This will probably be one of the least watched playoff games yet. Not only are George and Kawhi out, but the Kings/Warriors are on at the same time on TNT while this one is on NBAtv which few people have.

Hoping we can get a big lead so we can rest our starters. Can’t have KD averaging over 40 mins per game.

Sounds weird, but that Kings/Warriors game sounds more interesting than ours...young surprising team with fastest paced offense in some time up 2-0 vs multiple time championship Warriors going home with their backs against the wall and no Draymond. HUGE game for the Warriors. Ours feels like it should be a blowout, which will be great as a fan but probably not terribly exciting, and if it's not, it will not be a good feeling, and if we lose, obviously it will be an awful feeling.

I think the Clips only real chance is if they are on absolute fire from 3. Like 50%+ on high volume...and if we are terrible from 3. That and if they dominate the boards. You know they will be running around creating havoc on D, even without the elite lengthy D from Kawhi and George.

And Ayton with the early stupidity.

It’s clear this team isn’t firing on all cylinders on offense especially when Lue throws a curveball at them on D、team is playing the passing lanes well though.

Interesting how Russ contest shots like Draymond.

I'm not really sure if it's monty's fault our team never seems to have a sense of urgency. But I doubt the clippers can keep up this kind of full court pressure and physicality the entire game.

I cringe hard every time Ayton pulls up for a stiff mid range. But he's hitting them so its good.

Loads of mental lapses already. This isn't the tone we should be setting.

Booker was straight up on Westbrook. Clippers only offense will be a million FTs.

WTAF is Booker doing? That was STUPID as Durant was wide open. Hero ball mindset will wreck us every time.

A high school game won't produce so many TOs.
