I'm honestly speechless at how much of a disaster this team is and how screwed this franchise is for a long time. The fact that the entire front office hasn't been fired yet says it all about how little the Clippers care about winning.

Leonard the only guy to show up.

George was bricking a house when he wasn’t turning it over.

Jackson hit those 3s in the 3rd but was trash otherwise.

Zu hampered by fouls. Ibaka hurt, and Patterson was forgettable.

Mann still showing promise/confidence. Kennard deserved more minutes.

Lou was hot bleep. What else is new?

Morris looked better on the bench.

Nice to see Oturu get some minutes at least.

As you can see even Oturu is not stopping these drives when they get in so easy

Fire the whole front office in the middle of the season and then what? :lol:

You think you can just replace a whole front-office mid-season and then have them all get up to speed? What’s the precedent you have for any team doing this? Come on, let’s at least say reasonable things here.

We basically need a Sam Hinkie type of GM who can seemingly generate assets from nothing so we can get our flexibility back. Not a mediocre coach pretending to be a GM, who saw a roster missing a legitimate point guard and quality defenders and still decided it would be a good idea to spend $64 million on Luke Kennard.

Hinkie generated assets from assets, but he was working with bottom of the league teams where there’s a TON more leeway in trading off players and shuffling around the roster. Championship teams don’t do what Hinkie was doing, and if Hinkie stayed while Philly started contending he wouldn’t have been doing the same thing.

Anyways, sure, the team needs more assets, but saying that the team doesn’t care about winning because they don’t fire their “entire” front office mid-season is obviously ridiculous, only a stupid team would do something like that.

Great. Now Mann is hurt.

Thank goodness he’s ok.

That was brutal but we can come right back and get the next one. Don’t think we will get home court in the second round this way

Second round? This team will be lucky to get past the first round.

Everybody says we need a pg but man give me a goon in the paint that can rebound. Even if his offense is subpar we need a dude that can have somebody think twice before coming into the paint. I don't believe I saw one contested shot in the paint tonight. It was a f*ckin' layup line

Jazz just got spanked by the Dubs, who we just destroyed. Stuff happens. The Pels shot 65% with 72 points in the paint. While everybody has been begging for a point guard I've been begging for some toughness in the paint. That's our Achilles heel and word is getting out. And we have a losing record without Beverley, whose pressure on the ball helps deny the paint.

Read on Twitter


[Mann did pretty well on the ball though, and was one of the few Clippers who finished in the plus.]

This team needs to play angry tomorrow vs the Mavs not only because we got smashed tonight but because the Mavs gave them that 50 point loss a few months back. With how we have been playing lately I'll be happy if we get a top 4 seed.

Philadelphia HATES Hinkie--3 solid years of misery, embarrassment and disgrace. Jim Buss's Lakers tried the same despicable thing and ended up only with the assets to get AD--which would mean nothing if King James hadn't decided to grace Jeanie and LA with his presence.

Yeah 'The Process' in Philly was trash to me simply because Hinke didn't really have an endgame. He would still be tanking til this very day if the league didn't step in and relieve him of his duties.
