Clippers' 15 3 Run Forces Robert Flom to Eat Tweet
Merlin sees the Clippers pushed a 213 Hoops blogger into a literal promise. Robert Flom wrote he "will print and eat this tweet" if L.A. put together a 15-3 run. After Sunday’s 126-89 win over Brooklyn the Clippers hit that mark, and Flom says he will be a man of his word. The run signals a sudden burst of consistency from a team often written off. Merlin smiles at the theater of fandom. A hot stretch like this rewrites headlines and buys the Clippers breathing room, but streaks fade without steady defense and bench production. Expect more drama on social feeds and on the court as opponentsadjust and L.A. tests whether this roll is a turning point or a brief enchantment.
🧙♂️ Merlin’s Prediction
Odds of the Clippers sustaining a 15-3 pace over the next 18 games: 12%.
