Clippers have done well to be at .500 without Kawhi.

Paul George has played well but not great. Only 42% from the field 32% from three 52.8% TS%.

Their center rotation sucks. Zubac is a 3rd stringer pretending to be a starter. Ibaka continues to age fast. Their PG rotation is Reggie Jackson (49% TS%) and Eric Bledsoe (51.8% TS%); both of whom are me-first PGs.

Kennard and Mann have done well for them. Marcus Morris is okay but his usual selfish self. Nic Batum is an old old 33yo but passable.

Just not that talented a team. Yet they are .500.
Coaching might have something to do with it - they're playing like an average team thanks to their elite defence (-3.3 rDRTG!) with Bledsoe and Zubac as their best defenders available right now.

All that being said, if we don't beat them tonight missing George it will be equally as bad a loss as the minnesota game.

Pritchard, only 11 minutes a game. SMH.

One of the best shooters in the entire league. What a joke leaving him on the bench. Luckily Covid has made them play him

Nice to have Pritchard take an easy shot to get us into rhythm a bit

Fast PP is playing super well, answering whenever we go on a scoring drought

Pritchard and Bane would've been a nice backcourt. :'(
