DeAndre Jordan is washed and shouldn’t be in a playoff rotation. I’d play Willie Cauley-Stein or Paul Reed over him at this point. – 7:49 PM

Does D.J. Augustin address more pressing needs than DeAndre Jordan? Absolutely. But is he as good at throwing passes into the third row? Only time will tell. AK – 7:46 PM

DeAndre Jordan is a Doc Rivers guy. Wouldn’t be a big upgrade, but an upgrade. – 7:38 PM

Rudy Gobert last night:
✅ 14 PTS
✅ 17 REB
✅ 3 BLK
✅ 6-6 FG
Gobert has 27 career games in which he’s recorded a double-double without missing a shot from the field.
The only player in NBA history with more such games is DeAndre Jordan (36). pic.twitter.com/0CPGMRILRA10:41 AM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
It will be interesting to see if Lue has to go to small lineups at some point in this second half. Zubac is in foul trouble, and obviously Lakers aren’t playing DeAndre Jordan when Howard sits.
Lue burns a timeout after an uneven start to second half. Clippers still up 61-54. – 11:36 PM
