Cam and Seth better get their crap together. Clips singled them out.

Re: GT: Brooklyn vs Clippers
Our defense was pretty good. If we can knock down these open looks we can open up the game

Kept them under 20 is good. KD playing entire Q is bad.

Shots didn't go down but I couldn't ask for a better quarter. Clippers basically got nothing but contested jumpers in that quarter. Great defense. If we tighten up the passes and knock down some open shots, we should be good.

That 2nd unit can't create open looks. If not for KD we'd be in trouble.

Sumner haven't played more than 23m entire season. We need to change that today.

If Powell played every game vs Nets he'd have supermax

Re: GT: Brooklyn vs Clippers
Bench was looking kinda scary (in a bad way), but ball movement hasn't been too bad the last few possessions. Still not sure I really like how Ben is being utilized on offense, but he's looking like he's getting more comfortable with his role overall.

If Nash coached, we’d be blown out. The ball movement is crisp and defense is great.

Good Defense but Durant is the only consistent scorer.

Need to figure out Morris 3's. He's the only one making them consistently.

It's scares me having Kyrie on this team, but we need him.

Man that easily could've been a 12 to 15 point lead. Dumb turnovers and the Clips hitting super contested 3s were killer.
Love the way we're playing. We need to be careful with giving Zubac easy post ups in the 2nd half. We went SUPER small with the second unit.
It's kind of sad but at this point, I'm just treating Ben like a 10th man until he steps it up. He played with a lineup of Patty, Seth, Cam, Harris. You literally can't ask for more shooting and spacing. He didn't look at the rim once. Even worse, he had Zubac on him and never even thought about driving in. I'm giving him time and hoping his body gets right but it's kind of crazy how mentally defeated he looks. This is a former all star who hasn't even cracked double digits once this year.

I'd rather trade him but if he comes back, he needs to prove he can buy into a system. His first game under Vaughn was an absolute disaster where he looked completely disinterested. That wasn't just an off game.
Either he was distracted by the pending suspension or Vaughn told him to play team basketball and he decided to pout. He's done it before when teams tell him to pass more. Wouldn't be surprised at all if that's what happened that game.

Up until that game he was putting numbers. I believe it's suspension that we didn't knew at the time. He was wondering WTF is going to happen if Tsai himself got involved.

Ben's face on the court right now tells me everything I need to know, he looks like a guy who has seemingly lost his powers overnight and is learning to deal with it on the fly. The smirking Ben in street clothes is gone.
That lineup with shooting around him is tailor made for someone like him but he's still running away from the ball. Even if you put someone like Kelly Olynyk in Ben's place he'd be doing better with that lineup

I wouldn't put it past him.
