anyone know if dj will play?

[Ranma]

anyone know if dj will play?

I hope Doc is not rushing him back like he did with Jared Dudley. We need DJ to fully recuperate rather than risk further health issues.

#4 J.J. Redick hits his 4th 3-pointer with a 4-point play.

cole playing some great defense with the starters.

[Ranma]

A Clipper teammate should have yelled out to CP3 that Brewer was on his six on that breakaway.

[nickhx2]

wow how the hell does pablo not lob that to dj?

3 really dumb plays all in a row.

iso > bad pass
iso > bad shot
lazy pass

2nd unit has to pick it up.

lmao. crawford fails hard on a shot, doesn't even bother getting back on defense, then gets gifted for the rest of the team's effort.

2 points is 2 points i guess?

[nickhx2]

wes catches a tough pass and makes a great shot. he's been fantastic from that spot all year.

[nickhx2]

right there would have been a perfect time to put cole in

[nickhx2]

harden's been getting away with shoving jj all night. really can't stand the refs.

i'd say putting an ice cold jamal in the end of the quarter and giving him more time than a red hot wes johnson is definitely one of doc's less intelligent moments.
