What I love about this sequence...
On the second three, ALL FOUR CLIPPERS on the break run to the three point line. It was four on three, and CP3, Mo, Chauncey and Caron all ran to different parts of the arc. That’s crazy, but why not, the way they were shooting.
If you watch the start of the next possession, Mo recognizes, while he’s still in the backcourt, that OKC is confused defensively and that no one has him. He’s jumping up and down to get the ball, and once he does he sprints to the arc for the pull up three.
Ralph’s BINGO after the fourth three is epic. Perhaps only the Steve Novak game winner against NJ rivals it.
This all happened with Griffin and Jordan on the bench. Evans was playing center, Butler power forward. That is not a lineup I would expect to work — and they ran off 12 straight in 50 seconds! Of course it was flukey, but it was great fun.

One more thing I love
On two of the four threes (the second and the fourth) there were three passes from three different Clippers before the shot. The second went Williams to Paul to Billups to Butler. The fourth went Butler to Paul to Williams to Billups. I’m not sure there was a dribble in either sequence of passes.

Definitely a thing of beauty
All shooters know exactly where to go. The defense is completely disorganized.
Such a deflating sequence.

Sure, it was bound to get overlooked after violated Perky's personal space
but yes, this was a major highlight of the year so far.
Mo Williams is turning out to be our Bill Simmons Irrational Confidence guy – he is just feeeeeelin’ it this year.
I wonder if he’ll ever go Blake-Butler-Billups-Mo-CP3 in a game if we needed a run of points to get us going?
Bingo! Oh me oh my!
i literally almost fell out of my seat
during this sequence. Albeit it was kinda a wobbly barstool to begin with, but had to catch myself. I think it was easily worth the embarrassment should I have fallen though.
Tracy McGrady vs San Antonio all over again.
That was so beautiful.

kinda like what i try to do in 2k12
three pgs, caron at the 4, and a bunch of shots launched from behind the arc. but even in the video game it never looks this good.
wow. after years of watchin the clips struggle with outside shootin, this is really fun to watch.
Not even in the top 10 on SC??

Not really a play as much as it is a sequence

They've done that before though
Shown a sequence as a top 10…. SC isn’t picky like that.

BIG TIME ENERGY IN THE BUILDING.
That run was awesome, the Clippers are learning how to respond and this was a prime example.

We need to keep this recced
Anytime I get down with this team I want to bask in these 90 seconds of glory.
i literally have never seen that many points scored that quickly
or that type of momentum deflate a team thats THAT good. This is cool as hell to watch.
Jeremy Stearn- Keith Closs for Prez!
While the Clips run was great
Watch this! Many of the younger fans never have seen this guy at his best.

I have never seen him at his non-injured prime
but I have seen this and other highlights before. Amazing.
