‘I’m having a hard time picking up against the Clippers’

Draymond Green and the LA Clippers have a very legendary history. He has had fights with their players, coaches and fans. Despite that, Green provided props to the Clippers in Inside the NBA (H / T Clipperholics).

Green is currently replacing Shaquille O’Neal on Inside the NBA, and commented on the Clippers during Broadcast on Friday evening. Ernie Johnson asked Draymond during the show, “Which LA team would you think, based on your experience, is the best group?” It was then that Green supplied props to his Western Conference nemesis.

“I’m having a hard time picking up against the Clippers,” Green said. “And the reason is that they can put out so many different lineups.” You want to go big, they can go big, you want to go small, they can go small. Three-point shooting, defense, whatever you want, they can put those formations out there on the floor. “

The Clippers have the luxury of running a larger lineup with Ivica Zubac, or a smaller lineup with Montrezl Harrell and JaMychal Green. They also have hybrid superstar wings in Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. This kind of versatility is why green gives them the edge.

“When you got it in the playoffs, it’s all about the matchup when you can compare yourself to anyone, it’s going to be hard to beat,” Green said.

No one has ever doubted the Clippers’ talent. The biggest problem with the team is their lack of continuity. They are rarely healthy and have only done three training sessions all season with a full team.

When healthy, the Clippers are clearly the deepest team in the NBA. The problem is the rarely seen “when sane” part of this statement. This will be their x factor during the playoffs.
