[Hoop Head]

Rondo and Lopez have been their best players in this series, despite playing alongside Wade and Butler. I know Wade is old but I don't think Butler is the superstar that a lot of people claimed.

Utah maybe knocks off the Clippers? Best of 3 series now.

Utah maybe knocks off the Clippers? Best of 3 series now.

They need Hayward back for Game 5. Joe Johnson turned the clock back about ten years, and good for him, but they can't expect him to do that again.

I actually preferred the one with IT and Michael Carter Williams it was kind of funny at a certain point it sure seemed like MCW decided he wanted no part of IT and walked away.

Durant, Livingston and Barnes are all still questionable for tonight

 

[Ronin]

Kevin Durant (calf) participated at shootaround, but he remains questionable to play in Monday's Game 4 against the Trail Blazers.
Durant has had a little more than a week to rest up his strained calf, but with the Dubs already up 3-0 in the series, they have the luxury of exercising some extreme caution with KD. In other words, if there's any concern at all about him suffering a setback, you can bet he won't be taking the court tonight, although it is a positive sign to see him go through shootaround. Check back closer to tip-off for official confirmation on his status.
