    CP3 is averaging 27-12 right now. No single PG "contains" him.

    Help defense lacks because Asik/Howard refuse to leave their men and help. Twin tower needs to be scrapped in second half. Also, Harden do need to step up on D period. There is no reason for Riddick to be wide open every chance he gets.

    Terrible D by our defense. We might give up highest scoring game to Clippers at this rate... Crazy...

    He lives in LA, so I am sure every time he comes to town he stays up all night banging hooker and snorting coke.

    Ok fine, start Asik instead Howard. Doesn't matter.

    Lin has nothing to be ashamed of. Nobody stops CP3 (FlopIlla). I think Lin was pretty good in the 1at half

    Why is Harden even guarding Redick? He should be on Dudley at all times.

    Yeah, looks like the refs want the Clippers to score 200 points off free throws. This game is totally rigged.

    McHale should just rest his starters and prepare for Portland tomorrow.

    He has gotten screened, but he's also allowed Redick and Dudley to go right around him. He's playing real lethargic. He needs to wake up if we're to have a chance at this one.

    I hope that the coaches come up wit a plan to attack their weaknesses and use our strengths - the same way the clips are doing to us now. We need our bigs to dominate and work with our guards the way the clips are doing. Both harden and Lin are more than capable of creating - what we need is a plan. Not kt hoping harden goes out and saves s by scoring 40. The clippers are too good for that now with doc rivers as the coach

    The quick fouls on Howard hurt us more than anything IMO.

    Messed up the rotations, kills the defense, etc.

    haha just asking because I missed the first half. We'll see though I'd be surprised if Harden didn't come out in the second half looking intense.

    Has anybody GIF'd Lin imitating CP3's flopping yet?

    the 2 times lin and paul matched up last season, it wasn't a stellar performance for paul. unless bev could injure paul, which many would appreciate. nothing serious, just a bruised thigh or something.

    Right now, it's both. Under no circumstances should Reddick have 20 points at the half.

    this is more about coaching than matchups, imo. We came in with no gameplan offensively and defensively. Hard to win with little to no coaching
