Is Ben Simmons ever going to return? Eubanks is quite subpar- would be great if Simmons could take his minutes and at least be somewhat productive

My goodness it’s a brick fest.

Lee see how Shaw does tonight with Lue out.

Leonard is moving around ok but his shots are all on the front rim. And then he dunks and gets a left handed layup/foul.

Leonard with a nasty foul second half.

Losing to the Kings. Awful.

I give up. This sucks.

Kawhi and Harden both lost this game for us. Both have been terrible today. Both looked old and slow. When your two most expensive players ball hog and do this we stand zero chance. Defense was also mediocre today too.

2 point game and bad foul by DJJ. Why challenge? No timeouts now.

Holy smokes. Refs gifted us that call.

Crunch time and we have Coffey taking the shot. Yikes.

Gotta get Zu a look here.

Thank you Harden.

Now who’s going to deliver the dagger from the Kings? You know that is coming.

Great look for Levine. Just rims out.

I don’t want 5 more minutes. My blood pressure.

This is a W for us in regulation if that bum Kawhi hasn't played like garbage.

Surprised Leonard is out there. 37 minutes all ready. Probably won’t play for a week now.

Clutch 3 Harden.

Coffey falling asleep on Lavine. :banghead:

DJJ with clutch baskets in OT.

Coffey has regressed.

Damn good block by Leonard just for the Kings to get the ball and DeRozan get the 3. Never mind a 2 but still.

Harden has the hot hand right now. Gotta go with him.

Leonard!! Over 4 guys. Nice to deliver the dagger.

He likes those bounce all around before falling in.

That was a bizzare play at the end. I thought he was gonna embarass himself again by dribbling out the clock.

Glad he went from garbage to hero. Zu and Harden were huge all night.

I can’t tell what the play was. Leonard was looking at two things then it was like a clear out and he made his move with what like 3 seconds??

Told the Mrs.[an in-and-out sports fan, but Clippers are her #1] that Kawhi has not been playing with the Eye of the Tiger. Which he has not. Saving it for the playoffs/play-in. But Brian Shaw just said Kawhi was under orders to take the last shot. Which he did--dribbledribbledribble [I hate you Kawhi] SHOT. Oh no!

Double-doink. Kawhi for the win!!! [Love you Kawhi!!!!!!}.

what a crazy game. Give credit to Harden and Zubac for keeping them in the game and Kawhi for pulling it out in the end. He definitely has a soft touch- master at shots that bounce around on the rim and fall.

You're still new around here. Some people are only happy when we die.

Great win. Fun win. We don't have a great team but we have a good one. And so do they. Yes, I'm having fun yet.

Whew, we needed this one badly! Kawhi had that 40+ game against the Mavs in a game 7, but this was like his first "Clipper moment." Kinda of crazy that it took like four years to get something like this out of him. Good game to build from. Lets get Norm back. We might can do some thangs once he gets healthy. 1-0 in the Brian Shaw Era. I believe I did see some better rotations out there. Its just that the Kawhi & Harden were cold in the first half and the offense was up and down all game long. Kobe as the small ball center instead of Eubanks might be something to try out again for this upcoming road trip.

Just a wild ending altogether, great win, that last shot almost looked like it wanted to come out at first

Me too... I was having flashbacks of that game where Kawhii had the ball at the top of the key, let the clock run low and then had some kind of miscommunication with Clippers Legend Marcus Morris, and then got locked up or something. Glad he was able to hit such a difficult shot and win the game.
