Mann gets nothing done again
it's not that he's bad but 10-6-2 in 28 minutes is just not enough production

show us what you got, Bones

RoCo the same--6-2-2 in 26
that just doesn't cut it

show us what you got left, EJ

Our 4 guards had 3 assists combined. Yeah sure, some guy named "bones" is gonna fix this.

Besides Kawhi being fantastic in January, and Norm's play lately, there's very little to cheer for this season so far. It's one of the most lifeless Clippers season that I can remember, given the expectation of this year. I am hoping the 3 new comers can bring some life back starting next week.

Meanwhile, PG shrinks against any opponent with a pulse.

Well …

PG going on about how this team needs a traditional pg and it’s gotta be Westbrook. He’s been talking to him recent days, hopes they can work something out.

Aw bummer. I know we are short handed but man PG has to do better. Honestly I think I'm desperate enough for Westbrook. What's the worst that can happen.

This is just so wrong. What kind of chemistry PG13 and Morris hopes to build with this nonsense.

It looks like in a market with sellers have best advantages, we made a mistake with not trading PG13, I could see Knicks throwing 5 picks and swap.

With Frank and Lue's disagreement on Pointguard pov leaked to everywhere, if we make the Russ move it would not only **** up the season, but also organization. Because we would know PG(and probably Kawhi too) must have breached Frank and put the matter to Ballmer to step in.

Well…doesn’t look like we can beat that team in a 7 game series.

2020: Bubble Choke
2021: Torn ACL Conference Finals Run
2022: Miss Playoffs
2023: Will we even win 50 games?

I just told some Laker fan friends that the LeBum era sucks.
Lmao. Our Kawhi era sucks worse.
Thank God for all the tampering and trading SGA for PG.
Thank God for popping bottles to make the 8th seed.
Thank God for Game 2 in the 2019 1st Round against GSW. I mean we lost the series to a team we hate but at least we had a “moment we’ll never forget”.

Kawhi’s got like 3 months to justify ever being given the keys to any franchise at all (let alone our beloved Clippers).
Good freakin luck dude.

PG running point is killing his game and he knows it. Its just a bad look all around though after you've traded Reggie and Wall away and Westbrook is looking at Miami and Chicago as his choice of destinations. This might be the beginning of the end tbh., and we haven't even got to see the new arrivals play yet. Kawhi wasn't at the game so maybe he's actually injured which could mean that things actually will finally go belly up for reals. Might have to do a "Brooklyn" and just say f*ck it and move the stars. All those moves and we still have Morris starting at PF?? Unbelievable. All bullsh*t aside this game actually needed more BBJ minutes. I think he's starting to put it together.

I'm all the way out on PG. It's bad enough that he chokes and disappears in every big game, but to make roster demands in public on top of that is like salt in the wound. He was one of the worst players on the court last night himself but he's out here throwing his teammates under the bus after they tried to carry him to a win. Unbelievable.

We just spent the trade deadline dumping two of PG's other friends he recruited because they were unplayable. We even had to gift Luke to a conference rival to make it happen. And we're supposed to keep listening to his suggestions? Enough is enough.

Same goes for Morris, too. He has been awful and still putting his two cents in on roster moves. Meanwhile, the only reason he's still on our roster is because he has zero trade value for the rest of the league. What a joke.

Can't forget about Kawhi sitting out again for no reason. Not even trying to make it look like sensible load management anymore. This is the most unlikeable Clippers team since Andre Miller was here.

Maybe the coffee hasn’t kicked in and I’m still half asleep.

With some tweaks I feel like we match up with the Bucks ok. We went into Milwaukee and played pretty well except for those final minute meltdowns.

This game we hung in there until the 3rd and stuff unraveled. But we didn’t have Leonard or the new additions. We weren’t embarrassed say like the Denver games at least.

Not saying I’m hoping we get the Bucks in the finals just they don’t scare me as other teams do. And those teams stand in the west so yeah getting through that is … well … yeah.

But none of it matters who is on the court if Lue isn’t going to play chess instead of checkers.

Giannis is going to get his. You limit him some and it’s a win. But you can’t let Lopez (who is a stud in his own right) get whatever he wants with little resistance.

At this point I have to agree with the "Lue needs to be fired" sentiment.
We have younger wings in the waiting who can defend better and make Hussle plays and probably even give us much needed scoring but Lue keeps on playing Morris like he was MJ.
I got this new projector setup and thought I'd enjoy watching our games but so far I'm enjoying national geographic more. :)

I get George's frustration of Lue trying to force him to play the point position, but stuff like that doesn't need to be aired out, and when we got a "true" point, it made no difference.

Wish we would've just found a route to Monte Morris, but it is what it is.

Oh PG it would definitely improve the team if you actually played like a $40 million player. If you shot better and didn't act like a bonehead half the game.
