Keeping with board tradition and post-empting the ducler jinx.

First game thread of the year, guaranteed win.

Clippers are 3-6 on the road. Tonight is the first game of a back to back for LAC before they go to Indiana. If they rest Kawhi I think we win a close one.

I'll sticky this one, but I'm not liking the bad juju here. Ducler actually has a strong winning record.

You’d have to imagine LA is going to come in pissed after getting slapped around by Milwaukee. We’ll have to have our intensity high to keep it close.

Well, this sucks.

Beal is completely not giving a f*** on defense. Never bothers to close out on open shooters or rotate

Rui getting aggressive.

Ish is so much better than Isaiah.

And I'm liking Wagner more than Bryant too.

So how is Harkless still in the game? That should have been an ejection..

Ian making an impact.

good to see brooks get a technical foul and showing some emotions for once.

Beal was dreadful in the 1st quarter. 0-5.

Guys like Beal just get down on themselves but don't really adapt to change the situation

youngWizzy · Post #14 » by **youngWizzy** » Sun Dec 8, 2019 11:39 pm

Beal just went 12 minutes scoring only 1 point. He never seems to be aggressive at the beginning of games. 1 point won't cut it ever if you want to win.

Lol I was about to ask if he was feeling ok.

Great effort by the young guns, Mahinmi leading the charge giving them a physical presence to match up with Harrell.

Meliorus · Post #17 » by **Meliorus** » Sun Dec 8, 2019 11:54 pm

Mahinmi is the best center on this team by far, if we're just looking at winning ball games.

They've got Beverley on Hachimura, the Wizards haven't gone to the mismatch once.

Wake the **** up.

Wagner in, 5 point swing

Yeah, Wagner's fault that the Wizards turned the ball over twice.
