    There's only two things I hate: Unreasonable disdain for people who are only trying to entertain me, and Rian Johnson.

    Meh. We lost our first game in 2020 and our first game to a sub .500 team after being 23-0 against them...and we didn't have AD, Rondo, Caruso, and LeBron still recovering from the flu...and we went down 20 two different times int he game and came back both times and nearly still won it. Oh, and we're still 5 games ahead of everyone else in the west...we can afford a loss here guys.

    33-8 at the midpoint of the season...had you told me that before the season began, I woulda taken it every day of the week and twice on sundays.

    Oh...and all this means is we're starting a new winning streak. Let's make up this loss with a WIN against Houston.

    I’m not even bothered to be honest, we had a 9 game win streak going, we’re still 1 of 2 teams in the league with single digit losses. I actually feel good for Fultz on another note, you hate to see a top overall pick be a bust, it’s nice to see the kid starting to find his way.

    I would have been happy this year with 55 wins and a building momentum for the playoffs. To be sitting at 33 wins at the halfway mark is way ahead of a normal curve for a team that has a new coach and only 6 players from last year's squad. It's really amazing.

    and what, half of our losses have involved missing one of our top two players? people are using that as the clippers' excuse.

    What happens to that number if you include the losses with no Caruso as well?
