Reggie is still terrible. Just consistently horrific shot selection.

Is Lue actually going to coach or just watch the game?

The bench reverted back to bad habits. Turnovers and holding on to the ball.

Lue needs to straighten them out again.

Says the troll who's rooting for the team to fail and Kawhi to leave.

Well, it's pretty obvious and as a mod you should tell as well.

This looks exactly like a Doc-"coached" game. Big early lead, the worst player on the team checks in to ruin momentum, the offense gets jump shot heavy and stops scoring, and it all spirals downhill from there. No system on offense, just chucking threes and hoping Kawhi or PG or Lou bails us out.

As I said all offseason, promoting one of Doc's assistants was a terrible idea. The true culture change we needed would have only come from outside the organization. So far, I haven't seen anything to make me change that opinion.

The ball movement and defensive hustle in the first quarter was a thing of beauty.

They went away from that for the most part in the second and this is what we have.

Reggie Jackson should not see the floor.

Read on Twitter

They need to stop double teaming too. So many were unnecessary.

We’ll see how they respond to this loss of double digit lead this season.

We saw the ball movement and motion offense in the first quarter but Kawhi always deviates from it to do his iso play

Maybe you should stop ruining every game thread if you don't want the threads to be ruined. Everyone else is talking about the game right now, meanwhile you're sniping at other posters like always while contributing nothing at all to the discussion.

yes interesting angle

in both SA and TOR, Kawhi was the x-factor added to an already well-functioning team that put them over the top

it's where and who he wants to be--which is why his name is missing when the Clippers leaders are listed

This officiating is such a predictable farce, but at the end of the day, it's the team's fault for letting the game even get close to begin with.

Can't expect the team to break all the bad habits they picked up last year. The first quarter was encouraging, the team just has to get used to this new system
