Kawhi the best in the NBA? + The Pistons are here | Slam N Jam

He can get to his spots and score at will. But when I say high floor, he doesn't make mistakes while being a first option kind of player, a player who's got the ball in his hands a lot. And that helps a guy like James. Like James still, I believe James turned the ball over more than any player in the league after the All-Star break.

However, if he's the only dude turning the ball over at a high rate, you'll live with it. And that was the biggest difference between the Clippers that were bottom 10 in the league offensively through most of the first 70% of the season to the Clippers being one of the very best offenses in the league.

You know, James isn't turning the ball over as much as he was, and he's the only guy who has probably a porous turnover ratio. You got guys like Zoo. He's improved. You know, Zoo used to be a fairly unreliable player when it came to catching passes, short roll, decision-making, all that. making passes out of the post.

He's gotten so much better at that, you know, and James gets a lot of credit, but Zoo, you got to credit the actual player making the improvements as well. Chris Dunn as a starter next to James Harden. I mean, it just fits because now James doesn't have to worry about overhandling the basketball. Chris Dunn, he can, you know, kind of caretake and get the ball over half court and,

James can come off a screen or post himself, situate himself at the elbow or something like that and direct the offense that way. It's just they have complementary pieces that fit. They always had guys who can put the ball in the basket. The Clippers don't shoot a lot of threes either, like the Nuggets, the second fewest in the league.

And the Clippers shoot the fewest catch and shoot threes in the league. The issue with that is. If those dudes are catching and shooting, they're making those shots. They have complimentary pieces around stars. And Kawhi is going to play like a star. I mean, it's just different. And I think teams have had to reconcile with that over most of the last few months.

They're a championship team, but they're thin. I think this is what happens when you got guys who know how to win and and know why they're not winning. They don't have enough guys. It's really as simple as that. DeAndre Jordan is your backup center. Julian Strother and Jalen Pickett are the last guys in your rotation. Peyton Watson is your most reliable backup big.
