You couldn't script a better must-win game. Great team win.

there were a few guys who seemed to know what was up. he basically just needed to be put on to the right team in the right role.

we have a stretch of must wins. We need to get separation from the rockets. Rockets play celtics tomorrow, hope the celtics win.

Avoid the trap game on Sunday

Read this on Laker Reddit 8-)

This is insane: Vs the nuggets, Kawhi Leonard, Marcus Morris Sr. and Landry Shamet are a combined 2-of-15 from three and the Clippers are up by 25 in the fourth quarter.

SO MUCH DEPTH

We ate those Nuggets like we ordered from the Dollar Menu

As I mentioned in the GB, Reggie Jackson has been better than I imagined so far, if it continues the pickup will be looking better than expected.

Every piece of the cog did their part tonight, great win.

yeah. i feel like while morris's impact has been solid, jackson's impact has changed the bench.

Boring game, live... and I was just fine with that.
The Clippers took charge and kept the Nuggets in their rear-view most of the game.

Huge game/huge win from the Playoff seeding standpoint, especially. Denver is the most troubling to face without having Home Court adv for the series.

Wasn't an issue for Portland last year. Denver doesn't have Superstars that know when to take over games. Jokic is great but he's passive at times where they need him the most and he's not a two way player. I can't see them beating any team with superstars

Maybe unless mpj gets more minutes and turned into KD

Dwight wouldn't be making a difference when Jokic is making shots like this:

Watch on YouTube

Jump to the 4:53 mark if you're interested to see just how well Dwight played jokic. Active hands, strength. It's much more better than just hands up defense

Partly not zu's fault. He's just not as strong or mobile to be switched like that.

But I always hated the hands up, let me launch my midsection at you but claim verticality defense lol. It's fine honestly but I wish Zu was more defensively sound against more skilled players.

Maybe in due time

I hope clipper fans realize this team has a chance to be special. Lob city was never really dominant or showed a level of required focus like this. No one's pointing fingers in the locker room when they lose. They have the make up of championship contenders. Enjoy the ride.

Lob city couldn't come out and make a statement like this.

We are riding with and witnessing one of the greatest teams ever assembled, and led by the Michael Jordan of our time.
Fandom does not get better than what we are experiencing right now.

Machine looks good when it's all healthy.

Doesn't really get better than last night.
No back to backs in the next 5. Hoping we can get on a roll here and get the second seed at minimum.

Kinda frustrating that after that win we are still in 3rd.

I'm more so looking forward to the Houston game than the Lakers game. I want the rockets to get the message not to mess with us

Jokic is the only dependable playoff performer on that team. He dragged them to that series win against the Spurs last year by himself, when the Spurs were practically begging to lose. I honestly think we would have beaten them.
