Wow, that’s great analysis!
Clippers are old asf age will beat them
You coaching or announcing after you retire Draymond?! Pick one!
You have no idea what you're talking about
Dray plotting something😈
This is Chess…Draymond is trying to get the Clippers knocked out early.
He not lying that’s actually genius
PG: am I a joke to you 💀💀
Funny how role players know the game so well.
Warriors get eliminated tonight
Paul George can guard Kyrie? Kawhi on Luka and PG on Kyrie. The rest can easily be figured out
Kawhi healthy clippers in 5 maybe 6 games if not Dallas in 6
He's a former dpoy, i believe him.
Kawhi guarded Luka last time they played in the playoffs and got cooked!
In this hypothetical, if Russ starts, the Clippers will lose spacing, forcing Kawhi, PG, and Harden to make long contested 2 pointers. Because Mavs are willing to let Russ shoot wide open 3s.
😮nerves!!😒bruh are you nba player, or MMA fighter hell I see you a podcaster too huh?😂Draymond just hoop and stop tweaking on the court.
Who tf listens to this guy… an active player talking about other active players he plays against should be at least frowned upon… he has subscribers? No wonder things are in the dumps
Draymond knows more about defense than all of us combined, especially when you consider the fact he was the best defensive player in basketball for a handful of years, but I still don't understand why Russ needs to start for this plan to work. I can easily see PG guarding either of Kyrie or Luka while Kawhi guards the other. The second one of those two start to heat up then switch it up by subbing Russ in. I guess you could say starting Russ to set the tone would help the Clippers, but there's no way to completely shut down Luka AND Kyrie, especially at the same time.
Props to Russ though; For most of his career Russ was considered a terrible defensive player, when in reality he just couldn't put the right amount of effort on that end of the floor since he was using all his energy offensively. Dude was drafted as an athletic defensive guard, which people tend to forget about, but I always knew Russ was AT LEAST better than average defensively. He proved this year that, if needed, he could've been an all-defense type player. Draymond acknowledging Russ as a defensive threat against Kyrie proves this.
“ let me tell you Kyrie’s a monster” god damnit draymond we know 😂
Talking about every team but his own
No need to defend kyrie at the start lol. Put fresh russ on him when hes hot.
I don't think Russ can defend Kyrie.
Kawhi won't be able to lockdown Luka, and his efforts on d will take away from his o
You have to be on that tnt post game the night we will sent home the clipp! May the best win
if you play 2k you kno this
Should have gave his team some advice
Facts man – I been said that
Put Russ on whoever hot
Clippers still got PG right????
Draymond didn't stomp Sabonis in the play-in and the rest is history.
As a clips fan, I'm alright with that. But Russ provides the spark for our second team. Keeps the pace fast.
I think Kawhi guards Luka in clutch time but for most of the game you put other lengthy forwards on Luka like PJ Tucker, Daniel Thies and Paul George
Draymond: let’s put Kawhi on Luka and Russell on Kyrie
Comments: Let’s have a Draymond vs Randy Orton 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
