I dont remember what happened in the game last night, just that he went out and never came back in.

Has Clingan regressed or has everyone elae stepped up, which makes him look horrible? The dude is clunky. I'm just not a fan so far. I'd much rather have someone more fluid, like Ware. Clingan looks like he's in pain when he runs. I really hate watching him play right now.

Feels too early to decide with him. By all accounts his mentality and effort are there but it's hard to make an impression one way or another with limited playing time

The rest of the team has had a good two years to get their legs, Clingan is in year one, cut him a little slack. I'm not worried yet.

His lack of athleticism is pretty profound…he hasn’t ever really looked the same since that first injury.

He’s young and makes up for it in other ways, somewhat…but this offseason is going to be MASSIVE for Clingan. He needs to get his body and conditioning together. Enough, that he can be counted on for 30 minutes a night.

Im not worried; I'm just not sold. Clunky is clunky and I dont know that he can change that. He's a big guy so I get it, but Wemby is taller and he's not clunky. I'd rsther have someone who can move better. That's all I'm saying.

I remember football players used to take ballet lessons... I would chip in 20 :-)
