Health of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George is key to the Clippers’ bid for an NBA title

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:06:00 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — LOS ANGELES CLIPPERSLast season: 44-38. Lost in five games to Phoenix in first round of the playoffs.Coach: Tyronn Lue (4th season with Clippers, 133-103 ; 8th season overall, 261-180).What to expect: The Clippers have talent, size, athleticism, experience, and versatility. What they desperately need is what one of the league’s highest payrolls can’t buy: a healthy roster. Adding Russell Westbrook, Mason Plumlee and Bones Hyland last season filled holes and gives the team so much depth that playing time will be hard to come by. Lue, a respected tactician, will have to juggle players eager for minutes without letting it affect chemistry. Westbrook, a former NBA MVP, came over from the Lakers and helped speed up the offense, while his hard-charging ways energized the team. “Kawhi and PG are more silent leaders and Russ is more outgoing,” Lue said. “You mix those three guys together, you have great leadership.” The Clippers head into their final season at Crypto.com ...

Rebuilding Jazz have scoring to contend in West, but defense and depth could hold them back

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:06:00 GMT

UTAH JAZZLast season: 37-45, did not qualify for the playoffs.Coach: Will Hardy, second season with the Jazz (37-45 overall).What to expect: Utah made sweeping changes a year ago after trading Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert and the team isn’t done rebuilding. Lauri Markkanen blossoming into a star and Walker Kessler putting together a strong rookie season helped the Jazz be more competitive than expected, but Utah still missed the playoffs for the first time since 2016. Climbing the ladder in a deep and talented Western Conference will be challenging. The Jazz acquired John Collins from Atlanta in a trade to partner with Markkanen and Kessler in the frontcourt, and he is another reliable option on offense. They also extended Jordan Clarkson’s contract after he averaged career highs in points (20.8), assists (4.4) and rebounds (4.0) and fully guaranteed the final season of Kelly Olynyk’s deal to give their young roster some veteran leadership. Point guard is one position that remai...

With tons of youth and almost everybody back, Magic eyeing shot at NBA playoffs

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:06:00 GMT

ORLANDO MAGIC Last season: 34-48, missed playoffs.Coach: Jamahl Mosley (3rd season, 56-108).What to expect: The Magic basically brought everybody back this season — eight of their top nine scorers in terms of total points — and most everyone who started a game. A young team took big steps forward last season and now will be asked to do it again. Expect Orlando to play fast, partly because having so much youth (no expected starter is older than 25) allows it and partly because the team has a ton of guards. One very underrated move was bringing in veteran Joe Ingles over the summer, because now the young team has an older guy who’s been there and done that. Ingles is already showing his value on and off the court, directing traffic when he’s playing and essentially serving as a volunteer assistant coach when he’s not in games. The schedule is tough right away, with eight of the first 13 games on the road (two four-game trips in that span) and two matchups ...

East champion Heat will try to rekindle that playoff magic in ’23-24

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:06:00 GMT

MIAMI HEAT Last season: 44-38, lost to Denver in NBA Finals.Coach: Erik Spoelstra (16th season, 704-491).What to expect: The defending Eastern Conference champions know their window for championships — at least with the roster as currently constructed — is now. Kyle Lowry is 37, Kevin Love is 35, and Jimmy Butler turned 34 last month as well. There are some serious holes to fill as well, particularly in the area of 3-point shooting. Tyler Herro led the team with 203 makes from beyond the arc last season, but the No. 2 and No. 3 Heat players in that department a year ago — Max Strus (197) and Gabe Vincent (117) — now play elsewhere. And 3-point accuracy was an issue for the Heat throughout the regular season, the team’s 34.4% clip ranked only 27th in the 30-team NBA. But it is a team filled with players who know how to rise to playoff occasions; Butler was the best player in the league for long stretches of the 2023 postseason. The question will be how Mi...
