Line is OKC -6.5 now. I'd be tempted if I were in Vegas. We have quite a bit going against us in this one. No Kawhi and a huge rest disadvantage. On a back to back with travel while OKC hasn't played since Monday. |

I thought this was the night that DET would get a win against a depleted UTA team. Not looking good right now. Olynyk is having his way with them.

We have the weapons to win tonight. If we stay dedicated to D, move the ball for the best shots and not settle for many long jumpshots that lead to easy layups for a running OKC team. We'll see what this team is made of. I wouldn't be surprised if a tired team runs a lot of iso for PG and Beard for long shots, but we'll see.

CH5 guy is predicting 20 boards for Zub tonight. He's enthusiastic!

I don't think they've missed yet. Lue calls a timeout. I hope he's telling them not to give them any shots, lol.

My computer-like brain tells me we cannot win this game if OKC makes 75% of their shots and half of them are 3s.

They're defense is better than our defense. It's really good! And on the other end they are getting through our outer defense at will and getting good shots every time.

Norm and PG play toreador defense for Giddey to waltz by them both for a layup. C'mon guys, move your feet.

Its a strugglefest but the thing that's working is Westbrook and Powell pushing the ball and driving. They're driving hard. Kudos to the Clips for doing the right thing when being down double digits.

Looks like it'll be a tough one tonight. Okc is good, they create advantages. Harden is off to a tough start.
Brandon Boston a surprise appearance.

The Clips are playing hard and running their plays and getting the shots they want, but everything is hard and every shot is contested the makes are few and hard won. On the other end, not going very well.

This is one of those "Let's get within single digits" ends to a 2nd quarter

Nice finish to get within five at the break. Really doing what they've been doing all game, except the shots are in.

Interesting that we didn't play Theis at all that half
