Anybody here ever seen this guy Milos Teodosic? 30 year old, Serbian. 6'5"/195........

Watched the Clippers game last night and he looked damn good! Court vision was superb and he was tossing some nice dimes out there. Him and Lou Williams together looked nice. ALot of turnover down there, but the Clips might catch some people off guard.
 
I watched a bit of this game as well. I agree - they looked better than I expected.
 
He is supposed to be legit, but there are doubts that he can handle a full NBA season and the physicality.
 
I think clippers will be alright this year I have them 6-8 in the west.

A lot will depend on how healthy Blake and Gallo can be and how Doc manages a team with more quality depth then he's had in the past. But I agree, I think they're getting dismissed by too many people right now.
 
Yes I watched it as well. He ran the team pretty well. They kept saying he was a better shooter than he was showing last night.
I looked up his Euro stats and they were decent. We will see how that translates, but no doubt he can dribble and pass well.

Which is why I'm shocked some on here claim we will have HCA next April.

I agree, it will be a battle for us just to make the playoffs. Unless we can make a trade for another consistent good player (more like two in the west)we may be a team picking in the low lottery next June.
 
Teodosic has great BBIQ, good shooter, elite court vision, amazing passer, but ozone hole on defence
so if Doc uses him properly, hell be great addition to their offence

Isn't Blake out till January or sonething? Thats gonna hurt

Edit: Saw he played last night. I thought his toe was still jacked.
 
Yeah the battle for those last 4 spots is going to be crazy. Minnesota is the only team I feel pretty sure about in that bunch.

Here's my top choices / predictions for 1st round west matchups:

#1 GSW vs #8 UTH
#2 HOU vs #7 LAC
#3 SAS vs #6 POR
#4 OKC vs #5 MIN

Blake, Gallo and Lou Will. You could argue that all 3 of those guys are top 40 offensive players.

I am suprised they didn't start Lou Williams, and bring Rivers off the bench. But, hey daddy's coaching.

I understand it. Rivers isn't good but he's a better defender than Lou Will and I think it's in the Clippers best interest to keep 2 of BG/Gallo/Lou on the floor for as many minutes as you can and starting them together makes that harder to do.

Houston are so overrated.

Just about every team they play... Especially when Jordan is sitting.

Idk. Willie Reed is a pretty big upgrade over Speights in that regard, but it's true that they have the potential to throw out some pretty awful defensive lineups.

Milos/Lou/Dekker/Gallo/Griffin is the one that sticks out for sure.

And people think they're gonna do well?

They are NOT last year's Jazz.

I see Clips anywhere between 7th and 10th seed. Injuries will tell the story. Most likely, I could see them sneaking in as the 8th seed.

Well, there's only 10 or so teams that can say that so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

EDIT* And it's more like 5 or 6
