Lakers is just a better team than Clippers

[90sgoat]

Compare outside Lebron/Kawhi:

AD >>> PG
Dwight/Jamale > Zubac/Harrell
Green > who?
Rondo = Beverly
Kuzma > Lou

Vogel >>> Rivers

Clips might have had a shot if Vogel was coaching, but not with Rivers devolving into OKC like lack of coaching.

[Uncle Drew]

That's not how basketball works. These players look good because LeBron elevates them. What were they before the lord and saviour, the MVP arrived? Apart from Kuzma of course, who is complete trash and is, in no world, better than Lou Williams. You're a fool.

[Im Still Ballin]

They are better put together/have less weaknesses.

The talent level is about the same, if not slightly in the Clippers' favor. Although, that might change if Dion brings 40% 3pt shooting with floor general ability.

Terrible post.

[ImKobe]

Morris, Williams, Shamet & Zubac will be liabilities on the defensive side in a Lakers-Clippers series. AD will abuse whatever line-up they throw out there, there's no counter for it. Clippers can win with their superior 3PT shooting but Lakers definitely have the bigger advantage here.

[ArbitraryWater]

You don't even know Javale's name, you wanna tell me those on-the-bench-sitting no-name-having outcasts are more impactful than Montrez?

I hate to say it, but this confirms my suspicions of you being kinda dumb.

Also, are these all players playing? Or are we missing guys like Reggie, Morris?

Why the **** did you put a ? for the Green comparison when you weren't going by position anyway?

90SIDIOT knows that the CLIPS have way more talent.. The Lakers won cuz Bradley scored big and because Lebron took over in the end. HE IS JUST MAD And looking to belittle the GOAT...

The CLIPS without PG AND KAWHI still win over 40 plus games .. The LAKERS without Lebron and AD are lucky to win 20 .. THAT IS A FACT.. LEBRON AT THIS AGE IS STILL ONE OF THE GREATEST ..

You are saying AD is not better than PG?

You dumbass should be banned for such a statement smfh

It still appears a big coincidence to me that the lakers are suddenly playoff bound with Dwight Howard, who was with the same team 7 years ago in 2013, which was also the last time the lakers made the postseason..

That matters very little when we're talking match-ups in a potential H2H series. Clippers can have all the talent they want but they got no answer for AD.

[90sgoat]

AD being >>> better than PG? Nah

He is.

AD is a top 5 player for the last 5 years in the league. He is a Durant level talent.

PG is a Jimmy Butler level talent, that is, not able to lead a playoff team.

[juju151111]

Avery Bradley was already 1st team all defense and averged like 16 points before. Kuzma was good last year. AD been in MVP discussions and Alex played great when given mins end of last year. What exactly are you smoming. This is probably the best team LJ ever had. If this was Young LJ with these players instead of 35 year old. They wouldn't even have to play the season.

[NBASTATMAN]

I have to see AD actually play big in a playoff series to actually believe that. In the first two games AD didnt play all that great from what I remember. The big difference today was not allowing DHOWARD in the game to screw it up. Morris is actually a big piece for the LAKERS cuz he brings toughness that they didnt have and he did a good job vs HARRELL.. Harrell usually has killed the LAKERS and he played well but MORRIS slowed him down some.. HAVING Marcuz Morris go 0-9 and Bradley shooting well was the difference. THE CLIPS have a better team and everyone knows that. But the LAKERS can beat them but they need to hit those open threes and hope the CLIPS miss them.. LEBRON THE GOAT YOU KNOW THAT..

[Axe]

Also, since the clippers lost again, does that mean kawhi shouldn't have left toronto at all?

[NBASTATMAN]

He is.

AD is a top 5 player for the last 5 years in the league. He is a Durant level talent.

PG is a Jimmy Butler level talent, that is, not able to lead a playoff team.
YOU R CRAZY IF YOU THINK HE IS A DURANT LEVEL TALENT. He is a top 5 player but he isnt on DURANT level and never has been.. He is on a lower tier than LEBRON, KAWHI and Giannis. He is a bit better than PG but its not a big difference.. Problem with AD is that he is a 7ft jump shooter. He cannot dominate down low vs THE CLIPS or any tough NBA team..

[Meticode]

Anthony Davis is clearly better than Paul George and it's not really close honestly. Between the four major players in L.A....LeBron, PG, Kawhi and Davis....PG is the weakest player in that four.

