Bad turnover b Batum then the offensive foul and technical on Bogi.

Falling apart.

Can’t afford to rest Leonard too long.

Harden picked the wrong game to have one of his worst shooting nights.

Zu beasting.

Most fans probably chugging a beer. I’m nursing pepto. This game man.

Game ball to Leonard, Zu, and Bogi.

Impressive win. Sheesh. Wasn’t confident after the start.

give him a day off after this effort. Kawhi actually played hard tonight. May have been the first game all year where he played hard on both ends. Cleveland is amazing offensively. First time i have watched them all year. Lots of scorers but we outlasted them with some grind. We were tougher than them and we took their punches and fought back.

Impressive win with contributions from so many.

Biggest win of the season. Zu 28/20, thank you Magic Johnson. Is Kawhi the king of efficiency officially back? I hope this is not a tease. Feel happy for Bogi. I think he's finally settling in. Having Kawhi and Norm back healthy takes pressure off him for sure.

Fantastic effort tonight. They fought hard played 48 minutes finally. Great games for Zu, Bogi and Kawhi. I feel like games like this can springboard the team to go on a run. Is it possible to start looking at the next set of hard teams as being fully winnable games? Dare to dream!

P.S wondering if they've been playing better because:
A)They finally have a healthy squad
B) Ty Lue hasn't been around and Stan and Shaw have them playing better
C) Just happened to play a good game today again
D) All of the above

Darkhorse if healthy. Just pray for health at this point. Best win of the season and a legitimate statement game.

I was at the game and the place was f*cking packed and rocking! Intuit Dome is f*cking awesome! Don't let any scumbag POS on here or anywhere tell you otherwise. That place is a shrine and cathedral and soon to be monument!


-as for the game, I'm currently filling out apology forms to Bogdan and Kawhi. Kawhi, wow, he's a game changer. Zu is officially a top center in the league and will be on the all star ballot next season. Good contributions all around. Great win. Epic game in an epic venue! We're watching this Cleveland, Memphis, OKC, and NY four game stretch closely. One down and four more to go!

Thanks for the shoutout, chum. Try to be a bit less obvious and hostile next time? :(

Good to hear the place was full for the GAME OF THE YEAR so far. But tickets have been going for cheap. I questioned Ballmer's marketing strategy. Still do.

Great win. As I said above, this was the Clippers' first no-excuses game all year. Glad they met the challenge. Kawhi had a season high 33 after coasting all year and Zu's 28 and 20 was sick. Bogi was 8-8 and 4-4. You're going to win 9 times out of 10 with even one guy putting up those numbers, let alone three.

Kawhi's been slow walking it all year. But jeez, he's tried everything else. Fans have been waiting to do their part.

Let's see what happens with the Grizz, Thunder and Knicks coming in. School's out.

I wasn't talking to you. Why would I be talking about you? You don't even live in LA. You didn't see the Intuit Dome thread months ago on the general board in the main forum? A lot of Intuit Dome bashing. Come on man, everything isn't directed at you.

Well, that's a relief. And no, I don't read the general board. But yes, I live in LA and watch every game on my 70-inch and have noticed a lot of empty seats all year.

Kawhi thanks you for your support.

What a win, beating a team tied with the best record in the NBA during the final push for the playoffs has to do a lot for the team's confidence.

Vintage Kawhi with his Jordan-esque midrange jumpers, Zu looking like a candidate for MIP, and a great game by Bogi... His recent play has been a pleasant surprise... He provides experience and leadership, and now that he seems to have found his shot again, damn he could be key piece for the bench.

Once Norm gets back to his pre-injury form, this team has a shot against anyone. Just need to load manage and pray to the basketball gods for Kawhi to remain healthy.

Grizz are up next, who are 5-5 in their last 10. Clips need to keep it going and extend the streak to 5.
