Amir needs to embrace being more of a scorer or defender, not just offball shooter, but tbh I'd like to see Miller get minutes and that prob comes at the expense of Amir.
If he can give is 18 to 20 a game I would start him… problem is, we don't give our younger players enuff burn to get confident…
…and congratulations on yo BDay…you r wise for your years…
Clippers just have to be better than the Lakers next season. That will be a win for Clippers fans. I'd be curious to know what Kawhi's training is looking like. Also, would wearing a knee brace help protect his knees and allow him to be healhty and playin the playoffs? If so, he should be mandated to wear one during every game.
We’re in August and PJ Tucker is still on the team. 🤦
Amir is a 3rd/4th stringer guard, he’s just not great or even good at any facet of the game, nothing stands out, with the Clips loaded at the guard position he’s not getting off the bench 🪑👎
PJ Tucker is going to stay on the Clippers as their third string PF and provide veteran leadership for Kobe Brown Kia Jones & Mo Bamba
Kris Dunn is going to be the Clippers full time backup point guard & Norman Powell is the backup shooting guard Bones will be the 3r guard and KPJ will be the 3rd shooting guard with them both playing spot minutes around 10 to 15 on a veteran team
Imo Coffey has an all around game and has a better offensive game than Derrick Jones Jr. but not defensively. Lou has not given enough time to shine imo. The dilemma is that there are too many players at the same positon that are talented. Jordan Miller, DJJ, Kobe Brown (can actually play PF). KPJ should be the back point guard unless you want defense with Kris Dunn. KPJ can give you 20+ along with Norman. Our bench is incredible. You can also lob to Kai Jones or MoBamba. Imagine Harden throwing lobs to them. Zu is okay in the pnr but he can barely jump.
1 Harden 2 T Mann 3 DJJ 4 Kawhi 5 Zu 2nd unit 1 Dunn 2 Powell 3 Coffey 4 Batum 5 Bamba 3rd unit 1 Bones 2 KPJ 3 Miller 4 Tucker 5 Jones *Brown & Miller will battle for the final roster post with Miller edging Brown out unless the Clips just want more size and keep Brown instead regardless of Miller's performance in camp and will go to the G League
I'm saying it now…KPJ IS GOING TO KILL IT this season. People don't know how good he really is I mean the dude put up 50+ and he has an slithery handle on the ball to where he gets where he wants too like Bones but the kid is gooood…he just need to make better life choices and he knows he can't fuck this up…
Coffey is a good shooter. Outside of batum and powell who else we got that can shoot??? I personally enjoy the triple shots of espresso and think he needs more minutes. He should focus on his defense and try to be a derrick white type player.
The public court actually has bleachers built into the stairs so it's more like a glorified Venice Beach and the food is good too and I know cuz imma cook😁#cheeseburgers
the loss of PG and the lack of firepower makes me think the ideal starting 5 are Zu, Kawhi, D Jones, Harden and Powell.. And maybe this is the opportunity Norm has been waiting for in a long time.. I remember him saying once "all star is the goal", so as a starter he could achieve that.. Bench is still decent led by Mann, Bones, KPJ, Nico, Bamba, Coffey, B MiIller, Kobe, Dunn, hoping that Bones and KPJ could figure something going..
Amir can be a solid contributor on a contending team. He has long arms, good athleticism, above average defender and solid shooter. The biggest dilemma is as you mentioned, when are we going to offer minutes to Miller? I hate losing PG, but it has allowed us the flexibility to add solid talent and significant depth. Love having Nico back on our team! Can’t wait to be in my seat in the Wall for the home opener! Go Clippers!
With PG gone, there's scoring opportunities for Powell and Coffey.
You look 46 . Why ?
Cheers
Clippers GM is a total moron he let Brandon Boston walk, Brandon Boston had so much talent and the clippers GM let him walk. The Clippers GM needs to be fired. Oh Yeah Lawrence Frank you need to go.
Amir Coffey is a great player. He has been improving every year. He was thrown I. The deep end in the playoffs a few years ago and did well. Didn’t he have like 37 in a playoff game ?
This year he was bad in playoffs but he’s not meant to be a starter. He’s great for his role.
