What are your predictions? Are there any injury/player availability updates?

Biggest game of the season- got a good feeling about this one. Blazers slapped the Clips hard last game, and you've gotta think that the proper adjustments will be made.

Pfft ticky tack fouls on Dunn and now DJJ right now away. Looks like refs aren't going to allow too much physicality.

Not a good start as Klingon hits a 3, now the Avdija layup, and Clips are down 9-2. Good timeout.

Lopez the bingo, now the excellent pass to the cutting KL. Another stop, and Garland drains the corner 3!

Another weak foul called on Dunn- WOW

Another bad call as DJJ blocks Avdija but they say it was a goaltend despite being on the way up

DG drills his second bingo- Clips go up 17-14. Now Garland the reverse layup!

Avdija shoves off on Garland, no foul, and they give Blazers another and 1.

Good job by JMill- steal, now the and 1 to notch the game at 24

Clippers for some reason not taking the shots inside- keeps drive and kicking until Collins throws it away SMH

Mathurin continues his recent struggles- can't draw the foul, now throws the ball away. Clips with a poor finish to the Q, down 33-24.

Clips in a world of hurt now down 16 after that Robert Williams 3- dude shoots 33% and that was just his 8th of the season

Lol RW3 hits another 3, and the Clips are now down 19.

Not a good trend as Clips unable to get stops without fouling.

Kawhi front rims another 3. Clips now just 3 of 16 from deep.

Garland gotta shot that open 3- passed it to Miller who then coughed it up

Gonna be extra tough if KL is going to keep missing those midrange J's

Get outta here- Clingan flings in ANOTHER 3. Blazer centers of 5 of 6 from deep

3 bingos in a row now by the Clips- Lopez, Miller and now Dunn from the corner, and it's down to 13.

The Klaw finally calls bingo, now Dunn the putback! Clips cut it to 10 at the half!

Nice play outta the half- DJJ drills the open bingo up top

5 point game as Kawhi nails the mini J. Wow now Derrick gets hit now shooting a 3, no call. These refs man.

Lopez pump fake, reloads and drills the bingo! Ugh now Holiday a dangerous foul on DJJ who is hurt on the ground on the fastbreak. Thankfully he is up now but definitely not 100%.

Flagrant 1 on Holiday. DJJ hits both, cuts it to 1, stays in the game.

But Garland throws it away and Kawhi doesn't retaliate with a hard foul on Holiday's fastbreak

You can only hope makes like that off the dribble 3 by Sharpe will brick in the 4th, a 34% 3 point shooter

DJJ bingo from the corner, game tied at 77! Terrific drive and dish by KL

Ugh Garland now coughs it up with the Clips with the chance to take the lead again

Miller bingoooooo! Clips finally lead 82-79!

Why does Garland keep running out every time a shot goes up? Just one less guy putting a body on people...

An obvious foul on the Blazers as they yank on Garland's sleeve and refs almost didn't call it SMH. The back ref had to call that. At the end of 3Q- Clips now down just 2.

Why does Garland keep running out every time a shot goes up? Just one less guy putting a body on people...

Yeah Clips need everyone to crash the defensive boards- cannot afford many more of these offensive rebounds after you worked so hard on D to get a stop.

Miller, Collins, Garland on the floor together? Uh, ohhhh... we better score, cause they're not gonna stop anyone...

Refs now don't call the foul again on the Miller layup, and of course they call Jordan for a delay of game

Kobe Sanders gives the Clips the lead with the stepback over Robert Williams!

I'm a little bummed that Math is in the doghouse. He deserves to be there, but I just hate to see it... #BearDown

Sorry to say that if there's a 50/50 ball and John Collins is involved- the other team tends to end up with it. Now JC misses his second layup of the game.

This small ball lineup is doing a good job on defense. The Klaw in now for DG

I'm a little bummed that Math is in the doghouse. He deserves to be there, but I just hate to see it... #BearDown

Yeah his confidence is pretty low right now. I think with this Blazer defense it makes it tough for him to draw fouls which is a huge part of his game, and thus the reduced minutes. It'd do wonders for him if he's able to knock down some jumpers.

Ugh they give Avdija another and 1- where was the foul? Clips now down 7.

Big bingo by Lopez- cuts it to 6

What was that? Avdija just strolls to the basket for the layup, and the Clippers are in a boatload of trouble. Brook's tech there doesn't help. 13 point deficit now, 3:26 to go.

Garland gets decked again, no foul of course. Looks like the fix is in as the NBA wants to see the Blazers as the 8th seed.

Ty Lue waves the white flag with 2 minutes to go. Clips just outclassed again on the 50/50 balls and at the FT line. 33 to 12 FT attempts- that's just something you can't overcome.

Clips now have to beat GS- which they should be able to, then have to beat the Suns/Blazers. Sure hope it's vs the Suns because it doesn't look like this team, without Harden, is able to beat Portland any longer.

Well, onto Sunday. BTW, I can't stand this iteration of the Blazers.
