With a 65 game minimum for seasonal awards in the new CBA, that most likely means Kawhi will not get to be the MVP next season.

He doesn’t deserve to regardless, as he doesn’t care about the regular season by his own admission. It should go to players that play hard every night.

Better win after that weak showing yesterday and Kawhi ridiculously only playing 1 half

The only thing I'm feeling fairly confident about right now is that we're getting a top 10 seed.

30th lineup
Ty deserves a medal if he can pull this one off
and even if he can't
Powell minus-11.1 per 100 possessions since the All-Star break

Another great first quarter! Should I be worried about what's gonna happen the rest of the game?

So many fouls

This game is way too important to just let Norm try to play his way back into form, so of course that's exactly what Lue's doing. :roll:

Powell a team-high plus+11
Westbrook with 19

Yeah he looks awful so far, I can see it effecting his confidence.

Thank god the good Russ showed up today in the first half, or we are down by double figures for sure by now. Not gonna win this game unless we get some production from Norm and the role players.

Hopefully the refs stop calling these soft nonexistent fouls on the Clippers. That second quarter was some embarrassing one sided officiating

At least Norm is plus+11. Nobody else is doing squat either so you leave him in.

Kawhi is 4-11.
Batum + RoCo are 1-5 for 6 points, 3 rebs and 2 assists in 28 MINUTES.
Mann is 3/1/0 for minus-4 in 7 minutes.
Hyland is 0-3.

Yah, Russ is doing it all.19/3/5 with 0 TOs.

Are MMSr / Batum / Covington arguably the worst power forward rotation ever? I wonder. Its just been a blackhole of little to no production at that position for the Clippers all season.

Well now you know why MMSr was getting minutes
Batum played 31 minutes 3 games ago and has been struggling ever since
and RoCo is doing nothing out there too 16 min 1-4 2 pts/2 reb/1 asst minus-13

This team just doesn’t instill a lot of confidence, if at all. And the Pels just have our number, like the Nuggets.
