Around the NBA streets Vol. 5: ONE MORE TIME

[IggieCC]

Clippers, just like Lakers with AD, gave up their future for PG13. I don't know what they can do to make the team any better. They can't probably resign guys like Morris and Reggie Jackson. Lou will be 34 and he's a tiny man. Pat Bev doesn't seem like he can stay healthy. Who wants PG for 30 mil per year in pandemic? They probably have no choice but to give it another go and that's hardly the end of the world as long as Kawhi

If I were the Clippers I'd be kind of pissed at Doc. He hasn't managed to get Kawhi and PG playing in unison all year. Unless it was a result of injury woes I'd be really concerned with why he hasn't got them firing on all cylinders. Seemed like a no brainer. How you have Beverly, PG, Kawhi, Morris and Harrell as your go to lineup and you aren't completely locking teams up makes me think he's not doing a good job getting the most out of his guys.

To be honest outside of his stint with the Boston big 3 he really hasn't been that impressive. His teams with the Clippers in the early days even underachieved Paul, Griffin, Redick, Jordan, Crawford as their core with notable additions like Hedo Türkoğlu, Paul Pierce, Darren Collison, Matt Barnes, Austin Rivers, Jeff Green and Luc Mbah a Moute over those years.

Looking back I feel like Doc gets too much credit as a coach. He's a decent regular season coach but when it comes to the playoffs he seems to fall off.

I agree that he's a bit overrated. Tail end of Prime KG, PP, Ray Allen and only one ring to show for it. That was 2008? His "championship coach" label has to be wearing off.

Denver and Utah need to consolidate and become Seattle Super Sonics and stop wasting everyone's time is what Bish's saying Lifer smh

No.

I would not wish living in Seattle on anyone.

Chaz looked inviting in the ads.

Someone please educate me.....

Why would Miami want VO over say VanVleet? how much value do either have over just resigning Goran?

I am convinced now, the Heat should make a move for Dennis Schroder.

I'm telling you whatever it is that you need in the playoffs James Harden doesn't have it. As soon as adversity rears its head Harden takes his foot off the gas. He put up numbers in this game but in the end had costly turnovers, missed shots and didn't get the ball in key possessions.

Would mean letting Goran go. Don't really see the point - they're basically a wash.

He does expire in 2021 offseason though, so there's that.

I do not see Schroder as a star. However, I think he will be a great fit and a big time starting role playing point. I think he is ready for a big time role and will not cost a lot.

Trust the process I keep telling you guys

he's worse than usual, he's regressed

DENNIS
SCHRODER oof

Lost in PG shenanigan is how insane of a scorer Lou Wil is. That guy, when in the zone, seems to hit everything.

But I've noticed that whenever he's on a scoring barrage Clippers are usually barely keeping the game close and hardly pulling away. He must be coughing up close to equal amount on the other end. Otherwise it makes no sense for Clippers to struggle this much so often

If Clips get knocked out in first round, do they enter desperation mode to get some results? Or do they just stick with what they got and give it another go next year?

I don't know. Do I look like Clippers to you? Ask that annoying California guy who goes to Clippers game sometimes because he can't afford Lakers games.

play-awful P > playoff Opie

Yeah now I'm starting to understand why he's not as valuable as his stats indicate. Doc brings in Lou and Trez together and they almost always help Mavs make a come back.

I dunno I still think Clippers will take this in 6 or 7 though.

montrezl has been worse than usual, I don't remember if he had covid or not, but he looks out of shape

yeah, I say clippers in 7 at this point

He was out of the bubble the entire time to be with his dying grandmother (who raised him) or something like that. he's clearly not in the game shape yet. I remember him being a big nuisance on boards and attacking the rim usually.

Pretty much the story of Clippers entire szn though. just out of sorts with people in and out and then Playawful P happened like a clockwork

[IggieCC]

Where do Portland go from here? They don't defend well enough to make it out of 1st round as currently built.
