If Leonard is in decline he is good at hiding it.

Setting aside the two for one shot, Hauser is a mess right now. Hopefully he can adjust.

The Clips bench is great as Scal noted. The starters may play a lot tonight.

Tatum is def sick or has the poops. He's heading to the bathroom every break.

Clips are small, but they've got guys out there Rob and Al can guard without really being destroyed off the bounce.

That 2022 calendar year +- stat they just showed was nuts.
I actually calculated it this morning. If my numbers are right if they win this game it will be 60 and 22 in 2022

EDIT: Regular season

Timelord is my favorite player to watch in the entire NBA. I can't remember anyone like him in the past 30 years. Obviously he's not the best, just...different.

That sounds right. The +/- stat they showed for 2022 had Tatum first overall at +800 something. And I think four of the top five were Celtics with Jokic in the five spot.

Clippers dragging like a team on a BTB. Feel like Brown could get a dunk off a back cut on every play.

60 points in a half against that team is good work, especially since they were only 5 of 20 from 3.

Jalen worked his ass off on defense the entire half. TimeLord strikes fear in the hearts of everyone, including Kawhi and PG, who want nothing to do with him in the paint on offense. Marcus just played an all world half. These guys are playing without Brogdon and if a few more 3s went down, I'd be planning for an early exit.

I'll keep an eye on Tatum when he comes out again. Usually, he heads down the tunnel to use the exercise bike. Nobody around me noticed him going to the locker room.

35 first half points on 26 shots for the Jays
24 first half points on 22 shots for KL/PG
Celtics win the first half by 11

Clips have done the same screen shove at least twice, and probably several more times because it happens every play.

Nice adjustment by Lue, getting JL isolated in White, with better spacing to stop the quick double team

This has the feel of a game that will be won by the team that makes the most threes.

(I realize that's most NBA games now -- just seems especially true on a night when both teams have shot 29 threes already.)
