We also face the Kings twice in the near future. I think it's time Yabu pays back some of that free money he's been given his entire career and bounces Fox for a nice 2 week ankle sprain.

Yes he was. I don't think a lot of people realize how bad he was because he was masked by some talented players.

Welcome to the world of Zach Collins...he gets robbed of 1 or 2 a game.

Shai is a nice player. He's not great at setting up teammates yet, but that'll probably come. He has some good defensive instincts and length. I'd like to see him be a little more aggressive scoring...that'd open up his teammates some.
They don't care about non superstars I guess! Yea, SGA shows amazing vision at times, then other times he just makes boneheaded passes. That aspect can likely be chalked up to just learning how to handle the physicality and speed of the NBA. You gotta admit his footwork and pace is amazing for a rook though! That hesitation blow by dunk, as well as earlier post spin he put on Dame (called that one an offensive foul) is NOT normal for a rookie guard. It's very much a throwback to the guards of the 90s like Penny and Kobe.

He doesn't remind me of either Penny or Kobe, but you are right, he has a "pace" about him that belies his age. Once he gets a bit more experience that will really come in handy setting up teammates. He seems to be a heady player, despite some rookie adjustment mistakes.

Honestly, I like this Clippers team about 1000x more than the CP3/Blake version. It feels more like a "team" concept.
I meant purely from a footwork standpoint. I could only dream he'd have the same total package as those two.

After 20 years of frustration, and "why do I love this team so much?" this is fun.

BTW the Bucks have won 5/7 from the Warriors. LOL
