The Covid Clips are seeded 9th in the Region, top 5 in 2020 in both offense and defense.  I'm not sure we've seen 4 starters with PER 20+ prior to now. 28 year old Kawhi leads the way. It's the last Clips team standing.

It's been worth speculating that even a middling 2020 team might whip one of the all time legendary teams; here we are - ultramodern teams just shoot so many threes that if they find the net at any type of clip (pun intended) it's a long day.
