- Going for 8 in a row. The last time Los Angeles won eight in a row in a single season was during a 10-game winning streak from Dec. 25, 2015, to Jan. 13, 2016. The Clippers have won seven consecutive games six times since then but have dropped the eighth contest each time.

Out of the play-in. You can smell the 4th seed from here. Don't look back.

To be 15-10 after a 0-6 in-season training camp is awfully impressive. Let’s keep it up!!
The template for our typical win seems clear- good games from 2 of the big 3 is usually enough if we get some other contributions too. Our margin of error is much better now, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Kawhi’s recent stretch came as James has really settled in as our point guard.

Going 2-2 would be great. Could see us beating the Pacers and Mavs, then just running out of gas. Even if they somehow have enough left for OKC on a B2B, that last early game against the Celtics is going to be absolutely brutal.
Whatever happens this following week, just no silly home loss against Charlotte or Memphis to end the year, pretty please!

Longest streak in team history is 17 (2012-2013 - Blake/CP3/Crawford). Current streak is 8th longest in team history. We've had lots of 7-game streaks over the years, but only 2 8-game streaks so far... let's focus on stomping Cavs tomorrow. They're 8th in the East at 14-12.

Clips need to take this game as Pacers are a very flawed defensive squad. Lakers obliterated them inside with AD, so the Clips should feed Pacers a steady stream of rim attacks and force them to foul. Sadly Harden doesnt have his burst anymore and cant provide much rim pressure, but his elite vision will still be vital in maximizing the rest of the team on the floor with him.

Am watching the Balleys stream for the Pacers. Starting lineups are being announced right now. Looks like they have some players out tonight.

Yeah no Myles Turner. Going small with Toppin and Isaiah Jackson at bigs.
Easier night for Zubac and Theis, at least around the paint.

Re: GAME #26: LAC (15-10) @ PACERS (13-11) MONDAY 12/18—4 PM
think the defensive sequence ending at 8:00 in the 2nd quarter (starring mann and coffey) is a really good marker of how well the team is playing right now on that end (well, over the past several games), but also how things can look in the big picture if the team keeps getting better.
mann was pretty sick in getting all over the place before finishing with the slap on the ball, but what i really take away from that is coffey's smart rotations. i mean if he's doing that, then i think that kinda tells us that he's gonna fit in with virtually any lineup on defense and lue's gonna be able to trust him to do that. so i don't foresee much kobe brown for the time being.

Defensively, Coffey brings years of experience both in the NBA and as a Clipper. Kobe is starting from scratch.
Also remember that although much leaner, Coffey is 6'7" as well. Clips need length. Probably why he's stuck so long.

Clippers not playing with much intensity. Feels like theyre overconfident in that they can turn it up at any time to take down the Pacers. TBF no Turner is huge, the paint defense is non-existent for the Pacers atm.

rotations really getting dialed in on defense. team just needs to keep getting games together to find that mind-meld connection of the truly elite defensive teams.

At least Indy is blowing it from 3.. 27 percent. And Clips fouls aren't stacking.
