    RoCo struggling to stay in front of PG13 for one dribble puts a lot of pressure on our help defense, yet we're up 12, let's go!

    Clippers on pace for about 70 points. Hand up on every shot. I love it.

    CJ for Simmons - make it happen!

    Norm / Lillard / Simons = good-to-go

    My league pass dies every 10 minutes because of an uncaught Java exception. This is amateur.

    C.J. has played really good defense this year. I'm now even more against this than I was before.

    Our good defense to start the quarter has faded away, but the Clippers can't hit anything. We got them out of their comfort zone (outside of PG)!

    He’s a little more tunnel visiony on offense. He’s attracting more attention and could be making more plays.
