Clippers are doubling LeBron in the post every time he catches the ball down there. WTF? It's preseason. At least show some confidence in your defender.
Having a 2nd defender close by to rotate and help when Lebron gets near rim is NOT a double team dude, that's just help defense. I haven't seen any true double teams from either team tonight.
DJ has been really impressive, even if it is just meaningless preseason crap. But still, it's good to see a physically gifted big man trying to become skilled in the post. If only Griffin would do the same. Maybe he has tried, but his back-to-the-basket game still seems to be ugly and ineffective for the most part.
@Clippers fan 86. I can already see the difference with Barnes or Hill out there. Miami not getting those baseline shots they want so easily. You guys scare me this year.
Wish the Clippers could find a taker for Butler, even if it means getting a similar deal in return for a backup big. If GSW didn't have so many wings, I'd do Biedrins + Pick Swap Option (Top 10 Protected) for Butler.
That 2nd defender has yet to even bothered to defend his man. He just moves towards LeBron the moment he catches the ball.
Yea... but that's a help defender that's ready to come. A double team is when you literally have 2 players on the player with the ball. Lebron is the best player in the NBA so pre-season or not it's not that big of a deal. Clippers need to practice playing serious defense to make a jump.

What does that guy expect? I think teams are allowed to play hard in the pre-season
You can't see what you're players got if they're not trying.

True plus as I said.. 7 new players I WANT them playing their asses off and acting like it's a playoff game. On an opposite note I'm disappointed to say Odom looks like he literally doesn't give a shit, just going through motions like he did with Mavs
