Don't really see it as an issue. Probably getting guys some rest. The Clips haven't had more than one day off between games since the Bucks game. Since last Sunday, this will be the 5th game to go along with travel to NO, Miami, Atl and back. A very difficult stretch for any kind of recovery.

Just hope the quick travel out and back for Simmons doesn't result in swelling in his knee.

If it’s just rest fine. But he missed 2 weeks not too long ago because of that knee.

Williams a problem. Sheesh.

No idea how the season plays out but I love watching Simmons and Bogi play for this team.

Powell forcing it.

2nd unit out there now

Simmons 6'10"
Batum 6'8"
Coffey 6'7"
plus Harden at 6'5", a top rebounding guard
and Bogi is listed at 6'5" as well, the designated shooter

This has possibilities...

That chick in the back seat that says, "No. You only did it thrice" like SEVENTEEN times a game must die.

Or at least a bad case of diarrhea. Something. The universe demands justice.

Team took care of business with a dominant win and never let them get back in it. Some very tough matchups coming up so it's good to go in with some momentum.

Big 3 of Harden, Kawhi and Zu played very well. Norm didn't shoot well but that's to be expected since he's been off for awhile. Team definitely needs his scoring so hopefully he returns to form sooner than later.

Cavs on Tuesday will be tough. If Norm shoots better than today, it should be a competitive game.

Hey Tony!

How do like our new bench

Kawhi is starting to shine again. Really good game from all of them. Norm of course gets a rust pass. We just might be a the dark horse team if fully healthy.

Let's all settle down. The team is starting to string together some positives, but we haven't beat a winning team on the road since Dec 23.

5 of our next 6 games are against teams that are 12 or more games above .500 (3 games against teams that have clinched).

Let's see how our Offense does against those Ds and our D against their Os. We have the 4th best defensive rating the in the NBA, but only the 18th best O rating. Based on the teams we just played, we should have a 7-8 game win streak right now. The losses vs Phoenix and NOP were just inexcusable (even if they were road games).

No matter how you slice it, ANY team will struggle missing their leading scorer. Norm missing games isn't something to sneeze at. Context is needed instead of just posting all of these numbers as is.

Good professional win. Cleveland, Memphis, OKC up next!

Ballings7 · Post #18 » by **Ballings7** » Mon Mar 17, 2025 8:12 pm

Solid win .. really good form game for Kawhi

Huge that Norm' is back

Be another big test coming up. Getting a break or two would help.

I think going 2-1 is realistic, but leaning to 1-2 most.

Finally beating OKC would be nice, and contain everyone's darling Shai : ) -- I don't dislike him, just would be fun to see.
