GAME #45: BUCKS (25-17) @ LAC (25-19)—SAT 1/25 7:30 PM

[esqtvd]

Clips FAVORED by 2.5

[Ballings7]

Should be a good one.. Clips get the win.. Dame' has to play pretty big-time to win, but I think he struggles enough here.

Giannis will be Giannis.

Their role players are not quite what they were as well, and Middleton seems to be below-all-star-level more often than not coming off injuries.

I think the Clips will be too quick and energized on both ends for Doc's Bucks.

In a normal world, Kawhi vs Giannis would be must-see NBA TV. But nothing has ever been normal in the Kawhi Era. He's either injured, coming back from an injury, being rested to prevent injury...

or somebody else is.

If the NBA were NBA 2K, Ballmer's Billionaire Bombers would have racked up 5 titles by now.

Yeah not sure if he's playing tonight, but would be a good game for Kawhi. More often than not (when he plays) he shows up well for the big match ups. Always has (when he plays). : )

[KL2]

Zu and Powell with a rough start.

Zu and Powell with a rough start.

Decent shots. Rushing. No need to rush vs Bucks. Should be OK.

Need to pick up the D. Rush.

[Max Headrom]

Dame gets a ridiculous whistle for a player that hasn't accomplished anything...

[KL2]

Down 1 at the half. Could be worse. Need some others to pick up some scoring.

[KL2]

My God. That move by Leonard. Behind the back in traffic and up and under layup. wtf.

[KL2]

Harden on fire. Who’s going to join him with Leonard on the bench?

[Scoundreldays]

Hell of a game!

[esqtvd]

up 1 after 3
heckuva a game

[KL2]

Another game having to play against the refs too.

I’m in the minority but big fan of KPJ.

Harden is unconscious.

[LamarWho]

Why is Zu not in the game??

[LamarWho]

Lawler's law broken tonight! Probably Harden's best game this season.

[KL2]

What a win. Whew.

Now lock in for the 4 game road trip.

[Roscoe Sheed]

Great game- they would have won by at least 20 if not for the refs blowing so many calls

[HardenGoat]

Harden and Norm are all stars. They along with Zu are why we are in the playoffs with decent footing this year. This was a win that sends a message.

[Clemenza]

Great f*cking win! Norm + Harden= Dangerous!! Zu, Kawhi, the trio of DDJ, KPJ, and Coffey
