Ty Lue was disappointed with the energy and lack of physicality the Clippers came with tonight in loss to Memphis. "I don't think we brought a defensive mindset." Clippers get another crack at Grizzlies tomorrow in back-to-back at Memphis.
LA teams will be favored regardless of standings, but the Jazz look like legit contenders. One West scout compared them to the ā03-04 Pistons champs ā defensively dominant, deep, unselfish: āI thought Utah needed another star, but Iāve changed on that.ā

Who wouldāve thought that the Laker off that vaunted 2017 Summer League championship team to get a Manscaped sponsorship would be Alex Caruso and not Lonzo BALL. https://t.co/bzvI6nXg0h
The Clippers will have 7 back-to-backs in the upcoming second half portion of the schedule. They have one stretch where they play nine straight home games. And they finish the season with a four-game road swing in six days at Toronto, Charlotte, Houston and OKC.

Paul George is an All-Star again, another āmilestoneā in his bounce-back season. But he also joined a chorus of players who donāt think there should be an All-Star Game this year and he has āpersonal reasonsā why https://t.co/xpXzTDFop9
All-Star is further validation of how good Paul George's season is going and he's appreciative. But he also admitted he's "not a fan of (holding ASG)" amid pandemic. "I got fined for having a teammate over yet we having (it). I got personal reasons why I disagree with the game."
The Nuggets combined for 1 turnover tonight āĀ breaking the record for fewest turnover in a single game in NBA history.
