They'll be absolutely fine. When you have a player at the level Stephen Curry is right now, the rest falls into place.

Boy....

In general, isolation late in a game against Kawhi is not really a high success play, unless you're some player that has some specific physical advantage over him you can use.


Was not even talking about the last possession, pretty sure he missed all his FGA's in the 4th quarter when Clippers managed to snuff out Warrior's motion offense and he was forced to play iso-ball.

Condolences buddy. That was a tough loss.

Congrats to Clips fans though. Good game as it turned out and great comeback from LAC.

Why is Magic on 9 games winning streak ? Did they played Wizards 9 times in a row or something?

It happens, sometimes you miss, Clippers just happy to be the beneficiary, and as we know, in "real" basketball (as opposed to like 1v1 or street ball) there's nothing particularly more impressive about being great at generating offense through isolation vs being a killer off ball shot generator and just good but not great at iso.

High Clyde went out to grab some booze when 22 down. And when he arrives, they made a comeback. What is he going to do with all those beverages? Save them for the playoff collapse come April?
