I could not watch after the 3rd. with cp3 and blake out other teams are going to stop jj and the rest can not pass anyway. this team looks lost with no direction. with jj out you guys will get to see your new sg in action. did anyone see any refs last night. I thought they were required for an nba game. just asking. going to be a rough few weeks. it will be interesting how docs gets along.

This team doesn't need a rebuild. They just need to hang on for their stars to get healthy. This is as close to a team that can make it to the WCF we're ever going to have in the near foreseeable future. That's the reality of it. CP3 has been out 2 games. It's not like he tore his achilles. We could use a new coach and GM though. One that won't keep signing Jamal Crawford and keep playing his own son at SF/PF. One that can call plays other than Crawford one on one every trip down.

The offseason will dictate where this team is headed because Griffin could just bail regardless. For now, it's hang on for dear life until the starters are back.


Hold on to stars and get healthy is not going to happen because the stars are injury prone. We have been doing this for 5+years already

Not to mention, the coaching sucks and the rest of the roster sucks. That is abundantly clear from the past two games. You need more than just two players to go far in the West.

Adding on to our woes is the damage that Doc has done to our franchise as GM. We're basically locked into this roster (with minor peripheral tweaks every year that will never move the needle) until we either blow it up or it falls apart on its own. I just don't see a point in striving for second-round exits. If we're not going to win a ring either way, I would much rather have hope for the future and young talent to get excited about than the status quo. This team has grown stale and boring anyway.

Well, then you can wait another 4 months because if it happens again, this it. That rebuild you want will happen anyway, naturally. Griffin and Paul probably aren't going to stick around if they know this is a losing team even if they get the money they want.
