• Beverley and Bradley continue to misfire: Avery Bradley and Pat Beverley have been disappointing this season. Their oft-hyped defense, while solid, hasn’t lived up to the “Clamp City” expectations, often failing against quicker or larger players. And both have been positively miserable on the offensive end, with many a clanked shot between them. Last night was no different: the two shot 5-15 from the field and 0-6 from three, though they did provide some redemption by each making a pair of free throws down the stretch. The Clippers have done well to start the season, but in order to keep their offense in gear, Bradley and Beverley need to start hitting their outside shots.

• Play Shai: After playing just 19 minutes against the Heat (partially due to foul trouble, and partially questionable rotations), Shai looked like he was on his way to another quiet night when he played just 11 minutes in the first half against the Suns. However, Lou Williams’ hamstring injury opened the door for Shai to get big minutes, and he responded in typical fashion, scoring 10 points in the 4th quarter and overtime on a series of tough midrange jumpers and layups. He ran the offense calmly, played solid, smart perimeter defense, and just generally helped keep the Clippers afloat. He’s probably the best guard on the team, at least with Lou slumping, and he needs to get minutes commensurate with his talents. Play the man.

If it's not valuing draft picks or roster depth, which lo and behold are priorities for successful organizations, it's continuing to play inefficient players even after the front office got rid of the likes of Crawford and his son, Austin. It's like he goes out of his way to find such players on the roster to make things harder for the team. Of course, his noted reluctance to give rookies their due continues on with Shai.

His apologists' preaching of patience with him comes at the expense of the organization when it came to Doc "figuring out" the GM game and continues to cost us games this season and developmental time in building for the future. Hell, we're still paying for his mismanagement of assets with his exploits as PoBO. If it weren't for the Logo and the newly recruited front office, we'd challenge the Wizards or Suns for the distinction of most dysfunctional team. The continued lack of accountability for Doc bugs me to no end.

In his haste to do yet another driveby on Doc, Ramna once again misses the target--it's not getting an extra 5 mpg for Shai, it's Harrell that's killing us.
