Avery (6'2") vs Beverly (6'1") or Beverly (6'1")
Green (6'6") vs Shamet (6'5") or Kawhi (6'7")
LBJ (6'8") vs Kawhi (6' 7") or PG (6'9")
AD (6'10") vs PG (6'9") or Harrell (6'8")

Defense isn't just about height.
George, Kawhi and Beverly all got votes for DPoY last season. |

I agree def is about stops. As good a def PG,KL and Beverly are they will have a hard time stopping BC or AD and need to double because of there length and size. I will give you Green or Avery and maybe even LBJ can be stop by PG/KL/Bervery, but who cares. I believe this is a copy cat league, and NO proved before that the two great bigs can be a tough matchup for any team. LAL is know for there dominant bigs, I see league getting back to inside then out again if somebody shows its successful. I can see LAL doing that. |

No doubt the Clippers are scary on defense, but Avery and Green up front with AD and McGee protecting inside is not too shaby. Avery, Cousins, LBJ are going into this season healthy and extra motivated. Kuz is putting in the work to become a better defender.
I think this team gels sooner than later. We have a group of smart vets who can figure things out making it easier for the coaching staff to get this team to championship level.
No Luke, no developing youths, no crappy free throw %, no Magic.
I've got us favorites to win it all and tie the Celtics for # of banners.

Yup, when you're tall and you know how to use that height advantage it makes a significant difference even against elite defenders.. If Boogie gets even close to healthy, you cant double team anyone either or else you leave an elite player open. I don't think PG or Kawhi is going to come anywhere close to stopping Lebron either, they will def. make it a bit more difficult for him but they aren't doing anything on there own without some help defense and once that comes into play good luck if that help defender leaves AD or Boogie. If the Clippers have to help on Boogie though that's a pretty massive problem for them since he's the third option.
I really hope the Clips don't pull off getting any solid defensive bigs because right now we have a pretty huge advantage in the front court to say the least. |

Yeah, after his post, I started looking online for any new tweets/articles saying we were bringing him back. Didn't find any.

Right. All we need with Bron and Davis is an all star point guard who can dustribute tge ball and shoots well too.
Damn... with Bron and Davis, you can live with two other good players added to the team and compete for a championship. |
If you know of any available for a few mil, you should call the FO immediately. |
Yes and people keep forgetting about Kuzma. Remember he averaged 18.5 pats last year and I believe he scored 44 pts in 3 quarters one time it was a Laker record? |
44pts in 3 quarters is definitely not a record. I mean Kobe holds all those records. |
