Game 34: Los Angeles Clippers (22-11) @ New Orleans Pelicans (12-21) - 8:00 PM ET

I think Luc has exceeded most of our expectations. As our 'temporary' SF he has improved a lot on offence and has been one of our better players. As long as you aren't relying on him to score, he will make his open shots and will happily defend the opposition's best player. I think our issues are more with team D and bench offence. I'm not talking about getting another bench scorer, I just don't think our bench has many plays besides the Jamal ISO.

I heard CP left the game early? was he hurt?

i will say though that i'd rather just trade cp3 if doc puts crawford/austin on the court along with cp3 and seemingly has no problem with him barely touching the ball.

i mean if you're ok with it just trade the guy and get someone who will actually do something else for you since you apparently don't need him to RUN THE DAMN TEAM

btw jamal crawford is 2/14 and still allowed to shoot the ball for some reason. fantastic

Didn't see the game but box score was interesting. Rivers had the most shot attempts, scored the most.

But maybe it was because it was Paul's first game back?

Maybe Clippers don't need to give Paul the big money after next season ...

I heard CP left the game early? was he hurt?

I read that it was due to strict minutes restriction, not injury.

They should have let him play the last possession though. If they got to overtime I could understand resting him, but why not just one more play?

heard he had a fever or something? who knows.

Doc said if Paul got hurt "you all" would be on his case, referring to the reporters.
