This other guy whom I've never heard of LOL 3.4 PG.
Not movers and shakers  . Ibaka a sneaky GREAT acquisition injured, old, and now gone. Title dream at lowest point in Kawhi era, likely gone with Warriors and Suns the way they are. So glad Lakers got the bubble title because the window now not just closed, but airtight.

All the Clippers care about at this point is beating the Lakers in the playin game. Balmer is likely already offering bonuses if they can bounce the Lakers.
Clippers “championship” is the battle with big brother. |

They have taller wing players who play D and know their role. They have a team full of players who know their role and don't have egos. The scoring is gonna be there, collectively. Some thing like we had in 19/20. |

Sure this is why every title contender is rushing to add 3 ppg "specialists." 😊 And the role player of role players, Ivaca Zubac, will lead the troup to a triumphant return to NBA finals.

Clippers miss playoffs too.
Yet their non title winning coach (for them) will stay on.
Willie outcoached Ty, at least if Ty was Laker coach this would be the narrative.
In 3 years Paul George and Kawhi have only had 1 healthy playoffs.
In 3 years AD and Lebron have had 1 healthy playoffs seasons.
Key difference? When Bron and AD were healthy. They won a ring.
The Clips also slowly quietly stayed stable around their two stars and kept trying to give the team some quality role players.
We kept trying to make massive changes and penny pinched on assistants for Vogel and let guys like Caruso walk for $ savings.
Big picture though, dunno if it’s just because this is the Lakers, but the records show Lakers win a title then break down, clippers show they broke down and missed the playoffs without even a title to show for it.
I just wish we didn’t penny pinch and make these massive changes that weren’t really needed. But on the bright side, we could have end up with zero
titles like and missed the playoffs due to injuries to the stars like Clips. |

Worst the Clippers only had to win one game to stay in, and had to lose two to be out. They lost two 
The Lakers even have a better play-in record than the Clippers.

Just imagine Vogel AD Bron in that situation. The amount of criticism these guys got after wining a title is insane. The clips couldn’t stay healthy either and Lue lost 2 play in games.
Anyway, at least we were fortunate enough despite our FOs poor management of assets to have AD/Bron/Vogel help lead the Lakers to a title. Titles aren’t easy.
My morning coffee tastes so much better today lol |

Leave it to our prominent ex-Lakers to take the Clippers out. Once a Laker, always a laker.
Good job DLo, BI and Nance Jr! Absolutely huge. I do feel bad for Zu. Those guys were a tight group at one point and DLo-BI-Brown-Nance-Zu started for us in the 2016 summer league. I imagine they are still close. |

Clippers weren’t going anywhere without Leonard and George. Next year if those guys are healthy they’ll be west favs. Lakers will be fighting for another play in game.

both fates are up to Kawhi and AD, Kawhi is not more durable or healthier than AD so we'll see |

Spurs tried to tell everyone Kawai leg was never going to be right. That’s why he was gone
Unlike AD kl issue is degenerative. AD is just soft. |

| It’s all about Kawhi … $42 million, $45 million, $48 million next three years. Wonder how healthy he can stay during that time. Pretty much everything riding on him. I picture severe load management to get him to the playoffs. They should play him every other game next year. |

He's pulling the same (bleep) he did with the Spurs.
Just admit you have a degenerative issue and retire. Dude is out there stealing franchise's money. Not that I care though |

9-73
60-22
57-15
52-20
0-82
In the past 5 seasons, Kawhi has played in 178 games and has missed 212 games. As a Clipper, he's played in 109 and missed 117.
In his first 6 seasons, he missed 85 games (14/season), so the guy was never an iron man.
He's a great talent when healthy, but for his career he misses 27 games per season. If the Clippers get 50 games out of him, I'd be stunned.

Anthony Davis also hasn’t played in 50 percent of his games last two years.

Which is a ginormous concern, as well, but he (as of yet) has not been diagnosed with a degenrative condition that will only continue to deteriorate.

The Clippers should cut their losses and trade Kawhi. I’d target a large expiring, a couple firsts, and a project player.
