I have an irrational dislike for Reggie Jackson. He just pisses me off for some reason.

I feel like Marcus Morris has to have one of the highest corner 3pt % in the league. Absolutely money from there.

But the Clippers should be embarrassed that they're getting worked by guys like Jalen Harris and Freddie Gillespie, if they really think of themselves as contenders (and running almost a full squad minus Ibaka).

The little floater off of his drive seems to be a new wrinkle that Pascal has added lately. He's done that shot from the post and off of a spin or turnaround before, but I've rarely seen him use it off a straight drive. If he can become consistent with that, it'll make his drive game a lot more dangerous, because the defence's usual strategy against him of packing the paint and having a couple of guys meet him at the rim won't work.

Funny because I remember our chip season he was scoring ALOT of 5 to 6 footers that often didnt look like they would go in but surprised me in his consistency to sink them. The chip-clincher against draymond being a prime example. It's like that part of his game is making a comeback.

Clippers are doing nothing in the playoffs. The West could be interesting if Bron isn’t healthy.

I feel that way about Boogie Cousins - really detest that whiney scowl look he has whenever ANYTHING doesn't go his way.

I can't see them winning it all. I don't think the organization has the culture in place to win it all.

so the clippers are basically going to rely on kawhi to bail them out every playoff game again.

Playoff Rondo was a great pickup for them though.

it's simple really

1. tampa so only team playing on the road all year
2. found a groove before covid hit
3. trade deadline
4. no center
5. birch arrives but we start sitting guys

we are a good team that can easily be back in the top 4 next season...but this lost season in tampa may be the end of kyle in toronto which will hurt the talent level on the roster.

If Birch were on the roster at the start of the season...this team might be top 5 in the East...

You can not really think Birch is worth 11 wins.

11 is a stretch on Birch alone. But you could certainly see how the team could be 11 wins better if you consider other factors.
1) We got hammered by Covid more than the average team (that is not to say there were others that got hit hard as well).
2) The Tampa Factor had to cost us some wins.
3) This was going to be an offseason because of the Giannis strategy that we were going to lose pieces. We should add a bit this offseason given that we have more flexibility.

Playoff Paul / PG13% is back.

Culture is overrated. You think the Cavs had good culture when lebron was winning there?

Players on the court determine how things go. It's still TBD whether the Clippers have the right chemistry and skill set to win it all.

Good! Pascal taking it right through PG13%
