“We’re not ready offensively yet. And our numbers say different. But this is where, analytically, I’m right.”

Clippers forward Moe Harkless for the defense, your honor.

Says Dame: “Just his versatility and his willingness to be a team player, you know? That’s something that we loved about him and I’m sure they love about him here.”

Lakers say Avery Bradley, out with hairline fracture, was cleared by the team doctors Saturday for full contact. He will be out for tomorrow’s game vs. Minnesota and will continue to be day-to-day moving forward.

The Clippers list JaMychal Green as questionable for tomorrow’a game vs. Washington. Landry Shamet and Rodney McGruder are listed as out.

Kawhi Leonard, who typically sits out one end of back-to-backs, is not listed, implying he’ll likely be out vs. Indiana.

“Sometimes you just get your ass kicked. It won’t be the last time we get our assed kicked this season.”

Doc on playing top players more minutes in the first half: “It didn’t work. I guess we did cut it a little bit. We did go early with Lou. Even though we cut it at halftime, I didn’t feel any confidence offensively that we were gonna get it together. Unfortunately, I was right.”

Doc Rivers on the Clippers’ offense: “Games like this really tell us we’re a work in progress. ... We have not maximized them (Kawhi and PG) offensively yet. ... We keep looking at our offensive numbers and I‘ve been saying it: It’s fool’s gold. We’re not ready offensively yet.”

Doc said he almost waved the white flag to start the fourth but was talked out of it. He gave the team a few minutes to rally and they couldn’t so he pulled the closers.

Doc on the difference between the Bucks and the Clippers tonight: “I thought they really looked at this game as a big game with the way they played. I thought we showed up to play a basketball game.“

Doc Rivers to media after Clippers got beat down by Bucks: “Damn, I was hoping you guys didn’t show up — like us.”

Doc: “It was Giannis’s birthday. We searched all over the city to find a gift. Couldn’t find one, so we gave him this one. That’s all I can come up with. That’s the best I got because we were awful. ... I didn’t think we were ready tonight.”

Clippers had 21 turnovers. 5 each by PG, Kawhi and LouWill

Clippers fall to the Bucks 119-91 to drop to 16-7. No other numbers matter from this one.

Up next: at Washington on Sunday night.

Clippers began 6-game trip with a 119-91 spanking by the Bucks. Didn't see this coming, that's for sure

The Clippers have faced some double-digit deficits (at Utah and at San Antonio) but this is the first time they've had their asses kicked in a game.

Patrick Patterson (back spasms) is done for the night, per the Clippers.

Clippers say Patrick Patterson out for rest of game with back spasms.

Bucks lead the Clippers 87-62 through three. This one feels just about over. Clips have struggled all night to create good looks + their D cratered at end of qtr.

MIL w/ Giannis: -3 in 24 minutes
MIL w/o Giannis: +28 in 12 minutes

Clips can't lose the non-Giannis minutes.

Third quarters ends and the Clippers are down 87-62 to the Bucks. The Clippers have 17 turnovers. They have made just 33.8% of their shots.

These are the most telling numbers from this Clippers-Bucks game:

Bucks w/ Giannis on the floor: -3 in 24 minutes
Bucks w/o Giannis on the floor: +29 in 11 minutes

The Clippers have been crushed in the non-Giannis minutes.

Clippers down 25 points in the third quarter. Didn't see this coming.

Make that 16 turnovers by the Clippers in three quarters.

Clippers have turned the ball over 16 times in the third.

Clippers call timeout down 74-58 with 2:54 left in the third.

Critical final 2:54 of this quarter for the Clippers. Have to ideally keep this game under double digits heading into the fourth to have a chance on the road against an opponent of this caliber. The offense hasn't been able to get into any flow tonight.

Pat Beverley just called for his 4th foul trying to take a charge on Giannis

Greek Freak with a 3 pointer for a 65-52 Bucks lead over Clippers. He has a smooth 20 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists.

Bucks fans chanting "You're not loyal!" with Kawhi Leonard at the FT line.

Bucks lead the Clippers 52-43 at halftime. Much better defensive effort from LA in 2nd qtr. Still allowing too many open 3s + fastbreak pts. Both teams struggling from the floor. Feels like Clips are lucky to be down 9.

Kawhi: 11 pts, 3 ast
PG: 8 pts, 5 reb
Trezz: 9 pts, 4 reb

Clippers down 52-43 at the half to Bucks.

This isn't the Clippers' normal first-half rotation. They're playing their key six players heavy minutes. Hasn't paid off with the score but it's clear they want this game.

Fiserv Forum playing "Blem" earns them top-5 arena music status for me.

Clips are trying to stay in this thing -- this is early to see the Trezz-Kawhi-PG-Lou-Pat lineup.

Clips have now lost Giannis twice for wide-open dunks in the halfcourt. Just can't happen.

Bucks lead the Clippers 30-15 after one. About as rough as end to the second half of a quarter as the Clippers have had all season. Bucks lighting them up at the 3-pt line (6 of 14), with all six 3s coming in the final 5 minutes of qtr. Kawhi + PG are a combined 2 of 9 for 5 pts.

Clippers down 30-15 end of first quarter to Bucks. Clippers shooting just 26.1% from the field. Bucks making 42.9% of three-pointers, going 6-for-14. Khris Middleton has 10 points for the Bucks.

PA here just called Trezz "Montrell Harrell."

Bucks have nailed four straight 3s. Clips' tendency to not contain the 3-point line is biting them right now.

Is it just me or is it a little early for Fox Sports West to be touting Clippers v Bucks as a “possible finals preview” 3 times before opening tip? Bucks last in finals 45 yrs ago and the Clips yet to get beyond 2nd round. In April,
maybe. Now? Over-Hype.

Clips played off of Bledsoe last game and it cost them. He walks into an early shot clock 3 here again.

This is one of the first times we've seen PG on a point guard (Bledsoe) this season. Clips starting Moe on Giannis is the smart call. They're using Zu as a roamer off of Lopez, even if it cedes open 3s.
