Don’t think I’ve ever seen a gifted leaper hate dunking like Wiggins...:pachaha:


:mjlol:he literally had the:francis: after catching that nice ass Lob from Wannamaker. You would think he was 5' 11 with just long arms the way he politely puts the ball through the hoop on his patented rim grazer dunks. Kawhi with no personality and one good leg be dunking with more authority

The Clippers/Heat game is something else. If you ever needed to know the dangers of chasing steam, this is the game. If you got Heat as 3 point dogs, you made a good bet. This line got all the way to Heat -7 and they're going to lose outright with no Kawhi, PG, Bev or Batum. Like every other NBA game in this era, three point variance made a big impact in this one. Heat 8-36 (22.9%) and the Clippers went 15-32 (46.9%). There's almost no automatic wins in this era because on any given night either team can be ice cold or make everything.

All that said, this Clippers team is so much better than last year's roster and Ty Lou is a HUGE upgrade over Glenn Rivers.

I been saying Clips should consistently give Mann minutes.. with the Point Guard situation they have, it’s worth a shot to let him learn on the job and see what he can offer.
He's been getting minutes, of course not as much when Kawhi and PG play, but he has been seeing time on the floor. His defense and rebounding is stellar but he was offensively challenged for a good minute but now he's starting to look much better on the offensive end. I say he should work on his mid range game over the three ball. Kawhi lives off the mid range so its not extinct from the game

The sims i use had the clips with a 42.4% win probability, which isnt too bad and 10% better than the odds gave
