Good game to get PJ some minutes.

Maybe he can be something off the bench going forward, and be a situational threat at least.

PG needed a rest game too.

He got smacked good in the head. The fall was concerning too.

He has the worst whistle.

I'm so tired of PG. He's not a winner and not worth even half the contract he's demanding.

Does anyone plan to step up when Leonard is aggressively double teamed like this? Its only going to be more so in the playoffs.

I don't even know what the identity of this team is anymore. Your superstar is shooting 5-7 and the sad part is he's taken only 7 shots? As many as Mann? WTF? I'm glad that Mann is playing well but this is just crazy.
And PG is just lost. All that talent but no mental strength to go with it.

Out offense is so damn predictable. There's no slashing, cutting moving without the ball. We have way too many offensive weapons and there's no way we should be losing to this team. Let's hope they own from here on out.

Good third quarter - time to put them away and on to Sac at home to continue the momentum..

There's hardly a moment when you don't find yourself saying that.

Impressed with how hard this Memphis team plays. No matter who is on the floor.

Our team? Not so much.

T-Mann won us a game. Good on him.

The rest is a mess. PG and Beard were 6-20 combined with 9 turnovers.

Atleast we played some clutch defense at the end. Hope to see more of that going forward

A win is a win. I never expected an easy game tonight, with JJJ and Kennard back in the lineup, 2nd of a b2b.

T-Mann was sensational, filling the lack of scoring from PG and Harden. Harden struggled with his shot but ended up hitting the biggest shot of the game. Alot of work to do, especially PG and Harden, but glad we got this win.

A Flair For The Dramatic 

Post#20 » by Wammy Giveaway » Sat Feb 24, 2024 3:27 am

Clippers are still trying to win dramatically, thinking it's some sort of underdog sports movie. They need to embrace their Big 3 identity of power and invincibility instead of making things hard for themselves for the sake of attention.

One of these days, a team is going to see right through their Hollywood fakery and use it against them.
