Trezz was last on the team two seasons ago, I don't even think about him

Man, this is going to be a tough season. Hopefully the play in game is in play.

Unless MMSr comes back and put up # like he did in NY, there's no way this is a .500 ball club.

Our goal is the 9/10th seed. Maybe Kawhi will make it back end of the season to help us get there.

Sample size is still small and there are some favorable things. If they can continue to defend, that bodes well for them.

Currently the team is shooting 30.7% 3PT, it's very unlikely that this remains. Reggie Jackson is at 32/30, that's simply not going to stay like that unless it will be one of the worst shooting seasons in NBA history. Bledsoe is at 41/15, again, it's simply very unlikely to remain that way. Batum 41/27, Mann 42/33. With so many players shooting poorly, and with the Clippers generating enough quality shots for them to be shooting better, of course I can't say they won't be in the play-in, but they certainly will be better than this after more games get in the books.

Good close-out for the half at least, 8 points is manageable if you can start to hit more shots

That was quite a nice pass by the Blazers though

PG throwing too many bad passes

Clippers start 6-6 from three
3-18 since including a 1-16 run
and only 1-3 FTs

this is no way to run an airline

PG with 22 pts, the rest with 15
Mann and Kennard are 0-7 for a team-worst minus-16

oh wait, Kennard just hit a 3--1-8, minus-13

Reggie and Bledsoe are "staying within themselves" [3-12] and the starters are about even in +/-

What concerns me is not the shots missed, but how lethargic and checked out they looked coming out of the half.

well, OG---if you read the board more often [ahem! ] you'd know that I also recently referenced our OTHER 6MOYs Jamal and Lou

those who trashed them should start to see why they were so respected by their NBA peers

and what we AIN'T GOT in this year's edition

That was a time specific post, PG had 2 of his three turnovers within 3 possessions and almost turned it over in the other possession, but Batum I think it was recovered it. He had a little stretch where it got sloppy for him turnover wise.

Luke manning up bigtime--and by that I mean the ONLY Clipper in double figures besides PG

Zu is getting crushed. We need to trade for a big if we want to make a playoff run this year.

Jackson should be embarrassed by his play. He needs to be the second leading scorer.

Lue should be embarrassed for sticking with Coffey.

I understand, you were in the passion of the moment

but only 3TOs--just one quarter's work for Westbrook
