We need a win. Tough to get one over these guys though.

At the very least we we need Gordo to get back on track and to get something, anything, from our centres.

think this is a stealable game but there's always the chance PG or Kawhi decides to just nuke a random team

I noticed his shoulder was heavily taped with black tape at the start of last nights game.

Maybe it’s something. Maybe it’s nothing.

He's not just mediocre but he's ALWAYS injured. He's unlikely to be here next season unless his contract is really short and really cheap.

Trade deadline is coming up soon. This really forces Mitch Kupchak's hand. Coach Borrego would not be bothered to put in one of the rookies tomorrow night, but he would start a veteran at center if he were worth his salt.

I'd love to see one one the rooks thrown into the fire tonight tbh, in the starting lineup. yeah Carey and Richards have both looked like relative ass all year but they play garbage min with garbage lineups. i think either one would play better in spot minutes with the starters than they would with the backups
lets see what we've got, it would help to answer some questions before the deadline at least

Biyombo is starting. Anybody think we can actually win this? Or that Coach Borrego will play another center?

They've got Pat Bev and Ibaka out...we'll definitely need to go small for the majority of the game. Biz hopefully will play <=20 minutes. I really, really wouldn't mind giving Richards a stint to see what he's got at this juncture. If he still looks "overwhelmed", you've gotta think it should force Kupchak's hand before the trade deadline/in the buyout market. Even playing the Lakers last night, they had a 10-day contract guy starting for them in Damian Jones. He certainly is an upgrade over Biz. We can't find/sign a guy like that even?

I hope we can be competitive. We'll probably see JB ride Cody Martin over Monk for "defensive purposes" to guard Kawhi/PG13. It does make sense, but it'll hurt our offense. And if does end up doing that, it'll really really hurt if Martin and Biz are both out there at the same time. Let's see us compete hard tonight though!!! BZZZZZZ

Yeah...I need to switch away from our feed, I love our guys but I can't do this without any game sound.

ETA: the LAC feed isn't any better. Is this just me?

Oh, boy. This is getting out of hand quickly. Someone slip Terry the ball and maybe set a screen while you're at it.

As I was saying....

Fix the lack of game noise plz.

It never ceases to amaze me how much Biz gets the ball on offense when he's in lol.

That last 3 by PG13 was a 2 not a 3...should be 26 not 27-14...not like it matters if they're literally going to make every single shot :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Good news: we are shooting 50%. Bad news: the Clippers are shooting 85%.

I may just be box score watching tonight.

i have zero idea why miles, first guy off the bench, is replacing PJ who's playing well

as if biz is ever going to be taken seriously on either end of the floor by any team with double digit IQ

Game noise is definitely just way low compared to everything else so it’s weir.

They flashed the clippers 3pt% before the game started which tells me that we ate screwed.

Good lineup JB’s got out there. Biz and Cody the center of the offense and now Devonte comes in. Are we even trying to win?
