There are different personalities in life. Some people have to openly express their anger and frustration and show everyone that they are mad, dissatisfied, etc.
Other people just move on because from their perspective, "crying" about it isn't going to change the past or make it better in the future.
If you're the type who is more reactionary in the moment, you think the non reactionary people "don't care" or "aren't concerned" or don't have passion. On the other hand, people who are more, "it's over, no point crying over spilled milk, clean it up and let's move on and figure it out, life isn't over" might think that the dwellers are dramatic and excessive or just putting on show.
Pretty funny isn't it.

Plus/minus isn't everything but when you're the worst one by a factor of 2, the problem is probably YOU.
Powell isn't helping, but this isn't really about Powell. Clippers have scored 11 points in the 2nd. If you had another guard in there instead of Powell it wouldn't have made any significant difference to Kyrie being hot, Westbrook forcing plays and taking bad shots with the bench unit, the bench units bad defense, and then the units with the starting players coming back in not playing well. Powell is one piece in the puzzle, but a team doesn't go -30 in 8 minutes just because of one player lol
A few points either way in one game is statistical noise but when you're TWICE as bad in a game as everyone else and the worst game after game, it's probably YOU.
Here's the thing--Powell has been leaking points since last year's All-Star break. I've been calling him out since then.
Clipper Nation has had its scapegoats but Powell has slid under the radar. He is owed $50+ million over the next 3 years and is easily the worst Clipper under contract. Nobody wants him and he's LITERALLY unplayable, especially with 5 guards [PG/KL, Russ/Harden/Mann/Bones] ahead of him.
Code: Select all
11 minutes 0 points 0 rebounds 0 assists 0-1 shooting 0 blks 0 steals 2 TOsThis is called a "gazillion." This is one of the worst possible performances in NBA history. Dude is a basket case. And we have too many other basket cases to prioritize him.
I thought I'd get in on all the fun. I can't believe there are still trolls here blaming THE COACH??
Powell is what we call a neutral player. Overall on the average night he won't sink you and he won't be likely to carry you, his impact is generally directly correlated to the strength of the units he plays with and his fit within those units.
If Powell is that bad and there are 5 guards on the team better than him and the coach is still playing him, then you are actually also blaming the coach, just doing it indirectly.
