Game 63: Los Angeles (39-23) vs Phoenix (32-30)

Does this loss really cost us though? how? As in playoffs factor, not W/L record etc.

Seemed like a rough game. Found it interesting how close that last 3 by Blake was from the baseball type throw off the inbound from Martin. Would've been incredible.

The lack of creativity on in-bounds plays definitely deserves another mention

Clippers got called for a 5 second violation on an inbound pass coming out of a timeout in the middle of the 4th quarter, then the Clippers called timeout with about 30 seconds left to advance the ball, they couldn't get the ball inbounded coming out of the timeout, and had to use a 2nd timeout (their last timeout of the game)

It probably cost us the opportunity to move up into the 3rd spot. Lakers would have to drop 2 and we would have to win the final 3 to surpass them. We still have a 1.5 game advantage over the Grizzlies and the magic number is still 2 for locking up home court advantage in the first round. Memphis' schedule is pretty easy for their final games. We need to win at least 2 of the last 3 if Memphis were to win out to maintain the 4 spot.

You know that is one of Del Fail's greatest strength's, inbounding the ball in crucial moments.

And generally if the ball is inbounded, it seems like there's no plan of what to do, it's like give Chris the ball and hope he does some Magic.

Also, just a random notice, the team get's a lot of technical fouls:
