Didn't know #Shamet is starting, wow! All the focus will be on #Zubac tonight. Lakers can actually do Clipps a favor by pushing them down to 7th seed, easier matchup vs. Denver compared to Rockets. But, I think LAC will be trying to win every game..

Hope Zubac drops 20-10 on us

Entertaining first quarter. Zubac could have had 12 or more points if his teammates recognized he was on the court. He was open just about the entire time he was on the court.

Some guy named Jemerio Jones in for us.... he sounds like a guy in the Fish that Saved Pittsburg....

“Some guy named...” lmao

I honestly don’t know who these players are

We're hanging with a playoff team. This is a "G-League" team out there for the most part.

Caruso for 32-11-10. That’s my prediction.

Yup. We have a good coach, a good system, a good bench. We need a season that’s free from major and simultaneous injuries to multiple starters. And a shooting coach. And LBJ to buy in or get out, and play defense or get out.

Man I miss Zubac. I keep waiting for him to come off the bench.

This Clippers team isn't going far in the playoffs....

I see potential in muscala

Muscala is playing decent low post defense(!) and rebounding and altering shots.

It seems Ballmer must’ve bribed the refs. Every 50/50 call goes their way and if they run right over our defenders, they get to shoot free throws.

I hate watching that type of crap.

I see a guy who will not be in the NBA in a year or 2.... and Zubac in a Clippers uniform because we panicked and made a trade just to make a trade.

I love watching basketball like this when the ball moves. LeBron should take mental notes on letting go, deferring, trusting, playing all for one one for all ball.

Free ball movement and motion off the ball..... hmmm.... Luke should have pushed this instead of the Ingram/Bron double isolation crap we've seen all year.

AC fresh!

If we're not careful we're going to win this one.

You mean coach Bron? Lol. It’s obvious what kind of ball Luke wants to play. Tonight it’s motion offense, the kind that can allow Caruso to almost go for a triple double, scoring 30 plus.

Ingram was Magic’s sales pitch. Luke is brilliant. Large egos can ruin entire organizations.

Damn that bucket was super impressive for AC, what soft touch high off the glass
