Remember the Jazz game against Gobert. The key was the shooting and drawing Gobert out. Need that this game. Powell is our key shooter so far but that was the blueprint. PG should shoot from the top center he seems to be money there.

I always thought Zubac was a bench guy. PG sucking as usual

Thank goodness for Powell.

Like the activity/energy by Bones.

Paying better attention on defense too.

Clips abandoning the offensive rebound and scrambling to get back on D early. Good coaching--we've been getting killed there. We ARE older and slower than teams like the Wolves and have to cheat this.

ADD: Held them to 16 points in the 2nd. Up by 3 at the half. Well done, boyz.

Read on Twitter


And, he's a good person. Zero ejections. Very important because Wolves may try to exploit this to get back in the game.

(Remember, Clippers automatically lost the ejection checklist after Lue's in the final game before All-Star Break. But they are 2-0 when they draw an ejection on an opponent, and 1-0 when one of their own is tossed. Adversity.)

What would the score be if we didn’t shoot 25 percent that first quarter? We have a game!

Much much better 2nd quarter. Just need to avoid the 3rd quarter blues. Like our chances

Powell got it started and then Leonard picked it up.

Coffey and Bones with some good stuff off the bench. Stat sheet won’t show it but it’s there.

Really need one of PG or Harden to get it going. Preferably both but one is needed.

PG and Harden realize they don’t need to help build Intuit anymore right?

I wonder if PG is washed up and not capable of playing at a high level.

Not having Tucker in there could be the difference in the end

PG 2-9, 2-8 from 3. Seems to be intimidated with getting to the rim and bricking shots.

Harden 0-5 zubac 0-1

Yet we are still winning.

PG not attacking like he was against the Wizards. Just settling for way too many 3’s.

Seriously. What are PG and a harden doing out there?

Who the heck is going to step up and help Leonard and Powell?

I heard someone say this so i dont take credit but PG doesnt have a go to move. Harden, Kawhi can get their high percentage shots without much effort. PG losing his elite athleticism and now skills have to take over. His handle is pretty loose so he regularly loses it. Hes still a good defender but takes a lot of series off and doesnt bring it every night. He generally has his best games vs poor defensive teams.

It’s awful. I feel like we’re fighting for our lives in game 7 on the road and we’re only up 1.

Thank you Powell. Bi 3 after big 3.
