1/27/24 vs. LAC: Let the Homestand Begin
- Thread starter 128
- Start date
This is one of only a handful of games where I think they're getting really outplayed. Clips are generating much better looks. It's a real struggle right now.
They changed the rule specifically to prevent Harden from kicking his leg forward, tbough, to draw contact. As Scal said, they each have a right to natural landing spot—-Jaylen landed in his and Harden kicked his leg forward outside of his natural landing spot. It’s pretty much exactly the play the rule was changed to be an offensive foul. It’s simply not an automatic foul in that situation -they started that way, realized grifters would abuse it, and changed the rule.
But it only matters if the refs call the rule, and they don’t. Curry had one vs Smart a year or two that was that way—-the refs call it like you say above, but the actual rule was changed so that the defender can also land.
That’s fine but Harden does this leg kick out thing that should really negate the landing space thing. That’s the joke in all this.
At this point, just hoping for a little pride out of the C's. Seriously, everyone but PP and maybe Jru looks like they're playing in their sleep.
I know that Small Town video Scal is talking about. Some easy buckets for McHale and Parish in there.
Clippers quickness really causing issues for us. The shooting is a part of it, for sure, but they are winning the battle for spots too
The Clippers are defending the C's like its a playoff game. This is a great test to see what adjustments they make at the half.
Agreed. As I mentioned earlier this is also a game where KP is a huge factor for Cs….so, again, a test for the rest of them without him
Isn’t this what @HomeRunBaker talks about all the time - losing the first home game after a road trip?
Picturing Joe furiously turning a dial between two settings, "many threes" and "a lot of threes" and wondering why they are not suddenly winning.
They’re going to lose playoff games laying bricks from deep. Just have to trust they won’t do it 4 times in a 7 game series.
Holding the Clips to 55 is well done.
No idea what’s going on with the bricklaying. At the end, they had Kawhi on Tatum and Tatum kept passing out. Would love to see him go at him, just for the entertainment value.

The last 5 minutes was just pure masonry.
But the whole first half before that the shooting was not a fluke. The Clips were putting the clamps on.

It would be really great to have Theis back, he looks great out there. Understand why he didn't want to come back, but man he'd be an asset.
They've been shooting piss poor in general tonite.. not just 3 pointers. Don't expect them to have a shooting night like this all that often. 15 for 51 FG and 4-23 from 3..
Denver just almost lost to Philly w/o Embiid, Maxey, Harris and 3 other rotation players in the same situation.
