Baron is 1-7 from the field with 3 points in the game right now. Not acceptable from ANY starting PG!

The shot selection, the body language, the arguing with the coach, the not running the offense, the no penetration...all he wants to do is play in a GSW type of system and go ISO-1 all day. If that was the case, then why leave?

Dump this dude at all cost!

Clearly, he "left it all on the floor" in the last game when he shot a jaw-dropping 40% from the field (one of his "best" shooting performances of the year, no doubt). Can this POS please sustain a season ending injury, watching him loaf up and down the court while earning obscene sums of money literally makes me sick to my stomach. What a loser.

I will take the 8 assists on 3 turnovers with only 7 FGAs from Baron. Even if he's not making his 3's, his reputation and persistency keep opposing defenses honest against him. If Baron is shooting that percentage on 10-15 FGAs then I have a problem with him being on the floor. I really can't wait 'til Mardy and Taylor come back.

So much for a win streak.
We need better from Al --- it's not as if he can't do it because he did it in Atlanta. Just turn it on in other games that are in non-Atlanta arenas. Maybe the Clippers need to schlep Al's parents and high school buddies around on the charter plane with them to sit in the audience wherever they play and motivate him to play well everywhere.
And we need better from Baron. Eight assists is good --- I love to see a point guard who gets lots of assists --- but if you only score 3 points then you need to get even more than 8 assists, or fewer turnovers, or more defense, or something.
You'd think we would become immune to any feelings over getting out-coached endlessly --- but it doesn't happen to me. Sigh.

Looks like we don't have a real shot at winning games, if those long range jumpers aren't falling...
