Aloha,
It appears that there is no time table for Kawhi to return and he is out again today. The media fixates so much on AD and Lebrons injuries, yet Kawhi and PG has been hurt as much, if not more. It is clear that the basketball gods do not want the Clippers in LA. Every time they field a contender, they are struck down by injuries.
A healthy Clipper team was actually the team I feared the most in the West but it looks as if the Suns will move on if they can stay healthy. After all they have KD and CP3, neither have been a model of health.
While the Suns starting unit is the best in the NBA, they have no depth. KD and Booker are averaging 43 minutes a game, while CP3 is playing 39. One wonders how far they can advance with those 3 playing heavy minutes. They desperately need a few blow out wins, just to avoid playing their stars into the ground.

Good post, Michael. Championship keeps getting more and more wide open. Opportunities to take advantage if we don’t play with our food and take care of business. Clippers also have our number so I’m fine facing the Suns. Just got to get there, which means the Grizzlies and probably Warriors first.

Phoenix looks like they’re coming together with KD and that’s going to be a problem. Course we got our own tough series now so sticking to focusing on that. Russ played out of his mind, rest of the team was pedestrian. Would have Stu know/Zunac more over Morris who just looks old.

Suns, if they don’t breakdown, are really tough. Wishin we had just one KD or Book shooter.
