I really hope we play well. A win is nice but we really need our guys to believe right now. Losing by 12 will be a crushing blow.

Go C's. Sick em.

I know this thread is for the Clippers, but that Houston game was the most disgusting I've seen this season.

You are not alone. By Halftime I was ready to drop the game. Us leading by 2 is the main reason why I didn't.

I want the win, but I also want a healthy team come April and beyond. Sit him out.

Has anyone watched the Clippers much this year?  I know they're at the forefront of the whole load management thing and Paul George was out for awhile but I expected a better record from them.  Are they pacing themselves during the regular season?

I haven't watched them much this year so just curious what others are seeing.

Part of it is that George and Leonard have only played in a small percentage of their games together. Other part is that some of the games they have just seemed to have really low energy and/or bad chemistry. Have had some really bad losses (including most recently being dominated by the t wolves i beleive)

I've watched the Clippers a good amount. Its a lot of things:

1. They don't really pass the ball a ton so their offense can get somewhat stagnant.
2. They've been injured a lot so a lot of shuffling bodies around and this leads to unconnected defense
3. They aren't particularly good at rebounding (especially on defensive glass), at forcing turnovers, or keeping opponents off the line. This means that they're pretty reliant on other teams missing on any given night.

That's pretty much it. They still have the 6th best point differential per cleaning the glass.
