based on how he let jamal crawford do anything he wanted (while blake and cp3 were on the floor no less) i imagine he'll let lou do the same.

I don't care that he's gotten to the rim a few times here, Lou should not be closing games for this team. Bev/PG/Kawhi/Morris/Zu or Trez. That's it.

agreed, but at least this time doc kept patbev in the game. hies the best rebounder on this team(minus zu of course)

Doc's Reggie obsession defies all logic and reason.

This is not that great of a win. Kawhi and PG should have been resting by the third quarter. Anyway, another win. Hope the clippers build on it.

Kawhi leadership is awesome.

A win's a win, but that was not a good performance at all. Doc's coaching was atrocious tonight.

Talent carried us to victory tonight, definitely has nothing to do with Glenn Fraud Rivers' coaching.

Not a good win, but good consider lob city would have folded and be blown out by 30 after that run. The leadership of kawhi got them back in the game. I think the role players will get confidence heading into the other games. Kawhi is going to calm them boys down. You already hear PG talking about following his lead. I've never heard PG accept publicly he was the second best player. They're buying in.

Jamal got a bad rap. The Clippers bench was ass. Jamal was the only one who wanted the ball. His teammates loved him.

Same with Lou--who finished plus+3 despite playing so many minutes with minus-19 Shamet, minus-14 J-Myke, and a rusty Trezz.

Major props for Marcus Senior tonight--19 points on 8-13 shooting and a team-high plus+25. HE took the minutes at the 5 tonight to close out the game.

I don't care about the past. Some of you are more clipper lifers than me, I'm more on the bandwagon because Kawhi is my favorite player. That being said, They need Kawhi to be the go-to guy down the stretch. This lou getting his own shot down the stretch or running it through other players is not the bussiness. It's Kawhi and PG. Better Kawhi first because he's a better playmaker. He opens up so much more.

They're going to build on the win. I know it. I was a fan of lob city but not like some of you. I never bought into lob city at all.

Clippers took their foot off the gas after they went up early. They thought the game was about to be easy. Also, Dallas hit 12 threes in the first half but finished with 15. Their first half shooting wasn't the norm. I actually think the Clippers come back Wednesday focused and possibly blow them out. This was a nice wake up call
