what's wrong, you guys don't have fun with schedule losses?

With Minnesota, Phoenix and the lakers winning, the clippers can’t afford to give games away. Have to lock in for this one. Hope luka has an off game or that the support players don’t go off

i'm super waiting for lue to try throwing moses brown in there again (if he can play) over covington and go away from the 5 wing lineup that blew dallas up last game

I've been following RoCo since his Sixers days, and I'm a fan. He's a lot like Reggie. Tries to do too much when the team is failing. Then gets the blame.

If we're going to make a run at this, Norm and RoCo are gonna be the difference. We already know what Zubac, Reggie, and Mann can do. They are what they are. Kennard, if he can only get his weak ass on the court. Senior, after a good start, has returned to his mediocrity. [And as he ages, even more mediocre.]

Regression to the mean. Mann's per-36 numbers this year are exactly the same as his career per-36 averages. So are the rest. You is what you is.

I think Ty is taking good care of RoCo. He's not playing all that well and still Ty is ramping up his minutes. Ty did the same thing for Powell and it's starting to pay off. One miracle at a time.

I like RoCo. In fact, he's the only card left in Ty's deck. I believe in Ty and I believe in RoCo. His time will come.

Mavs have top 10 defense and 17th offense.

Clippers know how to play Dallas by now.

Clippers are in 8th place right now .

Early game against Dallas. What could possibly go wrong?

Normally, Clippers would automatically lose morning games; they're just not that sharp in the AM zone.

But after being called out upon slipping under .500, briefly turning them into a lottery team, they're gonna take this game seriously. Even if it means having to play Amir Coffey as their literal personification of Foldgers*.

Can PG be the PG for this Clippers team????

I just read a social media thing on Jalen Brunson and he is averaging 22.5 ppg and 6.5 apg. This article said he is worth his contract because of what he provides to the Knicks.

Having PG focus a little less on scoring and being a distributor 1st and scorer 2nd ?

What are your thoughts ?

Beautiful start for the first 5 points

the team did SOMETHING since their last game

the ball movement looks fantastic, and it has purpose

George in foul trouble early is not good. Need Leonard to get going and others to step up.

PeteyPablo · Post #16 » by **PeteyPablo** » Sun Jan 22, 2023 7:59 pm

Powell with back to back threes to give Clippers the lead.

Beating the Mavs today helps the morale but it is not any statement game.

Clippers need to beat Nuggets , Pelicans and Grizzlies to make a statement of sorts.

Covington time - and he's active.. already took a three, got a steal and a block.

PeteyPablo · Post #19 » by **PeteyPablo** » Sun Jan 22, 2023 8:13 pm

Clippers looking less soft this game so far. They are playing aggressive and getting chippy.

Reggie Jackson back to back turnovers . Gets deep into the paint with his patented jump in the air and throw the ball to your opponents hands .
