Reggie Jackson and Morris getting minutes right now is absolutely killing this team. Both are awful on defense and poor rebounders. This team is a dumpster fire.

Miami defense has been good so far.

We just lack energy and fire right now, need some Coffey.

I get more and more open to a Morris trade every game these last few games. Does not play smart ball.

No one's playing smart ball.

We have no defensive identity. 16th (?) starting lineup. Still a pickup team.

I know the angry birds hate excuses, but the first game back after a road trip is usually discombobulated. And the Clips are home for ONE lousy game before hitting the road again to Denver on Thursday.

Not a home game at all. Better we had stayed on the road.

Miami is shooting 57% and outrebounding us 24-15. End of story so far. This is a team suck. Any further scapegoating is superfluous.

Finally better energy on defense. Our 2nd unit will be the key for our comeback.

It always stuns me when zones get us to go stagnant, with how often we play zone, you'd think they'd practice enough against it to know how to exploit it

Please go away? Any dope off the street can say this when the Clippers get down by 20.

Now we're up by 2 after 3 quarters. Win or lose---Can we PLEASE enjoy our board and our team and our game threads???
