Hopefully they remember the pain of getting blown out and smash the Wolves. Hope the two stars play tonight since they barely played.

Even though they didn’t play much last night I don’t expect Leonard or PG to play tonight. I’d love to be surprised but not holding my breath.

PG I can understand because of the recent strain during the Heat game. Kawhi though needs to play he barely played last night.

Need Kawhi to play tonight if we want a chance at winning this game. Give Preston a few minutes with some the starters. We need to see a different look tonight

I've been patient with the load management stuff, but if Kawhi doesn't play tonight, he deserves everything the media and fans will say about it.

Unless we are in April and fighting for a spot for the play in, I don't expect to see Kawhi tonight.

yup
why I think the wrong people are always getting the blame

December 16, 2022

All Tyronn Lue wants is a fully healthy Clippers squad for 15 games
Injuries and load management have presented challenges for the head coach – and players now logging more minutes


    The heavy minutes by other players have taken a toll. Zubac, who is averaging 29.5 minutes per game, is a prime example.

    The Clippers’ ironman center doesn’t like to sit out. He plays through aches and pains, saying they are just “part of the game.” But the 7-footer suffered a bone bruise against Minnesota after starting all 30 previous games.

    Jackson is the same way. Hates to miss games and has played through numerous minor injuries but was seen limping off the court Wednesday. He is averaging 29.3 minutes.

tell it, Stephen A :lol:

Unbelievable our two stars are soft. Have guys like Reggie and Zu playing beat up and these two have to sit out everyother game. Glass brothers.

These guys have zero commitment or respect for the franchise. Trade them and start over.

We already knew Kawhi was gonna play one end of B2Bs, but when did George hurt his taint, sheesh

I will still hold out hope the team shows some actual grit and plays well. Perhaps not a lot of hope, but it’s possible…

PG hurt his hamstring against Miami but you're giving Kawhi a pass when he only played one quarter last night?

If PG is that hurt he shouldn’t have made the trip. Why are they chancing his hamstring all the sudden?

Kawhi was always one of my favorite players, but I can no longer defend him. He's just using the Clippers for a paycheck while playing the fewest games he possibly can. Very disappointing.

Almost as many technical fouls as we do points.
