What are your thoughts on the game coming up versus the Memphis Grizzlies? What are the Clippers keys to get a win? Which opposing player(s) should LA focus the D on? Will the game be very high-scoring or first to 100 gets the W? Are there any injury/player availability updates?
This team scares me. Even when not at full strength, they are very good due to their depth but when Ja is healthy, they are championship material
Ja is not playing?
Highlights:
we win 2/3 if it means anything...
Missed the game, but good to see Kawhi and Dunn do well. Dunn able to score some points definitely helped. Too few shots for Zu though
In fact Dunn was the X factor, he injected energy into the team. If I recall correctly he had a sequence of three offensive rebounds in a row in the same play.
Zu was limited, I think it's because they didn't send him more plays to the low post this time, since he had a bigger and heavier guard than him, I think the focus that the coaching staff gave to the offense was to attack Kennard, plus Zu was filled with fouls at the beginning of the game.
I was pleased to see another 3-point threat with Bogdan, when Simmons is ready I wonder what his role will be on the team, I think it will be a combination of Center who can dribble and pass the ball. In training he is with Zu practicing the hooks and floaters near the rim, if he masters that hook like Zu it will be useful given that his versatility will be greater especially when Lu plays small ball, he will put Simmons and Batum.
It's a shame Mills is only playing garbage time. I haven't seen him play in a while and maybe he's not as effective as before, but I liked watching him. A fast point guard with an effective 3-point shot. I hope he has a limited role but they can take advantage of him at some point. Just as youth is important, so is veteran status in the locker room. When things get complicated, the veterans are the voice that makes sure everything is put in the right measure.
