Most important thing about this game back was Conley's performance. I was starting to worry after Conley's mini-slump recently but he was so good yesterday.

I've been saying all year the Clipper are paper tigers. And they lose all swagger when Kawhi is out. George is a nice complimentary player and Harden is a shell of his former self. When we turned up the heat, we crushed them.

Clippers:
20-20 against teams over .500
21-3 against teams under .500

Wolves:
25-16 against teams over .500 (most in the West)
20-5 against teams under .500

Bet you don’t hear that from ESPN or TNT.

Did Chuck say Wolves are now a better team because we don't play two centers. It makes the team more dynamic and can come back from down 20?

It feels pretty clear that his body cannot handle brutal scheduling stretches with lots of games at the same level as when he was younger, but hopefully this is an indicator that he can return to form when rested.

To add to this, losing Morris means we need more from Mike so he can't get the rest he needs for these kinds of games.

McLaughlin has done an admirable job filling in, as he always does, but he's limited physically in a way he just can't overcome.

Does younger mean “last year?”

I can't process what I watched in the final 5 minutes of the 3rd quarter and rest of the game. Is this real life?

I’m not worried about Mike. He is smart enough to prepare himself well for the PO. I think last
Games were kind of preparing the PO. Mike was going more to the rim . It take time to adjust but I’m pretty confident he will be 100% soon.
