Not only a b2b, but an EARLY matinee--on the FIRST DAY of Daylight Savings Time

As much as I agree with Sieman in the NBA's shrewd schedule job to force a loss on the Clippers, this shouldn't have been said on the air. There could be some huge repercussions and consequences for airing the complaints live. What if this prompts the league to revise the Clippers schedule and impose a back-to-back-to-back on them, three games in a row?

They don't fine announcers. Silver and the league are in love with Ballmer and the upcoming Intuit Dome. So much they gave us the 2026 All Star Game right out the bat and the place isn't even finished yet. They assign and schedule game dates that's the arenas give them that's open. For all we know it's Cyrpto that did this to us as supposedly rumor has it that hey're the ones pissed that were leaving for brighter pastures.

Lakers have an ESPN game at 6:30 so that's why we're at noon. The arena had no say about that. They need the proper time to change the floor and stanchions.




And The Daylight Savings thing might have slipped everyone's notice, but the Bucks have a b2b on Monday themselves up in Sacramento so there was no wiggle room there either.

Still, there are some rumblings that there might be some sort of violation here.



But if there is, it's in nobody's interest to make a stink about it. As Mr. Clemenza notes, certainly not Ballmer, lol.

No doubt the Lakers play at 6:30pm but I'm sure something else could've been done to avoid this scenario.

The whole thing's a disgrace. After this the Clippers have 3 games in 4 days, including a b2b ON THE ROAD.

TUES Timberwolves
THURS @ BULLS
FRI @ PELICANS

The big 3 are listed as questionable again. Should know in an hour or so who plays or sits.

From what I understand the LA Kings have first dip in arena schedules, then Lakers, then us. We are pretty much guaranteed to get screwed every season. If the Kings and Lakers are both making the playoff this season, we are gonna get screwed again.

Leonard and PG are both out today. No surprise.

Harden will play.

PJ Tucker starting, this should be fun!

Suddenly this becomes a game we can steal. Those are always fun. A chance for our subs to shine or not. Hopefully throw off the Bucks game planning.

Hope the young guys like Miller, Brown, and Diabate get some burn.

Downside is that it’s the perfect game to use against them if they fail to beat the Bucks.

Definitely awful scheduling wise, and the Bucks were off yesterday, so they are fresh, but what can you do?

Well...build a new arena, but that's a future solution. For today, just do the best one can.

I don’t think anyone is expecting those 3 to beat the Bucks. But hopefully any of them can have moments where they look good playing within the system we’ve established. Hustle, rebound, defense & some scoring. Even PJ

There’s gonna be a lot more offense to be had so passing up open looks & scoring opportunities is not an option.

The last time PJ Tucker scored, it was back in November. He is due for a breakout game.

That defense on Lillard. Looks like the same game plan as it was in Milwaukee. Just as successful.

Portis too.

Nice block by Boston.

Tuck scores!!! Loving the energy and pace so far.

PJ actually looks competent today.

Like Bostons energy. Bones too.

What a block by Theis.

That basket by Mann should count wtf. Ok finally added it.

scrappy

That PJ shot is so ugly I almost hope he stops shooting again.

Bones having a bit of trouble getting his shot off but love his activity.

Guys are fighting and that’s about all you can ask for.
