Clippers @ Sixers

[GuyverX]

Could it have been any worse? Elton Brand with the game winning shot. Losing an 8 point lead in the 4th? This is the most disappointing season ever.

[JJ LoDuca]

I get that you're not supposed to win on the road with as many turnovers as we had....but I do not get how you control the entire second half and lose in the final minute. How do you let that happen? Dammmmmmnnnnnnnit.

JJ I have tomorrow's game, but I think we'd all be honored if you took it

[JJ LoDuca]

^ I'll do it! This game convinced me.

[TheNewEra]

This team migh trade our bigs not because MD is an idiot. If you don't think we would have won this game with Cat's defense you are **** insane. Gordon sit him and trade Ricky.

It's for the best!

brand is still a mid range jumpshooter with little low post game.

sour grapes.

sour grapes.

He's also a cripple with no elevation, a mama's boy, he makes terrible movies, and his baby has a dumb name. Sour grapes...what's wrong with 'em?

It's for the best!

What can I say, they need me! If I ever get traded, there better be a JJ appreciation thread!

Reality.

Way too predictable at the finish. Maybe Zach Randolph can help give the Clippers another option at the end of a game. Baron looks like Maggette did last year, trying to make a one on one play against 2 or 3 opponents.

have you read the sixers game thread? do they have sour grapes too?

[TheNewEra]

Baron should of took over erlier in the game. WE needed this win so **** bad.

So people what are our chances of still making the playoffs?

We're like.. 4 games behind the 8th seed. It's really too early to call it off. We just made a BIG change with Z-Bo. Let's see how that turns out first before calling it quits. We have no where to go but up really. It doesn't get any worse than 2-10.. Well.. We could be the Oklahoma City Thunder.. but you know what I mean!

Considering we are currently 2-10 and almost a handful games out of the 8th seed already, and we have to introduce two brand new players to Dunleavy's system, which will take another 5-10 games to adjust, slimmer then before.

You guys deserved to win this one.

We used to debate who will be better- Thad or Al. Guess what- they both are going to be studs. You might complain about your coach- but at least he recognizes Al deserves touches in the offense. Thad Young is our most gifted (and leading) scorer and yet our coach wants him to stand in the corner and hardly ever calls his number. Your coach is better than Mo- but our GM is probably better.

I'm not quite sure what your coach/GM is thinking with his recent moves, but you hae some good young talent, hope they turn it around.

I wasn't able to watch the game and I see that we lost by 1, that sucks

[jflipclip]

Can't believe we lost. I watched the first half and the last 5 minutes of the 4th. Clippers were losing it early, similar to the OKC game, but somehow they pulled it through in the 2nd with Kaman, Camby, and Thornton. I think they were leading up by 3 at half. So, I didn't watch the 3rd but I got to see the 4th. Surprisingly, EG was still in, which was kinda cool to see.. for now. Clippers keep fouling and can't find a good shot. Thornton is really developing into a one-on-one type of player, but what I hate about it is that he doesn't take advantage of some of the double teams or almost-double teams. He's still in his second year, but he should be able to see that and pass out of it rather than taking the tough shot.

Anyways, the ending was awful to watch. Brand hits the shot the puts the Sixers in the lead (ugh), and the Clippers get THREE chances. The first chance, then send Baron into the post. It worked the first time, so why not a second? Off the rim. Second chance, Camby sets a pick for Baron, Baron is doubled, almost turns it over but somehow gets it to EG. EG is open for the 3, passes that option down and tries to go for a layup when he is completely denied by AI2. Thornton was wide open, EG was wide open... why not take a much more favorable shot?-- rookie mistake. Third and final chance, Baron wants to takeover and basically just throws it up there even being doubled. No one looked for the ball when Baron was doubled, except maybe Thornton. I'm sure Dunleavy just told Baron to do what he has to do instead of drawing a set play that they practice, that is sure to be a good open look (Kaman and Camby had gotten really good looks at the basket in the 2nd quarter). OK, we got Baron to handle these situations, but still, I would've drawn it differently.
