Today is Ralph's birthday and Sweet Jo is in Utah.

crawford was awful on defense in game 2 and it's taken him all of a couple minutes to be even worse. i don't understand how he is so absolutely clueless on defense.

Obviously defense was lacking in the 1st quarter. Hayward scored 21 points on us and even stayed in the game when he had 2 fouls. We're down 13 on the road and have to climb uphill already.

i'm not really one to turn off a clippers playoff game before it's over but it is looking not good at all and it's just the first quarter

basically what i mean is crawford likely has another 15 minutes to play and since it's a playoff game might as well say hi to a 40 point utah quarter

Milph mentioned Joe Johnson stating that he was down to the Clippers and Jazz in deciding whom to sign with. I remember thinking at the time that he chose money over playoff success. Well, he has a direct chance to prove me wrong.

i like blake attacking vulnerability, it's just too bad he couldn't finish the shot. crawford being on the court still is freaking tragic.

why is jj dropping into paint to help to begin with? there were 3 clips there already. jesus

If we retain CP3 and Blake, we get mini MLE this year? I've lost track of exceptions we've used.

jordan has 4 TO's already in the first half lol

did he forget it was the playoffs or something?

If blake doesn't' come back then who is going to score the 3 points blake is averaging in the fourth?

Lucky we have Jamal.

But in all seriousness, we need to figure out how to stop hayward and iso joe or it will be an uphill battle.

These injuries though, I just have no comment in regards to them

Well, bruised isn't as bad as broken or fractured or anything like that, but we'll see

They said the X-rays were negative, so bruised should mean not broken. Tears wouldn't be evident without doing an MRI or examining in other ways

The x-rays are always negative, so I'm expecting the worst case scenario. Still no excuses if we lose this series, since they're missing a key player as well.
