Game 71: Los Angeles Clippers (40-30) vs. Brooklyn Nets (36-35) - 6:00 PM PT

[Dynamix]

Is it strange that I think the Clippers might be able to beat the Rockets?

Not any stranger than the dreams I've been having of knocking out the Warriors.

I feel like the Clippers match up better against Houston but both are longshots.

Watching the last clip especially, you can see it's the same play as the one Wammy posted

except Lou took the handoff and pulled up at the top of the key. Blake went to the left wing, his favorite spot.

I was fine with Lou's shot, not so much with Blake taking a 3. Blake had an opening at the top of the key to take it to the hoop, but as usual didn't take it hard to the hole at crunch time, choosing a low-percentage jumper instead.

For all the keening about the CP-BG era, the fact was we had no closer. CP did it that one time against the Spurs, but that was a pretty hairy shot too. Blake never took it to the hole looking for contact, JJ was [and still is] a 4th-quarter zero, and the last thing you wanted was DJ drawing a foul and at the line.
