Good contest by Ibaka even though Kemba made that one.

11 points lead is solid, and nice to see Kennard being aggressive. Shooters gotta shoot. He needs that JJ Redick mentality.

Not the best end to the half but the team still looks good so far

Great rotations by Batum and final contest

I like that Kawhi is looking to get coast to coast against the Celtics defense

Besides Zu--who is 5 months younger [!]--T-Mann is the Clippers' only young player worth half a damn, and right now we need minutes from somewhere. He's getting minutes he's not exactly earning: His plus/minus is worst on the team. Right now we have an 11-point lead and he's still minus-1. :oops:

Clips did the same thing with Jerome last year--everyone forgets Robinson was getting 11 mpg before we gave up on him. I like T-Mann but he's already 24 and the Clips have given up making a PG out of him. The league is full of SGs who can't S.

Batum has been hitting the offensive glass this half

Jackson played well on the road trip but that man has been awful tonight.

In a little mini shooting slump since the Nets game but hopefully he can shake it off.

Just give all of Reggie's minutes to Mann. Reggie is becoming Lue's version of what Jamal, Pierce, Austin, Avery, and Trez were for Doc. I don't have much patience watching him after how he played in the playoffs last season.

Another blown lead. Nothing but isoball and Lue just watching the game like he's Doc. This team still isn't ready for primetime against actually good opponents.

Kawhi took too long to find Morris there, should have seen him earlier

Celtics have also gotten hot, got some open ones, especially in transition, but made some contested ones too. Clippers need to find something right now.

This looks like last year's team all over again now that we don't get to play lottery teams every night. Maybe promoting our POBO and head coach from within Doc's failed culture wasn't a very good idea.

Exactly. Scapegoating is so weak. Somebody has to step up. Kawhi can't do it all. Coach can't create something out of nothing either. Only God can do that. ;-)

Killing us with the 3 ball

Lou and Reggie have to go, plain and simple. They're going to ruin the season just like Doc and Trez did last year.

Why on Earth are we still running this awful drop coverage on defense when it's blatantly not working? Is Lue trying to lose the game?

TheNewEra · Post #36 » by **TheNewEra** » Sat Feb 6, 2021 5:04 am

We have to win these non Tatum minutes

ok Lou, become a grunt so we can work in Senior and Luke's long-term contracts so we can kick you to the curb next summer

Clips have closed it to 96-94
Lou and Zu are the only Clippers in the plus

Finally Lou does something positive!

Williams coming alive to help contain the Celtics lead

Sheesh, the worst bounces for those rebounds, Clippers got lucky there
