What does "Let Luka get 50!" look like, though?

He's already taking 27 or 28 shots a night, getting 35 points shooting 50+/40+ splits.

Their best bet might be hack-a-Luka and make him win games at the free throw line because he's shooting everything else into an ocean right now.

gotta get zubac and serge off the floor for one. No more trash doubles. And pray.

the last time that strategy worked was when the dubs did it agains the Cavs the year everyone got hurt. Iggy ain’t walking through that door though
 
I thought so too but I guess Steph, Kawhi, Klay and Dray would be hard capped? I read they would have to trade Dray too but I’m not 100% sure about that.

PG might be the better trade cause his salary would be cheaper.
Yeah I dunno. Thought hard cap came into play when you were trying to get somebody through S&T. Maybe not though.
 
The Clippers can't even play that "let Luka get 50" strategy. They're not a good defense team. Their roster has been overated, especially on defense.

Crazy how 1 year changes so much for a team. I can't even watch these games, because it's so disappointing to see teams with such high expectations play so poorly.

I still think Clippers can turn this around. They need both games out in Dallas though. More probably they're toast, and they let a bunch of people go.
 
Being a lockdown defender is hard man, to do it consistently for years on end is difficult - especially when your offense RELIES on you.

That’s why it’s much easier for Ben Simmons to focus on his defense. Due to the fact he has plenty of down time on offense.

This right here - maybe that's why Rondo was upset last night at Lue. Although it's hard to say what an older Rondo can bring to the table.
 
I don’t think anybody is really “containing” Luka :lol Either he has an off night or he’s injured, but I’ve yet to see a solid defensive scheme that stops him.

What DOESN’T make sense though is THJ getting buckets when PG and Kawhi aren’t the primary defender on Luka. But either way, Clippers fried. Cant lose two straight at the crib and think you’re coming back from that.
 
But you contain luka you win ....luka creates so much offense for Dallas ....
clippers threw like 5 different defenders at him including palmdale pippen and IE MJ
safe to say they can not contain him

how are they supposed to blow this up ?

w/ no picks
 
Clippers can not stay in front luka or anyone that is driving. Brunson and even maxi broke down the defense. Poor and no rotation and zu getting cooked as the last line.
 
Who is trading for Draymond though? I guess we've seen Westbrook, Wall, Horford, Paul some immovable contracts being moved lately so maybe. But I'm trying to imagine him as anything more than a great utility guy on a team and catching the Lols. Might find a take my terrible contract for your terrible contract kind of trade though
Send yo back home to Detroit

They would have to throw in at least one of their top picks this year to move Draymond.... I think.

Do the Clippers go with five smalls to combat Luka? Maybe sub out Zubac for Batum?

They’ve actually done it quite a bit this year and it generally hasn’t not gone well. They end up giving up a lot of lay-ups and offensive rebounds.

I’d only be ok with them trying it with a line-up of PG, Kawhi, Mann, Batum and Rondo.
 
Pat Riley getting some of Miami's finest lined up for Uncle Dennis as we speak

I don’t think “Heat Culture” wants anything to do with Uncle Dennis. Same reason they probably passed on Harden. Not a “culture fit”
