Like mattdalt said ... mad respect!
Clippers were down 31, now down 3 with 5:34 left.
THREE FOR SHAMET TO TAKE THE LEAD!!!
Anyone see that shot from Landry.
This team can sign two max free agents too, mind you.
Will be funny that Clippers will be the better team in LA, even with LeBron at the Lakers.
I've heard a few talking heads mention the Clippers flipping their young core for Anthony Davis this summer. If that turns out to be the case, I hope Landry is not in the group that gets traded. This team plus Kawhi could be pretty good, this team plus Kawhi and AD is definitely a contender.
It really seems like the Clippers have made all the right moves since Jerry West started helping out, but I am hopeful they don't blow their cap space this summer. If Kawhi stays in Toronto, worst case scenario is that the Clippers blow their cap space on guys like Jimmy Butler and Kemba Walker. This team plus Butler and Walker is marginally better and likely full of dysfunction.
Either way, Landry has already made one team regret trading him. Hopefully he gets to stay in LA for a while longer. Though, I'll admit that I definitely prefer the east coast game times of the Raptors.
And a collective "WHOOOOPS!!!" was heard round the globe.
I heard on the radio that the Clippers' 31-point comeback was an NBA record for largest comeback ever in the playoffs and it was made against one of the best teams in the league.
The Clippers outscored the Warriors 72-37 over the final 19:30 of the game.
The Clippers closed to within 14 at the end of the 3rd quarter. Landry makes a trey to open the 4th quarter to make it 108-97. Landry with a nice dish at about the 6:30 mark. Landry with the game winning 3 pointer with 16 seconds left in the game. The Clips added a couple of free throws. Lou Williams was unconscious for the Clippers.
Glad I stuck with it. First thing I did after the game was check what the Warriors biggest lead was (31). Historical feat.
When the lead went to 31 with about 7:30 minutes left in the 3rd, the Clippers had just a .01% chance of coming back and winning.
Landry 32 minutes, 4-9 FG, all three-pointers4 rebounds, 3 assists , 2 steals, 2 turnovers, 12 points and a +15. Second best +/- was Williams at +7.
Landry was clutch and played his role within the team last night. Outstanding and couldn't be happier for him.
Lou Williams is one of the most underrated players in the league, IMO. So consistent.
