What a block by Gobert. That was tremendous and it came after multiple contests.

Still could have fouled when you are up by 3, though. Lol.
Yea but there is a chance the guy makes the first and misses the second and we don't get the rebound. Then they make the 3pt and you lose. I know it is a small chance but I have seen it happen. Playing great defense is the better choice because even if they make a 3pt the game is tied.

Ehh, I foul for sure up 3 if the team has no timeouts and there isnt much time left.

Unless the refs call a phantom foul on said 3pt shot...
 
Miss 21 shots in a row, down 13 at half, a group of Clippers not named PG or KL shoot 65% from three with 11 makes, a blatant missed traveling and out of bounds call on Kawhi in final 2+ minutes resulting in 5 points..only to have the 3x DPOY save the day with a swat; satisfying.

It's my new PC wallpaper. Hopefully I get a new one on Thursday!
 
I disagree, not when Rondo had the ball. He gave it up with ~10s to go, there is no point in fouling then. Rondo isn't historically a good FT shooter, but he does have 94% for the season, and LAC had a timeout. If you foul then, you give yourself an opportunity to lose. I think it was a good strategy.
I think you always should foul. Even if the guy you are fouling is a 100% free throw shooter.
If they make both free throws then you are still up 1 point with the ball and like 5 seconds left.
I prefer to be up by 1 rather than tied up which is what you risk by not fouling.

I thought they were good, both of them. Also, while the refs certainly had some crucial calls in favor of LAC, we did get some as well. Not sure it was that lopsided all in all.
I thought we got the calls in the first half and the clippers got the calls in the second half
