GAME #61: LAC (32-28) @ SUNS (28-33) — TUES 3/4 7 PM TNT

Leonard with the attack dunk over a body is a welcomed sight. Haven’t seen that since he’s returned.

Hope he can keep pumping his trade value up so we can find a sucker team to take him this offseason.

This is why it's hard to come in and post here. This team has taken the fun out of Clippers basketball.

Last 13 games: 4-9

Ortg: 114.3
Drtg: 117.6

The teams calling card this season has been defense: 110.4 Drtg

They have been 7 pts WORSE per 100 possessions on defense over this span while being barely better on offense, 114.3 (which would rank 14th) vs 112.4 for the season which ranks 21st.

Obviously there's injury factor and missed games also in play here, but it's not been fun at all.

At the beginning of the season I thought this franchise had FINALLY turned the corner and embraced the idea of having some young and athletic players on the team who were in the rotation.

But no, the Clippers STILL found a way to turn back into an old, slow, and injury prone team.

The 213 era is like some nightmare that never ends.

Not a chance of that happening as long as Lawrence Frank is still in the office.

I remember at the beginning of the season there were these memes about how good the defense was, JVG having teams in jail, Dunngeon, etc... damn wth happened...

Also, Harden does a lot of good stuff, but he really needs to dial back on the 3pt attempts. Almost 9 a game (2 more than last year and at a worse percentage).

We could've used this last night, but nope we got Ben Simmons instead! YES!!

Yah, the lack of leadership was painful and obvious and the numbers bear it out. No leadership on D either--Suns won it with a 44-23 4th.

There's nothing to blow up. We have nothing anyone wants.

Agreed. Lue likes old players that
arent athletic enough to handle todays NBA. He got lucky with Zu in that Harden unlocked his offensive game and Zu kept working on that push shot.

Zu is the only bright spot right now. Powells resurgence is Powells doing. But he is still a vet. Lue cant handle the mistakes young players make.

Harden will keep shooting till this team falls off a cliff. Boogi and Hardens shooting percentages are atrocious

11th seed here we come. Regardless what happens Lawrence Frank and Ty Belichick's jobs are safe as Fort Knox.

If this team stays in the top 10 seed it's becuase Mavs shutdown their team rather than us achieving anything. I expect Sacto-Warriors and Minny stay ahead of us for the rest of the season and we will battle with Suns for 9th best record.

That's true. It looks like AD will probably be shut down for the season. We could very well play Phx in the 1st play-in game as 9/10th seed.

Beard 23 points in the 1st. If only he had to do that once every 2 or 3 games...
