    Clippers are also on the first of back to back like us, their second game is against Brooklyn.

    I was thinking they may sit guys like Kawhi who often only play one of back to back.

    If Kawhi and George do play, it would be great to get a double digit lead against them early, Doc might decide to have them sit out and rest up for the following days game.

    Go Zers!

    Yeah Phoenix has been perfect. Seeing Ayton bring his computer gaming monitors to the bubble in airport I assumed he wasn't prioritizing basketball.

    For us it would be good if PHX and SAS lose one more game... in that case we could even clinch 9th with wins over LAC and Philly prior to our final two games.

    If we show up and play like we did tonight the Clippers are going to kick our asses. If we play like we did in the second half against Boston and the entire game against Houston then we can beat these guys. This is going to be a tough test and if I'm being honest, it's the only game we have left on our schedule that I looked at and thought we would lose. That being said, if our team plays their best ball, I think they can hang with anyone. If we get this win it's a bonus, if not our guys just need to be competitive.

    Huh? If we make 23 threes, Dame gets 45/12, and GT goes off again, the Clippers are gonna kick our asses? Ha. No.

    Barkley thinks the Clippers could rest people because they WANT the Lakers to have to face us.

    Hope so. Clippers also play Brooklyn the following day and often hold guys out on back to backs.

    If there is a game to rest players before the final push it is probably this one and if I was going to give any player some time to sit and consider their contribution to the team it would probably be Whiteside. I hope his left hip gets better, all the same.

    I want us to earn our playoff spot but fuck it, this is good news. We need all of the wins we can get and without that dick Pat Beverly, Dame is going to go off on the Clips. I know they still have two of the best wings in the league playing but this gives me more hope that we can win this one. Go Blazers!
