Same ankle sprain as before?
Same ankle sprain as before?
Tough loss but, if Clips not chasing for 7th, there is nothing to lose. Start resting guys already.
Should have rested.
Sorry I talked shit about Russ. They are winning this game to prove me wrong.
Clippers getting cooked because I talk shit about Westbrick. Cool.
Dont care that the Clippers are getting cooked by the Kings. My point still stands.
First thing I see when I turn on Clippers: Russell Westbrook missed his assignment for Mathurin for a cut for an open dunk.
Being a good teammate in locker room and being bad on court is the WORST for the team, bc your teammates support you while you hurt your team.
Darius Garland, on what worked offensively last night: βThat first five minutes, I think that really just led to all the 48 minutes after that, really. ... We got out early in transition, couple dunks, couple lobs, couple open 3-balls, and it was just a domino effect after that.β
A close-up view of the Nicolas Batum Bobblehead that will be given away on Monday.
John Collins participated in a 5-on-5 scrimmage yesterday. He is βmaking progressβ and the Clippers are βcontinuing to evaluate him.β
Tyronn Lue, on what heβs learned about Kawhi Leonard in their seven years together: βHeβs a winner. He could have easily laid down on us this season, starting 6-21, but he came back with even more fight. ... Heβs carried us all season long.β
Tyronn Lue, on how team got better defensively: βI think quicker, I think executing what we want to do defensively is one, but just making those multiple efforts. ... Just understanding our defense, what we want to do, our foundation, weβve gotten a lot better at that as well.β
Nicolas Batum has tied Chauncey Billups on the NBAβs all-time 3-point list.
Kawhi Leonard has his 44th consecutive 20-point outing, tying Bob McAdoo for the longest single-season streak in LA Clippers franchise history.
Kawhi Leonard is getting "M-V-P!" chants while standing at the free throw line this evening.
Kawhi Leonard has the longest streak of 20-point games by a player aged 30 or older in NBA history. Leonard has done it for 44 straight games. The previous record was held by John Havlicek (40 games).
Josh Giddey has surpassed Michael Jordan on the NBAβs all-time triple-double list. Giddey, with 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists tonight, has notched his 29th career triple-double.
Final: Clippers 119, Bulls 108. It wasnβt pretty, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Kawhi Leonard dropped 28, Bennedict Mathurin had 26, and the Clippers moved to 34-32. Clippers had just 6 turnovers. Up next: tomorrow night at home against the Sacramento Kings (16-51).
I donβt know who needs to hear this
But the game is paint first
You have no paint threats = you have no offense
You canβt protect paint = you have no defense
Choose your awards accordinglyβ¦
Asked Kawhi Leonard about Kris Dunn's offense tonight (6 assists, 0 turnovers; leads LAC in touches per game since Feb. 1 after being 4th through Jan. 31) and LAC having 2nd-best AST-TO ratio (4.67) of season despite not having Darius Garland
Kawhi: "We love to play basketball"
Kris Dunn has been indispensable for the LA Clippers this season:
- Career-high total minutes in 10th NBA season (leads LAC)
- only Clipper to play every game so far
- more steals than turnovers
Asked him about his workload. Gave a lot of credit with regards to how he feels
Mathurin has 9 games overall with 20+ points off bench (1 with Pacers) this season
only players with more:
- Jaquez (17)
- Hardaway (12)
- Reid (12)
- Sensabaugh (11)
- Keldon Johnson (10)
- Dosunmu (9)
- Simons (9)
The LA Clippers are a SEASON-HIGH *two* games over .500
34-32 record for LAC
final score: Bulls 108, LA 119
Bennedict Mathurin: 26 points, 10/19 FGs, 6 rebounds, 1 steal, 5/6 FTs
Clippers outscored Bulls 70-56 in paint
tomorrow: vs Kings
I wonder what Beal's role will be if he is with the team next season.
Tyronn Lue says that Mathurin reminds him of Norman Powell
I just hope Kawhi get a rest tmr ππ«‘
I guess this is the gap between the perception from fans and teammates/coaches.
But I dont see how you cant be nice to reporters and teammates.
Kawhi needs a rest or two π
Bulls play Lakers before playing the Clippers tonight. Excellent time to rest Kawhi π«‘
