Imagine if they run out before the NBA Finals.

If they announced the season over and gave the trophy to the Warriors, would anyone complain?

Also De'Aaron Fox's jump from overwhelmed rookie PG to legit starting PG hasn't been talked about nearly enough

Trez and D’Aron Fox have to be top 2 on the rootability scale.

Embiid bottom 5 ldo. Trez talks a little but I never get the sense it’s mean-spirited, almost like he’s pumping himself up.

Pretty much above-average at every rotational piece, extremely unselfish and balanced.

Clippers blow a 14 pt lead in the last few minutes of regulation while never scoring the entire time and now aren't scoring in overtime either. Seen this too many times from the Warriors.

I'm used to the Clippers rolling over and dying when they do something like blow a 14 point lead and get shut out for the final 5 minutes of the game but this Clipper team is awesome and they never give up.

Shame on me for wanting them to tank, this is awesome to watch.

You can’t help but root for them.

With that being said, if this team is kept together and keeps growing, what is their ceiling for this season?

Maybe silvio thinks the league is too black and wants to spark a renaissance of the big white stiff so he can wear his throwback Will Perdue jersey with pride.

Maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see, but sure looks like Dray is saying "He's a *****. He's a *****. He's a *****."

Yeah seemed like it at the end. I think those two are the closest on the team though so maybe it's a lover's quarrel. KD was right though, 6 seconds left that ball needs to get to KD on the rebound.

Yea nothing to see here. Heated, competitive moment. Par for the course especially with Dray involved. He's the type of guy you can't tell him he did wrong without it turning into a back and forth.
