Wish they’d go into Zu more. That’s been successful.

Any bets on the updates we get from Chris Haynes tonight?

lol

PG progressing in the right direction.

Powell itching to get back. The belief is he’ll return before the end of the regular season.

No decision has been made if Leonard will play or not.

I can’t wait until next season. This one has been worse than the bubble.

Clippers depth just can’t sustain itself to fight back if we start slow. Down under five then boom double digits

Team has to be mentally and physically exhausted

I’m sure they are. Let’s hope the team is being more up front/honest with them about whether reinforcements are coming or not.

Nuggets are not a great 3 point shooting team but hit one big 3 after another- seems to happen very often for clippers opponents.

I wouldn’t be shocked if the clippers lost all the rest of their games and fell out of the 8 spot. They either have terrible games and lose or play well and lose as teams almost never have a cold shooting night against them

Damn near mathematically impossible for them to fall out of 8. But the most interesting thing from last night was Mann saying "we got guys coming back" :nod: :nod:

That is interesting and hopefully true (Mann's comment).

I know it is unlikely to fall out of the 8 spot, but not impossible- if the Clippers lose all of their games (in my opinion, the only games in which they should be favored are vs the Thunder and Kings), the Lakers could catch them by going on a decent win streak. I hope it doesn't happen, but it isn't completely outlandish.

Lakers are not a good team and haven't gone on a run at any point in this season. Wouldn't worry about them...lol

Mathematically the Lakers might end up with a better record. But it'd be hard for us not to make the play in as a 10th seed. Unless we lose all our games and the kings take that spot.

I agree, they are almost guaranteed to make the play in, but the 8th seed is not guaranteed. Hopefully the Lakers continue to be inconsistent and fail to go on a long winning streak

As a ninth or tenth seed we're in the danger of one and done. Otherwise we get two shots. Hope I'm right.

If we were to lose all remaining games, Lakers need to go 6-4 to pass us. Lebron out tonight vs. Sixers, so let's just call it 6-3.

Their only 'gimme'-ish game is OKC. It's possible they go 6-3, but I don't really consider it plausible.

Hopefully if it comes to that, the Clippers will put maximum effort into their final games against SAC and OKC- having to win 1 play in game is possible, but 2 is unlikely, so the 8th seed is very important.
