Shame that the two big lead runs couldn't be held better.

But feels like a storm for the 2nd half.

4 fouls on Harden makes me very nervous.

Get this lead back up and control the game again.

Saving Leonard on offense for when Harden is on the bench is one hell of a gamble.

Zu missing so many gimmies.

Finally a bench score.

5 points won’t cut it though.

Leonard is going to be ice cold to start the 4th. Took one shot in the 3rd and has sat the last 5 and change game time. Inexcusable the way they’re using him today. Harden, Zu, and Powell all have more shot attempts than he does.

Bogi is better than this. He and Powell are trying to compete for worse game.

They’re doubling Leonard almost every time. He’s passing out and guys outta make those shots.

IF we win this game the way those two are playing and our bench in general that’s a huge positive

My God Leonard. Holy bleep.

Batum with a couple timely 3’s. Need more from the bench though.

Kinda feel like Coffey could’ve provided better minutes. Especially on defense and with less turnovers

Batum lol. That 3 was insane. Fell asleep on Gordon though.

This will hurt if we lose this game.

No excuse for their bench to gave more than ours. Our guys should be embarrassed.

They’re doubling or trapping Leonard every time he touches. Guys have to move to an open spot. Do they not talk about this in practices?

Westbrook revenge game. Wonderful.

Can’t rebound for nothing.

Clippers will kick themselves losing this game. Wow.

Leonard 6 turnovers is brutal. Gotta do better. Why did Lue challenge that? Stupid. You lose your challenge and a TO. We have one now.

Westbrook just ended us.

Harden with a tough bucket. So much time left on the clock.

Nuggets can play much better. Can we say the same?

It’s better than a loss at the buzzer but I don’t want no OT.

Leonard played the entire 4th. He’s gassed. Just like the Warriors game. Can’t afford to rest him with the way some of the others are playing.

I’m starting to hate Powell.
