Which grade do you disagree with most?
Agreed with kawhi and Paul takes so far !
Clippers season grade for me is a C rated team.
To be fair, I judge whole team :
Before Russ joined, Grade C
After Russ joined + PG + Kawhi on court, surprisingly Grade D
After PG absent, Grade B
After adding more time with Mann, Tyland and Powell, Grade B+
I anticipate Clippers as Grade A, when PG return and trade in a reliable Center e.g. Rudy Gobert

The Zu hate is weird to me.
Didn’t know you went to UMass! That’s what’s up bro I’m from Lowell,MA myself. Love from the 978 💯
Ty Lue deserves a d- and im being very generous
Grade B
17:35 when you said bones hylen was a good shooter I literally went to basketball reference to make sure I wasn't bugging. 40% from the field, and 35.1% from three isn't good in my book. He's shown some good flashes but imma have to give Him a C+. Solid passing, good penetration, but streaky shooting, weak defender and bench fighting which is preventing him from being a B
Drops no-look passes ALOT, can't finish for the And 1, free throw shooting seems flat this season, often loses CONTESTED rebounds (often against guards), flops alot and looks for a foul call when his shot is rejected. Plays passively on offense. Other teams go right at him cause he's passive (soft). At one point his teammates wouldn't pass to him inside for fear he'd drop the ball. He's an offensive nightmare. Again, across most sites, he's ranked 20-30 for his position. Mediocrity is never okay. He's been with the clips for years. He should be farther along at this stage. His is the position I worry about most in the payoffs. You know it's bad when the coach has kawhi playing the 5 at points. Zubac g rade: C (he's mid)
With Nico and Roco getting C/C- grades, our worst matchup is at the 4. That is unless we consider half of Kawhi's minutes as at power forward. We struggle against athletic forwards and athletic big guards like Shai and Brandon Ingram.
That said, I like us against the Suns. As you said, they are untested. Like an Olympic or World Cup group of NBA players that loses to Croatia in the initial rounds. Which is why the Clippers to take them out early, before they get momentum.
My fear is ty lue likes to be down 0-2 to make comeback:( ?hate it
You got my vote for GM bro! What do you make of our starting lineup matchups against the Suns?
Batums +/- is really really good when he is on the court good things tend to happen. First half of the season his shot was ass but he is the AL horford guy for the clippers. I'd give him b+
