I hate the Suns more than I hate the Lakers so I was ok with the refs rigging it for LAL. Also, I want the in season tourney to be a success and a Bucks-Lakers final would be NBA gold. Pacers-Pels would be like the MLB playoffs, a snoozer between teams that no one cares about.

“It’s starting to slow down for me,” Brown said. => maybe that’s the best part of this article.
And this is also great to hear: “Whenever I make a mistake, he’s telling me to get back, keep playing. Don’t worry about it. So, you know, just having a coach like that in my corner, it’s like it’s kind of, kind of hard to get down on yourself when he’s backing you up, feeding you confidence all the time.”
Overall a very good read.

Outlook: fully expecting a loss here. Just hoping for progress with regards to rotations, making plays and continued low turnovers. In the best case, a win would be a bonus win, eradicating one of the awful losses we had, at least in the standings.

Relaxed about this one, very little to lose. The Utah game (another bad matchup if Markkanen plays) is much more important, can’t lose that one.

Yeah. Should have been OT though if not for an awful call. Whatever, either team losing is good

Big win for the Lakers in the in-season tournament QFs. Lakers are now headed to Vegas. Had the Clips not made the big trade, we’d probably be headed to Vegas as well.

I have faith in both our rookie.
They are old rookie, so you don’t have to worry about their maturity.
And their style of play just match ours. Brown is a big wing who can guard anyone in front of him, even though with varying result. Dude has skill and size to play multiple position. And he has tight handle for his size and he’s a really nice passer.
Miller is quite interesting, as a guard he’s actually not that quick.
But he’s good rebounder and play with physicality. I love when he sky above his defender and grab a rebound over them. That one type of rebound in Brown’s SL breakout game is outstanding.
Brown starts to get playing time and after some runs in the g-league, Miller might get his later.
Let’s see.

If we can beat Denver, then good improvement.

Each win counts, but if we can’t get past Denver, this season is moot.

I think the Clippers could beat any team in the West outside of Denver. I’m also skeptical they can win three or four series in a row against any playoff teams

Russ and Harden are fine together as long as RUSS is handling the ball. The 2 can play pick and pop. Russ and Zu are a definite no go.

Thanks to Harden, Zu has become a weapon. Exploit this will open up things for everyone else. It’s a high percentage. Zu should be a double-double machine.

PJ Tucker is done. No point in discussing him further.

Keep playing Kobe. He will only get better. Once his 3 falls, the negativity will cease.

Never play Russ and Harden together. If the Clippers do play them together, it shouldn’t be more than a couple of minutes. Their egos clash and they are rivals. They are teammates but they really are rivals.

Mann, please keep shooting the 3 ball. Miss a few, so what. Keep shooting.
