Happy to see Mann hit a couple shots.

Need to stay aggressive. Put them away give no hope.

People forget so easily who Leonard is. Please stay healthy.

Nice sequence by PG. Much needed for him and the team.

Had the same thought. This is Playoff Kawhi. But Playoff Kawhi puts good teams over the top. Playoff Kawhi will never be Playoff Jordan, LeBron, Bird or Magic, who carry teams to titles on their backs.

I think it's the addition of Harden--who needs Kawhi even more than Kawhi needs him.

You saw him pass up that shot--the open 3 from right side. He knew he pussed out. So next time up, he took it. Made it. Then it came around the horn again. Took it. Made it.

Amir is breathing down your neck, bro. He does everything you do and is 2" taller. He came into the Clippers the same season you did. He knows where to go on the floor and all the rotations too and has your athleticism, plus.

Just sayin'... :wink:

They were playing so well. then when its just PG, Kawhi, and Russ, they start playing one on one, and almost no passing. They got lazy and trying to be too fancy and they werent getting back on defense. They need to keep that killer instinct and share the ball.

Need a strong start to the 4th. Can’t give this team hope. Thankfully they’ve answered the Knicks runs so far but still work to do.

Coffey back on the floor. Not Kobe, who has been AWARDED minutes.

Coffey was given the start when PG was hurt and EARNED minutes. Ty is a good damn coach

Why is Coffey now playing for Browns mins? Coffey makes us too small. I dont like our offense when PG runs it. Its too stagnant and one on one.We get so many better shots when Harden runs it.

Was watching Coffey in with the starting 4 instead of Mann.

Hustling his ass off--and now he just stuck the open corner 3!!

After a dud start, Mann having a very good game but maybe Ty giving Coffey some of his minutes lit a fire under his ass! :lol:

i want boston to develop and be a player for us but man, not helping himself by taking one quick 3, not throwing hands up on D, and then chucking one (now two) threes just like that.

I'm not a fan of G-League, on the whole. The only way to get noticed is to jack it up. But try that shtt in the NBA against REAL players--even in garbage time--well, even in garbage time, you're playing against real NBA players.

There's a link to watch every Ontario Clipper game for free. I've tuned in, but it looks like a YMCA game. Except they play better D at the YMCA.

So you're saying players in the "real" NBA don't Jack it up? I understand the G league is not real NBA but saying guys at YMCA play better defense is just too much.

I watch the Ontario Clippers sometimes over the internet. In spurts. It's unwatchable as a GAME. It's not like anybody out there cares if their team wins or loses. It's an audition for the show.

Nobody escapes the G-League for their defense. T-Mann, Matisse Thybulle. Jobs are FILLED.

A YMCA game: They're playing for nothing but they care who wins or loses. That's all they've got. So yes, they DO play better defense.
