Game#18 Jazz @ Clippers Monday 11/21 7:30pm

They kept their heads down and secured the win. Jackson and Powell deserve the game ball.

Zu, Batum, and Coffey deserve a lot of credit too.

Batum +15
Powell +15
Coffey +12
Kawhi +12

Reggie +3 and Zu minus-3 but they each played 35 minutes and got dragged down by

Mann minus-10
Marcus minus-16

Wall finished at zero but he was plus+13 at the half and a disastrous 5 minutes in the 3rd quarter wiped it all out
8 TOs tonight

very weird

Jazz’s 10-3 start was a fluke. They’re slowly remembering they’re supposed to be in the Wemby sweepstakes. Jordan Clarkson can’t be your best player if you want to be a playoff team.

[Roscoe Sheed]

I'm happy they were able to rally after blowing the big lead.

Jackson and Powell played very well.

I'm concerned about Wall's turnovers though. He needs to be more careful with his passes.

11-7

half-game out of 1st

Hope we can steal one against the Warriors

Great team effort. Wall was out of control with those turnovers . Morris for all his good play this season , keep leaving players open on three point shots which gave Utah that lead in the 3rd.

Morris not betting back on defense a couple of times led to more scoring by Utah.

Kawhi looks like that old man playing in pick up games that just plays to sweat and once in a while will get a bucket.

There was a stretch were Utah had two bigs and Clippers were getting torched in the paint by rebounds and layups.

Very happy with the win. Great games by Powell and Jackson.

[PeteyPablo]

I have not watched any Warriors games this season but judging by the general board comments , their bench is lacking scoring and defense.

If Clippers come out with the urgency to win , they will win.

Huge win. Think it's safe to say that the season has officialy started for Norm.

It's hard to believe we're only a half-game out of first place considering how this team looked until the last two games. I guess it helps that there isn't really a standout team in the west right now and every non-tanking team is pretty much on the same level.

The Jazz are the real deal. They've had a brutal schedule so far and even in the losses like last night, they've still passed the eye test. They're what our 2018-19 team could have looked like with an actual coach instead of Glenn.

My apologies to Norm. I just didn't know what to make of his game and how he fit team wise last season and the first 15 games of this season. Reggie is starting to turn it up and it looks like it's going to take a while for Kawhi to get back into form. The offense is finally looking dangerous and entertaining. I want a win at Golden State badly

I think both Norm and Reggie can be streaky (especially Reggie), we're probably going to go through multiple hot and cold stretches over the course of the season. I think if Norm was just a couple of inches taller he'd be a dominant NBA scorer (and not on our team!), but when he gets it rolling he's not just knocking down 3's but taking it to the hoop too which is sorely needed.

Man all my teams lost heartbreakers the last couple of days (UCLA, Chargers, Argentina), at least glad the Clippers pulled it out LOL.

Luckily Coffey's hustle helped us keep up our D in the end. He can't do everything Morris can, but he can do some things Morris can't.

I'd like to think Kawhi is just taking it really slow to work his way back into shape and into fitting into the team, but he does look pretty stationary so far. Fingers crossed...

[clipperlover]

Anyone else not believe that Paul George is hurt? Seems to me, they found a good time to rest him and work on some line-up combinations as Kawhi works himself back.

norm is going to look streaky at times i agree. but that's ok, because you know what you're getting with him and he's not a core offensive component. additionally we have infinite scoring so even if he dips there's firepower waiting in the wings

[PeteyPablo]

Clippers have the second-best defense as of now. Their offense feeds off of the defense. Kawhi draws double teams so the other guys know to stay alert and locked in because open shots are going to be there.

3 weeks ago, Clippers would have been blown out by Utah playing without PG and having Kawhi playing limited.

But now we are starting to see the versatile attack that the Clippers have.

[LamarWho]

Other guys on the team are getting better shots, since our opponents are guarding Kawhi like he's already back at 100%. They don't guard PG the same way even when he's on a hot streak.
