This game turned around when we started playing with quicker pace. I have been saying all along because of our stagnant half court offense, we'll benefit from playing with more pace.

Clippers playing with energy and effort on both sides of the ball.

They are finally throwing more than one defender at Giannis.

Nice to see Brandon Boston Jr getting some minutes.

Mann, Coffey and Boston Jr have some upside left.

Lopez just owned the last 4 minutes of the quarter.

He is a stud.

Not bad to be down only 3.

No Leonard and none of the new additions.

PG shooting 3-11

Boston is so smooth on offense, gives effort on D. Was nice to see Coffey scold a bit

offense definitely looking tidier than in previous contests.

honestly, this team is built to handle one to two-ish iso masters and any more than that is problematic. kawhi being out and reggie gone i think kinda shows that, because the ball's simply moving more. pg is also pounding the ball way less, which is probably the biggest factor, though.

PG is absolutely brutal. That trade and contract just get worse by the game. Morris is also unwatchable.

Can't keep losing these winnable games, even if it was a scheduled loss. The game was there for the taking.

With the pick swap, this stings twice.

Paul George isnt even a borderline all star. He needs to completely change his game. The Clippers cant max him out. He is so overrated and inefficient.Hes soft.

- PG isn't a star anymore and chokes in every important game.
- Morris is absolutely terrible and will still get guaranteed minutes from Lue until his contract's up.
- Speaking of Lue, he's the second-worst coach in the league.
- We're still hopeless against .500+ teams, with the toughest remaining schedule and a conference that just improved around us.

Not a single move we made at the deadline addressed any of these problems, so we're still firmly on the treadmill of mediocrity. I don't see a single team we can beat in a playoff series. Mindboggling that Frank isn't at least on the hot seat.

Hard not to say "This team just doesn't look right...", but have to remember that we're not playing at full strength while the Bucks are legit contenders, they have a solid roster and are well coached. It's a tall order to beat them even at full strength. Giannis and Brook Lopez with Jrue and Middleton is scary. Lucky Middleton isn't playing, but still, Clips have to figure it out.

20 or so games left to get into a groove, but Lue is leaving a lot to be desired this year honestly.

Wasn’t expecting a win.

We really needed George to take more shots. 3’s especially.

They moved on from Reggie so hopefully they can move on from Morris this summer.

Read on Twitter


No practice until Monday???

Return to Los Angeles Clippers
