Any team with a healthy Kahwi is a scary team even if he's lost a little bit. I assume Harden will have a chip on his shoulder from getting bounced in the playoffs but who really knows with that dude, he is an enigma. Trying to figure out how he suddenly isn't cooked is like

Clippers are 12-2 since Celtics beat them in 12/23. They've had the best NBA record and top offense during that stretch. Only losses were road games against Lakers and Wolves.

This is going to a tough challenge esp without KP.

Only Zubac is OUT for the Clips. PG is playing.

He played really well last season too. Haliburton was everyone's darling and an AS with 20 and 10. Well, Harden had 20 and 10. And while counting stats aren't everything it's not like Harden didn't have team success either.

Definitely. -- Let him get his 6 Fouls, and at least give Al and Kornet some rest.

Hey sorry for the late notice but can you do the postgame thread tonight?

I just found out about a (hopefully minor) family emergency/medical situation and probably won't be able to watch the game live.

I guess I'm officially a Clippers ducker. I've missed two games this year and both have been against LAC.

Fun fact: Drew Peterson is shooting 100% against the Clippers this year. Too bad Peterson is in Maine.

No Embiid in the starting lineup for the Celtics/Clippers game either.
