Him and Beverly have not shot the ball well at all this season. I think LAC should look to move one of them to one of the teams looking for a PG. If both these guys continue to struggle so badly then Clippers lose leverage imo in terms of what they can command and in Beverly's case, he's on an expiring deal too.

Yeah , it was horrible 3rd quarter which made Clippers look so helpless. But I must notice that refs changed criteria of making calls. From calling every contact in the first half to tolerating some serious physicality on Thunder side. This caught all clippers guards and coaching staff to out of guard.

I know people are upset about losing but sometimes it takes a bad loss to see what you are doing wrong. Losing to Westbrook and Paul George on the road is something that would have been expected before the season started. I feel like Gallo, Toby, Trezz, and Lou are coming consistently. Avery had been getting better. Probably need more from Gortat, Avery and Beverly.
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point. :D

The team. Everybody was in the minus defensively and we gave up 24 TOs. The Okies shot 51.1% and 52.9% from 3.

THIS!! They were letting the Thunder hold, hand check and body check the Clippers in the 3rd quarter and didn't call any calls on the Thunder during their run. It was crazy...

True but still not seeing Tobias, Lou, Gallo, etc.. at least attempt to step up to stop the bleeding/maybe draw some fouls and get to the line especially Tobias if he's claiming to be a max player/turning down $20 million per and all. All the leaders disappeared during that run. And I'm still frustrated at the Pat Bev/ Avery backcourt as well. Avery had a nice first quarter but that was it pretty much from the entire guard posse the entire night. Milos included

How were they gonna get to the line if the refs swallowed their whistles when the Clippers did go to the paint though?? Bottom line is the refs played a big part in that 3rd quarter. The Thunder aren't even a good defensive team so it wasn't their defense, it was them being able to basically foul without getting called for it during their "run"

I hear you clearly but it was more than just the refs bro. We actually got a lot of whistles in the first half that helped with our 11 point lead at the half. Yes the refs assisted in the 2nd half but still with only 10 points scored and 40 given up in the 3rd is still unacceptable refs or no refs. To say we were completely free of blame in the 3rd ridiculous even with the most homer rose colored glasses out there.
