    Will the Clippers have a top 3 defense next year?

    Just signed Luc Mbah A Moute back to the team to add with Patrick Beverly and Avery Bradley.

    I guess if you can't score like G.S. and the Rockets you try the other route.

    he reminds me of kawhi leonard a little bit, obviously not nearly as good, he was great in college good defender and 3 point shooter he was a steal in round 2 of the draft

    All they have to do is corral Kawhi and that D would be epic.

    Is Doc still safe as coach? I know they took away his other responsibilities.

    I thought it was his best job yet last year considering the circumstances. They were floating around with almost making the playoffs after losing Blake.

    hoping they can stay healthy. Not that they have a chance to win anything but many injury prone players. No one likes to see players injured.

    Lol @ top 3 defense ? Those guys are good defenders not elite - besides both Beverley And Bradley is always hurt - Clippers like to push the tempo on offense - no chance in hell there even a top 8 defense - West is loaded with scoring guards

    No, they bring Williams and Teodosic off the bench, and they have no defenders at the 4/5 spots unless they go super small with Harris or Mbah a MOute.

    these guys need to stay healthy... bev and gallo are walking injuries but if they can stay healthy, avery bradley has been injury prone lately but i believe in him. clippers, nuggets, jazz, are all threats again to sneak into the playoffs again

    Teodosic has to be a goner. They have an option on him and nowhere to put him.

    Bunch of clowns that don’t understand hoops ? Clippers is not a defensive team!! They are built through offense first !! Guys like Bradley/Beverly when healthy can provide good defense but gives nothing on offense - MAX WINS 43 at best - not making the playoffs - CASE Closed!!! (They Probly push more then any team in the NBA even more then GSW/Houston )-

    Clippers are gonna suck.. They are gonna quickly become a forgotten team now in LA and a bottom cellar team.. I hope they are a cellar team and tickets get really cheap and plentifully during the Clipper season.. I miss those years when you could drive up to a Clippers game and scalp 2 tickets for $40 and get really good seats..

    I use to go to Clipper games all the time because the Lakers tickets were always so pricey... Nothing like stretching your legs in empty seats in front of you as well.. Clipper games about to become affordable with semi empty seating.
