A threat to handicap parking spots sure
The answers no. But I still like hearing Jason's voice😊
If healthy, they could be a threat
I think you would be the only one not shocked to see them in the 5 seed. I expect like 6-7th seed at best.
If Steve ballmer can land Julius Randle , they can compete with any teams for the championship
As a Clippers fan, I won't ever lose hope, but honestly, I have no faith in Kawhi's health. 😅
Clippers starting 5 Jame Harden, Kawhi, DJJ, Kai Jone and Zubac will surprise the league
I hope Jeff Van Gundy see this starting 5
I would not even call them a pretender, they are more like a fringe play-in team, 7-9th in the west is the best case, 10th realistis but i could also see them as one of the worst teams in the West. Kawhi and Harden are simply nowhere near superstar level and the supporting cast is also below average, especially in the west.
Incoming harden fat suit
Jacques should start. There shouldn’t even be a debate
Been protenders
He didn't even mention Kevin Porter Jr the biggest steal of the offseason. he is going to kill it this year finally playing with high IQ players like harden and leonard.
I’m almost %100 positive josh primo isn’t a clipper anymore… mentioned him at 1:12
From a financial standpoint I see why kawhi was signed but the clipper would benefit on a rebuild but they don’t control the picks lol
If Kawhi can stay healthy and if regular season Harden shows up for the entire post season… so i guess the answer is probably no.
They’re definitely not a threat that’s unless you get a healthy Kawhi and better big men
I definitely think the clippers could have gotten a better defensive player than zubac.
Short answer: no. Long answer: hell no.
😂
If Harden is ur 2nd option in 24 ur fucked
This team will be underrated this year. They got more defensive minded players, added JVG to the staff, which is huge for that side of the ball, and extended Zubac.
