    Mann was ejected early, PG had this happen late, ouch, I genuinely hope he’s alright. Clippers may lose this one though

    Dort locked the f*** out of Kawhii on that last possession.
    Clips are done anyway: no finals run after that PG injury - even best case scenario suspect he's out for weeks

    OKC refused to lose though - SGA is the best PG I've seen all year

    Brutal. Second time I cringe with a PG injury, just unlucky

    Yeah, that looked pretty nasty. Damn, OKC just keeps winning.

    OKC deserves to be in the playoffs, they have been playing consistently and full of heart

    if the team doesn't win, I'd say many fans who have hope hanging by a string, may throw in the towel after a loss.

    There is no excuse for being in this position

    Yeah OKC has some interesting players to watch .

    Jazz and Thunder are playing with no pressure , this is one of the reasons they're both likely to finish in the top 10

    PG13 season is over , Clippers play OKC again at home then host NOP and Bulls , play 2 games at Grizz then a B2B at NOP .

    Screw the Clips for winning.

    Thoughts up for Paul George. I actually kinda like PG (seems like a good human being). Hope it’s not serious.

    The dunk in traffic was sweet: injuries really coming on strong at the end of the year. Hopefully it's not something that will mess him up permanently

    of course NO has the clippers twice after the george injury and portland after lillard quit.

    my last hope for the season was NO being bad enough that our pick situation would stay favorable even if we miss the play-in.

    This race is going to come down to the wire.

    It's in the hands of the basketball gods at this point. LOL

    We screwed the pooch more than a few times in the last weeks, no one else to blame but us.
    I don't like this play-in thing, teams like ours should easily be in the top6, let the suckers fight for the playoffs. That's why, i hope OKC and DAL gets in.

    Lakers are done. It starts with Phoenix tonight. And then Friday will be the clincher.

    probably. the next three home games are basically all must-wins, as what follows is a 5-game road trip, with 4 opponents also fighting for their playoff lives. if we're not riding a win streak heading into that stretch, i could see us just folding.

    Mavs should be able to beat GS with Luka back and with GS being awful on the road.

    Maybe Minny is out of sorts with KAT back in the fold.

    Zero hope in Portland beating Utah after Dame waved the flag.
