Clippers are the only team in the NBA who haven't lost 2 in a row
Finishing up the brutal annual "Grammy" road trip
6 games in 10 days

4-2 MUCH better than 3-3

Hope Kawhi plays tonight. The Cavs are a competent team this year so we can't rest him thinking its still an easy win.

After shaking Kennard's tree bigtime vs the Nets, look for Ty to give him burn tonight if he responds.

Grow a pair, Luke. ;-) With Kawhi going 39 and Batum 38 last night, we need the minutes.

Genuinely don't understand why Zu has regressed so badly.

Kennard being more aggressive.

Zu getting stripped down low in embarrassing fashion.

Lou ... well, I’ve stopped expecting him to do anything positive.

George started hot but has missed some easy ones.

Cavs cut it to 4.

Need Leonard out there but Lue is probably wanting to watch his minutes tonight.

At this point, Oturu should take Zu's spot in the rotation until Zu pulls his head out of his ass.

Gotta put Patterson, Oturu, or Kabengele ahead of Zu at this point. Absolutely pathetic

Tired of the bench losing leads.

Good luck to the FO to get that fixed.

With how trash the bench has been I have been all for giving the younger guys more time. Can't do much worse than how some of the current bench is doing.

It's infuriating, but Lue and Frank are clearly cool with blowing leads every game. Otherwise Lue would have made substantive changes to the rotation by now and Frank wouldn't have gone into the season with Lou, Luke and Reggie all on the same team.

You'd think everyone in this organization would be extra motivated to make sure that what happened in the playoffs last season can't happen again, but I guess not. :noway:

Lou is slumping but I'm not going to dog him as long as he has to play most of his minutes with stiffs. He was only minus-1 when Zu and Kennard entered the game, and Senior is now minus-14 in only 13 minutes despite some of those minutes being in with the starters.

Frankly I don't know who's to blame. All we know is that it's not working. Putting either Kawhi or PG out there as the 5th man is slowing the bleeding, but it still leaks. At the moment you wait for Pat Bev to get back and see where he fits with the New Reggie. :)
