Game #11 Clippers vs Cavs 7:30pm

[Clemenza]

Great comeback for the win. Gotta rewatch the game in the morning to get into detail

[Captain Ballmer]

I wasn't expecting that comeback in the last 2 minutes or so. Great effort and reminder of last season' clutch genes.

However, lets not forget that we got outrebounded big time 48-31 and their FG% and 3pt% are higher than us. This win shouldn't happen in normal scenario. Sell high on Norman-Reggie and get us a good bench big man Lawrance.

Great comeback win. Great gutsy performance. Powell finally showed up and contributed. PG has been very solid for us. We really need this Mann if we're going to stay relevant.

Missed most of the comeback during the last 6 mins or so. Looking at the box score, Mitchell did not take a single shot during our comeback. I am guessing we did a terrific job denying him the ball. This guy is always in God mode whenever he plays us.

Not sure if the coaching staff had a talk with T-Mann. This guy went from completely invisible to a key contributor in the last 2 games. Gotta keep this up.

As a matter of fact, Mobley (if I'm not mistaking) did say we were throwing a lot of bodies at Mitchell late in the game.

As for the second part:

T-Mann always had some great flashes, but now we could really use some consistency as well. Part of that seems to be knowing exactly what his role is out there, which isn't easy with so many lineup changes.

That whiteboy behind the Cavs bench was annoying the **** out of me. He was the one trying to distract the Clippers during their free throws in the second half. Glad he exited the arena with a sad face.

watching the first quarter i thought there was little chance we could compete in this game. we just lacked a structural advantage, not just against their gigantic lineup, but also their superior athleticism. we won but it felt like, very sheesh, because i don't think we are supposed to win against that good of a team or that type of a team all that often. obviously kawhi changes the factors quite a bit, but the calculus of this team's weaknesses stay the same and they seem glaring. in the coming years i get the distinct feeling most teams are going to be asking three questions: how do you beat zion? how do you beat luka? and how do you beat ja? and to me we're mostly going to be wondering about zion and ja for the above reasons.

so, yeah. i think if lawrence frank and the FO were to take anything away from the start of the season, it'd be this game. in a 7 game series, as teams with that size and athleticism advantage are going to cause big problems for us.

i think he has consistently been yanked around with his role and it's hindered his development and ability to figure out what he should be on the court. last year was a great opportunity for him to solidify that but IMO lue kinda messed up on that, and it's even worse this year (though it's less on lue and more on we have too many players and kawhi is in and out). and to complicate matters, marcus morris is an actual player this year lol.

i have no idea what the team's gonna do or should do. i get the feeling powell's the right guy to be moved even though he's kinda the best value and ceiling raiser we have if he gets back to his usual self. a lot of questions, and few answers, it seems.
