LA Clippers fall to Utah Jazz 102-91

Chris Paul has been playing at a high level as of late for the Clippers, averaging 18.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 9.2 assists, 2.2 steals, and 1.8 three-pointers over the last five games.

“Wes was awesome”, Paul said. The starters have to be efficient with their shots, and you just can’t do that consistently on exhausted legs.

Now there are no hints on who exactly would be the players that would be shipped out from the line-up if Clippers would indeed go with the reshuffling.

“After the game, just being very honest, very heartfelt when I apologized to them”, Nuggets coach Michael Malone said.

“We have to defend them better”, he said.

The Clippers may send Jordan to Celtics and Stephenson and Smith to the worst struggling team of this edition’s National Basketball Association, the Sixers.

Danilo Gallinari led Denver with 20 points and had a career-high 18 rebounds.

“I haven’t won here against the Clippers and I’ve wanted to for a long time”, Hayward said. “The coaches have had to tell me to take him out because he’s about to pass out”, Malone smiled. If New Orleans can just be average, they’ll radically improve their chances for a win.

“You’ve just got to see it go in sometimes and I guess that’s what it was”, said Griffin, who went on to make his next two jumpers as the Clippers took an 11-point lead by the end of the third quarter.

His dunk on a lob from Paul gave the Clippers a 110-93 lead.

Smith isn’t anything close to what Blake Griffin is, but if Doc wants the efficient and productive Griffin he got at the beginning of the season, he has to get him rest. In that stretch, he either scored or assisted on every bucket, turning what was a Jazz deficit to a 9 point Jazz lead that they would never relinquish.

While Malone may have joked about his team’s role in history, and eventually saw his Nuggets fall to Golden State 118-105, one thing the Denver head coach is not joking about is the abundance of young talent now taking the court for the Nuggets. “You have to have a short-term memory”. He’s been one of our most consistent players and shooters.

G J.J. Redick had 12 of his 16 points in the first half of a win Tuesday. In his first two years with LA, the team finished either first or second in the Pacific Division, setting a franchise-best 57 regular seasons wins in the 2013-14 season.

Since their November 7th game against Houston, the Clippers have given up almost 106 points per game and have held three teams to fewer than 102 points. They are 5-7 when that happens. The f-bombs that could clearly be heard from the Clippers locker room Sunday afternoon made flawless sense.

Joffrey Lauvergne has been out for almost a month now with a back injury. Utah has records of 2-3 SU and ATS against the West. Utah’s three-point defense is one of the top in the league, with opponents making only 7.0 shots from the three-point line per game. He finished with nine points.

DENVER_It was the kind of fling one might try in the backyard, if there was no one around to see how silly you looked. With this current standing and team performance, it can not be helped the rumors of restructuring the roster would surface. “They were frustrated with us fouling DeAndre. Trust me, I’m not a fan of it, but it’s a rule that you can use”.
