Two weeks ago, Russell Westbrook organized a minicamp in Las Vegas. Teammates who came were required to work out and dine together. At one dinner, he stunned teammates when he handed each a new iPhone 15 Pro Max. The Clippers gushed about Russ, the leader:
They blamed Blake Griffin and Chris Paul
They blamed Paul George and Kawhi Leonard
They blamed Ben Simmons
Now they’re blaming Joel Embiid and James Harden
It’s time we address the real problem
"In terms of accountability, your best years in the NBA were when you played for him and the Clippers... It's just very ironic and kinda weird that you have this energy towards him."
Austin Rivers responds to JJ Redick criticizing his dad Doc.
The Clippers created the blueprint to defeat Luka Doncic in the playoffs
The blueprint is to have Paul George and Kawhi Leonard on the team, and the Suns have neither.
If Lively didn’t come into the league at the same time as Chet & Wemby there would be a lot more noise on how good he is. He’s gonna start for great teams until he’s 35.
Thank you Kawhi Leonard
Thank you Paul George
Thank you Reggie Jackson
Thank you Zubac
Thank you Ibaka
Thank you T Mann
Thank you Pat Bev
Thank you Luke Kennard
Thank you Nic Batum
Thank you Marcus Morris
Thank you Cousins
Thank you Rondo
Run. It. Back.

His current contract is worse (we’ll see what James Harden gets next), but I’d unequivocally rather have Bradley Beal. Beal’s younger, a better teammate, and has a strong (though admittedly short) track record in big playoff games vs. Harden’s… well, you know.
27 year old role playing off guard who gets played as a wing by his head coach is untouchable because he hit 7 wide open threes 2 and a half years ago.
A win is a win, but if I’m the Clippers, I treat this like a loss. Dallas really figured something out tackling Zubac down the stretch. That’s one of those somewhat small adjustments that can win a series.
