God right now I'm hating PG. This move has stopped Mann dead in his tracks and forget about Bones now.
I'm willing to bet that the team will be on a Westbrook high, maybe win this game or two but in the playoffs, Morris and Westbrook will kill us. If that's the case I want PG gone along with his buddy Westbrook.
I'll willingly eat crow but 5 teams before us cannot be wrong.

Wish they would sit Morris and start Mann.

Exactly bro. That's what we were hoping but this is plain BS.

I'll wait until a decent amount of the game has played but I'm nervous! This can go really awesome or blow up like a nuke in our face.

Any reason why PG has a minutes restriction after almost a week off? I don't think the All star game was that intense. Unless he tweaked in practice?

didn't realize how hard it was to be PG-GM-13 all at the same time

T Mann had a great game vs Suns ..

I am holding judgement until 5 games into this Westbrook chapter for the Clippers.

I just bought a Bones Hyland rookie card.

oh boy

watching the clippers pre-game broadcast crew saying whatever it takes to sell us on the westbrook move is absolutely making me feel great about this whole thing

guys

i'm ready to win tonight

i'm ready to lose tonight

i'm ready to win 95% of the rest of our games because he really is the missing piece

i'm also ready to see the team go 0-21 because lue plays westbrook 39 MPG trying to make it work, get fired, then go on to say "well i coach off a card and it said because he's a former MVP i needed to play him a lot"

go, clippers!

So far so good.

Decent distributing so far

wb clearly with a directive to pressure the rim and initiate off of the ensuing reactions. a few nice passes so far, one resulting in a really nice score with mp

First turnover by Russ, but was a miscommunication one with a new teammate. I'll excuse it.

nickhx2 · Post #34 » by **nickhx2** » Sat Feb 25, 2023 3:51 am

ok i figured it out

if you have westbrook do some benny hill stuff, at the same time paul george does some benny hill stuff

it CANCELS EACH OTHER OUT

net gain the first time it happened? paul george 3

omg robert covington stepped onto the court for a second during the timeout and i was afraid for his life

Westbrook clearly already knows the offense. Kawhi and PG already on cruise control, you can see it. It's not that Mann is bad or even that Reggie was good, but SOMEBODY has to take the drudgery of manning the point--initiating the offense and coming to the ball and relieving the pressure when it's trapped--off their hands.

After a slow start, Clips take the lead on a Westbrook assist.

Westbrook records his first Clipper turnover. :roll:

Clips fall behind then knot it up at 21 on a Westbrook fast break.

All is going according to plan. :lol:
