That little rest helped. Nice coaching move. Have to credit Witt sometimes.

I *hate* this double foul nonsense. If you can't decide, call it a jump ball with no fouls.

This killed the Clippers in a game vs. the Warriors earlier this year.

Good to see that bogus charge call go in our favor for once.

It's weird but at least he took John out when he was playing better so he doesn't go to the bench frustrated. I'm just sick about him playing 8 guys for 2 straight games with a healthy team. An NBDL coach wouldn't do that.


Actually, lots of coaches have stuck with a short rotation. Good coaches... maybe not in this era but certainly done a lot before and by very good coaches.

Not defending Wittman though... not sure what his thinking is but it does seem to be working.

This is not your typical team with so many injury-prone players. My main issue with that is you are starting to play Nene 35+ minutes and it's tough to imagine he's going to hold up the rest of the year playing that many minutes.

I genuinely did not believe in the least that they'd hold on to that lead, yet they did it. Kudos.

That little rest helped. Nice coaching move. Have to credit Witt sometimes.

Also he sat Beal's butt on the bench.. good to let him know that his spot as a "closer" on this team is far from cemented. If he's playing poorly we don't need him out there.

I know they were jumpers but John Wall just closed out this game like a MFing BOSS.

Some people want Beal traded. He's a kid. What is he 20? He has to toughen up and he will. He has so much talent.
