It's the schedule and the result of the CP3 trade. Clippers are thin with the pieces they gave up, just like Miami is thin because they've used most of their cap on 3 players. Take away a team's best player and that already makes it tough to win. Add to that the fact the Clippers they played last night and are now facing a rested team...on the road. The Jazz should win and win easily.CJ always tends to play well against athletic fast break teams. He's getting good shots off at will. Millsap played like the best player on the floor. I don't know how the Clippers are 7-3 - they look like garbage and gave up in the third quarter. And Raja is playing well tonight - probably his best overall night of the season.
Clippers indeed have the edge for this game but I won't be surprised either if we pull out the win.
Reward who is playing well ... on the fly.
