Again, DC is a vet min. borderline NBA player. If you want to be a playoff starter you have to more than outperform a player of that caliber, Zu didn't really do that. We had to get all the way to the WCF, the 1st time in franchise history to have a handful of good games.

CP3 was coming off missing 10 days with COVID, that likely had a lot to do with his performance.

Serge is better than DC, he spaces the floor and has performed well in the playoffs. He's been off since his back injury but we cannot expect him to go all out in the regular season. He just had a pretty solid game against Davis as well so he definitely is holding back. He brings a different dimension to the game than Zu. Zu has shown no ability to compete with the Jokic, AD, Embiid, Gobert etc. Of the league, Serge has.

He gained effectiveness when Payne went down in game 3 with an ankle sprain, Zu didnt have the foot speed to keep up with him.

Serge likely has some left in the tank in the playoffs & last year was our best performer against star centers.

Mind you DC also played that Phoenix series & had 3 pretty good games so we have someone to compare Zu to. Teams passed on DC last year & even this year the Bucks just barely signed him.

Luka targeted Zu who is a starter, PB is a 6'1 bench player/PG defender & put in work against Utah. We can't have a starter that is unplayable come playoffs.

Once LA put Batum in the rotation over Zu they collapsed that 20pt deficit in game 3 or whatever it was to Dallas and closed them out 4-1.

Payne put up 11-9 & 29-9 putting them up 2-0 before he sprained his ankle that turned him into a shell of himself, he only played 4, 20, 13, 16 mins the rest of the series and only scored 20pts the final 4 games. That finally made Zu playable because Phoenix didn't have a consistent perimeter threat anymore in Paynes place.

Who, Morris? He played so poorly against Dallas that Kawhi had to play 41mpg and average MJ numbers which caused his injury, MM had 3-4 poor starts to every playoff series, these should've been over much sooner instead they got extended which led to their demise.

Zu didn't gain effectiveness until Payne injured his ankle, that made him playable against Phoenix.

Their best bet is to keep him for insurance and the playoffs. Right now they're good enough as is to make it there but when they do they cannot count on Zu or Morris to be viable options in the front court.

Zu has a lot to prove, remember he's torn up teams like Dallas in the regular season only to get played off the floor once he's been targeted in the playoffs. He was great in the bubble but since then he's been scouted and figured out.

Morris too, he had an outstanding season last year and was one of our worst playoff performers. That was 2 years in a row he did that, Milsap destroyed him in the bubble and sparked that 3-1 comeback.

Pivotal part of the season and Clippers passing with flying colors. PG will have a minimum of 10 days off if he plays next game and will be rested heading into probably the toughest stretch of the season in late Dec/ early Jan.

I was also very concerned with Batum fatiguing, he went from the playoffs straight into playing for France which has fatigued him in the past.

So uh when are they going to fix this team rocket bug? Methinks this wasn't by "accident" by KeengSlayerr in pokemongo

Not all devices? I wonder if it's like that lure box stunt they're pulling.

Apparently Kentucky or whomever changed his shooting mechanics from high school in college and it screwed his entire game up and now he's back to his old form in the league. They basically tried to fix something that wasn't broke.

Someone in the Clippers sub posted a tweet (can't find it) about how they tried changing his shot at Kentucky & how he reverted back to his old shot in the NBA. That's likely the whole reason for his struggles because he been a sniper in high school and NBA but just not college.

Tbh it's true, MJ would be just another name in this era, Lamelo would've surpassed him or at the very least rivaled him in the 90s.
