The NBA is a very predictable sport as far as player output is concerned. It's very rare for a player's production to fall off a cliff over a short period of time. The same could be said for the vice versa. The same could also be said for how a team performs against their competition. If you're good, you're good. All year long according to metric stats the Clippers have clearly been the 2nd best team in the NBA behind the Warriors of course. They are even better than the Warriors offensively. I don't think they can be stopped offensively and it's all because of Blake. You back off him he's going to shoot that well improved jumper. you step up he's going to blow by you, he can post you up. His most deadly weapon is his passing, 5 ast per game.
That Lob to DJ is one of the hardest things to guard in the NBA. It's like a pick your poison with Blake. Give up the jump shot, the dunk, the dime, or the lob!!! Chris paul leads the league in assists yet his power forward is still averaging 5 a game......WTF
Blake is unbelievable, and is still arguably not the best player on the team. CP3 was being argued as an MVP candidate. I didn't see it but a lot of pundits did. Nonetheless, they are quite possibly the best offensive duo in the league. So Blake literally can't be guarded, CP3 is the Point God, JJ Reddikk is going to go through more screens than a burglar whose specialty is climbing through windows. DJ gives them so many second chances on offense and Matt Barnes is an adequate 3pt shooter. The bench is an absolute joke outside of JCrossover, which may very well be their downfall, but in the playoffs benches get short anyway, so we'll wait to see how that plays out. Their defense can be trash even though they've been the 7th best defense since the all star break. The only team they should fear is San Antonio who they have a lot of trouble with. They have proven they can beat everyone else in the west
