The big takeaways are:

• Clippers are slow an unathletic, this is a huge defensive disadvantage against most up and coming teams in the NBA (incl. Pelicans)
• Kawhi Leonard has as much lift on his legs right now as prime Timofey Mozgov
• Russell Westbrook should NET 0 (zero) playing minutes on this team.
• Zubac has swiftly transitioned into the worst starting center in the league. Pretty big downfall, he was legitimately good 18 months ago.
• Ty Lue is terrible and has to go.

It’s the benefit of his game and the fact that he weighs absolutely nothing.

Extra weight destroys knees at that age. KD has the perfect game to still drop 30 with a grey beard.

The new Kawhi.

He is. Harden is a better passer and a good shooter.

Westbrook is not good enough on defense to make a case for him being on that lineup. The only way he should stay on the floor is with 4 other players that can shoot.

About as obvious as it gets. Apparently everyone on that coaching staff is blind.

Does it take a Nobel Prize laureate to understand that Harden and Westbrook should not be one second of time together on the basketball court on the same team?

P.S: I think Harden is fine on the offensive. A huge improvement from Powell/any of the 3&D guys. His defense is spectacularly poor though. Still, that’s not the main reason for the shitshow.

The best Clippers lineups are the ones with PG/Kawhi/Mann + Batum/Covington. Mann can chase around people on the defensive end and spot up, as do the others. Zubac has regressed a bit lately.

Both Kawhi and Harden play slow. Pace is needed in today’s NBA.

Seriously. If he starts Harden with Westbrook again after how those two games looked then he is confirmed a basketball terrorist.
