same old story going back to the CP era is that the bench pisses away the lead

it's just a question of when Doc pulls the trigger to put the starters back in
tonight, they start filtering in at the 7 minute mark

you'd have preferred to wait another minute or two

Lou-Trezz-Gallo-Bev play the rest of the way
our closers

who the 5th closer is--all depends


up by 9 with 4:10 left


Trez shouldn’t be playing all these minutes consistently. He will as he always does get tired by midway of the 4th and sacrifice his defensive effort to conserve energy to score.

I’ll will forever argue guys like MJ and Lebron didn’t do things that are asked of Harrell. Prime Shaq didn’t play a quarter and a half with no sit down time at all. Docs rotations are so bad and it’s worse when Harrell is a energy big man.


Doc's rotations are logical. Zubac is not who you turn the game over to.

Zubac is a part of our best defensive units. When you have a big lead and you need defense it makes it much easier. Lmao with the Late ADD after all those damn layups and Sabonis getting everything at the rim

I know his stats look good but watching Sabonis play, he didn't look that impressive to me. I've been seeing people rave about him on the general board and saying he should win 6th man of the year

Trezz only played 29 minutes. Doc stacked it up perfectly. Zubac still got 19 minutes.

You want to trust Zu in the 4thQ, I don't.

Watch the replay and spare me the LOL, OK, bro? Even the Doc haters don't have the brass to suggest Zu should be in for Harrell when it counts.

6 minutes to many tonight and it showed. Doc has struggled with rotations so it’s not even a argument why he can’t get it right. Rest of the coaching staff even know to play Zu because he was in when Doc got ejected against the Bulls.

He’s our best defensive big man what do you even mean by “brass”. Seen plenty of times people calling for Zu when we can’t rim protect or get rebounds just because you apologize for what Doc thinks is right should mean people should ignore the right thing. We can get away with this now I just don’t trust the gamble against better teams.

You want to trust Zu in the 4thQ, I don't. This is the backup quarterback question again. As long as he doesn't play, nobody can prove you're wrong.

Trezz only played 29 minutes tonight. If he had played 35 or 38, I'd be all over to your criticism.

We won again. The rotation is working.

Clips have won 8 out of the last 9.

Only loss was to Portland and we knew they might drop that game because Doc sat Luc :)
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
