Avoid The Three-Game Losing Streak 

Post#4 » by Wammy Giveaway » Sat Dec 15, 2018 11:23 pm

Teams with at least one three-game losing streak in the regular season are destined to lose in the playoffs. Clippers have staved off losing streaks so far; in fact, their chances at a playoff appearance hinges on this. We don't care how the Clippers win, just avoid losing three in a row.

No team in NBA history has ever recovered from a 3-0 playoff series deficit. That is the mindset of Doc Rivers.

Here's a bold change I'd like to see. Start Teodosic instead of Bradley. Get someone out there who can actually shoot from distance and can make a play when given the ball. To hell with his defensive flaws. At least he can make up for it on the offensive end.

You know your team is prone for turnovers yet you continue to make bull adjustments with having no playmaker on the floor.
Every time this guy is shown what his ridiculous coaching and rotations make happen. Bad and consistently bad TURNOVERS. You piece of trash stop relying on Bradley and Beverly even more so when no one else on the court can run any plays. I am so sick of this man and the repetitive crapping of the bed because he won’t adapt!

Turnover Machines

Bradley and Gallo both lead the Clips with 5 turnovers apiece.

It's because we have the worst coaching staff in the league. Doc is the reason we're going to be a lottery team after all when we should be a solid playoff team.

First 3-game losing streak of the season.

One takeaway: in the final play, one of the Thunder play-by-play callers was perplexed at the Clipper players not fouling when Doc Rivers clearly wanted a foul. Have they tuned him out?
