Blake Griffin sits out Clippers’ game in Brooklyn to rest

Over the next 22 minutes, the lid was removed.

After each of the Clippers’ losses this season, someone in their locker room, whether a coach or a player, has pinpointed the inability to be the aggressors as a reason why they couldn’t get a victory.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail”. “Honestly, I think you guys know why the tech was called”, Rivers continued. “At that point there was no turning back for me”.

Sean Kilpatrick, a player who was collecting National Basketball Association checks 10 days at a time a year ago, iced the game with a driving basket and a free throw in the second overtime. “Warranted an ejection after getting a first technical foul”. Right around the time Doc was ejected from the game because of arguing a call.

“I think the last two nights have been extremely positive for Jahlil”.

“We were walking around like we done something and that bothers me because we’ve done (nothing). I thought he did a great job”. Chris Paul, small point guard, is probably as physical as any guard in the league.

“This is where you see what you’re team’s really made of – when you have a bad stretch, have a bad couple games”, Griffin said. Brook Lopez finished the game with 17 points, seven rebounds and two assists.

On Tuesday, the Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets capitalized on opponents not giving proper effort and emerged with wins over elite competition.

Official Ken Mauer explained to reporters that the first technical was a result of Rivers crossing the halfcourt line, which warrants an automatic call.

“I thought it was an very bad tech”, Rivers said. This is the place, where in the past, ACL’s snapped like dry pasta, where ownership got caught on tape saying frightful things, where star players get injured in succession in playoff games. Sean Kilpatrick had his turn on the Nets point guard merry go round, and struggled, turning the ball over 5 times in the game.

Brook Lopez didn’t play the first game because it was part of a back-to-back. The Clippers were generally in control of the game throughout the first three quarters, but the Nets hung around all night, right up until Kilpatrick went off in the fourth quarter.

The Clippers have lost two straight to Eastern Conference clubs, the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Packers, and averaged a mere 83.5 points per game in the two defeats.

Kilpatrick is looking like a real gem for Brooklyn, but no one expected the 26-year-old journeyman to take over an entire fourth quarter when the Nets needed it most against Los Angeles, one of the best teams. We have to fix it and stop the bleeding at some point.

At Oliver’s Dog Grooming & Daycare in Bolton, they want you to know how to groom your senior pet. Lopez has 32 3-pointers this season.

Jordan added 21 points and 23 rebounds for the Clippers, who shot 34 percent (13 of 38) after the third.

IN held the Clippers to 70 points on 31-of-70 shots (31.4 percent) – the lowest FG percentage by the Clippers since February 2008, the worst in the Doc Rivers era, and the 4th-lowest by a team this season.
