    That shot was clutch. He has proven to be clutch.

    Hey...bottom line is we need to get major stops at the end when it means the most. Can’t let Lou do that.

    leonard also allowed free reign to blatantly push off tucker to create space for that 'clutch' shot, something which harden would be called for 100% of the time (with fuking boris durke clap clap clapping on the mic the entire replay)

    Harden has to pass it off in a trap. It's the right play, I thought it worked great tonight especially with Rivers and McLemore finally hitting shots

    I will say this when the Clippers were struggling like I said earlier the refs helped the Clips with that stretch of fouls on the same possession. No excuses the game was in hand and we should have won it. To many turnovers and missed free throws other than that they made a few more plays than we did. We will get them next time. Russ left like 8 points on easy looks that were right at the rim. I do think the Rox have made their adjustment offensively to deal with the double teams which is good. We just have to refine it. Rox about to go on another run they are figuring it out. This is the best the clips got though.

    This team needs to make a trade.

    Did George step out of bounds? Could D'antoni have challenged it?

    I'm still proud of our boys. We are still shorthanded in comparison to to them due to injuries to a couple of our guys in House and EG.

    We shouldn't have lost this game, but one game will not dictate the rest of a long season. Be strong, my brothers, our players will be.

    I can't believe Sefolosha missed Clemons on that play. Why put him in if you're not gonna trust him with the game winner?

    I think Westbrook is a net negative on this team overall.

    Can we please stop the westbrook hating? we're not in this game without him. ****. he was huge in the third quarter. he played good defense..

    it gets old. he's not ideal, but he's all we got right now.

    Teams know Westbrook ain't hitting those 3s to make them pay, at least not enough so Harden will just get trapped everytime in a similar situation.


    CP3 would've made them pay because he's just a better shooter.

    Thought his lightning speed could get a closer shot.

    Doris Burke talking nonsense like she’s a full blown Clippers fan now was annoying as hell...her attempts to further the “Harden isn’t actually getting fouled, he’s tricking the refs” narrative was BS

    I know, but the team was already not in good position to score to begin with. Would have been nice to use the timeout in that situation.

    I guess Russ did have a play, but he decided to jack up a ****ing 3 rather than attacking.

    We can probably have a 7 games series with this clippers team. But you just know who will win at the end though. They have much more cold blooded players than us.

    D'Antoni mystifies me sometimes.

    The last few possessions is the cp3 -> Westbrook difference
