I need to see Reggie Jacksons box score so far. It's got to be hilarious

0/6 with 3 turnovers and 0 defense so far

 

[D StaXX]

5 total points

Mike Breezy got these men hooping

Do they Light the beam on the road?

 

[addict4sneakers]

Marcus Morris looking like Larry Holmes

 

[tsamshox]

We should be blowing these fools out by 40 TBH.

yes. any Win

Sabonis gets the worst whistle. mf gets elbowed in the face once per game, never even gets a foul call, let alone a flagrant review like most people get. then he gets the softest calls on him ever

At full health and assuming you had a Kawhi that looks like himself, it's gotta be easily a top 2 team in the West. But yea, who knows if that happens

Kawhi is nowhere near playoff shape right now. Nowhere near. First quarter of the season is already gone too

He needs several months of uninterrupted play just to find his legs & his lungs. Giant question mark.

“clippers coming out of the west” they said

elton brand gonna have to suit up

I agree with all of this. As I have stated before, the players health, both physical and mental, is #1 but that makes it really hard to gauge the Clippers ceiling this season. Kawhi just had a season off and is still limited after an injury like what…15, 18 months ago? Paul George has been much more available save these last four games but what is his prognosis going forward? They got Sixers’ Process Era injury reporting vibes going over there

At this point you kind of have to expect you're not going to see a 100% Kawhi this season, right?

I told you all this wasn’t a playoff team before the season started.

reggie 0/8 and missing technical FTs .. he might need new prescription goggles

mf has negative points at halftime on my FanDuel lineup

All that smoke dudes had for AD... Been real quiet lately

just dont understand it. why wouldn't yall want dude to be healthy

when he is, it's must see tv. generational talent.

 

[shotsrangout]

clippers just gotta get a decent enough seed. keep resting kawaii and they got a chance in the playoffs.

 

[moderndarwin]

Healthy AD now still isn’t the AD of Pelicans days. That man was different. He was agile and a freak. This one can still put up the stats when healthy but let’s not act like it’s the same he looks old in his hips and the speed of his movements.

 

[tomdiginson]

Spurs been getting cooked

Keldon Johnson’s FG% this year is cooked too.

Definitely loss some pop since New Orleans with the lower leg injuries and added muscle, but at least he's got a stronger upper body to finish through contact now.

Keep resting Kawhi and get a decent enough seed isn’t really the answer IMO. It’s not like he’s been running with these dudes for a long time and he can seamlessly reinsert himself into the lineup and everyone can quickly adjust to their new role. As ill steelo eloquently pointed out, this team will still need time to gel if/when all their key guys are healthy.

he did it with the raptors so why can't he do it with the clippers

 

[storm2006]

The devil is the details. That is not true. He played 60 games (meaning he missed 22) that season at 34 MPG and he never missed more than 4 in a row. To start this season he has only played 5 games (meaning he has missed 19) at 22 MPG with a 12 consecutive game absence in there.

This is not equivalent to the Toronto situation by any means.

I was at the game. The missed tech was this moment for me -

This pathetic mf
Lowest score of any player who has entered the game. Some guy named Moussa Diabate has 6 points
