When Building A SUPERTEAM Actually Works

When Building A SUPERTEAM Actually Works

The LA Clippers aren’t just good at this very moment they are an absolute Juggernaut somebody needs to say it so I’m going to say it the Clippers appear to be the number one threat to the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference oh he put it in the shot of the night

The team to me that has been most impressive has been the Los Angeles Clippers that begs the question Brian wior who is the single most important player in the Western Conference it’s Kawai on prit spins away oh my goodness Look Out Below over the last 27 games

That the Clippers have played with Kawai Leonard in the lineup they are 24 and3 with the number one ranked offense the number four ranked defense and the best net rating in the NBA or to put it in other words a winning percentage of 89% which is the same percentage as the

73 and9 Golden State Warriors is it possible people are sleeping on a potential alltime great team I mean any team that has a healthy kawh Leonard has a chance to win an NBA championship because the guy is just unbelievable but you pair that with James Harden Paul

George and seriously good depth or you get a team that seemingly can’t lose just look at their recent game against a red hot Atlanta team despite the Hawks shooting 54% from the field 51% from three and putting up 144 points the Clippers still had too much offense for

Them and the advantages of having three Superstars is that one of them is bound to do something like this late in the game oh he put it in the shot of the night and I’m not exactly sure how you’re supposed to stop these guys because in the first quarter alone they

Hit six threes and it was Harden PG Kawai Harden Harden Kawai that hit the threes in that order just look here as Plumley sets the screen for PG Aku drops and PG immediately punishes him 30 seconds later PJ is bringing the ball up in transition he kicks it to harden who

Collapses the defense before kicking it to kawhai who knocks down the three I mean I don’t need to tell you how impossible it is to defend a possession with those three sharing the ball and just for good measure when they aren’t sharing the ball any one of these three

Can just do this Harden fires again and hits but you know what’s crazy despite the clips and Kawai being this good Kawai wasn’t even voted an Allstar starter just to understand how laughable this is here are the numbers of LeBron James and here are the numbers of kawi Leonard this season winning impact

Defense efficiency whatever way you look at it Kawai has clearly been the best Wing not just the Western Conference in the entire league this season and that should have been recognized in the Allstar voting because his impact goes so far beyond just his ability to score

The ball he’s still one of the very best defenders ERS in the NBA just look at him on this play Steph brings the ball up the floor he gives it up to CP3 and Looney sets a screen just look at the separation created off that movement yet

Somehow kawhai has the ability to get around the Looney screen and block the Cur jump shots and this is such an impressive part of kawai’s defensive game it’s his ability to navigate screens and contest jump shots it’s just rare to see an offensive Superstar work just as hard navigating screens and

Contesting Shooters as he would getting his own points or reaching in for a steal just look at him against Jaylen Brown wford sets the screen ha why does a great job getting around it before the initial hand in his face and the second contest as he rises up we can also talk

About his switch ability he starts this play by guarding Drew he then switches onto Tatum and look at his active hands to disrupt Tatum on the way up before Tatum blows the put back and the Clippers fight for the board well look at his genius on this play B Jimmy run

Their Twan game even with bam setting the screen kawh reaches around with his left to poke the ball out of Jimmy’s hands before racing down the other end for the dunk that’s Jimmy Butler and he had absolutely zero clue what had just happened he knew what happen on this

Play however where he beat power off the dribble before Kawai just erased his shot and then contested well on the next Miss and the scariest part about this is if you ask Kawai the Clippers aren’t even close to where they need to be it’s between our ears tonight we were

Terrible on our defensive game I feel like we’ve been running our games off of talent even our offensive game it’s a lot of slow pace and it starts with our defense I feel like these last few games have been based on talent and we need to be focused on execution well over the

Last couple of games we saw both sides of the coin from the Clippers against the Hawks they simply just outgunned them but the game prior against the Heat they absolutely put the clamps on Miami holding them to 95 points and it always helps when you have not one but two

Elite Wing Defenders just look at PJ on this play against HZ Jr bam comes to set the screen Plumley steps up to stunted HZ which allows PG to get back in the picture and somehow he blocks his shot from in front of him before then just

Snatching the ball out of his hands and I think the only reason we aren’t looking at this big three as one of the all-time great big 3es is because of things people have reservations about the Clippers as a franchise and all three of these guys have been unselfish

Yes instead of combining for 85 points a night like they could you were getting the most efficient 65 to 70 points you will ever see from three players I mean just look at their numbers across the board it’s absolutely absurd the efficiency at which they’re going at but

Beyond the top end talent I think the biggest X Factor for the Clippers compared to the likes of Denver is their depth and just like in the starting lineup there are three guys in particular who make their bench so good Russell Westbrook Norman pal and Daniel Ty and let’s start with Russ because

It’s undeniable that he changes the tempo of games when he checks in because he can still do things like this Westbrook swivels down the lane back to Leonard and lays it in oh my put it in the Highlight Reel right now and the reason Russ is still contributing at a

High level for the clips is because he’s doing what he does best which is attack the rim defend with intensity and set up his teammates just look at him on this play bring the ball up in transition and in typical Westbrook fashion he freezes the defender out with a change of pace

Before getting to the rim in a Flash I mean just look at noar on the bench he was taken back by how quickly Russ got to the rim despite his age and whilst we don’t see Russ dunk very often anymore that same burst of speed is still there

Just look at him size up Michael B Jr before dashing to the rim and it’s not just using his speed to create for himself but you now have an elite playmaker on the floor at all times this is a play I personally love from Russ where he sets the screen kawh wraps the

Pass around him and look at Russ on the short roll throw a perfect dime to plumbley who finishes acrobatically that’s the kind of play that you watch and just question how damn good this team can be he’s also made plays like this when Harden is being trapped with

The ball and he gets to the middle of the floor before dropping it off to zubot for the two these might not be the best numbers Russ has put up in recent years but there’s no doubt his impact Off the Bench is crucial to the team and

He recognizes that it’s my job my energy is a huge part of my game and what I can bring to the team every night when we have slow starts which is going to happen in an 82 Game season and Russ talked about an 882 Game season but I’m

Thinking ahead to the NBA playoffs and what if the last two Champions had in common they’ve had a high energy High productivity guy off the bench in Jordan Paul and Bruce Brown you’re telling me Russell Westbrook doesn’t have the potential to make that same kind of impact in this year’s playoffs just look

At last year’s playoffs where he not only filled up the box score but was a menace defensively on the brink here in game one Booker taking on Westbrook and a block by Westbrook and he throws it off of Booker and if it’s not Westbrook one night it’s Norman pal who can go off

For 20 on any given night the Clippers are stacked and I think people need to realize just how damn good this team is now if you did make it all the way to the end of the video and you want to see more content like this like would be
