I expect not to see omitted victory like vs 76ers.

I guess we will see little bit of Boban tonight.

Very good first half, it would be unrealistic for LAC to keep this good shooting percentage in second half. I am now rooting for blow-up game so I could hope to see big Boban yet Harrell is playing so well that he deserves every possible extra minute.

Why did Rivers start over milos? Was it due to the injury? Doc better not be starting Rivers from here on out.

foot problems

also up by 23 so dunno why complaining

Because Rivers is a much better player. Can you see Teodosic can't guard a tree. Russel is killing him. If he turns over one more ball I am gonna change my avatar out of shame.

Another win. No superstars on this team but they keep competing when lots of folks thought they might throw in the towel.

Because his last name is Rivers and Milos' isn't.

You guys need to stop with this nepotism accusations , Austin is well deserved starter and even deserves more minutes, tonight he proved that, he was star of the game.

Solid win, and decent overall night for the Clippers with the Pistons loss helping our pick, though, the winners were New Orleans making the race tighter.

Just hope San Antonio holds on against Utah as well.

Don't even, bro.


Avery and Austin are the only ones who can defend first-class guard tandems like GSW and Portland. I was enjoying Lou and Milos pick apart the opps as our 2nd-unit backcourt, but eventually the Nets made their run against their zero defense and it was time to bring back the blankets.

The question isn't Austin, it's Avery or Milos. And there's no way Milos can play starter's minutes so it's pretty moot. Avery played 28 minutes, Milos 16. Lou and Austin get the rest. Just right.


Nice win. We busted open the game with defense, holding the Nets to 16 points in the 3rdQ. That was the name of that tune.

Bradley is the perfect running mate for Milos, Rivers can't run an offense as a pg and actually defers to Lou. Beating the Nets doesn't mean Rivers should be granted the starting spot for the home stretch.

Austin is the starting guard until Avery finds his shot again, and even then Austin's a 40% shooter from 3, which Avery never has been. This is not to dog Avery but dogging Austin is BS. As for Milos, he's not even up to playing starter's minutes. Plus you can't put him out there against Steph Curry or Lilliard. It's a slaughter.

Plus Avery's probably not going to be here next year unless Austin opts out. With Pat Bev coming back, Avery's redundant.

They have around 4-5 guys that can score and they run 9 deep pretty easily. They are not the 1986 Celtics but its a team that is kind of fun to root for lately.

Doc always claimed to be a "ball movement coach," and with Chris's slowdown game and Blake's isos gone, he seems to have been telling the truth. The ball is whizzing around nicely. There's not a lot of "plus" talent out there, but even though they're virtually strangers, the team looks like a team, at least on offense. [Defense is harder and doesn't come as quickly.]

On paper this looks like a lottery team so I'm happy with their play. Gallo is looking more like Gallo while getting back in to game shape. Rivers coming back gives the backcourt a scorer. Now all they need is for Milo to be healthy. The team is better at times with him on offense based on his passing alone.

yeah, it really should be a lotto team. it is hard to win in this league without stars and ours are now long gone. the team is doing something pretty nifty, all things considered.
