This is a huge game and I'm expecting a solid dub

Very important for seeding. 3rd seed is key for us!

LOL this feels even riskier than playing Bones 30 minutes in a must win game.

Why are we starting him so soon? I could see a few games from now but Westbrook just got here. Especially with such an important seeding game. I might need to drink during the game lol

I guess because they're all important. Denver on Sunday, Wolves on Tuesday and no practice in between. Full speed ahead. Russ has more familiarity with PG than Mann does and also played a full year with RoCo and EJ in Houston, so don't be surprised to see them get some burn.

And there's no use prolonging T-Mann's agony either. He was on top of the world and he's starting at the bottom again. And OTOH, if Russ is a disaster, it'll be clear to everyone--looking at you, PG and KL--that a return to the status quo ante is necessary, hopefully without damaging Mann's psyche too much.

Well. Buckle up from the start then.

Let’s hope we’re all eating crow by the end of the night/season.

The Ultimatum Season begins...

Lawrence Frank and Tyronn Lue have put their jobs on the line. Paul George has put his name on the trading block. All in the name of Russell Westbrook.

Clippers have a knack for responding to adversity when their backs were against the wall, such as being down 2-0 twice in 2021 NBA Playoffs. All they gotta do is think 2-0, pretend they're one game away from going down 3-0 and an automatic series loss. That's the mojo they need again.

The schedule is favorable for the Clips to catch #2. The #3 seed should be guaranteed. Kings have 5 road games additional down the stretch plus most of the top seeds in the East.

So we went from great last two games to a lineup that starts Morris AND Westbrook?
God right now I'm hating PG. This move has stopped Mann dead in his tracks and forget about Bones now.
I'm willing to bet that the team will be on a Westbrook high, maybe win this game or two but in the playoffs, Morris and Westbrook will kill us. If that's the case I want PG gone along with his buddy Westbrook.
I'll willingly eat crow but 5 teams before us cannot be wrong.

Wish they would sit Morris and start Mann.

Any reason why PG has a minutes restriction after almost a week off? I don't think the All star game was that intense. Unless he tweaked in practice?

Exactly bro. That's what we were hoping but this is plain BS.
