imo, the time for overpanicking or over stressing about clippers basketball has passed. As far as the regular season is concerned. Lets just enjoy these last couple of games then clap the mavs in the first round. We can overanalyze when we get into the playoffs.

On an individual level, Zu will find out where he stands facing up with a real NBA center in Nurkic. I think he'll do OK. Even if he loses the matchup, he's on our roster to stand up to these 7-footers. All Zu has to do is hang in there.
Doc is giving Shamet a lot of play. 27 minutes vs the Mavs and an unimpressive 5 points and 3 assists, but once again Sham was a plus/minus phenomenon, tying Kawhi for a team-best plus+22.
And Marcus Sr is looking finally up to speed--plus+20 vs the Mavs. He's here to be the "glue guy" for the starting 5.
Lou and Trezz are a proven force. Kawhi and PG are NBA gods. Pat Bev is an agent of chaos and the heart of our team. He could go 0-10 from the field and still win us the game.
That's 5.
Zu, Sham, Marcus. We need 2 out of 3 to come through to win this thing.
