And we don't need 100% health, we're deeper than that. We do need another big though for insurance, a Joachim Noah or someone like that who will hopefully play no more than 10 MPG. So I guess that is missing.
This team has a very good chance of maintaining its overall health because of our depth.
Way too early to say that, and even then, there are rare teams and seasons where we can say that. There's still a lot of season to play, some players make unexpected strides. For example, who was predicting the 67 win Warriors and Draymond becoming a DPOY level guy and top big man playmaker? Most people agreed with Kerr's original plan of starting Lee over him even.
So let's see how the Clippers and opponents look half way through the season before even contemplating that barring health problems, this team can't be beat in a 7 game series. It's way too presumptuous.

He is old and beat up but he won’t be intimidated or make really dumb plays. He can also see the court rather well important on a team that has so many weapons. He is a much slower defender now than he was but he knows his spot and how to play.

But can Noah do anything Zubac can't? Not being able to keep up with the faster lineups is the reason he can't get 30 mpg. Otherwise he can handle whatever minutes you'd give to Slowa Noah.

Not really I mean he really just would be a body that won’t hurt you and has enough poise to play in bigger moments. A poor mans Chandler with maybe a little more left in the tank.... maybe.

I think they just need to watch a lot of film of the last few games, and someone needs to point out all the defensive lapses. Gave up wayyyyy too many open looks at the 3pt line. Guys need to be disciplined and not get pulled away from their man so easily.

We made a mistake allowing the Lakers to get him. It was a bad spot for us to see him land if he was a new and improved Dwight as the reports were indicating.
I think he wanted to go to Lakers regardless. I don't think he was coming here with tbe Lakers being on the table.clipperlover wrote:playaloc916 wrote:Man, Dwight has looked great so far... plays within his role in limited minutes... so far no locker room issues...
