LAC -6.5
Does anyone believe the Clips should be favored by 6 on the road in Philly, after what happened at home?

While this game doesn't fall into this category, I think I saw a stat a while ago that most of the time when a team loses by 50, the next time they play that same team again, they win.
Maybe Philadelphia won by more than they "should" have, last time?
Anyways, I rarely like looking at lines.

See if the team responds to Lue calling them soft. They haven’t responded to anything else, including being called old by Minny, so I am not hopeful.

It's hard to stay optimistic, but the problems are definitely coming back to the defensive end and most are effort issues. If Lue can't get this team to play with effort then he's gonna need to go. Our players have been completely dying on screens lately, that's effort. The other problem is we keep playing drop coverage when Zu is in. This is why Lue ended up benching him against the Mavs. It's too easy for guards to go crazy on us against that defense, which basically has him sagging off by 5 feet while his man screens the defender. You need to be switchable or have a big that can guard a little bit on the perimeter. This is why Lue always wants to go to small ball. Instead of just having the team rotate and cover for each other. It is a little more complex because it forces you to make decisions on defense, but we saw when Haliburton can just dribble into an easy pull up 3 it's not just wow another team is just super hot shooting the ball against us.

Unbelievable the odds makers keep believing in the Clips. Big road trip to either stay in fourth or drop down however low. No way they are even sniffing the third seed now.

The oddsmakers are not reading the teams, they are reading the bettors. They don't set the spread according to which team is going to win, they set the spread according to how the bettors will bet; they need 50% to bet one way and 50% to bet the other way, that's how they make their money.

I get to watch this game live while I work out. No idea what to expect from this team but they had better step up the energy level.

Ty Lue loading up his lips with chapstick. He's ready for battle!

Live by the jumpshot, die by the jumpshot. Shooting's been poor lately so how about running some pick and rolls for penetration instead of tong twos.

Nice start. Play-in bound, baby!
My only hope is that this team craps out so badly that Harden will leave, after proving in December and January that he can be good when he wants to be. Which is all he ever does.
They'll still suck; that's a given. But at least without him they will be fun to watch again.

Wow, 18-pt first quarter. Coach Lue refuses to adjust his game plan away from the jumpshot barrage.
Pts in the paint 8 to 16. Philly has almost as many pts in the paint as the Clippers have total points.
