Loved the Dunn signing coming into the season. This team's Gary Payton : )

Underrated and overlooked in recent seasons.. because his first full seasons back after a GLeague excursion to improve his jumpshot range, was with Utah who weren't winning.

He's on his way to making all-defense 2nd team (media hounds won't put him on 1st team).. I'd be shocked if he's not on there this season.

[Clemenza]

A lot of injuries. Bones and Miller time. Hopefully Dunn bounces back from that stinker in Minnesota.

[LamarWho]

I still prefer Bones over KPJ, so I hope to see more of him in the upcoming games.

[HardenGoat]

Finally getting some shots to fall in a game. Clippers are always playing tough games. Finally heard some good news about Kawhi.

[KingCrimzzon]

Watching Zu play like the C level player he is is so painful sometimes

[Max Headrom]

Great win, even with Zu stinking it up

Still played a heroic 35 minutes. It's just a bit too much of a workload. We were still plus+10 in his minutes. And Bamba has REALLY been stinking it up but was only minus-2 in his 13 minutes tonight.

Hey, this was against the MVP! Joker had a triple double [as usual] but finished minus-7 in his 39 minutes. This was a win at the 5 all the way.

[Clipp312s]

What a win, T-Mann delivered finally! Love this team!

Jordan Miller making KPJ expendable. L-Frank needs to figure out how to free up some spots/time to sign him long term.

[Roscoe Sheed]

Great victory- Harden is getting into better shape and Powell hit the ground running. Solid game by Mann too.

Zubac had a rough game, but his defense is vital against jokic. Zubac’s free throw shooting has really declined this season- perhaps it’s related to fatigue

Settle down, Mike Smith. He had 8 points, 2 rebs, 2 assist, minus-6. KPJ was 17/7/3 with 3 steals Friday night before he sprained his ankle. But good on Jordan, he contributed. Ty says he trusts him now.

Strangely, Zubac gaves me confidence whenever we matched up with Jokic. I mean he obviously get his numbers but man, Zu's presence makes him work hard he looks exhausted late games. Jokic probably has a lot of positive regards towards Zu.

[Clemenza]

Thank you Harden and Norm. Fantastic performances tonight! Zu wanted no parts of this game whatsoever, but he hung in there at the end. Can we please get this version of TMann at least once every three games? I guess, just like PG, its all between the ears with this guy. Things are so much easier for this team if he's in the 10-15 point range. Solid contributions from Miller and Bamba. Is Coffey hurt or okay for the next game? Lue can't play Harden an entire 2nd half again. Got to get Bones in the mix before Harden gets gassed beyond belief. Still should've fouled Minnesota on Friday and grinded out a win there.

I blame Doc and Lue. Mann got stuck with the two worst coaches at developing talent, on the worst franchise at developing talent. It's honestly a miracle he's even carved out the career that he has.

If we don't give Miller a real chance, he's either going to regress like Mann has or go elsewhere and ball out.

[LamarWho]

Harden's 3pt % has been climbing up, this means a great deal in our scoring. Norm picked up where he left off after missing 2 weeks. Fluke game by T-Mann, will probably see him doing that once more this year. Loved how Jordan Miller attacked against a great defender like Aaron Gordon.

Well I will say that Lue has given him every opportunity to become something in this league. I thought he shouldn't be in the starting lineup, but excepted it when it happened (like I had a choice). The Mann and KPJ leash is a long one, we just hope to see positives in the end like we did last night. I don't expect big numbers from Mann I just can't understand why we can't see this type of play from him at least every other game at this point of his career and contract extension. I don't think that's too much to ask.

It's a ridiculous statement. There are plenty of kids who come roaring out of the box at age 19 or 20. Coaching has nothing to do with it. T-Mann's mother is an NCAA coach: He knew the game backwards and forwards before he ever put on a Clippers uni. His shortcomings are purely in talent and emotional makeup.

And yeah, a strong performance every game or three isn't too much to ask at this age and at this salary. Mann is DEAD LAST in plus/minus among the regulars. Dunn is #1, and that's the name of that tune.
