I hope we can win tonight. Hopefully the Suns can get us in the right direction. I'm hoping for #50 and clinching the division title.

Good start, it has the Suns taking an early time out. We have a early 6-0 lead

Looks like it could be double Ts for Blake and Dragic. Wish he would have walked away from the situation

Just like that Suns are able to score 10 straight :(

We should be able to score but aren't getting it done

We scored the first 15 then allow them to rattle off 10 straight themselves....

29-19 Clippers after 1. Phoenix outscored us 19-14 in the last 8 minutes.

Nice shot by Barnes to end the quarter, but a tad too late.

Blake picked up his 14th tech of the season and only has 2 more before he'll be suspended. With only 5.75 games to go, that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Good to see a lead, but I know I'm not alone in not being overly excited about beating the sucky teams, still waiting for a quality win. But right now, the "sucky" teams need to be beat too

Most of our final opponents are sucky outside of Memphis.

I just want us to close the season out on a positive note and hopefully regain some confidence heading to the playoffs.

A healthy Jermaine wouldn't be a bad addition to the Clippers in the future. Good defense, can hit a mid-range jumpshot, so would fit well next to Blake, just don't want him taking fadeaways from the post up, and while not a great rebounder, he's not bad. But health has been an issue for some years

I was thinking that myself a few minutes ago. The only concern that I have is that we aren't Phoenix. Either the training staff, the weather/climate or whatever it is that they have going for them, it doesn't seem like something that anybody else can replicate.
