Game 5: Los Angeles Clippers (3-1) @ Utah Jazz (3-1) - 10:00 PM ET

As mentioned this was a suspected L but just long term things that need to be fixed

Haven’t heard Kawhi or PG looking to play PF I believe Shamet is out once PG is back. So the team still has to do something about Patterson and Green is the better fit. We need more size next to Harrell anyway because our second unit rim protection is crap

PF doesn't exist anymore though, it's just bigger wings or smaller wings. I get they might be pissy about it, but like Davis is doing on the Lakers when playing C, they should be buying into what's best for the team not what's more comfortable for them. That's if you wanna win a championship.

You're probably right though, that's what may end up happening, but that would be a pretty bad sign.

If Conley played against the clippers every game he’d be a first ballot hall of famer. Seems like he’s never had a bad game against them for some reason. Kinda of worries me if clippers play the jazz in the playoffs

Death, taxes, and Mike Conley destroying the Clippers. Rinse and repeat lol

I'm calling it out...
Landry Shamet is out there trying to hide in the crowd. It looked like he was avoiding getting the ball. He's slow in reacting/situational awareness. I watched him all game. This was his opportunity to take on a more prominent role in a game, but he just blended into the crowd.

There's something wrong... I still hold out hope that he steps up, as the season goes on, but something's off.

Even with PG out, PatPat is entering that Wesley Johnson/Avery Bradley "you are getting at least 10 more minutes than you should" territory.

You can add Ryan Gomes to that list as well, guy played like 30 minutes a game and was single digits in every stat almost.

will anyone ever forget the ryan gomes inbound pass

PatPat was +5 in 29 minutes
Green still got 27 minutes with 23 points although a minus-12

Harkless minus-12 in 17 crapalicious minutes
McGruder minus-19 in 18 minutes

TMann a nice plus+9 with 5 assists in garbaggio tempo
Robinson only minus-2 in 19 minutes but with 5 TOs

Shamet 1-7, 1 reb, 2 assts, 3 TOs

Jerome Robinson...

I generally don't like talking crap about a player, so I'll bury it here:

Spoiler:

It should be clear by now, Jerome is not an NBA-caliber player, not a guy we should want to keep around (unless he's some outstanding motivator in the locker room, or something crazy, that I don't know about).

SGA was light-years ahead of Jerome... and currently, Terance Mann is already passed him.

I don't know why I hear so much about Jerome among Clipper Nation. For those who listen to the "Locked On Clippers" podcast, you probably have a better idea about what I'm talking about.

Not a joyful thing to say, but it's time to turn the page on Jerome Robinson.
