I've got a feeling we may steal this one. But then again LA needs it to stay ahead of Denver so they won't be dogging it.

We have to win 2 of the last 3 games somehow. We cannot try to win 2 games in the playin. Also is Hayward just out for the season? He needs to come back now.

Gordo is effectively done for the year. Even if he does return it's going to be with a heavy minutes restriction. There's no way he's anywhere near game shape after staying off his foot that long. Sprains are also finicky injuries that you can't push too hard at first or you just make it worse. *Greg Olsen nods sadly*

You're right though, we realistically need 2/3 to safely avoid the lower play-in game. It's possible Indy drops games to Bucks/Lakers but they're going to beat Toronto.

At this point I'm just like whatever happens happens. Injuries have screwed us so badly this spring it's hard to even be mad about it, it's almost comical. If we got stomped in the play-in I just hope we win the lotto and scoop Cade/Mobley/Green and then I can console myself by sipping the bitter tears of teams that blatantly tanked all year only to pick 6th.

Would be shocked if we make this competitive, as the Clippers are playing for seeding, but I was also shocked when we almost beat the Nuggets...s'go squad!!!

They really should have flipped the colour scheme for the Minted court, so the key was the mint colour and the outside of the key extended to the 3pt line was graphite - not the other way around (as it is).

Biz starting again...this could get ugly lol.

Biz doing the "address the fans on the PA system from half court and thank them for their support" thing.

Interesting that he is the choice to do that.

Respect for Biz always playing hard but yeah, this is probably it for him in teal after this season.

McDaniels can low key make those little pocket passes.

Looking pretty good so far. A far cry from the last Chicago game.

Clippers have made 11 buckets.

7 of the 11 made buckets have been 3's.

Maybe we should start guarding the perimeter?

That went downhill quickly. Tighten up the man-to-man coverage! We're leaving shooters open at the perimeter.

Well...they're gonna need to makes less 3s and we're gonna need to make more 3s.

Melo not squeezing the wrist now!!!

Our speed seems to be keeping the Clippers on their heels.

Slow night for posters. Good game, though.
