What are your predictions? Which match-ups are you looking forward to seeing?

DJJ the corner bingo to start, and now Kawhi does it from the other side

Now Garland joins in, 9-zip Clips!

Garland now returns the favor, assists Dunn on that bingo

Nifty spin inside by Leonard for 2, 16-10 Clips

What a steal by Dunn picking Brunson's pocket 1v1

Clips with a few too many empty trips, but at least are hitting 3's- lead 28-24 after 1Q

Lol Towns gets rejected by the rim on the dunk attempt, and Garland runs the other way and drills a bingo- assist KL

Garland, using the big screen set by Lopez, drills the bingo!

Kawhi having his way inside the paint- another deuce inside, this time via the reverse

Kawhi with the sick dribble move, drills the long J. He has the last 10 points for the Clips who lead 62-53.

Mathurin speeds past Towns for the baseline layup, now Garland attacks downhill, kicks to Kawhi for the bingo. Timeout Knicks! Clips now up 77-64.

Clipper D showing up- just smothering Brunson. Nice play there Lopez the alley, Mathurin the oop!

The Clipper bench faltering- Knicks with 8 in a row, and the Clipper lead is sliced to 7. Maybe put Kobe Sanders in for Jackson and go small.

That's a big 3 by Garland after dancing into the corner to dodge Towns

Garland is just next-level quick. Wow. Sets up another open 3, which DJJ splashes home!

Giant bingo by the Lopez after the Knicks had cut it to 5!! Clips 112-104, 3:37 to go

Mathurin, the new Clippper "good" Westbrook, and 1! He has 25 now, *19* in the second half.

Jones Jr, who had blocked Brunson seconds earlier, calls game with that bingo!

With yet another statement win vs a good team, the Clippers have finally reached .500. Just an unbelievable turnaround after that atrocious 6-21 start. And there's a lot more to this team's ceiling. It's going to be so much fun seeing how far they can rise.

I saw the end, great game from what I saw.

I'll never turn on him because he's from Zona (Bear Down)...

...but someone on the team or staff needs to talk to Math about his vision.

The second dude touches the ball, he's 1 on 5. Worst I've in a long time.

I can't believe how fun the season has become after what we experienced earlier this year.

Never thought I'd enjoy .500 basketball so much, LOL

Highlights:

We are so much better after the trades. I wish Harden and Zu well but they aren’t missed. It’s exciting knowing we can play with anyone and next year when YKN is back and healthy we’ll have as good a shot at the Larry as we’ve ever had. Enough about next year…when Collins returns we’ll have a puncher’s chance this season.

Speak for yourself... as much as I am hopeful for the new additions. Zu and Harden (maybe less so) are missed by me.

Watching that IND game was the most blue I have been in a while.

I actually put that game in my calendar and made it a point to watch it on a TV with audio... I really wanted to go in person. It was a little heart wrenching.

Do I think we were too stacked at C and it was a logical move, yes. But I still feel what I feel now.

Yeah he does force up some iffy shots. Apparently, he’s been instructed by the coaches to just be aggressive. Good thing though is that he’s drawing a lot of fouls. Like his motor as well. He can miss a layup, but then he races back the other way on defense.

Lopez can do anything Zu could, It's so much fun not watching Harden. It's the exact opposite of what Ballmer wanted and it's the most fun since before 213. All the guys are playing with more freedom because everybody gets touches. This is the Brand-Sam/Lou-Trez Clipps we remember A great DTS team (yeah I'll burn in hell for that one). Konan will be better than Zu. I'd love to see a game if only somebody will pay me $200. We have rebuilt without rebuilding. Sanders is now getting minutes for the future

Still a ways to go to figure out line ups. I hope he spreads the minutes around
