Anyone else think Donte DiVincenzo would look good in green?

Oh wow, they started Poole. Ballsy move.

I thought Kerr would go with DiVincenzo for his defense. Maybe Kuminga for size and speed. Kerr went smaller and more attack minded with Poole - awesome!

He was one of my targets last summer, although was fine we went with Gallo despite that not working out.

Clips are surprisingly only down 3pts at halftime. Russ needs to do a better job taking care of the ball in the second half. 5 turnovers in 2 Q’s is just ridiculous.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

We’ll time to turn these ones off.

Warriors blowout Kings without Draymond. Looks like their hopes may still be alive.

Yep. Game 4 should be really good…

Clippers are done without Kawhi...
Once again another dissapointing moment for the Clipps who just couldnt get over that hump..if Kawhi is not goin to recover from his knee sprain and already without PG...the Suns will do a quick work of them from this point.

Norman Powell with 40, Russell Westbrook with 30. And they came close to beating the fully loaded Suns.

Kawhi and PG-13 needs to come back next game

I remember there were rumors linking him to the Celtics, but we ended up with Brogdon instead.

I saw the video of the Embiid kick.  Claxton did kind of step over him and taunt some, but Embiid's kick was entirely unnecessary.  Based on the other recent action with Green and Harden, I don't see how they can't suspend him one game.  Luckily, PHI is up 3-0 so they can suspend him with minimal impact.

And I can't believe that Harden got ejected for that.  He pushes off with his arm like that every time he has the ball.  It just happened that it lined up the wrong way in that case.  Usually that push off would end up in the chest.  It is barely a foul.  I also thought Claxton's second T was pretty soft (actually saw that part of the game).

Yeah.  Suspend him, let the series get extended by one game, and pocket the extra revenue while not impacting the series significantly.

They should have just tossed him when it happened, instead of doing so with Harden for a less egregious foul. Now the officials look incompetent (once again) and I don’t think they will suspend Embiid considering he wasn’t given an F2.

What is it with the Clippers? When Paul and Griffin were running the show the same thing that always one of them got injured. Paul/Griffin/Jordan as a core was a contender on paper as well as George/Leonard, but neither team has had much playoff-success.
