This Clippers series will be very telling. I've been really worried about the matchup and my gut said Clippers in 6 before it started. Our 3 point defense has been lazy and porous for quite a while now. Westbrook has really devolved into an awful, lazy defender who makes low-percentage gambles and then doesn't hustle back into position.

The Clippers won't shoot that well every game, but they don't need to to win. It'll be interesting to see what adjustments Brooks and the players make. My biggest criticism of the team is the lack of discipline our veteran squad shows either offensively or defensively. Basically, we often do not play smart. During the first 5 games of the Memphis series KD and Russ in particular took terrible shots, way too many contested threes (Russ should never shoot more than 1 or 2 a game - he's an awful 3 point shooter). Now, our lack of defensive discipline is showing. To me, this is all a reflection of the coach. Let's hope we have some answers in the coming games or I suspect we'll see some significant changes in the offseason. This is the time to convince KD that he can win a championship here.
