given the amount of time this lineup has had to play with each other i agree the chemistry is not gunna be there, but good coaches build teams around good philosophies on how to play the game e.g. popovich & sloan, even with their star players get injured they still find a way to stay close to .500 cause they play good defense and run an efficient offense regardless of what players they plug in and out of their lineups...Dunleavy is just an awful coach, i love the players on this team but the way they play sometimes is so chaotic and disorganized largely due to Dunleavy the Dictator poor ability to prepare this squad for ball games

Could Baron Davis end the year with a sub 40% field goal percentage? That's what I'm wondering.

I didn't think that was even allowed in the NBA.

DJ is not getting minutes any more. I say play him instead of Skinner, if he got Skinner's minutes tonite he'd have 27 minutes or so. It's not such a huge dropoff even now, and Skinner isn't going to get any better.

I watched a bit of Baron last night, oh my god what a chucker. His shot selection has to be one of the worst in NBA. I wonder what's the effect of such a player on youngsters, specially Gordon, who was supposed to look up to Baron.

I didn't get to see this game and will likely miss most of, if not all of 3 of the next 4. I am glad that Zach is finally back. From the boxscore it looks like he had no problems scoring. What's up with Al though? 28% from the field in the last 4 games. I'm sure most of them were jumpers as usual. When you combine that with Baron, they're 30 for 103.

After Wednesday's game, the schedule leading up to the ASB isn't horrible, but certainly not a given either. It would be nice to see another win before then.

Baron is Dunleavy the GM/Coach.

DJ not playing is Dunleavy the Coach.

Get rid of Dunleavy! Then trade Baron for scraps. That will start your turnaround.

Yeah, getting rid Baron for absolutely nothing sounds real good. Not.

You wouldn't trade Baron for an expiring? REALLY?

The guy has given the team NOTHING! He's the reason this team sux! If he would just run the offense and stop chucking up bad shots, the Clippers would have a chance!
