They’re gonna end up with one of the best benches in the league so...

Only someone who has no basketball knowledge would say the Clippers aren't deep. They are easily one of the top-5 deepest teams in the NBA.

Edit: I really hope he's joking.
 
The Clippers lack big men or rim protection but make up with good rebounding and defense..they aren't deep at the 5....and yes. I agreed with HCP about bench at the center position but they are better than the Lakers look to be in my view

Thats probably their biggest weakness is at center. That said all their bench players who have played have double digit scoring tonight all on efficient shooting too.
Thats with PG out of the line up too.

Zubac and Harrell are just fine.

Yeah I think so as well. Not top tier but adequate for their needs. Harrell and Lou Williams have amazing chemistry off the bench, they are by far the best duo anyone has coming off their bench.

Zubac is a fairly decent rim protector and scorer. Not amazing but all right for 18-20 minutes a game. JaMychal Green can also play some minutes at center and help stretch the floor.
 
Why is Torronto running their players into the ground right from opening night ? 45mins for Lowry and 44 for Vanvleet. Even with an OT that's really high. 38 for Siakam too

AD played 37 minutes for the Lakers. let's see how many games he can keep doing that...

I think Toronto really wanted to win in front of their home crowd after the whole ring ceremony and raising the banner. I doubt Lowry and Vanvleet end up playing that much going forward.

That's what I think as well but their lack of depth is worrying. They lost Kawhi and Green who both played heavy minutes last season and did not replace either. I don't think Hollis-Jefferson and Stanley Johnson will play significant minutes this season as they aren't very good.
