I'm still exhausted just doing our game threads.

First game of four games in four time zones:

Phoenix on Monday, San Antonio on Wednesday, Charlotte on Friday and then up to Canada on Sunday. And then back. This is Ballmer's reward for building his own two billion dollar arena so we don't have to take that deadly Grammy road trip every year.

W. TF. :nonono:

PHX dont have R. Dunn their best perimeter Defender. This game could be an offensive show.

Also, Zu should be able to dominate against their newly acquired center Richards, even though he's far better than Nurk and Plumlee. I just want us to rip-off their band-aid.

Lue says Leonard will have a little bump in his minutes. Better than nothing.

Should be a fun game.. Clips win a close-ish one on the road.

But, hopefully a coastful win.

Tyus Jones still a thorn in or side.

Need Leonard to take some shots.

This is some real crap basketball. Looks like G-League. No ball movement, no D. Just running end to end, both sides just bombing 3s. They're hitting them, we ain't. Down by 11 in the 2nd.

C'mon, guys.

What a forgettable half. Nothing worked.

Getting next to nothing from the bench in the first half. Need Kawhi to be better for us to have a chance.

Time to storm these Sunnies out.

Clips 67-66. Yeah, baby.

Much better start but it still doesn’t feel right.

4th quarter minutes for Leonard? Nice.

Ballings7 · Post #13 » by **Ballings7** » Tue Jan 28, 2025 4:10 am

Yep. Clips came out re-charged and ready to storm.

12 team steals and caught up on the boards

Mann has to be the most infuriating player.

Calling that a jump ball is downright comical

Ballings7 · Post #16 » by **Ballings7** » Tue Jan 28, 2025 4:33 am

Welp there goes that.. just too many threes

Not enough from the bench gang.

LamarWho · Post #17 » by **LamarWho** » Tue Jan 28, 2025 4:38 am

Bench is flat out garbage tonight.

KPJ - scoreless
Batum + Bamba - No points, no rebs (I mentioned b4 I rather have Plumlee back)

Get on that phone Frank.

Good comeback attempt, Norm/Zu/Harden rising up

But looks like for not.

Max Headrom · Post #19 » by **Max Headrom** » Tue Jan 28, 2025 4:55 am

The refs upheld that call even though Harden didn't touch Beal and Beal initiating the contact with his knee that made contact with Harden shin...lol

why is it the Clippers never seem to get a favorable whistle? Any close call goes to the other team. Sieman correctly stated that Amir was called for an offensive foul on a similar play vs Boston.

Also, Phoenix seems to play out of their minds against the Clippers. You go on the GB and people act like the Suns are a bunch of bums besides Durant. Meanwhile, Booker always seems to turn back into his HOF self against the Clippers, Jones looks like an all star, and Plumlee actually looks like a serviceable player rather than the bum he was for the Clippers- very frustrating.
