Couple days ago, the Clippers were 1-11 from 3-point range in the first quarter.
Tonight, a little better: 5-5, with 6:31 to play in first period. – 10:23 PM

Clippers make their first 5 3s.
They have missed their first 5 2s.
Keep Portland Weird, I guess…
Clippers lead 15-9 with 6:31 left in first quarter. You’d be shocked to learn that Portland has as many turnovers (4) as buckets already. – 10:22 PM

This is a 15-5 Clippers run. And then there’s a steal by Bledsoe, who was playing the passing lane just as aggressively as Chauncey Billups had noted before tipoff. – 10:21 PM

The way the Clippers guard the pick and roll with Dame means Nurk is going to have a lotttttt of chances to make a play 4-on-3. He hasn’t been particularly good at it so far. But it’s going to be there all night. – 10:20 PM

Tonight against Portland, the Clippers are making a change with their guard roles. Eric Bledsoe had been the lead ballhandler up to this point, partly as a way to help him learn the playbook. That responsibility goes to Reggie Jackson tonight, with Bledsoe playing more off ball. – 10:13 PM

They’re having a guest PA announcer for starting lineups for Latinx Heritage Night, but they gave him an outdated starting lineup. He introduced Norm Powell while Covington was on the screen, and Nassir Little (not the starting lineup) when he should have introduced Powell. – 10:12 PM

The Trail Blazers’ pregame hype video goes with a Blade Runner type of vibe of players walking around the city in hologram form. I like it. – 10:10 PM

Surprised Durant wasn’t automatically ejected for throwing the ball into the stands. Intention doesn’t matter.
Remember Paul George accidentally kicking it into the stands, wide of the basket stanchion? – 9:22 PM

Tyronn Lue on Clippers shooting: “Our shots are going to fall. So, I’m not too concerned about it. It’s just, we’re not making shots right now.”
Chauncey Billups on Damian Lillard: “I know that he’s… you know. It’s like a ticking time bomb right now.”

Chauncey Billups said the film from Monday’s loss vs. LAC was almost too bad to show the film. Asked if LAC’s brutal loss Wednesday vs. Cleveland felt the same, Ty Lue said, “you get four of those a year, and we had one already.” – 8:48 PM

Ty Lue was telling Terance Mann to shoot when he’s open at shootaround this morning. He reiterated that tonight, saying that Mann has put the work in to let it fly whenever he’s open for a good look. – 8:32 PM

Ty Lue on the Clippers’ cool shooting so far: “Shooting is down all around the league right now … biggest thing is keep playing the right way … and our shots are gonna fall.” – 8:29 PM
