I find it much healthier these days to simply expect us to lose games that we should probably win, even without Kawhi/PG. The team will surely make up for it by then beating someone we shouldn't, prefferably in a highly dramatic fashion. So I could absolutely see us dropping a couple against NY/WAS/ORL/IND, but also get a win against either MIA or CHA.

Anyway, I'm pretty optimistic about our play-in chances, but the ship has probably sailed for that 6th seed, unless PG miraculously returns with a vengeance. It's just a shame about all those losses against teams that will most likely finish behind us.

I fully expect the Knicks to shoot the lights out today and win by 20+.

Come on Lue, run more plays for Zu

Clips need to work harder on boxing out

LamarWho · Post #9 » by **LamarWho** » Sun Jan 23, 2022 6:31 pm

They are shooting the lights out on 3s so far. We have done a good job weathering the storm.

Knicks just splashing everything

Is there anyone out there remember to play defense?

There's T-Mann again. Hesitates on a 3, dribble dribble dribble, ends up taking a fade away 2, airball. Sigh

Refs doing Boston dirty

Need that defensive pressure on shooters to kick up

Run some plays for Zu and that baby hook shot

Reggie is playing well but he ain't gonna beat this team by himself. MMSr has been garbage today, someone else need to give us a spark.

Clips trying to use Zu more but it’s not going to be enough if other guys can’t get rolling

Early games always suck for us

There was 2 different possession in this game where they feed him in the paint but he wasn't aggressive again and gave the ball back to guys behind the arc. At least he should have tried to get to the foul line.

He really should be playing when PG&Kawhi out there, without them his game isn't helping, 15-20 minutes a game at most.

Should've sat Mook. Coffey is coming back down to earth. Bledsoe and Mann on the court together at the same time is bad. Still want to see some actual plays ran for Zu now that he's discovering his game offensively. Boston had some nice moments. This is a bad loss as the Knicks have sucked these last few weeks. Just too many missed shots and free throws
