Can the Clippers win the championship this year? Su Qun's answer is the same as O'Neal's

The NBA regular season continues, as of the time of writing, the Clippers have a record of 35 wins and 17 losses, ranking 3rd in the West, 2.0 wins behind the top Timberwolves, the Clippers are undisputed as the favorites for the championship this season, and even when they won 9 consecutive games before, the Clippers once gave us a feeling of invincibility, but as the season progressed, the Clippers finally exposed their fatal shortcomings, they are not invulnerable, according to statistics, the Clippers have lost to the Timberwolves, Pelicans, Cavaliers and Lakers this season.

Basically, as long as the opponent has a strong interior line, the Clippers will fall into a hard battle, especially the Timberwolves, the Clippers have lost twice in the face of them, and many fans are also complaining that they really can't beat the Timberwolves, and the twin tower combination of Towns + Gobert can be called a nightmare for the Clippers. There is also a similar situation with the Knights, and the twin tower combination of Mobley + Aron is not easy to deal with.

To put it bluntly, the biggest shortcoming of the Clippers is the interior line, and neither Zubac nor Plumlee are good at protecting the frame. So, can the Clippers win the championship this season? Let's take a look at what Su Qun and O'Neal have to say.

Not long ago, a fan asked Mr. Su Qun whether the Clippers have a chance to compete for the championship this year, and Mr. Su Qun replied like this: "There must be a chance, these strong teams have a chance, I dare not say that the Clippers have the greatest probability of winning the championship, because they are not good inside, and you have to look at the injury." ”

These words are easy to understand, Mr. Su Qun thinks that there are more teams that have a chance to compete for the championship, and the Clippers are one of them. Secondly, Mr. Su Qun thinks that the Clippers' inner line is too poor, which is a huge hidden danger. Third, the Clippers have to rule out injuries. Based on the above three points, Mr. Su Qun does not seem to be optimistic about the Clippers, after all, the interior line is indeed a short board, not to mention the Timberwolves, if the Clippers meet the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs, I am afraid they will also fall into a bitter battle.

Because there is basically no suspense for the Lakers to enter the play-offs, if they can continue to get a playoff spot, then the ranking will most likely be 7th or 8th in the West, which means that the probability of meeting the Clippers in the first round is extremely high, and the Lakers don't look at the winning rate is not high, in fact, except for the Nuggets, I'm afraid that no team in the first half of the West is willing to meet them, and the Clippers are destined to be unstoppable. Then there's the injury factor, Leonard just suffered an adductor injury and missed today's game against the Warriors. Harden is not in a good situation either, and the bearded man has always insisted on playing and has never been rested. We can't ignore George yet, in fact he is not 100% healthy either.

And O'Neal was a guest on the TV show some time ago, and also talked about the ownership of this season's championship, the big shark said: "I'm optimistic about the Nuggets, they will win another championship, Jokic is very good, although I don't agree that he can get a foothold in our era, but he is really a talented guy, he can also affect the game by passing, I like Murray this guy, I like to watch him play." ”

Unlike Mr. Su Qun, O'Neal is very direct, he thinks that the Nuggets will win the championship again, ignoring the Clippers, but overall, Su Qun and O'Neal's answers are the same, neither is optimistic about the Clippers. The Nuggets are really strong, the starting configuration is the top in the league, although the bench is weak, but Jokic is sometimes too inexplicable, Murray is also underestimated, often 30+, plus Pope, Gordon and Porter who can attack and defend, the healthy Nuggets may still be the number one favorite. The problem of the Clippers is still on the inside, imagine meeting the Timberwolves in the playoffs, how should the Clippers play?
