What happened to Mann. I haven’t seen him play in a long time.

No more Valanciunas, no Zion and BI and this team still has our number.

Their athleticism and length + ability to shoot and make plays is definitely a factor.. Murray, Herb Jones, and TM3 are like jaguars. Then got McCollum of course (not necessarily a jaguar).

The Pels main lineup has 13 assists so far.. but also 7 TOs as a team.

Putting on a big game.. hopefully a better 2nd half for Clips

Pelicans just shooting the ball better. Wish Jones jr was a better 3 shooter. When they double Harden they have to get the ball to Powell in that corner instead.

Back in it. Going to be a down to the wire game. Harden is at least shooting good this game. KPJ is out of control

Powell is an allstar. How was this overlooked for so long? I heard some wanted to trade him and other fans laughed at the notion he was even a solid player. He’s friggin awesome!

Heart attack win. But way to fight through those Pelican demons.

Talk about being on edge. Entire game just about. For some reason I knew this was going to be a really tough game. Great win on hostile soil. Kawhi is returning soon too!

Pelicans played well- have to give them credit.

The Clippers need to value the basketball more- far too many turnovers.

Still- they kept their composure and pulled it out in the end.

Weird calls at the end- how is not a foul when Zubac's arms were grabbed- how is he supposed to go for the ball? Also, looked like the Pels last FT was an airball- it just hit the backboard.

Good win without Mann and Leonard.

4th quarter really fun to watch.

I agree on the late ref calls.. er non-calls. But we got the W anyway.
The Clipper fan understands the Book of Exodus better than anyone... what it's like to struggle 40 years in the wilderness... and Genesis.. why Cain went after Abel... So fLakers, look out... we're coming.

A lot of those calls made absolutely no sense.

The team without Kawhi last year loses this game, that's for sure.

This team is like the 18/19 team and you plug a Kawhi in there with the league being WIDE open, we may have something here.


The basketball gods owe us AT LEAST one healthy playoff run with Kawhi and this team.

Return to Los Angeles Clippers
