Clippers: 3rd game in 4 nights

Curry complaining because his teammates are not stopping them. The next time he stops someone might be his first. If not for Draymond and Iggy anchoring their defense, he would likely be the greatest Title-less shooter in NBA history.

I won't mind seeing if Harden can or will try to carry a larger scoring load if PG is out. Our health has been good, we added Russ and James to help take some load off PG and Kawhi.

Green is out for the remainder of the season until he can prove fit to play. Without Green, Warriors are a lottery team; could even be blown up and rebuild.

But let's not forget who's on Golden State: Chris Paul. Very possible he will fill in the Green void. And he wants revenge on the Clippers for ruining his Hall Of Fame legacy; already he's defeated them twice in the playoffs. Clippers will need to check up on their former savior at all times; if they let him have a twilight renaissance, not only will Clippers lose this game, Warriors will be resurrected and back in the playoff race.

I am still not convinced Clippers will take down the Warriors without Green, they're more likely to take pity on them and play down to their level; they have a history of doing that. With every game important due to the risk of losing all their superstars to free agency and a forced rebuild upon the horizon, Clippers are forced to win the title in order to keep this roster together.

One way to prove they're a serious contender: get a perfect December. Currently 5-0, with eight games left in the month. They have done it before in the 2012-13 season, they can do it again. In fact, they must do it again.

I have no doubt Klay and Wiggins will look like all stars again, for tonight.

Nice response after taking quick ones on the chin.

Harden is back, folks. His drive to the basket is back. 71% FGA at the hoop. Now he just stuck the step-back 3. Next he drove to the hoop and dished off to KobeB for a gimme.

I watched him all last year with the Sixers and he was very good. But this is that SICK Beard of legend.

Just stuck another 3 as I type this...

ADD: 11 points and 7 assists, 3 minutes into the 2ndQ :-o

well, if this game doesn't tell you why the team went after harden, i don't know what will

3 sick passes (one of which was a highlight reel one), 2 step back 3's, blah blah

i think more interesting to me, though, is how the defense is moving with theis/brown on the floor together. they're moving so well in tandem, and the other guys are keeping up (even harden). yeah the team is expected to be better offensively with harden, but the defense is really coalescing, and maybe has a chance to be special.

Harden doing a little of everything. Good grief.

They’re so worried about Curry they’re leaving capable shooters open.

You’re letting the Warriors hang around.

I'm at the point where I trust this team to take care of business night in and night out. Of course they won't win every game but the team has been locked in and the effort is always there.

Hell of a block by Russ. Gotta keep Steph in foul trouble

The answer is YES HE CAN.
