Luka can’t shoot 3’s or FT’s. Funnel him into Rudy. His supporting cast is trash. We will own the boards and they can’t stop Donovan.

Well Luka can 1000% shoot 3's, but look. They have zero hope of stopping us. They won't be able to put pressure on the rim on offense. We should beat them comfortably.

If you’re the Clippers and you lose in the first round, don’t you blow this team up?

What then though? Didn't they trade every pick and every young talent imaginable to get PG(and by extension Kawhi)? They can't trade Kawhi as he can leave, and I don't think anyone is taking PG's contract.

Don’t disagree. But at this point… is his hammy just going to continue to flare up? I’d like more info on this. Was it stiff? A little sore? Will a week off get it back to what it was earlier in this series? Or will he need a month off to get it back to what it was earlier in this series?

Reports are that with time off potentially coming up they decided to pull the plug tonight when it got sore after he initially tried playing through it.

I think this case is precautionary and he should be fine when Round 2 starts. But it flaring up again in the future is a concern, yes.

He is shooting it exceptionally well from 3 this series but he’s a career 33% shooter from 3. That’s not great.

Good questions. So do they keep bringing this same team back over and over?

Even worse. They keep bringing back the players who failed this year, but feel the pressure to trade whatever meager assets they have for washed up stars. So expect a Zubac+pick for Millsap trade, or a bought-out K. Love going there.

Mostly off-the-dribble, from >5 feet behind the arc, and/or contested, but sure, he can’t shoot.

Which is kinda why I’m okay playing him. He gets that shot against anyone... he either makes a bunch and they win or they lose. I think even if he is having a good night the hydra could give them enough problems that they lose on a good Luka night. Just not enough creators imo. .. and their defense is rough.

Clips because they have so many good perimeter defenders and have good shooters I worry they would really clog the hydra and we might not be able to stop them.

Both teams are good and could present problems that are tough to solve.
