LOL "Rudy Gay starting tonight due to injury to Landry Fields." He should be starting over Fields period. And man Clippers need CP3 back asap. Griffin can't carry them, and the Clippers have been looking mediocre.
So much for deep bench. Been looking like the CP3 Clippers all day. Thats a 35 win franchise without CP3 folks.
Chris Paul is best PG since Magic Johnson. Clippers are still solid and deep team without him(over .500), but they are no Chicago without Rose or Boston without Rondo, because he isn't overrated like these two.
I'm starting to think that Rondo's style stunts the ability of the players around him. Especially the other guards. They just don't have the ball in their hands enough because of Rondo pounding the ball.
They care less about stat padding assists for Rondo, but they are still mediocre on offense. If they get one good efficient offensive player they are bigger threat to Miami than they were one week ago. Biggest difference in those 4 games is that they've played better defense with Lee instead of Rondo. Not suprising since Rondo has been mediocre on defense this season.
Andre Drummond is a beast. I wish Morey had done everything in his power to get him. Lin-Harden-Drummond would be a core to build around for the next 7 years. You're telling me Patterson + Dmo + 1st round pick doesn't get #7 in last year's draft?
i wonder whether it would be same here in houston without harden...that one game without him we were doing just fine
