Both teams are healthy. Lue is right—we’ve come out like a$$ for a last few games. Need this home win!

Will they even bother playing with energy/intensity? The margin for error was all ready thin but with the west making moves and improving and the Clippers looking to save money for 2026 it’s even worse now.

This is the kind of showing they needed after the last few games.

Hustle. Energy. Ball movement. Player movement.

What an absolute collapse to end the half.

Two of them. Coaches are absent.

Yikes. Ice cold. What a disaster.

Hey, on the bright side, our old, slow team that's already out of gas before the all-star break just got older and slower at the deadline! What a well-run franchise we are.

Finally back on track.

Really like Eubanks. Nothing flashy but solid.

Kawhi is awful. Can't wait for him to blame the bench players again like the toxic diva he is.

I switched the game on with 3:12 left, wtf is this ****?

Another 20 TO game, WTF!!! Why does this team turn the damn ball over a such a rate?! They cant get back if they do so take care of that ****! TLue coaching what exactly?

Lue has to figure out the second unit.

Teams in a funk. Hopefully related to the trade deadline. Kawhi is still rusty and Harden is turning the ball over way too much.

what a horrible way to end the game. Need to take care of the basketball! Bogdan is a solid player, but he isn't a point guard- they clearly shouldn't have to rely on Harden to run the offense all the time as he is already out of gas.

At least Kawhi did look better in the 4th for a stretch- that is really the only bright side

also- what a terrible sequence- Siakam making the lucky bounce 3 pointer (what is up with the Intuit rims? Seems like a lot of shots bounce around and fall), turnover by Kawhi, and then later Zubac gets called for a very questionable call that they fail to reverse on replay- very frustrating

Even If Bogdan slightly helps with these 19-0 and 14-0 scoring droughts it would be helpful. He's the type of player raise 2nd units floor overall. Came in and help Harden for playmaking duties. Sometimes Harden with his turnovers became THE problem and there were no other playmaker to save this team. Bones was bad at D and so streaky, KPJ was bad at reading the defense, game IQ, while Kris Dunn was lacked talent and Mann was lacked the courage to make plays.

Though, I'm still taking Spurs-Dallas-Sacto-GSW over us to make the play-in. 11th seed is there to battle between us, Blazers and Suns.

Too old and slow with no athletes outside of DJJ. Even worse after moving Mann and KPJ. Kawhi is semi washed. Harden looks gassed and walks the ball up every possession. No plays ran for Zu with Turner out of the game. Thought we were going to dig into the bench more after the trades instead of just playing Dunn and Batum who both can't shoot a lick. Not surprised at all.

Has this team already checked out on Van Gundy?

I'm not sure why they tried to play the pace that Indiana played- way too fast. They needed to slow it down, especially in the 2nd quarter.
