Oh wassup, Kawhi - we see you

"Doesn't look right" -- mmmhmmm... mmhmm

Kawhi once again stepping up against opposing big talents, and meeting that challenge as more often than not, and in Embiid again here (aka 2019 East semis), and Harden here..

How the hell does Batum shoot the ball like that? It’s like a tap-in goal in soccer. That ball is out of his hands in a HURRY.

Reggie and Morris are to Lue what Jamal, Austin, Lou and Trez were to Doc. They will lose us a playoff series if nothing changes.

Sorry Morris and Reggie should not be in the closing 5. Where is Kennard and Powell? On paper it looks like a decent lineup but there are too many iso first players in that lineup. You have Kawhi, PG, Reggie and Morris all iso first players. It only works if they are all on and when it's not it turns into that ugly stagnated his turn my turn offense.

Good news is we ARE capable of beating the best teams but we need to get these lineups straight.

Morris and Jackson were awful today. They dont work together or with this team. Need to move on with them or Lue will keep playing them

Such a disappointing loss. Wow. 3rd quarter was a disaster. Fought back just to cough it up in embarrassing fashion.

Can’t wait to hear Lue’s postgame comments.

A trade or two need to be made but it’s hard to get excited about it. The wrong guys will probably be used in whatever scenario.

Kennard and Powell likely are still on minutes restriction due to their recent injuries

The west is wide open and the Clippers keep finding ways to not take advantage of it.

The staff needs to figure out how to persuade the players to swing the ball more when it gets stagnant on offense.

This was a bad loss, but a 20 point lead in the first half against a good team on the road is certainly not insurmountable.

Philly has become somewhat underrated. Any team with Harden and Embiid will be tough to eliminate. Give credit to their defense too.


Harden is a great passer. One of the best offensive point guards in the NBA. The Clippers weren't defending Embiid's mid-range shot very well- wide open for most of the game.
