Lots of winnable games, lax schedule and I'm sure the coaching staff is stressing to them to take advantage of the opportunity.



We're really due for a dominant end to end game... I can't even remember the last one I saw. And I hope we're getting in more of these practices at this point of the season...



We could win a lot of these games by 30. But what would be the point? Kawhi is pacing himself and can turn it on at either end like a faucet and he does, but just enough to get the W. Paul George admitted he hasn't been taking it to the hole like he could--out of fear of reinjuring his shoulder, but let's face it, why should he endanger his body against the Sacs or Pisstons when he can help us get the W in so many other ways? [Like 9 assists, 0 turnovers, 10 rebs...]

no real injury but no need to push it

    LOS ANGELES -- LA Clippers forward Paul George left Thursday night's 126-112 victory over the Detroit Pistons with tightness in his left hamstring and did not return.

    George went to the locker room with 3:45 remaining in the second quarter and was ruled out after the third quarter, when the Clippers' lead had ballooned to as much as 30 points.

    The team said George first felt something in his lower back area, but the Clippers are saying the injury is tightness in his left hamstring.

    "Nothing happened [specifically] -- he just felt tightness," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said after the game, when asked if there was one particular play that resulted in the injury. "He said it at halftime and then we just decided not to bring him back. So he's going to be evaluated."

    After the game, George walked out of the locker room without any signs of a limp and appeared to have avoided any serious injury.

Cool. Well I guess Kawhi could play today and PG tomorrow. One of them should be enough for Memphis and NY. :biggrin:

I'm actually looking forward to seeing more of Patterson, I like his menacing intensity. :)
