Very disappointed in blowing a 10 point lead halfway through the second quarter to trail by 4 at the half.

21% for 3 isn’t going to cut it against LA in LA

Our shooting is just not on point today. 4-19 from deep. Refs have given the clips a 14-6 free throw advantage which is mostly unearned. We gotta shake off the rust and take care of business. Gotta have this one, and it is very winnable.

It's just unsustainable by the clippers. Ant is playing hungover. We have their number.. match up well against them.

14-6 free throw attempts…harden almost has more than the whole team alone.

Having seen it for 1.5 games I agree. This team is not likely to beat us in 7.

We need to stop fouling, we foul way too much. Let's win this game and give Charles Barkley a mental crisis of faith in his beloved Clippers.

We may foul too much, but they are not calling it consistent. Jaden and Rudy both got fouled no call, then Jaden is given a BS call to back him off on defense. That is a 6 point swing in that 20-6 run and helped the Clippers sustain the momentum during a run.

Perimeter shows need to start falling. Everything at the rim looks great but we need a bit more to fall from outside.

Great start

Damn did we need that. 8-0 run. Good everything. Defense on point, great attack by Ant, pass by Jaden, attack by Rudy, ect… If the 3 won’t drop, beat them in the paint with your size and skill.

The paint is going to get tight soon. Ty Lue is a good in game adjustment coach.

Great start to the 2nd half. Keep it up.

Wasn’t harden already falling??

Our defense isn't going to hold up playing this way on offense. Just a complete mess.

RUDY, RUDY, RUDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We needed that basket desperately.

Come on Ant. That is 0-8 from 3s so far.

edit: Westbrook is shooting better from 3s than Ant. That is bad.

Ru-flex is a good name for it.

Ant makes another 2.

Really like that Ant's shot isn't falling but he's doing everything he can to get to the rim.

Who wins?
