The Clips look really good and the Lakers have had a pretty good schedule and they worked it well to be at 17 and 3. The Lakers though have come up short against the better teams at home. They get Denver, the slumping Jazz and Portland on the road as a bit of a litmus test. One thing about Lebron if he’s breathing he is playing.
It’s really hard to get an in-depth read on the Clips as George just got back and Leonard is in and out of the lineup following last year’s rest schedule. What I’d like to see is a stretch of ten or so games with Leonard and George in and playing to see how much more they can dial up than what we saw against Dallas the other day on the road. Those two are all NBA talent but I’m still sceptical on Pat Beverly as a playoff PG and if Lou Williams can be a microwave off the bench in a half court playoff game when the NBA refs swallow their whistles.
The bite from the big dogs in the East is every bit as mean as those from the West.
