NBA Free Premium Play 12/09: Los Angeles Clippers @ Philadelphia 76ers

LA Clippers  at Philadelphia

NBA - 701 Los Angeles Clippers @ 702 Philadelphia 76ers Play #1 A healthy and a confident Clippers team would crush the 76ers on the offensive end. The 76ers are a poor defensive team in defending P&R’s, spot up and transition plays and on these 3 areas while pushing the pace in every opportunity and the Clippers are a great offensive team in all these areas. However, the Clippers are banged up especially on the perimeter and obviously their outside shooting has been inconsistent and erratic lately. In 3 of their last 4 games, they shot 4-15, 4-19 and 7-35 behind the arc – a truly awful 15-69 mark (21.7 %!). Their best game was @MEM but still they only played sharp offensive basketball in the second half. The 76ers lost their last game against the Nuggets at home where they ran out of gas in the second half, something normal considering they were playing @b2b and they really don’t have a lot of depth. Like the Clippers, they are struggling mightily to shoot from the outside, 27-95 (28.4%) 3pts L4 games but at least they are attacking the rim with no mercy: L4 games their vol% of shots at the rim were incredible – 41, 33, 47 and 47%! The good news for them is that LAC isn’t a good team protecting the rim, they are allowing 65% FG and without any real good backups I don’t expect that to change dramatically so the 76ers have a good spot to score easy points down low.
