b2b, but against another losing team

Clips can still salvage a winning road trip with wins here and ATL

Bogi has shown he still has it but just not consistent yet. Feel good about him building on it though.

Zu is monstering. Besides Beard, who's struggling [30 minutes already on a b2b], we really have no more firepower.

A win would be a miracle at this point with a whole quarter-plus to go.

_______________
ADD: Great finish to the 3rdQ for an 8 point-lead. Still, the starters' tongues gotta be dragging...
_________
ADD2: Best bench performance of the year. Add 10 to the lead and lead by 18 with 5 minutes left. Starters back in.
___________
ADD3: MIA bizarrely milks the clock for us with 1:30 left, then brick a 3. :lol:
__________
LAST ADD: Bogi matches T-Mann's best regular season game in his 5 1/2 years as a Clipper with a 30/11/4, plus+19 hero game.

Give Bogdan his props! His best game as a Clipper! Need to pick up that win against Atlanta on Friday to complete a successful road trip

Good win. Great to see Bogi step up and get handed the keys this game. Harden has been playing way too many minutes.

Didn't feel good about the game tonight because of the b2b, but Zu and Harden got some much needed help tonight. Bogi's 3-ball has been very inconsistent all year, but I noticed his midrange game has been on since he joined the team. Feels like it's been a while since Coffey had a good game, even Eubanks contributed something.

Nice win. It would be huge if Bogi's shooting continues to improve. He was looking terrible in his first few games so maybe he's starting to feel comfortable.

Finally got a Bogdan game, beautiful! Zu might f*ck around and become an all star next season. Good bench minutes from Coffey, DDJ, and Miller tonight too. Mann revenge game coming up next. Can we weather the storm?

Pretty surprised by this win seeings how shorthanded they were. I wish they would play with this sense of urgency when Kawhi plays, or maybe Kawhi makes them play lazier. They did shoot remarkably well from the field on the second night of a b2b, perhaps an outlier? Either way I will take it, on the to the next one.

Nice to see Bogi out there playing like a confident vet. Hopefully he continues to be more assertive on the court.

Good eye. They led this one almost wire-to-wire. Zu said that it being a b2b AND shorthanded, they knew they had to come out of the box at full throttle. He did wonder why they don't come out like that when they're rested. Kawhi in the starting lineup [who I think has been playing cautiously, at 80% effort] might be responsible for that.

Much needed win after the Pels loss

Hawks game will be good to get some more momentum.

Bogdanovic looked great .. I like the bond with Harden a lot. Hopefully Dunn is back next game.

Nice game from DDJ - one of the best in-game dunkers for sure
