Zu, Harden, Kawhi, DJJ, & T Mann will build great chemistry in training camp. Ty Lue & Harden will unlock the post for Zu, DJJ & T Mann 🙏🏽
If we ever trade Kawhi and Harden I always believed Zubatch should be the next franchise player similar to how he is on the Croatian team he averages 20+ ppg at high efficiency, he can be the guy.
Developing consistent chemistry and performances from the younger guys is key.
Basketball IQ is our biggest problem, from the FO on down.
I think Zu can be our third star. for sure.
Need to let James run with everyone.. Let the young legs learn early.
Told erabody we kept feeding Zubac we beat Dallas. PG WB won't feed him, only Harden. Other 2 are to selfish to feed him
The young talent should be given opportunities. Kevin Porter, Bones Hyland, Jordan Miller, Kai Jones, Cam Christy, they all have potential for the future. They should learn from Harden, Zu and Kawhi and then grow slowly.
Zubac needs 34 min 18 points 12 rebounds 2 blocks. If he get more touches his free throw try’s will go up.
We have a Great roster, two Vet stars that complement each other, surrounded by a bunch of solid depth. We have youth, athleticism, defense. still feel we need a legit PF tho, like a miles bridges, Brandon Ingram or Markkanen type player to really complete the roster.
Clippers teams need a big power forwards play along side Kawhi
Starting 5, Jame Harden, Kawhi, DJJ, Kai Jone, and Zubac will shock the league
My goal for Zubac is 30 mpg, 16/12 numbers
Been saying for years, there's an easier path to victory and it's playing through Zu more.
Zu gonna eat – I’d buy his jersey over kawhi’s
I feel Zu sometimes forgets his the biggest dude on the court and defensively he frustrates me when he switches on to a guard and is guarding them beyond the 3 point line (vs pelicans in play in game) if he drops back we can switch back
dont sleep on cam christie . hes impact player i like his defense and shooting and long arms
I think basketball players and fans have to get it out of heads of that talent wins championships. It’s obviously the chemistry between teammates.
less turnover without pandemic p and weestbrick.. and also lot of ball movement and defense. this clippers gonna win championship with dogs
Go Clippers!
Almost to 6k! Subscribe if you haven't.
We going to need another star to win a championship. Bradley Beal is the best fit, but also Brandon Ingram or Jordan Poole are good options. Trade one of This for Powell and PJ. It’s possible and we going to need it in the post season. In the regular we going to win games cause we good. It’s one star and we could win it all.
I agree with you on everything. His biggest flaw imo is how often he gets stripped of the ball and turns it over. I then watched gobert in the playoffs and was reassured ( f**k Gobert) one of my favorite things about Zu is when he has the opportunity, he attempts to dunk almost everything
Great episode Dime. Need Big Zu to elevate his game this year!
We need a consistent 20 point scorer behind KW and will be fine at 15 and 10. Also need another PF 10 and 10 guy that can block shots and that would put the clippers top 4 in the West. Harden 16 and 10 assist with good D from Mann and Jones. We got a very deep bench. Maybe Powell can ve that guy to step up and score more, he would live that.
Clipper currently has enough to win it all this year. They have the 1-2 Punch who clearly are All NBA Talents still, Norm who should win sixth man of the year this season, plus ZU who prove especially in the Olympic you can run some offense with him. The team have young depth, we have the best coach who not afraid to adjust in Ty Lue. Time to prove the doubters wrong.
This lineup : harden, tmann, kawhi Zubac and DJJR. Is good defensively and Big Zu could play more offense . But instead of tmann starting you could add a Bradley Beal and the offense would go crazy like another creator to facilitate for kawhi and even harden can be a catch and shoot 3 with another star like brandon Ingram, Jordan Poole or Bradley Beal for Powell and PJ.
But getting Zubac injured would be a disaster bro that’s why cause he heavy he could have a bad injury . Mo bamba can play minutes in a 5-out lineup or Kai jones and batum duo can do some rebounds too in a 5-out.
Zubacs biggest weakness are his hands. He has so much trouble securing rebounds at the offensive end. Most of his rebounds he taps the ball to a teammate. But to actually gather the ball in traffic, he can’t.
heard we're getting a couple of wild power forwards — nance and Julius randle
I totally agree with you . Yes that's what we have to do give him more confidence.
