Sindarius making threes now. Not good for a certain poster's agenda, but great for the Clippers.

I think one of the biggest questions coming into next season is can Tobias step up his game and become a 20+ PPG player? Right now he's just 18 PPG second option being asked to be thebfirst option.

This broadcast is nauseating. Basically one big long infomercial trying to sell the fans on Doc coming back for at least one more season, which is 100% going to happen at this point. Another season wasted before it's even started. :noway:

Yes he can, but the difference between an 18 PPG player and a 22 PPG player is really big. Tobias needs to be the latter.

he can easily up his scores to 22 if u give him more shots

Trivia question:

This player is shooting 0-7, is -7, and has still played 14 minutes. Who is he?

He needs to prove it next year. What's his average as a Clipper?

Austin's final stat line: 0-9, 1 point, -8.

I was hoping that we could win one more game to finish out the season. I know it doesn't really matter but I would have liked 43 wins since we're missing out on he playoffs. I also tried to stay awake so I could follow this game. Guess my body had other plans. We can now get ready for what will most likely be picks # 13 and 12 in the nba draft. Seems like Doc and DJ are probably not coming back for next season. This group had a decent run this season, too bad it didn't result in us going to the playoffs.

ah some people were watching the game without actually seeing it again
and cheering against their own players

Austin has been playing despite a strained right elbow and was pushed from behind in the 1stQ by a Laker
falling right on the elbow
still tried to play but had to leave after 20 minutes
although not able to shoot [0-9] still managed 6 assists and 0 turnovers

meanwhile Sindarius hit 3 wide-open three-balls
but unfortunately missed his other 6 shots
finishing 3-9 in 35 minutes with 2 assists and 4 turnovers

Ty fared a bit better, 2-6 with 4 assists but unfortunately 4 turnovers
actually CJ had the best numbers at 4-10, 4 assists and 0 turnovers
said recently he wants to work on his ballhandling in the offseason and that's a very good idea
unlike the other two, he's already got a good record on the 3-ball [40% lifetime in G-League]

Watch on YouTube

in the end the Lakers' G-Leaguers were better than our G-Leaguers
Payton, Caruso, Ingraham
Thomas Bryant, whoever he is

not that any of all this means a lot--the whole game was garbage time
and hardly the night to be yelling and yanking people for playing scatterass
and sending everyone off on a bad vibe

you just take your winning season [against huge odds] and send everybody off with a pat on the back
