Pablo and Austin starting tonight in the backcourt.

Pablo and Austin starting tonight in the backcourt. 

Not eem mad, TBH. CP needs the rest and happy that Jamal isn't starting.

 

[lawdog1]

Happy we're only down 5 after 1, TBH. Doc has to stop trying to figure combos that will work offensively and think more about defense.

 

[shoeking2102]

Wes Johnson

Play him more

 

[shoeking2102]

Blake is a crybaby man

 

[lawdog1]

WTF? Blake was doing so well too. Tonight was a carryover from last night. He needs to get his **** together.

 

[shoeking2102]

Game from hell.

 

[lawdog1]

I'm done with this one. DJ has low key sucked the last two games.

 

[shoeking2102]

I really wonder how long its going to take before we start wes johnson. Its so damn obvious.

Thing is though, I don't think demoting Lance would be a good thing.

I hope it was MVP Blake who came back from the road trip last night and whiny baby Blake stayed in Phoenix. Because with CP3 not 100%, we're really going to need the good Blake.

 

[Nipsey3000]

you kinda almost have to start lance. if you dont, he could get into a serious funk and become a cancer on this team.

i would love it if lance could get back to his NYC slashing roots.

but what clippers fans need to understand is we are seeing wacky lineups and odd substitution patterns for a reason. its a long season that honestly doesnt really start until Xmas day. its time to work out the kinks and rotations now. wesley johnson will get his time, crawford will get more minutes with starters so that there is no need for him to be a one man show. PP will get to a point where he is getting to his spots and being effective in crunch time again

i am really getting tired of all the complaining on every single call though. just play ball.

This. I know it's basketball being played at the highest level so emotion will be involved, but they are OD man, especially Blake. I know it's easier said than done, but just go play man.

Yeah, I've seen enough to feel strongly we do have all the right pieces to be a legitimate contender, but it is now a question of finding the right combinations, etc. My concern is though that Doc is going remain loyal enough to Jamal and PP that he's going to give them heavy minutes when we'd be better served having better two-way guys like Wes and Lance playing. We'll see though.

I was at the game last night and you could tell from jump Blake didn't want to play.

Wasted my damn money

That sucks, man. I'd be pissed if I was you too.

Yeah, this whole mentality starts from somewhere...I feel like cp3 began this culture and most players have picked it up. Doc just allows it. It's so bad that even when we are right for arguing, it's looked at as being whiny.

Hope cp3 and jj are 100% or close to it for the warriors game.

 

[shoeking2102]

Cp and JJ out today.

 

[lawdog1]

Cp and JJ out today.

Was assuming that would be the case. Still, since we're at home, and if Blake can manage to be available for the whole game, we should have a chance to win. As I said in the NBA thread though, I expect DJ to be owned by Drummond.

 

[wavycrocket]

DJ gotta get better man.

 

[lawdog1]

Our defense is freaking atrocious right now.

 

[lawdog1]

Absolute food from the 3 point line. It's crazy.

 

[shoeking2102]

Good solid win.

Jamal and BG came through. Keep stacking wins. GSW next up
