This is just like the "CP vs Blake" Sophie's choice from Game 7. I'm sorry, JJ, but I had to go with Austin!

Also, it says a lot about Blake's current form that he still puts up 22/14/4 with 50% FG on a really rough night.

yeah blake easily could have had 30 points and a few more assists. i would have liked to have seen it so blake could continue with his playoff evolution but honestly this will help him anyway.

there's 0% chance the coaches don't show him every single TO he had tonight with the message "don't force things and don't press too hard."

he'll be just fine next game.

No way, Rockets will play much harder and we can't expect Austin to have two great games in a row. If CP's feeling ok after tonight, we need him out there, just playing at a safe pace and keeping everyone (Jamal) in check.

meh, if cp3 was fine in this game i just don't see him sitting game 4. that said, he clearly wasn't himself on defense. guess it's not a huge deal since they have no pg's anyway.

i mean, the game was actually not all that settled until austin rivers started going HAM. had we started the blowout in the second quarter i would feel pretty comfortable sitting cp3, but it didn't happen till late. DJ was weirdly invisible and blake was kinda bad. i don't expect blake to play like he did, but i still have no clue what happened with DJ. he needs to show up in the first minute of the game

i would have liked to sit cp3 but not now. losing game 4 would be a minor disaster.

I'm glad Redick received some votes
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!
