Jalen jacked my hope meter up 10 points
Yeah, mine spiked too but I don't think it went quite that high. Still, Green, at times, looked like he might be the best player on the court last night and we sure need someone other than Devin that can do that with any regularity. Add to this the fact that Ryan Dunn has started to look like he belongs and we might have the makings of a team.

Zubac is one of my favorite underrated players. Too bad the Suns didn't draft him, when they were chasing after Bender and Chriss.

He was selected by the Lakers at #32 in the 2016 draft and later traded to the Clippers for Mike Muscala who I believe is an assistant on the Suns coaching staff.

I am a huge fan as well. Easily one of the most solid, reliable players out there.

This is probably more of a comment on or indictment of KD, but what I really liked about Green is that he looked like he wanted to be there and gave a crap about the game. Everybody looks like they care, which is really nice to see after the last two or three years.

I didn't mention Ayton. Simply pointing out that Williams is not physical center compared to a player like Zubac.
I gotcha. I am simply pointing out that comparison since the last center we deemed not very physical was Ayton. I do see a contrast. So I am not sure "not physical" is a good description. I like the way @SirStefan32 described it above.

Williams is bringing a lot to the table, but in the last few games he's been opting to lay the ball up a lot and he misses nearly all of those. So if he isn't going to dunk, he has to at least make those bunnies.

At least he attempts to get to the basket. Something we couldn't say of Ayton.....constantly.

Could just be getting his legs back into more and more minutes.

I don't think the Clippers give him enough touches on offense. Especially when we went small with Zubac in. They should have let him touch it every play on offense. Good thing the Clippers don't do that for us.

That's what happens when you have James Harden. Never has 10 assists looked so empty on a superstar player.

I'm thankful for small favors or in this case, a big one.

Even Lopez was eating us up for a bit. There was no answer. I’m surprised they didn’t keep utilizing him.
