The Clippers lineup is old enough, and they were teased by Thunder reporters! But they can really beat them

Paul joined the Clippers with a basic salary, and the team's lineup is ready. Now 14 players in the team have signed formal contracts and 3 two-way contracts. The average age of this Clippers is indeed a bit older. Thunder reporter Brandon Rahbar joked on social media: "The 31-year-old Caruso is regarded as a big brother and senior in the Thunder. If he is in the Clippers, he may be called a rookie at this age." The average age of Thunder players is only 26.7 years old, and the 31-year-old Caruso does seem to be a "senior" role in this. In the Clippers' lineup, the main players are almost all over 30 years old, such as Paul (40), Batum (37), Dalow (37), Harden (36), Leonard (34), Bogdan (33), and Bill (32) and Dunn (31) are no longer young. Although they are older, these experienced players still maintain good competitive form. In fact, Paul played 82 games last season, Daluo was launched 80 games, Batum played 78 games, and Harden also played 79 games, far surpassing some young players. Although most of these veterans exist as substitutes, their role is indispensable in the Clippers' system. As for health issues, Caruso and Bill's physical condition is the team's main concern, and the other players are relatively stable in the game.

However, the Clippers are not the oldest starting lineup in the league. If Horford chooses to join the Warriors, the real oldest will appear, including Curry (37), Butler (37), Horford (39), Green (35), and possibly Hilde (32) or a slightly younger Porzingis. In this case, when the Clippers meet the Warriors, if the game enters the final five minutes of the decisive moment, and ten veterans on the field compete on the same stage, it will definitely be incredible. It is simply a showdown between the "Five Dead" and the "Five Dead".

Back to the topic of the Clippers, although many people are not optimistic about the prospect of this team's championship and believe that they still find it difficult to surpass the Thunder and the Nuggets, I think the Clippers' lineup is strong and there are almost no obvious shortcomings in each position. Once the game starts, it should theoretically pose a threat to any opponent. Their biggest problem is still health. As long as healthy small cards come on the field, there will be unlimited possibilities.

Speaking of the current league, almost no team can say with confidence that it can defeat the Thunder and the Nuggets 100%. These two teams are generally regarded as the team with the highest probability of winning the championship next season. However, the same principle applies to the Clippers, who can be sure to defeat them easily? Based on this point, the Clippers are destined to be a popular team in the championship next season. Whether they can successfully win the championship remains to be tested.

When thinking about the Clippers' lineup, it seems that the gap in strength between the starter and the substitute is not significant. The starting lineup consists of Ka Jr., Dengo, Bill, Collins and Daluo, while the substitutes include Paul, Jones Jr., Dunn, Batum and another Daluo, with Bogdan also among them. These two lineups can be used flexibly and can effectively gain rest time for the main players. When the record allows, Harden and Kat can explode in the late season of the season and in the playoffs, and the lineup depth is quite sufficient.

Many fans have begun to worry about whether head coach Tyron Lu can successfully use such a deep lineup, but there is no need to worry too much. After all, he has a rich coaching experience in the league. In addition, chief assistant coach Brian Shaw also showed his abilities last season, and Van Gundy Jr.'s joining, the Clippers' coaching team is strong.

In short, the Clippers have a lot of expectations for next season. The team has a strong lineup and focuses on many All-Star players, including Kat and Harden. Both of them have very high attention. In addition, Paul is also giving his final glorious curtain call for his career. The team's popularity will definitely not be lower than that of the neighboring Lakers.
