Show Notes
The Clippers suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Trail Blazers, 114-114, due to their struggles on the boards. The teams trade deadline move to send Ivica Zubac to the Pacers and rookie big Yanic Konan Niederhäusers season-ending injury left Brook Lopez as their only center. This lack of size was evident as Deni Avdija exploited the paint, scoring 28 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. The Clippers small-ball lineup, featuring John Collins or Kawhi Leonard at center, has impacted Kawhis scoring and their ability to protect the rim. Brook Lopezs subpar rebounding compared to other centers has led to a trend of getting outrebounded and struggling on second-chance points. The future first-round pick from Indiana, while potentially beneficial long-term, is currently hindering their playoff chances.
