NBA score: Clippers look lazy, passive and hopeless

After a full day of soccer yesterday, it’s time to fix the basketball. Packers fans too. This is a safe place.

Sunday’s NBA scores are going up quickly.

Sixers Handle Piston, 123-111

76ers head coach Doc Rivers said he’s “not sure” if Joel Embiid, who has been dealing with a sore left foot after missing Sunday’s game against the Pistons, will be able to face Detroit on Tuesday. His absence might not matter as long as he continues to play for the Pistons. The Phillies, led by James Harden’s 20-11-11 triple-double, gave Detroit their fourth loss in six games with a 12-point win. After the game, Rivers said, “I hate to use this example, but when he’s playing like this, it’s like Magic Johnson scoring on the floor. .”

What a concept: Sixers are good when James Harden plays well. Considering they’ve won 4 out of the last 5, check it out.

Blazers continue to slide, lose to Raptors, 117-105

In other news, Toronto posted a three-game losing streak against Portland on Sunday, with Pascal Siakam on 27 and Scotty Barnes on 22. Gary Trent Jr. added 19 against his former team, while Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby each added 14. This could be seen as a turning point for the Raptors, but the final 15, I will go ahead and hedge that bet.

T-Wolves win 4th straight in epic comeback, Ground Rockets, 104-96

Hawks lose 6th straight to Clippers

Los Angeles Clippers, ladies and gentlemen.

This sequence serves as a perfect epitome of basketball as the Clippers are currently on a six-game losing streak: lazy, hopeless, lazy, reluctant, etc. And/or the “they need time to gel” excuse is becoming incredibly stupid. We are probably already at that point. In fact we have probably been there for a while.

Pacers beat Hornets 116-111 in late surge

Pacers goodThey have been for some time. No, a tight win over a poor Hornets doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence, but you can’t blow down every team’s door every night, right? Even more so if, like Indy, he is 8-2 in his last 10 fights.

one more. He said it 1,001 times before, so now it’s the 1,002nd time. Stop letting Miles his Turner float in trade rumors. He thrives in Indiana. 29 points, 9 boards, 4 block levels of prosperity. let my man live

Jareth Grizzlies beat Jazz 123-118

Memphis doesn’t even need Ja Morant to beat a near-strong Utah State team—no Colin Sexton, but that’ll only increase the team’s mass shooting rate with relative ease. Desmond Bane scored 24 and led the way with nine assists. Best backup in the NBA his points his guard Tyus Jones added 21 and 6. Jaren Jackson Jr. packed the stat sheet and finished with 19 points, 8 rebounds and 5 blocks. Additionally, Morant was a painful late scratch on his thigh. He doesn’t seem worried.

Speaking of jazz…

i think they are ok.

Thunder beat Mavs without Luca 120-109, 33 points behind SGA

Cavs lose 6th straight to Suns, driving 112-98

Darius Garland was Phoenix’s best player on Sunday, recording 22 points, seven assists and two stolen bases as his Cavaliers beat the Suns by 14 points. DeAndre Ayton (14 points, 11 boards, 6 assists) led the Suns. Phoenix, frankly, sucks right now. Without Devin Booker, the Suns can’t seem to buy a win, as they’ve gone 1-9 over the past decade, dropping him to No. 8 in the West. Weft.

Survive a heat with a 102-101 buzzer and lose a KD in the process

Lois O’Neill is the main character…

…but Kevin Durant comes to mind. He ended the game in the fourth after Jimmy Butler stumbled after missing a layup and landed on Durant’s knee. Of course, his status is unknown, but he didn’t look good.
