    Lol if that’s true I must have missed it because I legitimately don’t pay attention to the Clippers.

    I don’t care what they think they can do. Beat us in a playoff series. Until then they aren’t even worth worrying about IMO. Regular season games are not the same.

    I guess his backups outplaying him and the team winning by +13 when he is off court, but losing by 6 when he is on court, even with Kawhi going off = "irrational" to you.

    ignoring objective data is irrational. his team was generally better without him, as has been the case for two full years now.

    I guess you didn't actually watch the game then. Plus-minus is an overrated stat IMO. Anyway. .. The games will be played so we'll see how it turns out. We need to handle our own business first....but

    A Lakers/Clippers Conference Finals would be bananas.

    It’s a 48 minute game. Making some good plays at the end DOES NOT make up for the majority of bad minutes earlier. What is irrational is still thinking this guy is good.

    Same old Russ: a lot of woah moments combined with a lot of WTF moments. He scored the ball better today but man just awesome unforced errors that killed any chance the Clippers had.

    A bit annoying that he's hitting his FT's now - dudes on twitter are pointing out he's trying to play for a contract so you can see his effort on D and at the line is better

    his off ball defense here was absolutely shameful, imo, and a huge reason we were bad. his on-ball defense, particularly on wings, was probably the only thing on that end that he did well. phx is a good matchup for him because a) paul is slow now and b) russ has a huge boner for durant and thus will play with max effort in that matchup.

    Russ is the best immitation of the turtles in a human body.

    The problem is, do you want the ball in his hands in the 4th quarter of an important game? I don't.

    I think even if they go far, at some point he will stink it up with horrible decisions and forced shots.

    The battle of my two least liked teams left in the playoffs. I’m with JSM, I hope it goes seven and they wear out all their guys.

    he blocked durant, though, so the fact that his teams are now consistently better when he sits means nothing.

    Leonard is worthless so glad we didn't get that wheelchair bound scrub.

    Slippers tried so hard to beat us and get a better record, wonder how they like their decision to play PHX in the 1st round now.

    Russ is such a perfect fit with the Flippers. He’s still awful.
