No Ibaka no Kawhi. Need someone in PGs pocket all game. If he gets chippy sweep the leg.

This is a must win.

Suns by 11.
If that’s the case double the hell outta George. And have the doubles come from different directions. Keep him guessing. Make the rest of that team beat you.

I'd go the other way, actually. LAC is first in the league on 3p%, so I'd make sure we have our best defender on him at all times (most likely Mikal), and make sure we stay home on shooters. Give him the Kobe treatment that teams used to do, let him take all the shots and make sure nobody else gets in a rhythm.

ha! during my senior year in high school, our soccer team was awful. All we could do to try and keep games close was screw with the other kids... and by screw with, I mean get into fights. Before one game, I lined our entire team up on the sideline and while walking up the row, I yelled: "Sweep the leg! Do you have a problem with that Eagles?" To which the entire team yelled back:

"NO SENSEI!"

We went on to lose that game 0-4. Good times.

That’s a valid counter. I think I’d like to force them to show us they’re hitting first, then adapt.

I actually don't think Mikal is very good guarding either George or Kawhi. He really is much better guarding guards in my opinion.

I think we should try Torrey Craig on George and see how that goes.

This is not good news. I was hoping at least one would play.

Jae Crowder and Dario Saric are OUT.

damn. That hurts but it’s best to be able to get those guys back to as close to 100% before the end of the season as possible. These are definitely big games this week, but they pale in comparison to the playoffs.

regardless, the Clippers are missing Kawhi, Beverly and Ibaka. This needs to be a W.

We should still be able to win.

Honestly Dario being out is probably a blessing the way he has been playing lately.

I was hoping to at least get Crowder back for the game. I agree, Saric may need the extra rest.

Lakers look bad. They might fall to 6 or 7 seed.

getting the 1st seed is looking a lot better.

Chris Paul hits a 3-pointer to start the scoring tonight.
