what happened to the Clippers defense?

[ManBearPig]

They were one of the top defensive teams last year but now dead last even with DJ finally improving his game.... AND now they have Doc Rivers Rivers.

Was sup Doc?

Well Coach T was the mastermind behind the celtics defense and KG was the anchor.

I don't know why people give doc the credit

They have a backcourt rotation of CP3, Crawford and Reddikk

An undersized PF who only uses his athleticism to dunk

A center that's a good shot blacker but bad at everything else defensively

The clippers were a great defensive team last year with Blake, Paul, and Jamal

Their roster didn't change enough to drop off like that

Thibedou Was The Assistant Coach For Some Great Defensive Knicks Teams, The Celtics And Now The Bulls, All Good Defensive Teams, Clearly He Knows What He's Doing

They got Griffn, Dudley and Chris Paul in that starting lineup. You think they were going to be a good defensive team ?

And KG wasn't in his prime.

Maybe in 08 but that KG sure wasn't the KG in 04

Let's kill the talk that Rivers is in Pops league as a coach and a human being

They were actually good on D, not initially, but when the team peaked under Flip's zone D, they were fundamentally sound aside from Wally

The Wolves weren't ever a top 5 defensive team under KG. They were always in the middle of the pack. With exception of one year where they were ranked 6th.

Do you consider usually being ranked number 16th out of 29 teams good? The Wolves were always a mediocre team defensively with the exception of one year.
