We're literally running a 1992 offense in 2022. Any franchise that was actually serious about winning would have at least made a coaching change by now. It's bad enough that we have an ancient, slow roster in a league full of youth and athleticism. We can't also have a coach who's stuck in the past and expect to win anything.

Like, it's basically late-stage Lob City all over again. Inept front office, terrible coaching, a team that plays like they can't stand each other or the sport of basketball, and no reaction from Ballmer as he flushes money down the toilet on this mess.


agreed. GM/coach need to be changed. Ballmer is awesome but this money is not well spent. What area of LA do you live in?

Kawhi is still that dude even when he's rusty.

This is Kawhi's return game. He's rusty and cautious. The other guys need to adjust.
At least Reggie is having a good game. Let's hope the second half is in our favor.
Go Clippers!!


now there are 2 of them

smdh

Yeah that was the first play where I was like Kawhi is still alive.

but he comes up with the dagger slam

Kawhi a modest 6-5-4 but plus+26 in 25 minutes

Batum minus-11
Mann minus-12
Powell minus-17

Clippers are still 7-3 over their last 10

We'll take this win. Great to see Kawhi back. Reggie and Morris had good games. PG is all peaks and valleys with a lot of valleys. Good to see Moses Brown get some run. Really that's all we need is ten minutes of rebounding, rim protection, and him getting a dunk or two which gives Zu a good rest for the 4th quarter. Small ball is dead and I hope it stays that way. Would like to see Moussa get some run eventually. He's killing it in the G League right now. We need that youth and athleticism as this team is old as sh*t. Also Zu has to convert some of those easy baskets under the rim. Hell of a rebounding effort from him tho

Best win of the season! Our D was amazing tonight. Reggie has solidified his starting role for the rest of the season.

Brown should be splitting minutes with Zu. I would like to see more movement. They bring the ball up so slow and stand around. We definitely need to get younger. We literally got 3 dunks in the game. Yikes. The Pistons were trying to give the game away and we kept them around. We have played a crazy easy schedule so far and barely above 500. This is going to be a long season where we either barely make the playoffs or barely miss. We arent a championship contender.

This might be a crazy proposition, but I say let's hold off on firing Ty and Lawrence until after New Year. No one should be out of a job for the holidays.

Wall played completely terrible- almost like he was trying to throw the game. Lue should have benched him earlier.

Will always take a win no matter how ugly it was.

The amount of turn overs and in the fashion that they occurred is mind boggling.

With how terrible this team has been playing most of the season so far - they are only 1.5 games out of first place in the west.

The offense is very stagnant and I recall there was more ball Movement last year. Not understanding what happened and what regressed ??

Kawhi impacts the game in many ways. He gives effort on all metrics. He fights for rebounds and deflects on defense.

Return to Los Angeles Clippers
