With the amount of open looks they've been getting, and how well they've been shooting recently, I wouldn't doubt it


They maybe had 2 or 3 open threes tonight. The rest was all pretty well contested. Clippers just hot shooting right now.


They missed two I counted, Norm also hit a open one, both of Reggie's, Mook had one and now Mann's.

Maybe we have different definitions of open


Mann s was pretty open. Reggies were pretty well defended

Still think the Clippers will win because they own the Lakers soul for some reason

what does he mean when he says party like it's 1999? What's so special about 1999? Does he mean right before the new year? Or was clubbing in 1999 something extraordinary?

Clippers look unbeatable. Terence Mann is the best Clipper and it’s not close

Clippers will don t have much to offer other than their 3 point shooting. Didn't t watch a lot of their games but I can see why they are only around. 500

Bev really thinks he's gonna get Kawhi to react? :lol:

LeBron has Zu on him, Bryant has Powell...and the Lakers have Bryant shoot a three?

Their defense has kept them afloat. They have the 4th best defense .

It’s actually been their offense that has been struggling all year. They are 29th.

A lot has to do with Leonard being out and Paul George also missing games. They have random lineups and have just now gotten healthy .

They are missing their best shooter in Luke Kennard who has missed 10-13 games in a row.

The call in the Mavs-Wiz game is dumb. What a bad ending.

To be fair they were able to go from trash to amazing within 15 minutes last game. A whole couple of days is more than enough time to go back to trash :lol:

I guess I haven’t watched the lakers since the grizz. Missed the last game. They looked so damn good with Russ leading that second unit
