Thank God for the bench

[Surferdad]

Gee Joe, how did the Clippers just make a 13-2 run ?
Horrible shot selection and 4 sloppy turnovers.
Will this team EVER learn ? No.

Yep, they will never learn. If only they did, might have won the championship last year. Oh, wait. 

Doesn't change the fact that they play very bad offensive basketball with regularity. 
Think how dominant this team could be if they played smart, disciplined basketball most of the time.

It might look ugly when the shots aren?t falling, but it works more often than not. C?s are 3rd in the NBA in PPG. Second best record in the league. That?s without Porzingis.

Right, but they could still play smarter by mixing it up a bit more, keep defenses guessing.

[Silas]

Brad, thanks for extending PP for 4 years.

Amazing how good Porzingis looks. I was all for waiting until January at the earliest to bring him back. Fingers crossed.

[SCeltic34]

DWhite another 4th quarter 3.

Our bench players have been outstanding this game.  We're unbeatable when they play this well.

[Silas]

And just like that it's back up 27.  They are shooting 46.7% from 3.

[Atzar]

Shoutout to Pritchard for righting the ship almost single handedly when we were reeling for a bit. 

[Surferdad]

Lead back up to 27. I wonder if Tatum will just sit out the 4th quarter. He has looked terrible to me.

I'm not looking for "works more often than not" when this group is talented enough and has the rare great team chemistry to win 3 or even 4 banners. That is what playing disciplined basketball with some offensive creativity can make possible.

i like this game. 

up by 27 in the fourth. no stress to speak of. i guess porzingas does make the team better. 

[Atzar]

Queta helps us win games when he's in the right spots.  Been excellent in this one.

[hwangjini_1]

they put walsh in. the game must be in the bag.

[Silas]

I'll say it again, the bench is playing great ball tonight.

[Surferdad]

Queta helps us win games when he's in the right spots.  Been excellent in this one.

Between Queta, PP and Sam, leads will not shrink when the bench plays.

They are winning more than 80% of games. If they win 80% of games in the playoffs, that means another championship.
