Our bench has been stinking it up in the 4th all we need to do is burn some clock

Man I'm trippin'. I was looking at the standings and wondered why it wasn't updated yet...It's technically not over.

That win clinches a playoff spot for us boys.

FOUR STRAIGHT PLAYOFF APPEARANCES FOR OUR CLIPPERS!

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Just glad we got the win and took care of business again. And I did pick up Noel on my fantasy team so that helped. Also we clinched a playoff spot for the 4th year in a row (It's just refreshing to have a winner and I really appreciate what we have in our Clippers)

I expect us to do the same thing tonight we did Wed vs the Knicks.

You'll quickly notice we are nothing like the embarrassing Knicks team.

6ers at least give effort, and I think Noel/Embid has potential to be an excellent big man tandem, was more speaking of the difference in talent currently, that I expected a relatively easy game.

Sorry Bruins fans.

This Elite 8 life isn't for everybody.

Thought UNC had it last night. Up 7 around 10 min to go, wasn't meant to be. I didn't expect a win though, it was a good game and I look forward to that whole group coming back next year. Hopefully Winconsin can take down Kentucky in the Final 4 bc ND definitely isn't going to.

Memphis lost tonight. Only 2gb of them. Portland tied with Phx, 5 min left. Houston won

“I started it,” Rivers said. “I made fun of him. I made fun of Blake, how he comes down and dribbles through his legs sometimes and he’ll do that little Eurostep. And then he was like, ‘Do you want to see Austin Rivers moves?’ and then Matt pulled out his camera. If people can’t understand that was a joke, then I can’t help them. They have to be smarter than that. I mean, come on. You really think they’re going to hurt my feelings?”

I And1 this bc of Barnes comment. I'm ready for playoffs already

[og15]

Not to call anyone out, but in the spirit of Clippers players clowning each other, let us all take a moment to clown one of our own

With Blake out for a while, we'll get an opportunity to see that CP3 "leadership" in action. Remember, this team didn't miss a beat with Blake in the alpha role while CP3 was out for over a month last year. I highly doubt that will be the case with Blake out this year.

Hey, look, let's not even account for the difference in replacing CP with a starting caliber PG vs replacing Blake with a Byron Mullens caliber Hawes before we make a statement like that, but c'mon bruh...

Philadelphia head coach Brett Brown sees it.

He looks at Doc Rivers. He looks at Chris Paul. He looks at Blake Griffin. He looks at DeAndre Jordan. He looks at the uptick on defense and the continued excellence on offense.

He knows.

“You sort of think they can be what they want to be,” he said Friday. “They’re that good on both sides of the ball. The playoffs bring it all out. This time of year brings it all out.”
...

“I’m rolling with everybody in this locker room. I like our team, and I like our chances,” Griffin said. “But we have to play the right way. We have to all play hard. We have to really take ownership defensively.”
...

On Wednesday, Rivers dreamt up an illness to allow assistant Mike Woodson, a former Knicks coach, to speak for the team in New York. And Friday, Rivers responded to a question about Jordan Hamilton’s defense by wondering if he was “allergic” to playing any.
