This west coast trip is off to a rough start. I don’t think we win 1 game with Jim out

We are obedient to LA. What would you have us do masters?

Robinson Nunn and dragic are liabilities in defense and they are all ending the game what you expect

If Butler is not with us on this west coast trip, we could very well drop every single game. This is going to get ugly unless Spo decides to stop being stubborn with this defense.

Does anyone think Igoudala and / or Galinari will really fix this team's flaws?

Chit.

As the OP you take full blame to whatever happens during this game thread.

I do.

Apologies gentlemen.

you did great OP. no shame in losing to healthy Clippers in LA while being shorthanded.

we need to work on defending 3s. scrub teams miss open shots. good teams will kill us playing like this more often than not.

Thinking maybe we should keep Crowder now

No. We need to fix our defense. too much zone it seems like rn

No but at least you got another reliable scoring option in Spicy Italian. But like I been saying, we need a WHALE not sardines

I wish Zo would come down from the stands and smack Spo in the face for this defense.

Looking forward to Galinari locking down our perimeter defense.

I don't get why Spo seems to think we NEED to play zone so much. Zone is great in stretches to surprise and disrupt an offense, but to stubbornly sit in zone all game long... any decent team will figure that chit out midgame and make adjustments

BaffLer · Post #457 » by **BaffLer** » Thu Feb 6, 2020 5:25 am

So not only do we give Kawhi his first triple-double of his career last time we played, but we also let the Clippers make the most threes for their franchise! Amazing! Thanks Spo! :reporter:

All things considered, we're missing a crap ton of players due to injury. Only 9 players played tonight. It's a credit to Pat Riley that this team is so deep that no one is talking about just how injury plagued we've been all season. Most other teams would've been in the lottery.

Bam seems close with so many players. So many superstar level players.

Oh well we got our 2nd butthole in LA. Onto the next one
