GAME 72: Clippers (47-24) @ Thunder (21-50)— Sunday 8PM PDT

Serge is like, what am I doing with these kids out here???

[madmaxmedia]

Luke Kennard always looks like he just got out of bed.

[RingColluder]

Wow! Reggie Jackson with the -13 and Beverly with the -12.


And look at that! Terrence Mann with the +5.


I guess +/- really does say who the best PG is to play in the playoffs...

[madmaxmedia]

I feel like OKC is really playing out of their heads right now, their execs in their box must be besides themselves. A lot is riding on this game for them.

Beverly hitting shots now

no start Scrubb [+12] and Oturu [+14]

[Quake Griffin]

So, the objective is to win tonight?

It's hard to say there's any objective, other than our guys on the floor are playing to win. OTOH OKC is highly motivated to lose, and I imagine in the 2nd half we'll pull away.

I personally want us to end the season as the #3 seed with a nicely symmetrical 48-24 record. Who we'll play is who'll play...

So are you admitting plus minus is flawed then?

Beverly continues to play awful and now even by your +/- enthusiasm he is failing. You don't need to keep doubling down esq..

And Scrubb and Oturu haven't proven enough that Mann has throughout these months. At some point it's time to admit the obvious.

So the choice seems to be A) play the Mavs in the first round and put off the Lakers until a conference final (if we lose tonight); or B) play the (probably) easier matchup in the Blazers but maybe see the Lakers in Round 2. I’m not sure it matters, if we make it past round 1 I think we see the Lakers and Jazz in some order to get to the Finals.

There is no objective since none of the main players played besides Bev and Reggie

Can we please stop running away from the Lakers? We should embrace playing them not be ducking.


I'll take the matchup that takes less games so we aren't as tired for round 2 if we make it. So I guess that's the Trailblazers, but I foresee both going at least 6 games..

[TheNewEra]

So far a showing with knocking off rust

[MartinToVaught]

I don't think they care either way, honestly.

[esqtvd]

Beverly hitting shots now

11 points 3 assists

BEV IS BACK!!

[TheNewEra]

Scrubb and Oturu with nice chemistry

[og15]

Objective, just play

[esqtvd]

Scrubb and Oturu with nice chemistry

It's obvious that 3 games into his career, Scrubb has already surpassed Mann. We should also think about benching Ibaka, who's obviously finished. Oturu is ready.

[TheNewEra]

Clips must be content with losing this one running all of these Oturu plays
