Russ is instantly our third best box-outter.

Is that our largest offensive half of the season?

excellent sequence by westbrook

absolutely zooms to the basket (off top of my head i feel like that was faster than wall?) for a nice bucket.

on the other end he BOXES a dude out (honestly been waiting to see his impact on the rebounding side of things all night)

goes to the other side, pressures/passes and powell cans an open 3. good results so far

Dang, a 40/40 in the first half by the Clippers. Unfortunately, they let the Kings go for 40/36 as well. Gotta step up the defense in the second half, but otherwise looks good so far.

Small ball getting crushed

1 rebound, one box out without a rebound.

That's it got Mook

ideally he closes up shop for the night if that's the case

Defense optional but thankful to have the lead

Doesn't matter what the rest of the roster looks like, PG and Lue will be the reasons why we don't win anything.

ARE WE HAVING FUN YET?

Wow 80pt half, when was the last time that happened? So far so good for Russ, no complain here. Feel bad for Bones, but we all know he's the odd man out in the rotation.

Hate seeing PG running the point despite Russ is on the court. Ty Belichick just doesn't learn. WTF is MMSr doing out there? Dude literally can't guard a chair.

Key to the second. Attack sabonis he has 4 fouls already

Bobbymcgee · Post #94 » by **Bobbymcgee** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 4:56 am

Would be nice to see Covington get some time on the court with Zubac out. Or is Covington still the Clippers secret weapon for the playoffs or whatever?

ejftw · Post #95 » by **ejftw** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 4:59 am

There's my first Russ wtf are you doing moment, but I'll consider letting it slide to not knowing his teammates that well, yet.

Kawhi is just a cyborg today

Scoundreldays · Post #96 » by **Scoundreldays** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 5:00 am

Westbrook with two 3 points attempts this game but they weren't bad looks, just unlucky rim outs.

MartinToVaught · Post #97 » by **MartinToVaught** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 5:00 am

Russ is already a thousand times better than Wall.

nickhx2 · Post #98 » by **nickhx2** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 5:02 am

i know (or i think) it's not a scripted offensive set, but

paul george driving to dish backwards to westbrook who then dishes to kawhi has happened more times than i can count so far. and to quite positive effect.

it's pretty simple and you can't hate it too much since it's not like they had all that time to work on things. easily counterable and way too reliant on paul george not losing his handle or teams simply leaving westbrook open. but if it works you gotta keep doing it!

Kings shooting 60%--defense optional lol

this is a different team already just because everybody is knocked back to their proper roles
Westbrook the energy guy and bring the ball up with pace
PG has 3 assists and 1 TO instead of pretending to be a point guard
Kawhi is on 5 instead of 10

nobody can play play 100%
100% of the time

now Kawhi coming alive to make HIS statement
and PG nails a bomb, 5-8 from three

Clips up by ELEVEN

basically the Clippers have replaced Reggie with a HOFer
and adding Plumlee to boot
