How many things have to go against the Clippers? The schedule. The Kawhi injury. The alley-oop. I mean, even the last few seconds tonight. Terance Mann fouled: no call. Ball off Payne: no review.

Most coaches seem to have their veteran player kryptonite. For Vinny, it was Chauncey. For Doc, it was Trezz and any ex-Celtic. For Ty, it seems like it’s Marcus. The previous 2 LAC coaches lost playoff series because of that blind spot. Seems like we’re headed down that path now

For all the completely fair discussion of how injuries have shaped Phoenix’s run, this was the metric that caught my eye the most going into the playoffs: They went 17-7 (70%) vs. teams with a top-ten point differential. They’ve been the best team vs. the best teams.
