How The Los Angeles Clippers Are HUMILIATING The NBA
The Los Angeles Clippers have been on a whole another level and I’m talking from all aspects of the game when the Clippers walked in the TD Garden it wasn’t just the pace and execution that was on full display but they also stuck into the Celtics defensively forcing 11
Turnovers and making Boston shoot 36% from the field and 25% from Deep was a key staple to their win but how exactly were they doing this well if you watch the game you would see the Clippers made it a point to close off the paint Whenever there was an attack to the
Basket which made it hard for guys to score in side and then on the other end they were just flowing even if it wasn’t off the dribble Drive penetration just a couple possessions later when Terence man gets switched on to Luke cornette you can see the Clippers sinking heavy
On him just to crowded space making his time inside more difficult the quickness to go swarm guys will speed up offensive possessions so even though Tatum doesn’t have to opt into this tough shot he tries to draw the foul which results in a miss and yeah the Celtics do retain
Possession of the ball but kawhai is able to get out to the three-point line to contest the Pritcher three and and it clanks off the rim for the Clippers to go the other way every time Tatum will try to get into his actions the Clippers would pack the paint which forced him
Into scoring off jumpers and when you’re crowded like this it’s always going to be a tough shot to make and with the Clippers on a mission they get down the court in a Flash to convert the bucket it’s one thing to play solid defense but it’s another thing to be all the way
Locked in as on this possession versus Celtics Harden tells kawhai to play high on the screen as this will let him not get beat going the other way and it also takes away a easy pass to Brown so when JB runs off Harden can slide over to close the gap with plumbley momentarily
And this gives man enough time to rotate over to take away this easy one from Brown yeah the Clippers defense can really be special at times as they can close off the Gap to the rim quickly and they can test a three-pointer and then on the very next possession when Brown
Starts to attack you can see the entire defense collapse a little bit and then when he commits to driving towards the right Harden shifts all the way over plumbley leaves Horford on the three to take away this drive and with a 41% shooter and Al Horford wide open all
Things go their way as Horford misses the jumper just making it difficult for the opposing teams to score off the drive James is over to slide over to bother Tatum while kawhai gets a hand on it so this makes JT fumble the ball and ultimately miss all the opportunities in
Close and other times when Tatum will put his head down and Slash the Clippers were ready for the smoke and send all their Gladiators to swarm the threat now as good as their defense has looked I can’t say it’s unbreakable because if they do have a mental lapse on where to
Rotate then here’s where a man is left wide open to drill it home but majority of the time when they have this game plan in action they can sink in at just the right time when holiday has determined to go up and now with two defenders in his face it makes this an
Extremely tough floater to convert it’s crazy because just when you think you have someone on the backside open for a layup well when you’re dealing with Kawaii Leonard this play gets broken up and leads to a Brandon Boston Jr slam yeah nothing gets past the defense without some resistance and with them in
S calling out where everyone needs to be matched up even though Drew holiday is open on this backside George already knows is due to the prior communication and can intercept this pass with ease I know a lot of people don’t like to analyze defense and just how effective a
Scheme can be but when you see how Bal in each guy is it can show you exactly how good this team can be on the defensive side it may not always be the most eye-catching plays but with this high level of Defense their offensive Firepower wouldn’t be enough to get them
Over the hump now am I saying that their offensive game is soar no not at all because we all know this Clippers team operates in a flow State at all times and even if they find them M El down they can turn on the stove at any time
To heat up when looking at the 22 minutes Paul George kawii Leonard and James Harden shared together on the court the team puts up 54.7 points a game with 12 assists to go along with it while connecting on 50% of their shots from the field and 41% from Deep like
Let’s be real the offense with them three on the court is special and can just frustrate the defense night in and night out it can really look like they’re out there playing games as Russ spins off the defender to beat them to the rack and instead of just going up
For the wide open and late he drops it off to kaai without looking which catches the defense off guard and it’s a easy slam for Leonard the way these guys can manipulate the defense is ridiculous as here kosman notices the smaller ties Jones on Leonard so he just leaves his
Man to go switch but making Jones rotate all the way out to Coffee on the three-point line is absurd and it’s a warm-up jumper that drops in that gravity that kaai possesses not only will pull two Defenders to him but three will commit to him when he pushes
Towards the rack and now he can dump it off to man on the cut for the giman side such a force Kawai is that in one-on-one situations he can work past the defense with ease and on this action here man directs Paul George to run out to the
Three-point line but why is this will this for George to occupy his man or be a kickout option because when plumbley signals towards Kawai it shows you that the ball is meant to go there so once man throws it to Leonard he and plumbly clear out to the left side so kawhai can
Operate going right and since Derek white doesn’t want to help off it makes the attack much easier and when met with contact by Jason Tatum at The Rim it doesn’t even phase Kawai as he can Focus through it to L us off the glass and it
Could have been an n one his strength is just truly too much for the Defenders to deal with as it looks like Defenders just bounce off his body when they try to make contact with him that strength is a huge component to his game because even after being crafty with a spin move
Leonard can use that power to move Horford off of him to toss the in at the front of the room but hey it doesn’t just happen on those drives though as when he’s making space for himself he can all out move the defender out his
Way and then spin back to knock down the easy jumper some will say Kawai doesn’t have a bag but hey he can show you a glimpse of it with these shimmies that lead right into a midi this season kaai is also efficient from the three-point line shooting a hot
45% throughout these size of Step backs the defense may get a good contest but it’s three points on the board with Harden’s Elite passing he can slip this pass to the roller with a swiftness and now with the defense being sunk in this work kaai can benefit heavily as this
Look from the perimeter is wide open this ability to make quick reads with his passing picks the defens AP part so bad that when he comes off the screen the Piston Defenders think that the pass is going back to the roller but W I can truly understand why they think
The pass would be going back to the screener because Harden is always looking for his guys on the floor and even if it seems like he’s about to go up he’ll fool the defender and wrap it around them for a plumbly bucket inside for Defenders they need to be aware of
Who’s around Harden and if he has the angle to find them because when his stride to the rim Harden can thread it between his legs to Kawai and when the defense turns around it’s just too late and Leonard can power right through kosma to get this one to fall in the
Passing is such a lethal weapon for the Clippers that if opposing teams miscommunicate on the switch for even a split second Harden can quickly zip it to Paul George in the corner and it’s a Money Ball honestly if you ask me this offense for the Clippers just run smooth
When they get in the flow of things and when you have the smoothest player on your team who can knock down tough jumpers it just takes things to a whole another level the Los Angeles Clippers are found their groove and are showing the NBA that they truly mean business if

cool bro, nice videos. can you talk about what whi said on winning through talent? keep it up
Great vid as always you are the GOAT
lmaoo 2:16 Tatum tryna go up on 4 defenders, as hes watching KAWHI approach him… lol dude just pass the ball. I remember Tatum and Brown sat and watched Kyrie do this their rookie season and I think that definitely made them think it was okay.
Then lost to the Cavs 😂😂
This is Russ' team. He's carrying them and everyone else is following suit.
The midi (midii) (midii) (midii)
But voila is wild😂😂
