    Kawhi gave TNT a highlight dunk to finish out the half.

    just checked the box score, and it looks like skipping this game was a wise decision

    Ian Eagle's genius wordplay on Kawhi's epic dunk made it even more spectacular!

    Why is Kawhi sitting out?

    Edit: Now Kawhi's injured too? This playoffs is cursed.

    i hope Clippers beat Utah. NBA has been trying to make Donovan, Gobert and the Jazz happen for years.

    Series doesn’t start until Clippers fall behind 2-0 & come back 2-2. Game on!

    as much as I hate the Jazz, I give those players and their coach due credit

    it's not like games are being rigged for them

    Going to 7 and Clippers have another Game 7. Somewhere Chris Paul is watching.

    G7 in Utah. Me thinks the Clippers need to avoid that situation. Conley might be on his third game back by that time if he doesn't reaggravate his hamstring.

    Clippers were underachieving the whole time. They snapped back

    Yeah but the snapped back to way above average. The issue is that they seems only do this when their backs are essentially against the wall, down 0-2, 2-3, and 0-2.

    They have yet to do this when they can control the series. Eventually they run into a situation when they try to tap into that to save themselves and it won't be there or won't be enough.

    I said in the last series that they had the talent to beat Dallas when they were down 0-2. Maybe they took Pat Bev out the starting line-up?

    Jazz fans are all saying that the refs favored the Clippers with a lot of contact to even the series. Haven't watched to have an opinion, except that after the late 90s and mid 00s series, I'll never have sympathy for the Jazz and too much contact.

    this season is a joke with all the injuries

    Was Leonard fat and out of shape like Harden too or nah?

    u don’t even have to be the best team at this point to win it all, just be the team that’s missing the least amount of starters or star players

    Wow. :eek:

    Injuries have ruined the NBA. Regular season was ruined. Playoffs were alright cause the Lakers were eliminated, but now this injury to Kawhi, plus Paul in protocol, and we are now waiting on Embid to tear up the rest of his knee.
