was somebody saying how all they wanted was to see our young guys play?
did you sit through the 4thQ?
all you can eat
LOL

but seriously, not only the talent gap but these guys are still strangers to each other
a pick-up squad

The NBA is a tough town
and FTR, the Warriors' bench was mostly in the minus
it was all garbage time but it's easy for our scrubs lay down when they're down by 30
newcomer Ty Wallace miraculously only minus-4 in 31 minutes


STATALICIOUS: Deandre Jordan is 21-24 [84%] on FTs in the last 5 games

Stephen Jackson: Ironman DeAndre's making it very hard on the Clips braintrust

Why tank?

Build everything around his oft-injured body.

Paul George and his frail body will bring us a ring next year for sure.

Pretty much what Stephen Jackson said in the above-linked video. Not a Blake believer, and he found it interesting there isn't any no-trade clause in that huge contract. If he's healthy around playoff time in the next few years, he could put somebody over the top, somebody with no long-term focus like we have to have. We might just want to start over--and Blake might, too.

And though it's tempting to dump DJ over his coming megabuck demand, the man shows up for work every day, lunchbucket in hand.

I don't care about the loss that much. What I do care about is how healthy our players are, especially Blake Griffin. I saw video of him getting elbowed to the face. At this point who knows if we'll be fully healthy this year (minus Patrick Beverley)
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!
