Embarrassing defense against a bottom feeder team. They were scoring at will in the paint. Kenyon Jr had like 15 dunks in that 1st half.

The Clippers are one loss away from being declared a lottery team by way of an under .500 percentage record.

But if there's one reason why I can still them winning, it's this reason, outside of my usual "fear of ejections" monologue:

Clippers are 9-0 versus the last two teams in each conference.

Pistons: Sweep
Hornets: Sweep
Spurs: 2-0
Rockets: 3-0

Clippers already have a season series win versus Rockets. Normally, they could toss the last game out, giving Houston a free game. But this is a forced win, for fear of being labelled a lottery team.

If there's one thing that will make Clippers focused, it's being imposed an ultimatum.

Sanguin is a great player but is just too much in the paint for Zubac

Leonard going cold at the wrong time.

Where would we be without Mann?

Rebound the ball

Sit Jackson. It’s just embarrassing at this point.

Need to survive the minutes Leonard is on the bench to start the 4th. He’s at 28 minutes so he’s good for 10 but you know Lue will try to buy more.

Both of these teams struggling

Get Jackson out. Throw the towel.

I'm seeing a pattern here

Powell-Jackson minus-3.1
Powell-Wall minus-3.3
Powell-George minus-3.3
Powell-Zubac minus-3.8

RoCo playing too well too. Might earn a seat on the bench.

Bench mob getting us jump started in the 4th.

Not scapegoating, just reporting facts. We had it going and he had b2b careless TOs.
