Light the Beam. Hell yeah!
Screw em.
I think we need to get our "us against the world" mentality back. That underdog trying to punch up with the established powers of the league. Fox absolutely had the "You go to hell first" mentality and was going right at the Clippers. That Powell play really sticks out in my mind; gets scored on defense and just takes the ball himself, gets in the post and scores right back on him. That's the killer mindset that wins in the playoffs.

LOVE hearing the loud chants of “LIGHT THE BEAM” coming in LA on national television!

You gotta love the guy who cheers every possession, and daps everyone for a big win, a team he only became a member of for, maybe a month?

Best defensive game of the year. Give the DPOG to the whole team.

Great win. No PG13, getting whooped last time, you have to come out with that one. Fox still doing what he has to for this season to have a positive outcome.

What a great win…. ESPN announcers really clueless. It was kind of like they were just barely watching the game. I love the talk about Domas assist stats like they are inflated and as their example reference a clear fast break assist (calling it a hockey assist at first for some reason). I will have to rewatch this one later with our local broadcast.

An angry Fox is a hella ferocious animal to deal with for sure!

Never let off on both ends. Answered to Clippers every attempt to come back. Hopefully this symbolizes the whole team getting hot at the right time.
I still don't understand this point from you.
Yes, we need Fox to be a top 10 player to be successful. Why is that bad? He's capable, he has the talent and he's got enough around him that if he performs like this, we can go beat anybody.
I get you've been beating the drum for to add another high USG player, but it really just does not make any sense. The goal should be to put Fox and Domas in as good a place as we can support wise and let them take this thing as high as they can. I don't want the ball out of their hands; I want guys around them that make them better and give them a chance to go win playoff series.
And we've seen how pedestrian we look when Fox plays poorly (by his standards). Probably still a playoff team, but one that's playoff fodder for just about anybody. When he's locked in, I think we got the horses around him now that we can go toe to toe with just about anybody in the West.
It's starts with him and Domas playing like this 90% of the time. He just can't take games off anymore if we want to be a second round playoff team and above. He's got be right there with Domas showing up at a top 10 level game in and game out.

We played great defense on some tough makes too. Especially Keegan, he has a bunch of nice possessions that still resulted in La baskets. If he defended some of those any better they are fouls. Gotta live with that

Good win. But I do not like light the beam chants in others teams stadiums. If an opposing team did that in Golden One I would like to knock them on their ass.

Some people forget the Clips basically added another hall of famer for nothing this past summer. We matched up well with them last season and i feel like it was super tough to adjust to that added wrinkle this year. It felt really good to see how our team responded, particularly on the defensive end tonight. The focus was different.
