I don’t know what that play call was? lol both sequences were crap. They basically force fed him.

Not good couldn’t get any lift on his legs. I don’t think he jumped if at all during the game. It is sad

Read on Twitter


Still don’t get why he played in the Olympics that summer…looked like he needed surgery at that point

They're clearly bringing him along slowly and don't really gaf about October. I imagine he'll play 45 regular season games and he'll ramp up minutes as the season progresses. If they can get him at 80% come playoffs they're a very scary team in a wide open East.

Opening-night games are often a bit weird, but Clippers might be ass.
