These mind boggling decisions are why I am leaning closer and closer to a reset.


Radio talker Colin Cowherd says he has a great contact inside the Clippers org.

This morning Cowherd says the org is exasperated with Kawhi. He has told them as late as 3:30 that he's not playing that night. They never know what they're going to get with this guy and making plans around him is impossible.

Face of the franchise my ass. He's part of the problem, and at $40M and 1/3 of the salary cap, a BIG part of the problem.

Boggles my mind how someone could treat their team like that especially when they give them everything they want.

Tonight is Roco's night I can feel it. We will remember this night when Roco saved the season

Lol, 40 sounds about right

Just hate the typical Westbrook get into a bad position and try to make a pass turnover

I do caution in taking everything talking heads say as gospel truth, there can be some sensational additions there.

Cowherd is ok. He has a weekly segment about what he got right and wrong.

I do believe he has this deep Clipper contact--and this is not anything I haven't seen elsewhere. Cowherd and Dan Patrick have ace cred in the sportstalk business. All the top pro athletes and coaches go on their shows. They have reputations to defend. We're not talking Chris Broussard or any of the hacks breathlessly humping scoops and rumors. Cowherd put this out as a throwaway, not a major story.

Get the selfish, non defending Hyland out of the game. He just comes down and jacks up shots. We need to be attack.

covington to the RIM lol

i don't wanna be too harsh on amir because we know who he is and he has limitations, and he almost never plays

but: we saw a lot of good things out of him last year and i really wish there was just one thing that he picked to work on all season to be exceptional at. or at least super good.

It wouldn't surprise me since how the whole Spurs thing went.

mann with some great looks at the 3. glad that he's looking like somewhat of a player again, despite basically being demoted to persona non grata

Cowherd also said Belichick would leave the Patriots for Michigan... then for the Jaguars. And let's also not forget what he said about people from the Dominican Republic. He's a blowhard.

PG has taken four shots all half. Maybe he was being generous by calling himself a second option. He's a role player, and not even a good one.

the paul george behind the back passes to guys at the 3 point line behind him are legit, good ones and good decisions.

too bad the team didn't make it more of a point to integrate that stuff all season and instead let him shenanigan his way down the lane pretty much every single game.
