We have to beat the Nuggets and Pelicans eventually, right?

Not gonna happen with the way Kawhi playing so far. It's definitely can happen if he can turn it around like after game 20 of last season.

As a fan , it is all too easy to say they need to play great defense all game long.

I am aware fatigue and tired legs will come into play. But the secret sauce is defense. This leads to offense opportunities and also limits the opponents scoring.

Murray and Gordon are out. Joker is now listed as questionable with back pain.

If there's any chance to break our losing streak on the Nuggets, tonight is the night.

Harden calling out the fans is no better than when Morris did it. This fanbase has been patient and loyal since long before Harden was even in the league. And given his own recent track record of quitting on teams, it's an ironic statement coming from him of all people.

Throw any and all analysis of this game out the door, Clippers have been given a free game.

Their last win was on January 11, 2021, an excruciatingly low scoring affair that was won by a role player team. Clippers have lost seven straight after that.

But, let's not forget, this is a trap game. Clippers are going up against a lottery team, and they will be seeing former Clipper DeAndre Jordan for this one (aside from Reggie Jackson). Here's where the checklist gets to meet the road.

(The "No ejections" checklist is alive, and may perhaps be the only one that sticks out for their Ultimatum season. Better that than nothing at all. Nothing At All. NOTHING AT ALL!)

No Jokic, Murray and Gordon. This means the game will go down to the wire tonight. Expect a 20pt lead by Denver in the 1st half.

These games make me nervous. Need the win regardless of who is out.

Keep building good habits.

Scary because a loss in this context would be horrible to the morale. Let’s get the win!

nugs being up while our starters are more or less taking bad shots and looking kinda lackadaisical is not at all unexpected lol

I love Theis. Unreal.

nickhx2 · Post #17 » by **nickhx2** » Tue Nov 28, 2023 4:07 am

it's just too insane that we got him for free lol

What did I miss in the trade rules.

How did LAC trade for Harden and sign Theis 2 weeks into the season?

I thought you can make trades at the trade deadline around All Star break.

Embarrassing good grief.

You can make trades any time up into the trade deadline, been that way since it's been a thing, and that's why it's called the trade deadline.

Many teams just wait until close to the deadline to make deals because they are looking for the best move or want as much time as possible to evaluate what they have and how other teams players are performing.
