Late one tonight in LA. Hopefully the Clips come ready. Let's get this L.

No funny business. Let's get #8 clinched so that we can beat PHX and TOR to close the season.

[Jordan Jackson]

Zu bout to have a legendary night in the paint.

Hope this is over by halftime.

[Leetonidas]

Is anyone actually staying up to watch the next 3 games? :lol if so, you're a trooper tbh

[baseline bum]

Magic number is two to clinch the #8 seed.

We're pretty much guaranteed to lose these two b2b games, but I really want to put the last nail in the Suns season and then beat the Raptors in Pop's farewell game, tbh.

haven't watched a game since the Hornets game where Fox almost won it

I don't understand this, tbh
Most of us in here aren't casual fans that don't understand basketball, there's much more to see than just the scoreboard shows.
Yeah, past few years have been rough, but I've seen every game. Not live, but I always find an hour to watch the full game and with the ability to just skip all the stoppages and free throws, it's not that bad.

We're constantly talking about the roster and the players in here, I honestly wouldn't be posting anything if I weren't paying attention to their development.

Hawaii time to the rescue baby!

Yeah Castle has been fun to see exceed expectations, Champ has really polished up low-key, and CP3 is in his swan song. Some good stuff to watch even with the tank. I actually really enjoy Biyombo mins as a novelty. He sets solid screens and has good chemistry with Paul. And Barnes has been fun to watch too. That corner three is guaranteed and the release point is such a trademark to see. There are other reasons to watch and I like seeing/tracking the player development or lack thereof as much as wins. That said can't wait for Wemby/Castle/Fox etc in meaningful games.

[scott]

Forgot that LAC (and LAL) games are blacked out here in Hawaii for new wave geography reasons... so not even I will be holding down the fort on this late tip off. I'm expecting Bassey's most epic game ever as a result since I'll miss it.

[heyheymymy]

not gonna lie that LAC wood grain alternate court looks like absolute shit

[heyheymymy]

clippers broadcast has some game stats superimposed on the screen. I didn't ask for this.

[ginobilized]

Blake Wesley with his best crossover and dunk of his career. It's been awesome to see him, dare I say, turn the corner.

As much fun as that would be I'm still rooting for them to finish ahead of Sac and push the Kings to the lottery so they don't convey their pick to ATL.

[CorrectCrusader]

Keldon is so ass. Tank commander legend

[Mr. Body]

Seventeen points on five shots.

[Dex]

The tank rolls on :smokin

[CorrectCrusader]

Fuck Ivica Zubac, fat useless fucking shitter

How did the Spurs played. I haven't been able to watch the game, but I saw the score, so I might skip it this time. Did they have a chance to win, or did they just make the score respectable at the end?

[BatManu20]

Not even 2 pages on the game thread :lol. Safe to say Spurfan has checked out tbh.

[quentin_compson]

Overall, I thought the Spurs looked rather solid.
IF Kawhi can be and stay healthy, the Clippers will be a tough out in the first round of the playoffs.

[CGD]

These west coast start times are brutal.

Imagine if instead of drafting Victor we ended up with Scoot Or Miller. Every thread would look like this for the next decade tbh

The Super Friends would be BALLIN OUT tho.
