Game 51: Los Angeles Clippers (35-15) vs. Miami Heat (34-15) - 10:00 PM ET

Dammit Beverly groin still bother him. Needs to drop out of the skills competition and rest. We need another guard so he can take some games off

[Kelphus]

And just like that, midway through 3d, we're up by 10. A three-fest.

and Miami trying to land Gallinari, after already landing Iggy? Wow. They're legit.

I agree with the comment about our centers. We really have two decent backups. Zu some day may mature into a really good (I don't see great) center ... DJ sucked big time for a handful of years and then got better. I don't see us getting a starting center before noon PST tomorrow.

But we have such talent everywhere else... Even if we don't make a move if PG13 really gels, we are in the conversation.. oh and don't we have the 3d best record in the NBA with a team that has played 5 whole games with its roster intact (counting tonight)?

maybe patbev needs load management. His groin always acts up when the team is about to go on a back to back. Just rest him half of the remaining back to backs.

[Yogatti]

We're getting darren collison so no worries if Pat Bev needs load management

he needs load management and I'm not kidding. we have 4 sets of b2b lefts. He needs to rest in at least half of those.

[NippySudz]

why can't the bench get anything going? both offensively and defensively right now?

Yeah his health should be high priority

[Yogatti]

Adebayo is such a great player. He's like a better version of draymond green

[TheNewEra]

Bench y’all can do it finish them off and how is Amir not in the rotation over McGruder???

Do is crazy explosive for his size on and off the ball

[NippySudz]

if there's ever a game where zu deserves 4th quarter mins, its definitely this game. Harrell is giving the team nothing offensively and nothing defensively. Zu deserves this one.

[Yogatti]

Midget Trezz -6
MacGruder -10

My god.....

Because they simply aren't good. McGruder shouldn't ever be seeing the court outside of garbage time, but he's Doc's new Jamal/Austin/Avery.

i'm talking about outside of him and I don't buy that. I doubt mcgruder will see playoff time. In our big games, (lakers) he hasn't played one lick. I won't be surprised if he's gone by tomorrow.

3rd quarters have been looking good lately, I like a lot.

37-22 tonight
31-19 vs SA
36-31 vs Min
24-21 vs Sac
31-20 vs Orl
38-20 vs Miami last time

I'm personally wondering whatever happened with Walton Jr. He was actually playing well and then he suddenly stopped getting minutes as soon as his contract became guaranteed for the year. He couldn't possibly do worse than some of the scrubs Doc's been playing.

McGruder is the type of guy that falls out of the rotation in the post-season. Guys like him only play in the regular season in order to keep minutes down for main guys. Guys like him you're just looking for neutral play at best.

he's a end of the bench player. did you see the way dragic was playing in the first half? at least mcgruder gives them some size. Both won't be factors in the playoffs.

[MartinToVaught]

I'm getting real tired of having to pray we don't blow it in the 4th because Doc doesn't value defense at all and is too stubborn to play his best players when it matters.

[NippySudz]

exactly Why I didn't want kawhi settling for threes.

I think he's only taken one midrange shot. Mix it up.
