What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

This Clippers roster depth looks incredibly weak without Kawhi.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Hopefully Quickley is back during one of these LA Weekend games and Mogbo and Walter are ready to go...

Hey can anyone do me a favor?

I run a 20 team Real GM Yahoo Fantasy Keeper League with your fellow board members super fun and
active league for the last 11 years. You get 4 Keepers per year, standard stat categories and roster size.
4 Divisions of 5 teams (North, West, East, South) with Division winners making the playoffs and 4 Wild card
spots. Trading of Draft picks is also allowed.

We have one team available and I'm tired of running that team and my team and I'm looking for a dedicated
knowledgeable Basketball fan to join our league.

The current team available is 12-6 (5th overall out of 20 teams) and leading the South Division...

Their current roster is the following...

Cade Cunningham
James Harden
Fred VanVleet
Brandon Ingram
Julius Randle
Andrew Wiggins
Jonas Valanciunas
Ochai Agbaji
Taurean Prince
Mike Conley
Moses Moody
Daniel Theis
Trey Murphy III - INJ
Mitchell Robinson - INJ

There's gotta be somebody out there that wants in and is up to the challenge to face some of best
Fantasy Basketball players this board has to offer.

Clippers will be playing on a back to back. I could see us winning this one.

Young teams are so prone to losing games in the 4th. I wonder if they will eventually start to feel discouraged by that and and start to not fight as hard. So far I've preferred in when we have gone down big and rallied to make it a game in the final seconds. Losing after leading for 95 percent of the game is demoralizing.

Yes, the reason is cause veteran teams set in a new gear and play better in the 4th, and young teams cant deal with that very well.

But with us, its more like we suddenly start making stupid mistakes, nothing the other team forces us to do.

I'm just watching to see our team develop so it's been kind of nice to feel less stressed about wins and losses than usual.

IDK, the Kings started getting into better offensive sets and attacking the weaknesses also turned up defensively.

We just don;t have the ability to coast like other teams do. You see what happens when we do (CLE game, 1st half MIN game)
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

Looking fun and competent for 3 quarters then falling apart because guys who never play in crunch time are getting valuable experience is the ideal tank job. I've never been team tank like the Sixers did with Hinkie, fielding grossly uncompetitive teams on purpose. But I can fully support what's happening now. Our core is locked in - let's find out if we've hit on some fringe players at a low cost. That internal competition should keep the team hungry.

This kind of situation where you are on the road waiting while your opponent is on a back to back, I wonder if teams ever consider just showing up as a team to watch the game courtside.

Edit: just realized that Clippers are in Sac tonight not at home.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Who roots for losses in early November anyway? Tons of time ahead for degenerate tank talk.
