John Wall's hasn't even kicked in yet; let that sink in. Westbrick's is definitely second though.
Bledsoe, their third best player, can't shoot and they lacked play making in general. Mirotic was also fresh off injury and not in peak form. Antetokounmpo wasn't quite ready/suited.‘17-‘18 Duds?
Let’s just look at last season:
-Raptors + Bucks with Brogdon/Mirotic were just as deep & more complete
-Duds/Sixers lacked depth but they were loaded with top end talent which is what matters most in the postseason
If you look at this season, the Heat are also a more complete team with the resurgence of Dragic/Crowder & the Celtics with Hayward have more top end talent. The Clippers are at best the ‘15-‘16 Duds sans Draymond.
Lets’s not forget how the Celtics with Kyrie were supposed to be the second coming of the Duds“on paper”
Davis literally gets more lobs, PnP jumpers & transition buckets via leak-outs than any elite player in the league. The only time Kawhi gets easy buckets is on occasional spot-ups or pick 6s. Let’s not act like guarding Tucker/Gabriel is comparable to Luka/Murray while being single covered by those midgets the majority of the game.
Work smarter, not harder. If he can led the team to a 10 point win as opposed to a 25 point blowout, what’s the difference?
'20 Heat and Celtics are more complete? You've lost it.
'19 Celtics were bad chemistry waiting to happen, plus they lacked someone capable of being the best player on a championship team.
Lowe: "But Davis still has to create a lot of tough one-on-one buckets" https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/pag...owry-attacking
Bledsoe was at best their 4th best player & sometimes 5th depending on Brook Lopez’s shooting. George Hill was playing lights out that Bledsoe was actually expendable especially with Brogdon being the secondary playmaker & it was Giannis that came up small when it mattered.Bledsoe, their third best player, can't shoot and they lacked play making in general. Mirotic was also fresh off injury and not in peak form. Antetokounmpo wasn't quite ready/suited.
So, Mirotic wasn’t in peak form but Lemon Pepper Lou & Harrell are killin it
76ers were a slapped together, ill-fitting outfit, that had played less than 10 games together. Their best player was also sick/battling a knee issue.
Yeah that “ill fitted” team would have swept the Raptors if it wasn’t for Kawhi. Clipper literally have played less game with their full rotation available than the Sixers after the Butler trade.
Besides, Embiid wasn’t injured....he just had Gasolitius just like he did this season when he finished with ZERO points
Warriors were paper thin.
It’s unfortunate that a starting lineup with 4 LEGIT All-NBA players only had guys like Iggy/Looney coming off the bench b/c Cousins got injured
'20 Heat and Celtics are more complete? You've lost it.
Beverley/Morris/Lou are basically poor man’s Smart/Brown/Kemba & the Heat have Bam which allows them to roll out legit 2-way players at every position.
Clippers had Lemon Pepper Lou fiasco, Harrell posting suicide notes, Playoff P dealing with mental issues, Marcus Morris doing Marcus Morris things along with Beverley then piled on to it by signing Reggie Cancer. The team has Jail Blazers vibe to it.'19 Celtics were bad chemistry waiting to happen, plus they lacked someone capable of being the best player on a championship team.
A “lot” for Davis is still less than half his shots compared to over 80% for Kawhi.

Saw that. Bron's reaction
Westbrick is trending
Debatable, but fine.

The difference is, the Clippers don't need Williams or Harrel to be in peak form. They don't need anyone to be, with the possible exception of S bag vs the Lakers.
More spin. Who said they didn't need S bag? The Clippers, like the Raptors last season, don't need a bunch of games to find rhythm because of the amount of creation, shooting and defense they have. Everything is relatively easy when you have that.
Apparently you didn't watch the Finals. Durant played 12 minutes, Thompson missed nearly 1.5 games, Iguodala and Looney were playing injured (not hurt) and Cousins wasn't ready. In the end, they were reduced to Curry, Green and fringe NBA players.
The Heat lack high end talent.
At least the Clippers have a more clear pecking order and veteran team than the Celtics did.
Whatever, Davis has outplayed S bag to this point. Deal with it.
At least Russ was wearing his most likely future attire in that interview.
there were some great memes this weekend.
Lmao D'Antoni jumping ship now.
When Pop goes to coach KD.
