SEGABABA. Not expecting a win, but we'll see.

Hopefully we can abuse Wesley Johnson on the interior.

I'm hoping we pull a 2015 game and score 125. Probably give up 130 but it would at least be competitive and exciting.

Just said it on DT, but in a way its cool. I'd have been mad if they lost otherwise, and now won't be (writing this now so I remember later on). If he's out Wednesday whatever, just get better Steven, hope you're back for the weekend.

Well, with Kanter as our starting center, we may have to score 125 to have any hope of winning.


This sucks. Was hoping we could steal this one. The chances were already slim since it's the second night of a back-to-back, but now those "slim" chances have dwindled down to practically nothing.

Eh. Blazers lost again. 7 seed seems to be tough to lose out on just so Russ stays healthy. Hope Steven's back for the weekend. Might give up 150 Wednesday though.

Only one game back of the Jazz. Do division winners still get an automatic top four seed?

Nope, think that was 2 years ago they switched?

I cannot say Im looking forward to see the 2nd unit without Kanter tonight .... Maybe we will a lineup with Morrow and Abrines for the first time and maybe both will be shooting the lights out!! Im crossing my fingers.

If it gets out of hand, I think I'd just rather Donovan bite the bullet and rest Russ, if it's like 20 points near the start of the 4th, rather than put him out there and get him to expend a ton of energy attempting to bring the team back.

But who knows. Maybe Kanter takes this chance and runs with it. But a rotation of Kanter/Lauvergne is like...the worst defensive big man rotation you could have in the league today. Combine that with Russell's total lack of effort on D...Chris Paul is going to look to abuse the hell out of all that.

I dont think OKC should live and die by shooting 3-pointers. That is the quickest way to sudden death. But maybe we have no alternative with Adams out?

Clips smothering the ballhandler, then putting 3 bodies in the paint when an OKC shot goes up. Boys, this is what zero spacing looks like.
