How about the 18 Rockets 25 Clippers? The Clippers are actually Rockets 2.0 version

3:27am, 25 July 2025【Basketball】

You can compare the point guard from Paul to Harden in 2018. The strength is similar. The point guard has Harden to Bill, the strength has declined. The forward line has changed from Ariza to card, and the rises. The power forward has Tucker to Collins (defense declines and offense increases) The center from card to Zubac. The starting lineup has improved overall this year. 2018 substitute Gordon ➕Green ➕Nine. The injured Bamot would not take it out. This year, Paul ➕Dunn ➕Jones ➕Batum ➕Darlow, whether in organizational ability, offense or defense, substitutes are far better than those in 2018, so it is a comprehensive comparison. This year's strength is stronger than in 2018.

The lineup's fault tolerance rate is much higher than that of 18. The only thing I have a little doubt is how should Dunn and Jones Jr. be arranged? It should become smart, and it is likely to be synchronized with Harden's dual-powered guard's play style when Harden scores offense.

should be replaced by Bill, and Dunn and Clark Corinth Zubac partner. If Harden assists, he should be replaced by Bill. Bill clan main attacker, Corinth Corinth three-pointers and an all-in-one connection. Zubac eating cake mode, Harden deals cards, and Collins mainly plays pick-and-roll players, leaving Zubac to the right ghost position to eat cake and protect the basket. As for Jones' time issue, it should be just a substitute, and a substitute for 15 minutes. The playing time of the clan should be controlled around 32 minutes.

Actually, we are the Rockets version 2.0. 17-19 Rockets: Harden, Paul, Tucker, Ariza, Capela, Gordon, Bamot, Rivers, Anderson, House, Nene. Clippers: Harden, Ka Jr., Bill, Collins, Zubac, Paul, Dunn, Jones Jr., Batum, Dalu. The Rockets found that No. 4 and Anderson could shoot but had no defense, so they chose to give up. In the peak year of 18, the lineup was also the best-effect lineup. In fact, Harden, Paul Gordon, Ariza Tucker, who had unlimited defense replacements.

Later, Rivers Jr. did dirty work and tiring work. The Clippers started almost the same as the Rockets, with 2 singles blasting points Harden, Xiaoka, No. 4 Collins who can shoot, defend and shoot. The main thing I want to say is not the starter, but we can now have a set of Harden, Kat, Bill, Batum or Jones Jr., Collins, 5 small lineups, 5 space points, 2 singles strong points, and unlimited defense swaps.

and you can still be much better at pick-and-roll in the 1/5 pick-and-roll than Tucker. Bill and Gordon have similar functionalities, poor defense and strong offense. And we need the height, and we can also take Daluo. Collins continues to pick-and-roll and eat cakes with 5 space points. Not to mention the lineup, we have gathered all the elements of the Rockets 17-19.

In my opinion, the Clippers may be one of the most powerful offense and defense teams in the league. They have strong starts and attacks and weak defenses, and are all elite scorers in their respective positions. The second lineup is just the opposite, with weak offense and strong defense, and cannot get a few points, but the defense is awesome, with two locks on the outside and top-level frame protection inside. The starting substitutes feed each other, and there is a reasonable and evidence to be refuted.

Clippers fans need to calm down 1. The offseason champion has been shouting for many years, and they are disappointed every year, so don’t have too high expectations. If there is really a surprise, it’s the best! 2. Although the Clippers have strengthened a lot, the fact that the elderly kayak is in front of us has led to too many uncontrollable factors such as age, injuries, etc., which is difficult to predict later!

3. Can we arrange reasonable and effective tactics and chemical reactions for twilight players like Carlisle did in 2011, whether they are reasonable and effective, whether the team atmosphere is good, etc. are all unknowns. To sum up, I still advise the Clippers fans to return to peace, wait patiently, and watch the game rationally!