[NBASTATMAN]

Anthony Davis is clearly better than Paul George and it's not really close honestly. Between the four major players in L.A....LeBron, PG, Kawhi and Davis....PG is the weakest player in that four.

Mostly cuz KAWHI doesnt make him any better. Bron makes AD so much better..

[Axe]

In the last five years, how many times did the lakers made the postseason again compared to their crosstown rivals?

[Meticode]

Mostly cuz KAWHI doesnt make him any better. Bron makes AD so much better..

I disagree with the LeBron making Davis better thing. Davis has been a Top 5 player for a while now. Davis is just as good now as he's been the last four seasons. It's just the offensive load isn't completely on his shoulders like in the past.

[Meticode]

In the last five years, how many times did the lakers made the postseason again compared to their crosstown rivals?

The Lakers haven't made the postseason since 2013.

[juju151111]

Whats with this nonesense narrative of them having the better team. No they do not
Avery Bradley>Bev bradley is about equal to Patrick on defense and a way better score. Averged up to 16 points before and can get his own shot at times. He was out of shape last year and fat. Saw that Lakers got AD and seen the chip and lost 20 pounds. He been playing great. Also has alot of Playoff experience.
35 year old LJ=>Kawhi Leonard. This could go either way
AD>>PG AD affects the game more on defense and can switch on Perimeter players seamlessly. This not even a debate stop it.
Green<Marcus Morris both decent Green been on big stage through and hit huge shots in playoffs, but is getting old. Thats the only reason ill give it to Marcus slightly.

[Axe]

The Lakers haven't made the postseason since 2013.
Ikr. And this season, fans make it sound like they're instant champs already. I mean it's better if we wait for the final results first before celebrating anything.

[juju151111]

Mostly cuz KAWHI doesnt make him any better. Bron makes AD so much better..

How does LJ make AD better? AD been like a 6 time allstar. Led his trash ass team to the playoff before. Averged 28,11, 2 blocks.

[SouBeachTalents]

I disagree with the LeBron making Davis better thing. Davis has been a Top 5 player for a while now. Davis is just as good now as he's been the last four seasons. It's just the offensive load isn't completely on his shoulders like in the past.
Has he really been a top 5 player before this year?

Before this season you really saying AD established himself ahead of LeBron, Durant, Curry, Kawhi, Harden etc.

Remind me when AD has made a team better. Remind when he was in contention as a DPOY.. AD has always had great talent but this season he has raised his level of play. Lebron showing him the way.. GOAT JAMES

[NBASTATMAN]

Has he really been a top 5 player before this year?

Before this season you really saying AD established himself ahead of LeBron, Durant, Curry, Kawhi, Harden etc.

TRUE. He has alway been considered one of the Great players in the league but he is on a higher tier now. He isnt on BRON, KAWHI, GIANNIS OR KD level but he is just under those guys. Last season AD was being called a stat padder who made no difference on his team..

[ArbitraryWater]

Correct. AD is on a winning team now. Obviously perspective changes.

[NBASTATMAN]

BTW THE LAKERS are not better .. Lebron is just the GOAT and KAWHI is in his prime and it will be tough against him but if the LAKERS can make their open shots than they have a good chance.. But if I was betting I would put my money on the CLIPS cuz they just much more talent.. Especially off the bench.. TODAY WAS ONLY ONE GAME.. Any team can win one game..

Oh and before i forget, i know the lakers have made the most finals appearances (and also the most losses there) in the entire league. That's why i thought it'd be a relief if the clippers ever somehow win a conference title for the first time in their team's history.

You can go back and look at top 5 threads from last year. Maybe one person mentioned AD out of like 30+ posts. Now everyone is acting like they've always had AD ranked highly. It's comical.

[Atlantis]

Nah. Clippers won 2 games to 1. Still better.

Games played later in the regular season have better predictive value for the playoffs than those played earlier on since they better reflect the respective teams come playoff time. Teams are still experimenting with lineups, making trades, and aren't as tired earlier in the season.

They aren't better if Leonard is better than Lebron like most of you think. I kind of think so as well, but...in no way should the Lakers be favorites over the Clippers if Leonard is a better player than Lebron.

What does who is better from Bran vs Kawhi have to do with the rest of their casts? Lakers are clearly more stacked.

