They have quite a few guys out too so maybe we have a chance.

Just love those scoring droughts. Absolutely stunning. Lack of rebounding too.

This team has absolutely plummeted down to Earth. Crap like this is why I have zero faith we get through the play-ins. Our offense is terrible and we don't get rebounds. All it takes is two games like this to miss the playoffs and the chances of that happening are a lot higher than we'd like to admit.

Maybe this beatdown, as well as the Lakers winning in Toronto, will be enough of a wake up call for the final stretch of the season. Not going to be too tough on them for this losing streak, since at least one of the previous games could've easily gone our way.

It's a tricky situation, certain players definitely could use some rest, with that 8th seed being almost locked, yet we can't really sleepwalk into the play-in tournament. Ty has his work cut out for him, but what else is new. I wonder how PG's elbow feels.

We're probably going to have a losing record when all's said and done, which would be a real shame, since this is the most proud I've been of a Clippers roster since I started following the team. Our players should have something to show for it, hopefullly that's going to be a playoff appearance.

Exhausted--especially mentally. This is a lottery team that's been playing far over their heads.

3 days off. Been looking forward to this since January.

Zu said a few guys spoke up in the locker room after the game. Things like effort and embarrassment. Needing to do better.

It looked like Utah was playing at twice the speed that the Clippers were- just zipping around all over the place

Not making the playoffs is easily very possible, we should not be denying that. This is currently a no star team with third options masquerading as first options. It’s not going to be easy by any means.

Making the playoffs would be an accomplishment and not necessarily an expectation IMO.
