Wow, that was diasppointing. Midway through the third I tought it "felt" like we were on the verge on winning. I absolutely don't understand why Rick went away from the twin towers and, more importantly, the zone. Maybe he feared thr Clippers would finally hit open shots? I mean we scrambled good so I realldy don't know what his rational was here.
Luka looked pretty passive the whole game tbh, I guess he is still bothered by the injury. Kawhi was a monster, like usually. The only good sign was that we did not get absolutely killed in those Luka-less-minutes. He even got reasonable rest in the first half (5.5 minutes iirc) but the 4th was a problem again so he had to come back after something like 2 minutes).
Our only hope is that Rick might change something rastic, again, and win the chess-match. But as of right now, Kawhi gets what he wants and is almost automatic while Luka made the right plays but the Clippers wanted this. They dared the others to beat them, which they failed to do. Luka has to be more aggressive driving the ball.
