Without the DPOY.

Yikes, this is literally a bitch slap to the Clippers.

Hopefully Gobert is able to play in this series.

Salt Lake City has always been a tough place to win for the road team. Jazz already took homecourt advantage and it'll be tough to beat them if Gobert's injury isnt serious.

Blake Griffin is terrible in the 4th quarter. The main reason the Clippers are chokers is him IMO.

Great game from CP on both ends. Blake doing what he usually does. If Jazz get Gobert back they will win.

Not defending Crawford but Johnson is almost 6'8 at least 220 with handle. There is nothing Crawford could have done

CP3, 25 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds, best defense on the team minus maybe Mbah a Moute, and still gets ALL the blame. . . What?

Very happy for Joe Johnson. The "7 time all star" thing was always a stupid joke because it wasn't his fault or something. Still hoping this series goes 7.

People are crapping all over Crawford, and he sucks so I get it, but the Clippers as a team allowed the hottest offensive player for the Jazz to get within 10 feet of basket for a good look.

Of course, Jamal just probably shouldn't have been on the court, though I get the idea of they wanted more offense on the court for the previous possession, but you still had to go back down and defend, so...

nothing short of sensational they pulled this off without gobert. they'll need him to sustain these results, tho.
I've come to the conclusion that most folks don't really care that you broke one of the rules... they just enjoy telling you that you broke it.

Prayers up for Gobert..hopefully its just a Grade I Sprain or something and nothing more serious...even that still takes over 2 weeks to heal and rehab

I don't understand why people say Paul is too passive early.

Ideally he should be a bit more selfish but if his team isn't involved he's never beating anyone. Getting his teammates involved early and having the offense function from the start kind of sets up the rest of the game for the team.

It's time to blow it up.

This Clippers team has been underachieving for far too long.



Really all comes down to this Doc has been exposed as a coach and GM.
