Could be worse I guess. At least we’re not down 20 yet.

Ugly game

They're hitting everything

Let’s hope the Lakers and Timberwolves lose. Every time we get a chance to make up ground we lose too.

This Vincent dude is hitting contested 3 after contested 3. This is laughable at this point...lol

Down to 11, some points here would make it interesting, let's hit some FT's

So close but came up short. Heat are too good.

kennard has been phenomenal in the 4th, on both sides of the ball

He somehow went from a defensive seive to a passable defender sometime around last playoffs

Missed the FT

Good fight, that's basically the song of this team. If it was a lesser team than the Heat, the Clippers probably pull off the win tonight.

Good fight once again. A win was a long shot but the ridiculous 3's Miami hit in the 3rd was a lot to overcome. But, not mad at the result

Happy to see the H/S protocol didn’t derail Kennard. Still staying aggressive and other than the first game back kept his rhythm.

Yah, and I don't want to undersell what Amir's achieving [which is even more amazing as a minimum-wage 2-way guy who's NOT EVEN ON THE 15-MAN ROSTER] but what Luke's doing translates to winning playoff basketball. In the NBA you have to do ONE THING well and volume 3-point shooting is in the top 2 or 3.

If this Vincent dude (who I’ve never heard of) didn’t shoot like steph curry in this game perhaps the clippers would have won.

What’s up with random guys having their best shooting nights against the clippers? Valincunis suddenly turns into curry as well against the clippers

Vincent was 7-12 from 3 but still finished minus-2. Everybody has a night like that. Actually, besides JimmyB [16-16 FTs], it was Robinson who killed us--6-9 and 4-7 from distance for a plus+16.

We shot 25% from three. And missed 9 FTs. The Heat missed only one and shot 44% from three. Heat are at home and we're near the end of the most brutal road trip in years?

Geez, I love these guys.

Contested 3's too. It's not like he had a ton of room. Just a fluke shooting night for him. It was ridiculous. I believe Mike or Brian said he had previously made 8 3's in the last 4 games combined or something like that

That’s what I mean- fluke type shooting seems to happen against the clippers more than other teams. Valincunis hardly even shoots 3s against other teams

It had to be something about how we were defending New Orleans, because he averages 2.4 3PA, but took 8 and 9 vs the Clippers, his highest two attempts of the season.
