So we just have to stick our heads in the sand and pretend we win easily win a championship?

Frankly this team isn't anywhere close to it. yes it was a good game, but still it was one game. Let's see how they play against the Mavericks with adjustments like a playoff series.

Anyone who has confidence in this team in the playoffs watching every game this season is fooling themselves. We have a. LOT of work to do and yet some people would rather attack members here who actually are analyzing and trying to contribute to meaningful discussion.

Relax and calm down. I was shocked you actually have something good to say. But we all know it was just one game. Alot more work to be done. Lets see what happens tomorrow

Well since I've gotten here the team has looked awful besides last game :lol:

As I said, a 10-15 point loss to the Mavs undoes all the good work from this game in a day. Another big game and another. MUST. WIN. GAME.

It's not as if there's a single person here who isn't painfully aware of all our flaws and shortcomings and the 1000 reasons why the Clippers can't win the championship. We don't need our noses rubbed in it, especially by what are supposed to be our FELLOW CLIPPER FANS.

If we want abuse and disrespect we can just go over to the Laker board. :lol: The trick is to analyze how we might pull this off anyway and enjoy the journey regardless. This is supposed to be fun.

LOL I'll enjoy the journey to the finals but otherwise else my standards are pretty high 8-)

I wouldn't call it "abuse" but critical analysis of this team is what I come here for. Look at the reddit board for the Clippers, bashing anyone who even says a mean word about PG, and being pissed off Luke Kennard is not getting more minutes. The BBIQ is just way more based in reality over here.

Lou Will had a fantastic game.

People need to stop making him the scapegoat. He's not getting traded for something of better value, end of story. At least he can get buckets and we don't win that game without his defensive stops. He's ironically been better at defense in limited minutes from my eye test.

I'm still hardcore but I had to bring it down a notch emotionally this season. The 3-1 choke to Houston years ago was devastating and the 3-1 bubble disaster ripped me to shreds -which I'm sure every Clipper fan felt the same way. Still serious and love the team, also miss going to the games as I hit about 5-8 games a year, but I try to not let the team's shortcomings and chokes rattle me anymore, at least to a certain extent that is. Got other sh*t to do in life as well. :nod:

Exactly. At 34 on an expiring contract, Lou should be a 15-20 mpg bonus. Instead he carried the team in February, playing 26 mpg and averaging 16/3/5 playing mostly out of position at the 1.

Fortunately, Ty's cut Lou's minutes over the last few games. He'd better if he wants anything left in those old legs come the playoffs. The key guy always was--and is--Marcus, and Ty's doing something about that too. In February, Marcus played 24 mpg and only put up 13/4/1.

Dude. :roll:

Morris doesn't get enough touches on the 2nd team. I'm vert happy with him on our first team.
