PG looked vertical. I will give the team credit everytime it looked like we were going to blow it we came through the last minute. Of course had some luck involved.

On another note the 76ers commentary is hilarious. I'd listen to then every game.

Good tough win after a very bad start.

NBA has to do something about the long reviews though. Killing the end of games. The Lakers - Warriors game a couple weeks back was an absolute embarrassment.

Kawhi was fouled numerous times earlier in the game that weren't called. I understand why Sixers fans would be upset though.

I think he was too. Leave it to the Clippers to win the tip, then not secure the the tip and have to get lucky. But we really needed this one and Kawhi reminding us who is the man on this team. I'll take it, let's make it 2 in a row now.

The 0-2 Clippers Return! 

Post#27 » by Wammy Giveaway » Thu Mar 28, 2024 2:13 am

Every time they lose back-to-back games, they win the third one. Always avoid three-game losing streaks because it's akin to a 3-0 deficit where no team ever comes back from in a playoff series.

Just this month alone, Clippers have prevented 3-game losing streaks three times!

1. Lose to Bucks and Timberwolves, win vs. Bulls (March 10-14)
2. Lose to Pelicans and Hawks, win vs. Blazers (March 15-20)
3. Lose to 76ers and Pacers, win vs. 76ers (March 24-27)

That's the secret recipe: purposely lose two in a row, then win the third one to prevent a 3-game losing streak.

Yep, the Clippers are back.

Too many times during the game we were within a bucket of tying, but blew the possession and then next thing we were down 7 again. Glad we were finally able to get over that hump. So glad Kawhi drove down 105-107 rather than putting up a 3. The And 1 was a welcome bonus.

Although it does remind me of the Rockets game at the start of the season with the win with seconds left I'll believe they are back when we put on a win streak.

I would argue that the refs blew the prior review when they didn't call Maxey for an offensive foul. He clearly put his forearm into Coffey. Ty should have requested the review be for an offensive foul. Would have changed how they reviewed.

PG was vertical on that last shot attempt by Oubre. Good win! PG stepped up in the 4th and Kawhi closed it out for us. Just how its supposed to be. Good games Mann, Coffey and Norm. Why can't Coffey and Mann play like this every night? Just be "those guys" they're supposed to be. Its wide open for them to do so.. just take advantage of the opportunity.

I'm not even sure it should have been called a jump ball- looked like Kawhi just blocked the shot and Harden recovered it

This was a big victory. You have to give credit to the Sixers- they were hitting pressure 3s in the 4th- Maxey, Batum, and Hield. Took everything the Clippers had to win this one. I liked their effort

It was briefly a wedgie, whistle blew--jump ball

Ty Lue called this team soft after the last loss

Kawhi said during the post game interview that they played hard and won. That’s what it takes to win an NBa game.

That teams compete in the NBA and you have to play hard to win. There is too much talent and teams want to win games. No one is going to let you win any games.

I actually thought they were a bit lethargic. Honestly PGs play is pretty encouraging. I'm pretty sure Kawhi will be very good even though he missed a ton of easy looks yesterday. My biggest concern is the bigs. Idk what happened. I think Lue doesn't know what to do. When the team was winning all 3 had strings of good games. Now it's pretty bad. Got outplayed thoroughly by mo Bamba. Nasty work.

Screw the sixers and the calls they didn't get. And of all people Oubre? How many times this season alone did Kawhi not get the benefit? I'm not shedding any tear for anyone here.
