No one but kawhi showed up tonight and even he had defensive miscues. Just wrap it up and go home. Wolves were riding high off energy and playing well in this game.

I’m a little bit excited to see all the young guys play

See you guys tomorrow. GG wolves. I really felt the bench lost us the game tonight.

Doc should have played some of these guys way earlier in the game, honestly. At least they want to play tonight, unlike the rest of the team.

Let's just switch to Nuggets Suns game and hope Suns beat them

either the west is super competitive or everyone is up and down this year.

Just when I thought the team was going to hit a stride, we hit another snag.

It seems like that's how it is for the whole entire Western conference including the lakers right now.

Jazz win like 14 out of 15 and then go on to lose five straight games.

Denver has the same issue as the clippers losing to sub 500 teams.

What's happening

This game in particular is just the a team playing pick up ball without practice and 9 new players. Other games, if you're a contending team, it's hard to get up for 15 win tips teams. They know they don't have to worry about them when the real season starts. Veteran teams can get bored

Nick Nurse's Raptors have 14th straight win right now. How I wish he was the head coach of this team

Nice toughness run not enough time

Another game, another franchise record set against our defense:

We need to reward some of these younger players with real minutes tomorrow. What do we have to lose? It's not like we have some stellar record on back-to-backs.

Hope Motley finds a team at some point even if it’s not us. For his size and mobility he should be at least end of the bench

Coaches getting in on that 'load-management' themselves too, huh...

It's exactly that. Games like this are their playoffs, max effort. Meanwhile playoff teams are looking at May and June and are throttling. And tonight you had a bunch of guys who just got off the NBA's Death Row, wanting to make a good impression on their new town and their new coach.

I'm just glad Doc threw in the towel with 10 minutes left. Sometimes he leaves them out there to punish them. :wink:

We're supposed to be "Clamp City," though. Very difficult to see this defense winning a championship or even making the conference finals.

If Nuggets lose tonight I'll be happy and forget about this loss

On to the next have to keep a eye on Love

Ridiculous statement. Yes, the clippers have more work to do, but so does literally every team in the west, including the lakers. If you want the nba to hand the championship to the bucks, go ahead. They are the only ones playing excellent basketball.

We've only lost one back to back set

we're like 10-1(or something crazy like that) on SEGABAB. The only time clippers have lost 2 in a row was Nov 13.14. https://www.espn.com/nba/team/schedule/_/name/lac

But again, do go on with your overreactions.

Why are you even here? Doc's the coach, which means we're going to eliminated in the first rounds(your words), We gave up 140 points tonight, so we might as well forfeit and not even try. Give it to the bucks and let them plan the parade.
