Clips would be up 30 if it weren't for KD.

What type of team are we good against? What's an example of a team we are likely to consistently beat?

The amount of open 3s people get against us is insane. Truly sickening.

Not a horrible 2nd quarter but we still can’t get a defensive rebound to save our lives. Basically, allows the Clippers to score every time down. One way or another. And the wide open threes drive me batty. Book pisses me off sometimes when he doesn’t even bother running over to put his hand up for an open three point shooter. Just turns his head and faces the basket. Saw him do that tonight and the last couple games.

We’re lucky we’re even within striking distance. Mostly due to KD.

We are going to have to start defending at some stage. Or find a way to score 90 n the second half ….

Not great defensively obviously, but this feels more like a shot making game…Clips have been hitting shots…we’ve lost a few players in transition and off scrambles, but overall feels better than last night

I wonder why we keep helping on Zubac and leaving Mann open. It's dumb as hell.

At this point in the season we seem to be gaining more clarity about which players we can count on. But that also means we're starting to become top-heavy with some games where our starters put up mostly good numbers but we don't get much out of the bench. Tonight almost nobody off the bench has given us anything, save Eric Gordon with 7 points.

This is another one of those games where we put up a lot of shots that look forced, difficult, well-guarded, and the other team comes down and runs a fluid offense and gets better looks. And what do you know, the other team pulls ahead.

clippers are expecting that, let’s just keep passing to Nurk down low and let him take terrible shots

Yeah, dude is shooting like only 50% on wide open 2 ft shots. Frustrating to watch them run the offense through hime so much

This team needs a point guard.

This team could actually use a player like Westbrook…someone to just make something happen…I’m done for the night…gotta be up too early.
