Free LA Clippers vs. Phoenix Suns NBA Prediction:
Additionally, Booker, CP3, and Durant can each create for themselves and others or run the pick and roll which no doubt will drive opposing defenses crazy.
However, the defense could be another issue as only KD is an above-average defender in that trio. Paul is aging, Book gets more credit than he deserves and Ayton tends to pick and choose when he’ll be invested.
That alone could prove problematic if Ayton becomes the forgotten child in the offense because it could lead to him checking out when they’ll need him to be dialed in, particularly on the glass.
Chemistry
So far, LA is one of three teams (Cavaliers, Wolves) who’ve completed 60 games meaning they’ll only have 21 to play post break. Indeed, more than enough time for Kawhi, PG13, and their new additions (Eric Gordon, Bones Hyland, and Mason Plumlee) to build chemistry.
Likewise, Durant will be integrating but he’s one of maybe a handful of players that could suit up for any of the 29 teams and merge seamlessly given his unique skillset.
