    Dillon is a dawg but let's pump the brakes.. He's gonna average 22 or more when he has the green light like he does in Phx.. Guarantee they hit a skid soon.. His will is immeasurable but they're clearly overachieving.. I wouldn't bet on them to get over 40 wins

    18 FTs total for the game and Jabari hitting his average of -19 for tonight. Reed is confident?!?!?!?!?

    Kawhi tonight is Michael Jordan to the Rockets tonight. We should win against the Lakers without Luka and unless the shadow of Michael Jordan shows up.

    Damn, completing the sweep of losing to all five of the worst teams in the west in our last 6 losses.

    Yeah, Clippers are definitely able to beat any team on any night especially if Prime Kahwhi shows up...but the blowout is inexcusable.

    We just didn't play well enough to beat the Clippers hell, we could have lost to any team in the NBA with how we played tonight.

    Correct, and also, some of those were tough shots the clippers hit, especially Harden and Kawhi.. some of those there were no real answers for. One of those nights unfortunately, momma always said there was gonna be days like this LOL

    Ok, now that the game is OVER over...how do the boys bounce back from this?

    This isn't just the low point of this season, I legit feel the worst that I have since the Ime era started.

    If it's more of the same against the Lakers, I will legit put on my panic pants and run around these virtual streets, nips out.

    Conspiracy theory: 8-syllables guy was instructed to foul Clint because the only thing missing from this game for Clippers fans was the free chik-fil-A

    Sometimes it is just a better offence, no matter how good the defence is

    I’m not sure 17-10 has ever felt so bad.

    Not true at all. We played good tonight and just lost to a better team. We did not improve when we traded Brooks, Green, and our lottery pick for an old geezer. We got worse and you are seeing the results. Udoka is the oly thing holding these ragtags together.

    The defense sucked. The effort was awful. That’s not an accident.
