That's what I mean. If you can play like this on the road while having an off game, then you have to feel good about your chances going forward.

So if the Clippers lose in the first round, does this mean that Kawhi to the Knicks is a done deal?

This Denver Blazers game is top notch content.

How about Robert Williams III tonight. What a stud. He's an athletic specimen!
In 22 mins: 11 pts on 5 of 8, 9 RB and NINE BLOCKS. Almost a triple double the hard way.
Very impressive young player.
Never really saw him before tonight.
Did I mention NINE blocks?

On the flipside, Claxton had a decent stat line in 11 mins but looked sloppy, undisciplined and a general mess out there.
What's up with Blake Griffin. ZERO shots in 20 mins? Are there just not enough shots after the big 3 or is he just totally shot?

Enjoyable game to watch! Which team would give the Nets more problems? I think the Bucks, maybe

The Clips just have no soul- no team soul or spirit whatsoever, it's weird. They've kind of adopted Leonard and PG's personality, where as with Tororonto that was balanced out with Lowry and the rest of the teams fire. I never enjoy watching the Clips play, it's just an empty experience

Woj said he expects him back at the Clips, only mentioning the Heat as a possibility if he leaves (which he said was very unlikely). I'm not sure it works when your best 2 players are a PF and a SF with elite guard/playmeker (Lakers being the exception because of Lebron)

I trust thibs to work wonders with a player like Kawhi, but- over rated and really, a lot of disappointment in his career.

Personally, I pass.

Cameron Payne ejected in the PHX game. Chance to see former Knick Langston Galloway?!

how was he ejected, and the Lakers Montrezl Harrell who all but charged into him and body slammed him wasn't given a t?

Mark Jackson as Booker floats one in over Davis:
"Give me good offense over good defense any day of the week."

That's why he's out of a job and Thibs has turned this franchise around.

If Clips lose in the first rd, why would we want him?

Dude is still living off that Philly lucky bounce. Don't get me wrong. Great player but I wouldn't build my team around him.

Yeah, you know anyone with a history of making tough, clutch shot in the playoffs? I know for a fact that Kawhi can close a game. I can't say that about anyone in this current roster.

I think they did the right thing, sometimes you have to protect players from themselves- his desire to compete is probably weighting his judgement right now.
