GAME 66: Raptors (27-38) @ Clippers (43-22)—Tuesday 7PM PDT

[TheNewEra]

Very concerned with Rondo Mann Bev dynamic.

Looked to me like they were icing out Tmann when he wanted the ball a few times. Bev has a history of this w JLin in Houston so let's just have them all play together if it's an issue

Rondo is fairly ball dominant in terms of running the offense, not necessarily saying that in a bad way, but this has displaced Mann in a sense as a ball handler with the unit, and they seemed to be aiming to go to Cousins a lot.

Lue seems hell bent on not playing Luke again unless forced. I get Mann is suppose to help with defense but even as a defender he needs time to grow

[RingColluder]

A player like CP3 would have been perfect for this team.

CP3 has his own ego problems and tends to wear out his welcome in the locker room once the honeymoon period wears off.

maybe as a Clipper but he's doing an amazing job on the Suns

And Kennard doesn't? He's an awful defender. And if Luke won't shoot, he shouldn't play. That's all he's good for.

That stretch w TMann in was not his fault whatsoever, he got totally iced out with the addition of Bev. Just bad lineups.

[RingColluder]

MORRIS SAVING US!!

There's only so much he can do literally standing in the corner on offense, but when he gets the ball, he always delivers (4th now in the league in 3pt %)

[TheNewEra]

I get Reggie made two baskets but how is he shooting more than the other three main scorers ?

[esqtvd]

geezus just watch the game
we're down by 3 points ffs

[og15]

Wish Zu was able to finish that after that big man rebound in traffic

I'm not too mad at Siakam's line tonight from the Clippers standpoint. 19 points, but he's used 17 FGA and 2 FTA to get there, as long as they don't let him get too efficient down the stretch, it's acceptable.

As I say that, he gets the nice fade in,

[Scoundreldays]

Damn Kawhi only 3 fg attempts.

[Scoundreldays]

There we go!

[og15]

Here we go!

3:28, Clippers need to continue the run after the timeout and have the Raptors start the 4th with a little deficit

[RingColluder]

Marcus Morris is exceptional

[og15]

Okay big man, actually a bad pass by Morris, but recovered and finished

[Scoundreldays]

Did Vanvleet have another kid born recently? Guys playing like it's the 2019 finals

[og15]

Cousins drops real low in pick and roll defense, that can definitely be abused with the right pick and roll ball handler

Clean the floor!

[RingColluder]

boneheaded play to end the quarter

this is why I get so furious

potential 6 point swing right there!!

[og15]

Well, a tie is better than a deficit, now the goal is win one quarter

[TheNewEra]

Yup the way it’s been

Mann provided needed energy on a low-energy team during the dog days of the season. But Bev just led the 3rd quarter comeback--watch his pressure on the ballhandler. Mann tries, but Bev DOES. God, we've missed that.

TIED AFTER 3

[wakelaunch1]

This is exactly my problem with Paul George. For a star, he makes terrible decisions when directing the offense.

[esqtvd]

T-Lue just said--the Raptors are taking away our Big Two so make the simple pass. Its up to the rest and that's why Marcus has 17 after 3Qs.
