man, we are at least making this respectable as the Grizz have a slow pace of the game.

but Austin and Jamal combined have 3 times more shot attempts than our best offensive weapon of the current active lineup, JJ. Austin's got 1 assist while turning it over twice, and is currently -7. in a half court contest like these, I just fail to see why Bass is playing so little still.

I tune in to find out that we're on a 7-0 run while still down 5 points midway through the 3rd quarter.

Update: Make that a 9-0 run and down 3 points.

Another Update: Now 11-0 run for 1 point-deficit...and the streak is now broken with the Grizzlies back up by 3 points.

Looks like we'll get the win with the Clippers actually taking control of the game late.

I was really happy with this victory. They showed some heart coming back against a tough team. Hopefully cp3 is ready to come back on Friday and really get the team back on track

this was a pretty big win. i hope austin continues to build off of his solid recent play and this very good game tonight, especially. we will need the bench to be more than functional if we want to get back into the top tier of teams, again.

Good to see Conley brickin open shots, missing free throws and turning it over in crunch time, he'd been playing like MJ against the monstars down the stretch the last few times we faced them

Every so often you can see why Austin Rivers is in the NBA. That was probably his 2nd best game as a Clipper in the regular season. I like that he realizes that he can pretty much blow past anybody with his first step. The difference since last year's playoffs is he's been working on actually finishing at the rim. And equally impressive yesterday was his 7 assists. I've been pretty impressed with him this year. He's turned into a solid backup and now shooting about 40% from three for the year. Not bad considering he was bricking them all early in the season.

yeah i think his play has been pretty encouraging. i haven't read the GB lately but i imagine most non-clipper fans still think his deal is atrocious and that he shouldn't even be in the NBA. hell, even a couple of the guys who are fans here think that, too. quite amusing when i think of how triggered people must be when they see him playing well.

whatever the case, i'm glad to have him.

I was leaving for PA while this game was going on. I remember seeing that we had a slight lead in the 3rd; I'm glad we were able to take control of the game and win. We're undefeated in 2017, that's a step in the right direction.

I will admit I an not a fan Austin however I am glad to see he is making some improvement and helping the clips. if he continues to be consistent then I will try to ignore his attitude and stay positive. since he is drastically overpaid the clips are stuck with him for now.

in this market he's not dramatically overpaid, though
