The Lakers have the best 4th quarter defense in the league averaging just over 22 points a game.
And in this game, after giving up more than 30 points for the first three quarters, the Lakers once again limited the Timberwolves to 22 points in the 4th  |

I love you 4th quarter defense! |

Our next 5 games are away. That means at the end of that road trip we'll have played 12 games at home and 17 away. I don't think any other team would have had such an unfavorable home and away schedu-
*Looks at Warriors having played 9 at home and 15 away*
Yeah well that's different. They're tanking and their schedule is helping that |

I won’t argue about that with Jerry West. |
Was there a quote about trez's iq? High or low? |
West singled him out when the Clippers hired him as having a high bball IQ. He had him working on play making out of the post and it is something that team needs. |
Ah cool.
I guess trez is still working on that playmaking.
Maybe he's working on that bball IQ as well.
Hopefully both don't get unleashed anytime soon. |
TRez looks solid at both ends. I can see what Logo saw whenever he’s running pick and roll with Lou. |
He's a great IQed playmaker? |
That's what VLF said although he said he didn't and insinuated that the one who said it was the Logo.  |

We gotta have fun with this during the regular season.
Cuz he'll most likely play all playoff games. Or that's what Clippers fans are hoping. We shall see. |

What I'm wondering is ... how long into the Playoffs before he starts limping
Guess it depends on how difficult the playoffs are and how long the series are ... |

I think Kawhi is playing dead like a possum, but this will test whether he can go through an entire grueling playoff run again. This year has shown that Toronto's "supporting" cast headlined by Siakim/Van Vleet are better than they were given credit for last year.

They get disrespected a LOT. Toronto really helped Kawhi last year |

They are 8-2 in their last 10 games, if they keep losing 20% of their games then the 5th seed will go to some other team.

The Clippers are 4-6 away from home. If they keep losing 60% of their away game, 5th seed will go to some other team because the Clippers will be 7th. |

You think 63-19 gets them higher or lower? I see that as a two seed.

Neither KL or PG13 are the type of players who can score enough to win games, especially in a series. They are more like Tim Duncan, who needs a lot of scoring support; they are not Kobe, MJ or even Iverson. Let Leonard and George (try to) get theirs. Just control the rotations so you have a very good defense unit (maybe your top defensive unit) whenever Lou Williams is in the game. |
This is actually a good game plan. Add to that that most of PG and KL's shots are low % shots. They seldomly drive to the hoop. |
Exactly. 3 streaky jump shooters and an undersized big. That's not championship DNA. |
You just described the Warriors. |
Not sure if you're serious. Steph, Klay and KD are easily 3 of the best 5 shooters of all time. Klay's worst year from 3 is on par with PG's second best. Draymond at his best is essentially a 7 footer with elite rim protection and perimeter defense. Harrell is ineffective against legitimate size. Comparing the Clippers to the Warriors is misguided. |
Thanks for posting. Saved me the time. |

Reading challenged as well? The only person to compare the Clippers and Warriors was the [insult deleted - CL] you quoted. The Warriors were 3 jump shooters and an undersized big.
[Let's dial back the insults. thx. -CL]

Guys, VCF was trying to make a joke. Only a moron would think Steph, Klay and KD are 3 streaky shooters.
It was just a joke that fell flat. |

Big reason for this is the 4th quarter is when we finally give Caruso+Dwight+AD serious run together which is some serious defensive firepower.
