Overreaction take...hard to see a healthy Clippers losing a seven game series to anyone. Such a good combo of length, grit, athleticism. They’re clearly more athletic and well rounded then Lakers without PG even
The Clippers added Kawhi Leonard and Paul George to a playoff team that took two games from last year's Warriors when the Dubs had a fully operational Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson. The Clippers lost nobody important from that team. I don't see why they haven't always been a prohibitive favorite to win the title. I should have put some money down. Arguably last year's Clippers *before* adding Kawhi and PGIII were at least as good as the Raptors *with* Kawhi since I don't see the Raptors winning more than two games (at most) against a fully healthy Warriors team. People are sleeping on the Clippers juggernaut potential.
They are also overestimating the Lakers. I said multiple times here that the Lakers won't make the WCF and I still believe that. Lebron and AD are a great duo so they will show a lot of flashes but they are too old and lack depth. Lebron would need to be at peak to carry them and he's just not any more. He needs to get a lot of rest during the season because he will need his superman cape in the post season for sure.
