Harden with the nail in the coffin off the glass 3 pointer and 1. Amir gave us great minutes, I'm shocked how good of a season he's having. That was an amazing shot. Defender wasn't trying to foul it was just one of those no-win situations for the defender given the impossibility of predicting where Harden was going to move to on the shot.

Awesome to see Coffey getting late mins and contributing big time. Kawhi and Harden dominating. Westbrook, Theis also huge off the bench. Looks like a great road win. ✊🏼 This is the most I've seen Coffey playing in crunch time in a while.

Interesting that Coffey was in and not Mann.

Kawhi is shooting 53%/45%/89% this season. All career highs. He's out there honing his craft. He's Kyuzo.

Interesting that Coffey was in and not Mann. I've been wondering if there is a point that the Clips will realize that Coffey should be starting over Mann.

I hope Coffey can maintain it for a playoff run, haven't really seen him play for us there. The surprising part for me at least is I watched Coffey play in the SL 2 years ago and even though he's just a role player I remember thinking that well he's already played a few years in the NBA so he should dominate in SL, but he was pretty unremarkable. Even if you do really well in SL, sometimes those guys don't translate but if you can't even stand out there I usually figure you don't have much of a chance to even become a role player.

The difference here is that in the SL, and in the GL for that matter, he was not on the court surrounded by players like Kawhi, PG and Harden that draw 90% of the opponent’s attention. But what has particularly impressed lately is how well he has defended. And although he and Mann are both good defenders, Coffey is bigger and longer than Mann. And although both he and Mann are good shooters/scorers, Coffey has been better than Mann in that department as well.

Woj is wrong. We're not 25-5 over Kawhi's last 30 games. We're 27-3 over his last 30 games.

Yeah he seems to be the rare case of the SL player that doesn't up his game in that environment. I thought he wasn't very good last year even though the year before that he had shown decent signs in limited minutes. He's def taken a step this year. He's very in control and seems to know when to be aggressive and when to defer, but he def is making teams pay when they try to get by on leaving him and put more attention on our other guys.

I like the FT%.
Argument for greatest all around shooter, or shooting stretch.
What's his ORTG in that span? It might be 131+.
