But to be fair, Mike Taylor also wasn’t 6′ 5″, 220 lbs.

Check out these examples:
–Ty’s choosing to go with the bench and sit the core
–Luke’s two saving shots
–The ref calling the 5 sec vio
–The ref caling a foul on Luke’s last shot

Hey I know it’s the ref’s job to call violations but how many times have you heard folks say that “you don’t call a foul with one sec. left in the game–ref’s shouldn’t decide games”, etc. But this was at D.C. and it was just surprising for the visitors to get those calls that late in a game the Wiz were clearly desperate to get and with their owner sitting courtside. Hats off to the refs.

As to those last two Kuzma inbounds plays, hats off to Ty and the Clips defense—game winning coaching and execution.
Scrubb vs. Boston: In this one, Boston was terrible, no shooting touch; G league refresher time? JS looked in control. G league has served him well. Good decisions, defense, active, engaged, involved. Looks like his shooting has improved. Deserves some minutes to show this wan’t a fluke. Like what I saw.
One other thing: on the game thread I posted that I wanted folks to tell me what happened after Winslow’s late 3. Wrote that b/c espn’s play by play had Winslow making the 3 and Luke making the winning FT. Can’t believe everything you read.
Tonite vs. Magic: Gotta get this one but after the core’s non existent performance, hard to think we won’t fall behind again. Maybe Ty shakes up the starters???

I was checking in on the game yesterday and tuned out after that Beale 3 as I figured GAME OVER. Also, my wife wanted to watch Ozark with me. Can’t believe they pulled that out. You really have to watch this team until the very end. What a comeback!!!

They have a tendency to do that to our players after a heroic game.

Like yea his game had flaws, but he was legit right there w/ Lou Will as my favorite guys on the team. But *man* has he dropped a long ways for me since then. I’m not gonna get into all of the history here (y’all are familiar w/ it), but seeing him shit talking Zu (who, like all the starters, played horribly tonight) after hitting a midrange shot just rubbed me the wrong way – like, Zu wasn’t the reason you weren’t allowed to take those shots when you were here, Doc was.

Seeing Hart and the rest of the guys absolutely roast his mostly non-existent defense tonight was extra satisfying for me.

But holy hell, this game though…this team never quits (except the starters – they never actually showed up), and on any given night anyone off the bench can be the spark the team needs to feed off of. I don’t know what’s going to happen at the trade deadline (my money is on some combination of Bledsoe, Serge, and Luke getting moved), but this has somehow simultaneously been one of the most painful but also fun seasons I’ve ever experienced as a Clippers fan.

If we claw our way into the playoffs and be considerably healthy through out.
It’s gonna be fun. 🙂
Also, thanks to Ty Lue’s post game press.
I nominate nickname for our team this season as “LA Scrappers”.
