NBA’s best have been manhandled twice in a row in the Cali trip. Will probably be 3rd straight tomorrow since the Lakers love to feast on Clipper leftovers.

Ty gave serious minutes to NINE players tonight. Then gave the garbage time to Diabate, Brown, Coffey and Boston.

NBA courtesy is that you don't put a respected veteran into garbage time. Not playing RoCo in garbage time tonight with the G-Leaguers was a sign of respect.

Yeah--Didn't check it out but somebody pointed out the Lakers keep getting opps after a game with us on the second night of a back-to-back. On the road too.

Seems like every other Lakers game is a team coming off a back-to-back with us.

Statement win. Kawhi needed this one badly and he got it. Watching two very good duos battling it out was awesome. I'm going to sleep better tonight.

Great team effort. The defense was active and alive !

Paul George played aggressive and did not settle for only threes and jump shots. He is at his best when attacking the basket , mixing it up with shooting.

Kawhi played an excellent game +23

Kawhi back in the starting lineup, drops 25, Clippers win by 20. They should be able to sort out their consistency issues now and become a more dangerous team

Man we've been waiting for a game like this all season. Great team effort. Lets build upon this and go on a winning streak!

I was just hoping for a fun competitive game, like most against the Celtics from recent memory. Was not expecting an actual blowout. We even managed to GIVE NO QUARTER.

On the downside, Chuck didn't get his ball signed by Kawhi after the game, but I guess you can't have them all.

Who is this team and what have they done with this year's Clippers? This game was a very pleasant surprise and a huge improvement over just about everything else we've seen this year. Let's hope it's the start of a trend and not just a fluke.

This team has been battling injuries all year with guys going in and out of lineups. In spite of that they've 15 or 16 wins. Yeah 20 wins sounds better but let's be realistic. The league is tougher today than ever and you simply cannot win with your superstars on the bench.
The season is just beginning for this team and they're right in the hunt.

Kawhi and PG need to come in ready and focused and show why they are Max players on this Clippers team.

I don't think that's happening. Kawhi is shooting 17% from the 3 point line, has a total of 1 block and 1 steal in the last 6 games. Averaging 1 foul a game.

His three-point shot looks flat and I am no NBA player, but I would say it is due to not enough lift from the legs.
Slowly , he will get back into form. Maybe tonight we see 25 points from him.

No one gonna acknowledge the call on Kawhi’s game? 8-)

I sensed that he would come out motivated and break the 20 points mark. Last few games he has score in the high teens. It made sense to say 25 as the goal.

He looked great and those shots were no longer flat. Glad to have him back !

This is an after the fact observation & I watched the game live…
We match up good against the Celtics. Our 2 stars are definitely capable of matching or exceeding what their 2 stars can do. Then throw in everyone else we have and we’re fine against them. Maybe not every time but it’s no given they’re gonna beat us.
Unlike say the Grizzlies or Warriors!

But given time and health this season we won’t get rolled by them anymore either

Agreed. A 7 game finals would be an instant classic.
