Glad they won because the refs were doing everything in their power to prevent them from getting this W

Bad shooting night from the team but great to see PG put the team on his back for the win! Wow!

So glad we're finally off the Luke Kennard train as anything other than a role player.

Hopefully TMann continues to start until injuries change things for the core players.

I was just going to say that, lol. Finally the man gets a call...

Good, tough win. CJ is very capable of hitting that shot, but at least it was somewhat contested.

As I said before which one of the Nick people blatantly ignored, I'm fine playing the Spurs or Grizzlies, but Mavs Warriors Pelicans Trailblazers can all be very tough let alone potential loss series. Our 2nd-3rd game responses to teams have bene awful this season.

This should have been an easy win. It can't be every time Kawhi is out the team falls apart and looks like this garbage.


We are down 3 starter level players and still won.Blazers missing Dame and Nurk hurt them but we also saw on a cold shooting night we could still scrap

I only caught the 4th quarter. Great win. PG was clutch, and happy to see we haven't lost to Portland since we traded for him! :D

No one's considering the Trailblazers to be close to a contender this year. We should have been them by a lot more especially with no Dame and Nurk, but I'll take the win bc I liked how they played in the clutch.

helluva win

Paul George total prime time
carried us throughout then daggered it
IMO his best game as a Clipper

Kawhi is a given every night
so we will only go as far as PG can take us


I'm starting to believe!!

PG is something else since Rondo-Lou swap and I'm thinking it's more about Rondo's touch on him than his health condition. It's the awareness, decisions and feel for the game that impressed me today(lately). He's improving and always give kudos to Rondo addition on interviews.

They finally got a call to go in their favor at the end of the game. Ironically, that was probably the least severe of all the fouls that they neglected to call.

Strange that they overturned the call on PG's 3 point attempt. I don't like those types of calls, but usually when your hand contacts the shooter, they give you FTs nowadays. Then they proceed to give the same call to Portland on the Cousins close out. They also didn't call Melo kicking Rondo or Melo stealing the tip. Very poorly officiated game. Scott Foster should have been fired long ago due to his strong links to Donaghy.

Looking forward to the playoffs because it also seems like Rondo is currently on a minutes restriction. If Beverly comes back his minutes might be the low 20s anyway but it’s good to know he can go big minutes
