what paul george wearing, man

Shall we do a youth assessment?

Mann is starting to turn into something special once more for the team. As of right now I'm not sure Preston has a future with the team. I just don't see it with him. Diabate needs more minutes with the main team. He'll improve with each game he plays in. I'd put Brandon Boston a head of Coffey in the rotation. Moses Brown doesn't move the needle hardly at all. RoCo could be trade bait and Wall is a head scratcher

I’m more upset with the league for giving the clippers such a horrible schedule than the team for resting these guys.

Ballmer should have just moved the clippers into the Forum for two years so they wouldn’t have to deal with this garbage

i had a somewhat similar thought about going to a different arena lol

honestly the league can go **** itself with these idiotic schedules. i 100% agree with any and all teams that feel the need to rest their players on b2b's. they needed to be abolished years ago

Give credit to the Suns- they clearly wanted to break their losing streak and played like it was game 7 of a playoff series.

Seemed like they couldn't miss in that first half.

Morris even scored for them in the 3rd quarter! How did that go in?

Bridges couldn't throw the ball in the ocean in their previous game, but could shoot blind folded against the Clippers.

Few teams have cold nights against the Clippers for whatever reason.

Clippers #3 Drtg, 4th in opponent FG% and 5th in opponent 3PT% suggests that it's actually happening more for us than the vast majority of the league.

Problem of course is that Clippers probably shoot just as poorly as the opponent in all those games so it doesn't feel like it.

I understand the stats, but it felt like the suns could shoot from behind their backs in the first half and it would still go in

Yea, hot first half, pretty poor second half shooting wise, but the lead was so large it didn't matter. I'm just remarking that while it feels that way for us, for most of the rest of the league their fans would actually perceive even more that teams are always hot against them.

So far this season, the league is at the highest eFG% and Ortg of all time, so I guess everyone is hot but the Clippers

quite true- shooting and athleticism is at all time high. If you don't defend properly, you will give up 150 points to good teams
