Chris Paul will play? Don't think so.

Huge game. Hopefully Russ bounces back and has a huge game.

He didn't play yesterday in a game against his current opponent for the 3rd seed, can't see him playing tonight.

If we lose this game.... People are going to need to look hard in the mirror. No Paul or Griffin with Austin rivers starting at point guard. Contain redick with Andre and should be a comfortable win.

Pretty sure JJ is playing with a gimpy hamstring too. Some of the thunders worst games have been when teams are missing key players-Andre Drummond, Dwight Howard, Paul George and Mike Connelly to name a few.

Slow start but picked it up. Glad to see VO back with an early 3.

Sabonis just retired Pierce. Also: The difference between Morrow and Oladipo is astonishing.

Like against Memphis, Russ is actually defending. What gives?

Well that escalated quickly. Man I actually like the Clippers, they're really rough without CP and Blake.

Let's just keep this up and have an early night please.

This really isn't a fair fight but it's fun to watch. We needed a game like this after the Memphis beat down.

Making doc rivers the gm was stupid. I'm not even sold on him being a good coach.
