the rest of the guys know their role.
I'll be interested to see how they look if/when Kawhi returns for however long he'll be able to play.

jazz raptors are on track for franchise worst seasons yet they have much more talent on paper. you can't tell me harden chucking shots, hyland and powell are a winning core.
Harden is a MVP, ALL NBA, Hall of Famer.
he's worse than he was in philly where he was considered the weakest link on a 2nd round exit team that featured harris, maxey,, embiid. prime harden in houston was gone by 2021. it's 2025 now
for the last 5 years
herro, adebayo, butler >>>>>> powell, ubac, harden. it's crasy what the clippers are doing with their roster.

Every time Powell has been given a bigger role he’s produced… look at his numbers the past few years in the league…
There was a point in time wher I kept saying the raptor should make Powell an offensive focal point to take the load off of siakam and people thought it was a stupid idea because he was only putting up the numbers he was because he was a role player… now he’s a feature player on the clips and putting up elite efficiency on more shots
