Clippers seems a step too slow on defense vs Warriors.

I wonder if the team as a whole is feeling some type of way with PG and KL being out. ?

Up until Weds vs Warriors , I was not questioning KL being out but now I’m like WTF going on.

Anyhow , Clips get the win tonight. Everyone brings their best effort and Ty Lue will make sure to get them prepared to defend home court.

Play Boston, Moussa, and Preston tonight. Not even enthused to watch "older vet role player Clipper Basketball" tonight for the millionth time. Its like a tv show that has gone on for way too many seasons

Unfortunately Boston is injured. Hasn’t played in 2-3 weeks I think.

It’s criminal that Diabate cannot see some minutes though. Especially with the injuries, RoCo out of the rotation.

Lue seems intent on riding our vets into the ground instead of injecting some youth/athleticism.

Frankly 2 of our starters tonight are marginal rotation guys. It's hard enough to put out an NBA-level team at the moment without trying to mix in unfamiliar G-Leaguers.

I do hope to see RoCo.

9 guys [incl RoCo] getting more or less equal minutes

still a pickup team--TOs, missed rotations

48-42
just stay within 10 until something gels

Clippers getting shredded . The defense seems lost or something .

Down 12 at halftime.

Why so many turnovers ? Why not insert Moses Brown for rim protection.

Tired of getting taken advantage of for not having our two stars. Where the hell did they get their injuries from anyway? I don’t believe either got injured during a game or even a practice.

Getting myself ready for yet another “PG and Kawhi not available next game” headline.

As usual we are getting lit up by some scrub who averages 4pt a game.

i think that's gonna do it

Akklaim1 · Post #17 » by **Akklaim1** » Sat Nov 26, 2022 5:45 am

I can’t catch every game anymore like I used to during the Lob City era because of work schedule. This team is deep role player wise. But without those two, this is a Wemby-bound team.

So yeah, Kawhi and PG out for Sunday confirmed.

I'm going to have to take a break from this team for a while. This is unwatchable, you just know Kawhi/PG will be out for a while (what else is new), and Lue will continue to stubbornly lose with his favorite washed veterans than actually give us a reason to watch these games by playing the young guys. :noway:

LamarWho · Post #19 » by **LamarWho** » Sat Nov 26, 2022 5:54 am

Brian Sieman kept talking about we gotta take advantage of those "no-Jokic" minutes. Well no Jokic no problem when you got a 4 PPG player name Vlako Cancer Cancar, who single handedly neutralized our "comeback" in the 4th. The "depth" of this team is about as overrated as Doc as a coach.
