Time for us now to look at the season outlook for the LA Clippers a much changed team

Of course with Chris Paul now in the franchise rearview mirror

They brought in quite a haul for him those Tadeau said she looked quite entertaining last night is on board

Danny's gonna join me here right now. How you been good? How are you?

I'm excited about this team a little bit after watching them last night against the Raptors in Hawaii and

I guess the place to start here as we have with a lot of these teams that have lost stars is what did it look like when they didn't have Chris Paul on the floor

Now I'm not saying they're gonna be that bad this year

This isn't a case where with the bulls of Jimmy Butler or the Pacers with Paul George

They didn't replace him. I thought they did well if they're trying to compete this year to replace the guys that they lost

They got to know Galenari is way better than any three that they've ever had basically in the arrow the Blake Griffin era

Essentially and they've got Patrick Beverly they got Tadeau such they got Lou Williams

So they really look like a real NBA team they have a lot of solid NBA players on this squad

But just so we have it last year negative 5.3 net rating with Chris Paul off the floor much of the carnage

They're defensively where they had a lot of problems

But another issue that they had for years and years and years is that they're bench was so bad and now

They should be in much better shape with their reserves at least yeah

They're starting the season with a better roster there than they have before though something to remember with bench play is that their

Starters have to stay healthy and because if those guys start sliding up then you start depleting your bench and

Something that I wanted to kind of start this with with the clippers because it was something as I was researching that that I remembered and then I wanted to dig into it was as you remember

The clippers started last season as a house of fire

They were really strong defensively their bench played great and so I just just kind of thinking well

We look at total year-long stats they ended the year 13th and defense