Lakers- LeBron, AD, Green, Bradley, KCP, Caruso, Rondo, McGee, Dwight, Markieff, Kuzma
Clippers- Kawhi, PG, Lou, Harrell, Zubac, Beverley, Green, Shamet, Reggie, Marcus

Clippers are more stacked, but the Lakers role players fit in with a LeBron team really well (shooters and people who catch lobs). A 7 game series between these to wold be VERY interesting, as these are clearly the two best teams in the west (Rockets have no bigs, Nuggets are still REALLY young, the Jazz' second best player is a rim protector). Neither of these teams are scrub teams by any stretch of the imagination.

Actually its the lakers. Even their bench. Rondo = pippen, dwight = rodman. Ill take lakers bench over this clippers team minus kawhi. That lineup could beat OKC while this clippers team have alot of talent but they all play the same as kawhi. The game is not played on statsheet. Chemistry is far far more important than stats or else houston wouldnt be underachieving right now or lebron being ringless without superteams.

The Lakers do have a size advantage but they also played with much more urgency than the Clippers did. The Clippers played sloppy all game and still led as late as the 3rd quarter. They seemed unfocused and overconfident. Kawhi never really made a defining imprint on the game aside from a few late in the 4th. In other words, that wasn't the Clippers best game. That's not who the Lakers will see in the playoffs.

And besides...that was only the 11th time the Clippers played fully healthy. They are still figuring things out. I wouldn't say this game is predictive of what to expect in the playoffs.

I know it sucks for you brah. Coz lebron has a more complete team but still is losing to kawhi. Thats how huge the gap between them despite the stats saying otherwise. Coz kawhi plays the right way and can fit in to make the whole greater than the sum of its parts while lebron cant thats why hes an underachiever. Once youll understand more about this game, youll understand that stats dont mean shit.

Bigs don't have impact like that in today's perimeter-oriented format, but AD still won 48 without Cousins most of the year and took the Warriors 5 games.. That matches Lebron's 2017 season except Lebron had a healthy team and played in a much weaker conference.

But I turned on the Clipper/Laker game in the 4th the other night - and I knew it was over when I saw the Clippers send 3 defenders to guard AD in the corner.. Only Lebron has a super-stud like that as 2nd option - Paul George isn't a #1 option at all, let alone a guy that you have to triple-team in the 4th.. Lakers will win the title easily this year.. AD is a top 3 player in the league

what's your actual top 5

[3ball]

what's your actual top 5
everyone is pretty close and there's no distinct order:

Giannis
AD
Lebron
Kawhi
Harden


not necessarily in that order and I might have missed someone

He played 48 games with COUSINS that season another top 7 player in the league at worst. They went 27-21. They played better when they acquired Mirotic who was pretty good on that PELICANS TEAM..

AD has always been an underachiever. As soon as he plays with BRON he is DROB.. LOL.. That is a joke.. PAUL George was top three in MVP and DPOY last season so he is def a top 7 player in the league.. THE LAKERS without LEBRON on the floor are garbage.. If he beats this LOADED CLIPPERS TEAM there will be no debate as who is the GREATEST .. LEBRON WILL jump way over mj.. :applause:

yea compared to the majority opinion, you are definitely overrating ad. Over kawhi harden and hell even doncic I think would be a pretty unpopular opinion. i dont have a problem putting ad in top 5 however

AD is better than Doncic for sure.

[Axe]

AD is better than Doncic for sure.
Luka isn't even in his prime yet.

[NBASTATMAN]

compare outside lebron/kawhi:

Ad >>> pg
dwight/jamale > zubac/harrell lol
green > who?
Rondo = beverly
kuzma > lou

vogel >>> rivers

clips might have had a shot if vogel was coaching, but not with rivers devolving into okc like lack of coaching.

all analysts agree that the clips the most loaded team.. Mj fans desperate lol...

[ronniec]

Lost to Nets, a better team??? How?

If it is just one off, then Clippers lost to Lakers could be an one off also.

It actually shows that most analysts don't believe LeBron can pull it off when there is a team out there with equal talent. LeBron actually has the biggest team in the league. He's playing with a guy that has better stats across the board than he does -- even free throw percentage. If LeBron is the GOAT and everyone has so much belief in him then why doesn't anyone pick his team hands down without a doubt to win this year?

This team is actually built for Lebron.

He loves to play iso, ball hog, to wait till the dying seconds to dish the ball out to shoot a 3, they have Danny Green and Caruso, and now they have Avery Bradley.
To drive to the basket if missed, they have the tallest front line in the league in AD, McGee, Dwight to get rebounds.

The pressure is on them actually, not just Clippers.
They need to win, Lebron has to win.
