‘They rank last in both ball movement (286 passes per 24 minutes of possession) and player movement (10.7 miles traveled per 24 minutes of possession), according to Second Spectrum tracking. They also rank last in both the percentage of their 3-point attempts that have come off the catch (62%) and the percentage that have been wide open (42%).’

Relying on talent, poor shot quality, easy to defend. Lots of work to do to get to a playoff level offense

NBA Post All-Star Break Schedule: Clippers have a back to back right out of the gate and play 3 games in 4 nights in 3 different cities spanning over 1000 miles.

This league really isn’t serious about keeping players healthy and fresh. International Soccer, where competitive teams play 3 overlapping competitions + schedule adjustments to allow breaks for players to leave their clubs to play in international world cup qualifiers and regional tournaments, takes scheduling much more rigorously and seriously.

Do you really expect Kawhi and PG to play super hard in an all star game when they’re expected to be in top form to play 3 games in 4 nights in order to stay on track for regular season awards and to help their team keep pace in the West?

The whining over the AS Break needs to stop. What they should do: kill the Skills Competition. That abomination was unwatchable and set the game back 2 decades. More ideas like Steph vs Sabrina are welcome.

I think there’s a lot from that game in terms of execution that Ty Lue can impress his team upon (esp. Kawhi) that can get them over the hump against their tougher size matchups (Minn/Den/NO/LAL).
