Lue is a moron for starting the half w/ Pj instead of Powell

Why go away from the lineup that went on a big run to tie the game at half?

Doris, he was passing up shots in the first half.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Jason Kidd, take note. That's when you call a timeout.

Refs got a memo from Silver halfway through the 2nd to remind the refs that the Clippers were the only California team left in the playoffs.

It's not actually PJ Tucker that Ty Lue is going with...it's the memory of what PJ used to be that he's going with. PJ was washed 2 years ago. :lol:

Dallas shot 40/25 and missed 6 of their 19 first half FTA, that's why it was tied, not "the refs".

They really aren’t playing this like it is an elimination game at all. Maybe they think they are up 3-2. Or maybe they are trying so hard to not stay loose that they have no urgency.

I know you can’t always read too much into plus minus, but PJ tucker is a -18 in 9 mins… feels like that should be telling Tye Lue something (I.e. that it’s not 2018)

You don't just bench your starters at half time:)

It is fine. You are absolutely right. There were no dubious calls at all which caused a momentum shift. None at all.

Paul George has passed up like 7 floaters in the lane. Him and Harden won’t take them
