of blocking out the noise of what's going to happen with Kawhi and not sending him out there too early. And so now you're seeing Kawhi that looks healthy, that's moving really well, that's fighting well against pressure, which you saw OKC was incredibly physical with them on Sunday night. And Kawhi in that high post area was really maneuvering pretty well around that.

And that's where I was a little shaky of what's those turnaround fader jumpers going to look like with two people trapping him or trying to swarm him. And he looked really good. I do agree with you in that this has been a factor. What I'll say is Kawhi looks really good, but there's also other elements to the Clippers that have elevated. Zubats, to me, is number one.

Zubats' game, particularly the connection he has with James Harden, but his game in general, has elevated to another level. You add in Bogdan Bogdanovic, who's been phenomenal for them since the trade from Atlanta. Great fill-in for Terrence Mann. And then you add in the defense of Chris Dunn.

And there's all of these factors and elements coming together to play that I don't know if the Clippers have had recently. I mean, yes, Amir Coffey was shooting before and Derek Jones Jr. has been a great high-flying alley-oop type of player and they also can hit the wing three, but

Ich fühle mich, dass all diese Elemente über ihre Defense und ihre Kapazität für Offense auf einem anderen Niveau dieses Jahres sind. Und das, besonders jetzt, wenn Kawhi zurückkommt. Und ich fühle mich ziemlich sicher darüber. Also denke ich, es ist etwas.

I'm kind of laughing at all the winning streaks that have happened in the West have been against teams that weren't that great. It's like, how much did we really learn? But you talk about the transition aspect and particularly the Rockets wanting to control the offensive glass. I'm looking at that double big lineup.

Of course, that helps them in that capacity, but could have been a hindrance to them going the other way. How much do you think that that double big lineup with Shang-Goon and Steven Adams in the middle was a help or a hindrance?
