Lakers are down by 23 at halftime in their game today. This is a great opportunity for the Clippers to create some legitimate separation from them in the standings with a win today.

Kemba is gonna get his
he went through each Clipper in turn

past Shai to the hoop
4 pt play vs Tobias
3 pter over Beverly
fouled by Avery


but the Gortat is death, minus-15 in 11 minutes, which represents most of

Shai minus-18
Tobias minus-18
Bradley minus-17
Beverley minus-14


game after game, Gortat's in the middle of the stank

the only starter on the floor, Bradley went from minus-17 to minus-1 playing with the scrubs and pulling us back to within 4 with 9 minutes left

did the same thing in the Pistons game

already played 30 minutes so now it's Lou time again?

Bradley is just out there to be out there at this point. He was the last starter to leave the floor and first to come back. Doc has him out there just to be out there

Idk how Gortat can be blamed for the backcourt getting burned on the perimeter. SGA and Bradley don’t work together and something needs to happen.

The one time they don’t trap a Kemba 3 right in Bradley’s face

the numbers against Gortat are undebatable
when he goes out, we get better
our bottom 4 combinations have Gortat in them
I've shown you the stats


as for SGA, team-worst minus-18, 2-8 FG
meanwhile, Bradley goes from minus-17 to minus-1 without him


hard to scapegoat Bradley

make that plus+3
TIE GAME

Bradley dies on a Zeller screen and Mike Scott looks at him like wtf. Leads to the drive kickout and 3. Yeah I’m not buying the plus or minus.

Bradley has one job and that’s trap Kemba

Anyone watching the game can see Bradley’s standing away from the ball in the corner on offense. On defense they are trapping Kemba as soon as he touches the ball and every time they didn’t trap Kemba made or created a bucket. Context is everything

Lou and a resurgent Tobias scored the points
Bradley helped lead the comeback with defense
plus+5 in a heroic 40 minutes

as did Sindarius with 14 very quiet minutes but a plus+13 [which is why he was out there at the end]
Scott a quiet plus+17, like in the Pistons game
the guys who played the minutes earned the minutes

we were down 88-68 with 3 min left in the 3rd
went 49-27 the rest of the way, of which Avery played every minute
when a guy goes from minus-17 to plus+5, he's doing something right


we won the game, bruh
hope you enjoyed it
hope somebody enjoyed it

this is supposed to be fun
:-D

the 10-0 run in the 4th brought us back to life.

Man, why can't Tobias at least close to this every night? Some days he looks like a mentally check-out scrub on his way out of the leage, other nights he looks like an all-star.
Also, Shai has been pretty bad tonight. I think he is young and when he is not focused and confident, he just steps back lets Lou or Beverly run things.

Big time win more games like this Tobias minus the turnovers. Lou is a all star and more
