OKC Thunder – LA Clippers series poses major matchup issues

Continuing the OKC Thunder 30 for 30 roundtable series the writing team arrives at question 23. Unlike the prospect of facing the Jazz or Rockets, the LA Clippers are a different beast altogether.

Adding to the drama of this pairing is this iteration of the Thunder came about primarily based on Paul George requesting a trade to the Clippers this past offseason.

The resulting effect was the dismantling of a Thunder club led by two superstars and the launch of a new era with a closet full of draft picks, a cornerstone asset in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and two veterans (Chris Paul and Danilo Gallinari) who debatably form the most well-rounded starting rotation in franchise history.
