Knicks didn’t have M. Robinson, but they are a tough group, but a mechanical group. No finesse. A typical old school Eastern Conf. team.

We should have been up by 20 at the half. We missed a lot of looks at the basket. Kawhi is not always going to be so hot from the 3 pt. line.

We have to stay healthy. This is what our team is going to be — incredible offense, with great defense. Truly the Yin and Yang of basketball.

I didn’t expect us to be this far in the process by Dec. (more likely Feb.), but you can’t only be hopeful.

This is best chance at a Chip. Harden is the missing link to make 213 work.

Some critical features — DT and T. Mann — they are doing the dirty work that our stars cannot do. And, Harden is a much better defender than I ever imagined.

Crazy to think, but I expect us (when healthy) to win every game.

Wow – just watched the last 6 minutes of OKC @ Denver: Thunder were down 10 with 5:30 to go and down 8 with 3:15 to go. Chet with a highlight block (9 blocks total…), Nuggets made their outside clutch shots, even had an offensive rebound in the last minute – and OKC just dunked on them and killed them in isolation. They’ve been in kind of a shooting slump but super resilient. That’s gonna be a cracker of a game next week

The youngins can shoot a bit. Outside of Kobe, that’s pretty much it in this game. Played a G-League game today though, let’s see how they look next time

Clippers cylinders are in full capacity.
Shots are falling , KL playing incredible , Harden super efficient. Powell is a bucket, PG came back good and wasn’t really noticeable he was out for a couple.
This upcoming week which is VRRY challenging will tell us a little bit more.
as long we we stay healthy we should be able to get Home court thru the WCF.

We lost out in offensive rebounds. Won every single other boxscore category, even blocks

Yup. We’re dangerous. So proud of them. While they had good fortune (Robinson out/Hart ejected/PG available), they simply play a very convincing game. That Mavs/Thunder back-to-back might tell us whether we’re ‘just’ very good or can challenge for more. Catching up to and even passing the Lakers when we had the tougher remaining schedule (that evens out two Laker games from now). Let’s gooo!

Much better defense by Theis in the second half. The bad defensive possessions weren’t on him. Free throws 60 and 61 upcoming ;-)))

I’ve followed Kawhi his entire career and can’t recall a better stretch by him. We’re watching prime Kawhi.

Starting to really believe in this team. Kawhi is on an incredible tear. Zu has improved sooo much (not just through Harden, what Zu does on the roll, decisions, passing is so much better than early in the season). Some beautiful plays over the last two games, we’re a defensive team again, we force turnovers, Mann’s point-of-attack defense is mostly terrific. So many contributors on the other end as well, even with shooting coming and going, we find ways to score. Turnovers are low, our transition offense is improving, Ty is finding better rotations, LOVE what I see
