Name-calling doesn't make the facts go away, it just makes you look immature.

I'm getting a really bad feeling that he'll be out for a stretch of games. Probably time to start getting mentally prepared for that fourth seed. :noway:

Looks like the nuggets are going to retain the second seed for now.

I knew the Nuggets weren't losing this game as soon as I saw our fans chalking it up as a likely loss for them on social media. :lol:

This team doesn't really deserve any help in the standings anyway. It's not like they take advantage of it when they get it.

Right.. And the nuggets have taken advantage of that with a fully healthy roster?

The nuggets have the same issues the clippers have and their core have been together longer.

That's they have some impressive wins and some really bad losses

It really speaks to kawhi's greatness that a load managed athlete could lead a team to a top 3 seed and even second seed when he plays over teams that are injury free or been together for 2yrs+.

We would have the best record or at worst, tied with the Lakers if we didn't have these random losses to lottery teams and our superstar wasn't so fragile.

This is what's been frustrating about thus season. The Lakers have been giving us all kinds of opportunity to pass them but when they lose, we lose, too.

Passing the Lakers was likely never the goal. Ease up on the kawhi disrespect. He's the main reason this team isn't an 10th seed

Becoming one of the top contenders and playing nearly .700 ball only 2 years after losing the only Hall of Famer in our history is a bloody miracle. And we see the Lakers weren't quite ready to ball yet either tonight. There were a number of Clippers who were just as close to him as the Lakers players were.

We should finally be at full strength for the first time all year within the week. The best is yet to come. :)

Yes,passing Lakers would be good. But they lost against Sacramento,Atlanta,Chicago,Memphis and Houston which hurted the most because I think we were up 69-54 at halftime.

Kawhi is not fragile,he carried this team on his back the whole January and never broke. :)

People are willing to attack kawhi but won't criticise any of the other players that been in a slump. Lou will and trezz have been horrible in the month of January. Negative net rating when they're in the game together without kawhi Leonard. Lou is shooting like 32% . Not exagerrating. Kawhi and to a lesser extent shamet is the main reasons we've been winning.

I think it's BS. That's how dominant kawhi is. He missed 12 games and we're still in a three seed. We don't go 4-1 on a road trip without kawhi Leonard. Now fans want to **** on him. Seeing stuff on social media of people calling him soft or fragile because his back gave out(which can happen to anyone)

If anyone feels that way, don't come around here come playoff time when he's unconscious. Stay on the other side.

Imo, the rest of the team needs to step up, putting it on kawhi Leonard is bogus.

Only kawhi and shamet have played really well

Kawhi is the one person on the team who deserves zero criticism. He's been carrying this team almost single-handedly.

Can't believe people are pretending this team's inconsistency is Kawhi's fault and not the underachieving coach, or the other so-called "superstar" who can't win without Kawhi, or the guy who'd rather complain about the All-Star selection process than play defense, etc.
