    I prefer non white supremacist centers. Maybe that's just me....

    I'm not a Clippers fan but damn I hate how the refs keep calling a lopsided game in favor of the Warriors.

    He’s been looking good with them since he came back. Folks are either in denial or not watching their games. Unfortunately Bogut and Looney works very well for GS.

    Clippers hosed the 76ers over that trade. Well worth it for sure considering they were probably not going to resign him.

    Watching Bogut out there getting away with his fouls and moving screens is just infuriating to no end.

    Patrick Beverly scored less than 5 points in half a game. ....again :/ He's a starter and he really shouldn't be

    A screen is illegal only with use of hands and when the screener strikes another player with the hands.

    When GS is dialed in and really trying on defense, they are damn near unbeatable. We better get ready because they know the Rockets are a legitimate threat. They will definitely be focused against us. We gave them all they could handle last year.

    1) Bogut has his hands up and grabs players all the time
    2) It's also illegal if you're constantly moving which Bogut does every time

    Looney earned his spot and going up with cousins in practice made looney better. Bogut better too. It's been nothing but dunks and tip ins.Lighting quick too!

    A lot of us thought they might be a bit better without having to give Cousins any minutes.

    Cousins gave them an option (automatic inside scoring, great inside-out passing) that they don't necessary have otherwise, but they don't really need those options with their particular set of weapons.

    Active motor Looney (who can get shots) and Bogut (who can set massive moving picks and clog the middle on defense) are probably much better for this particular super-team than Cousins.

    Also, sigh. I really really hate them all except Klay.

    Effort, all-around defense, absolutely
    Looney is a madman in the paint and can guard smaller players on the wing, very well.

    Cousins is much more superior on offense, but the 1000 and 1 offensive weapons. They are still going to score in bunches.
