Nice. Looking forward to seeing Plumlee back on the floor with the team again. Glad Leonard isn't going to be out much longer either. Hopefully, both see some playing time on Monday.

Prolly will sit Kawhi and Plumlee again. Give them all the time they need to heal, without Jimmy, Heat's offense isnt as dynamic and PG13 needs to lock down Herro. It's nice that the Clips have this long stretch to get those 2 as healthy as possible.

Man, having Harden really gives the team a great cahcne to win games, he's an elite floor raiser in the regular season.

I'd like for Plumlee come back so we can see if we can go Twin (Ivory) Towers at times. Theis has spent some time at PF during his career, enough so that it's worth a try to see if it can work.

I also think we might see a little of Kawhi just so he can get back into the rhythm he'd hit. He was MVP caliber for the month before he got hurt.

No way the Clips would start Zu and Plumdog together, since neither can shoot 3s. But Theis as the PF, can work on offense, since he's a more of 3pt shooting threat than either. Also he's normal sized for the modern day small ball 4, whereas at the 5 he's hideously undersized.

December records


Boston Celtics 12-2 .857
LA Clippers 11-2 .846
Milwaukee Bucks 11-2 .846
Minnesota Timberwolves 10-3 .769
Oklahoma City Thunder 10-3 .769


Considering Kawhi missed 4 games and PG missed 2, not bad atall atall

Not the 1st quarter we wanted. Better get to work to start the second before it gets out of hand.

Heat and Spo are just tough man, gotta give ‘em credit. Hope we get some rhythm going in this game.

They dont even have their best player. PG dribbles too much, and he shoots too many off balance shots. He needs to change his strategy on this team. We dont need that

Miami is just a very well coached team. Even without Butler, this is a tough test for us. Kawhi was quiet in the 1st, but got going in the 2nd. Norm is shooting like Luke Kennard so far this season.

Agree about PG. He's a great 1v1 player, but forces the issue too much from time to time. Needs to move the ball more. The offense needs to go through Kawhi as much as possible.

Haven't this kind of pace in ages. Looking downright young and athletic out there.

He needs to work on being another catch and shoot player. Harden/Kawhi need to be the center of the offense. They are just so much more efficient. Kawhi is like super human efficient since the run. And Harden is setting up everyone with ease.
