Clippers have 2 of the best thieves in the basketball floor............
I was trying to comprehend your statement but I got stuck with this, what do you mean by best thieves? And who are these players?

I'm pretty sure he's referring to Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, one of the best defenders in the league.

As per "thieves", he probably meant on-ball defense/steals (PG13 finished first last year avg 2.2 steals per game, Kawhi also in top 10 with 1.8  )

I see, I thought he was referring to Patrick Beverley as one guy but I don't know the other guy.

He is the only player I know in the team who are very defensive in guarding his opponent and he even pissed Durant when this two teams played back in the last playoffs.

Patrick's defense is way different. He is one of a kind. He keeps on making offensive players get grumpy until their game becomes too bad they cannot make any more good shot anymore.
He ain't really going to steal the ball unlike PG13 and Kawhi which look like they have a third eye and knows where the ball will go.

But as of an addition to defense, yes Patrick Beverley is in good position even defending bigger guys.
I will root for the Clippers if there will be a game against the Lakers.
