You have to draw up something down by one it's just to risky to allow the majority second unit to take on that much pressure.

I was having issues with RealGM, we had a chance to win the game and we just couldn't get it done. Hopefully we will win a game soon.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Hopefully the Clips will learn to close out games with a easier schedule coming up. It's tough to blame them for going 0-4 but it's been against 4 perennial playoff teams, so let's hope the boys build some confidence and cancel out this bad start with a winning streak. There are plenty of games to go.

Funny thing the Wolves are probably looking at us thinking that should be a easy win.

Watching the game at staples was somewhat fun and disgusting at the same time. Whenever the Clippers seem to start a run it kind of goes dull at the next second. They made a lot of bad plays. It was just passing the ball to whoever could even get the ball. There was no spark. Before the end of the 2nd half everything was ruined after Telfair got a technical or something similar to that and got tied.

I could hear many people yelling near the end of the 4th quarter complaining where Baron Davis was, but to be honest we shouldn't blame Dunleavy because our second unit brought us closer to winning game but it just didn't work out in the end. They had many chances to take the lead but never got it. The only thing I'm really sad about is the 0-4 start. I really hope this doesn't go deja vu all over again :(

Whatever happened to the type of team we had during the preseason, we can't just use the Blake Griffin injury as an excuse to why we are losing. We need to step it up and beat the teams we should be beating during the next week!

The end of that game was tough to watch.

I guess we all agree that the talent this team has was good enough to go 4-0 or 3-1 this stretch. Dunleavy is making bad decisions and resulting bad plays. I had always thought that we cannot win without BD scoring 20points a game, but I think we'd better off without him shooting at all. He contributes great with assists and on the defense, but we should let Kaman and Gordon use the shots instead of Baron.

Here we go again. Close in the 4th but still able to somehow manage a loss.
Now we've got an 0-4 start to the season with our priced rookie watching in street clothes.
Let's hope we can somehow get a win real soon, cause if we really want to make a push for the playoffs we just can't fall behind that much early on.

At least Kaman seems to be back to his old Caveman 2.0 days and, at the very least, should upgrade his trade value due to that.

Who should do that?
We've got Baron on pg and he doesn't really cares about defense. Kaman is putting up solid numbers but isn't able to lock down anyone. And when you start Al instead of Butler you pretty much give up on solid defense on the wing, cause Gordon alone won't get it done. All things considered, we just don't have enough good defenders out there and our coach isn't able to implement solid team defense.

Again, we're talking about Dunleavy here. He's the master of isolation and hasn't heard about something called creating/calling plays. He'd rather just isolate guys on the wing and hopes that they either create their own shots or somehow find somoene open somewhere on the court. :nonono:

I'm going to the game on Monday night so hopefully I can see the 1st win of the season. The team is playing a lot better than last year but just can't pull out the W.

Any news on Blake? I wonder if he's ahead of schedule.

Very frustrating for all Clippers fans when game after game has moments where a win is really possible, and yet the coaching drags them down to a loss. :(
If this continues after Griffin is playing, fans should stage some sort of revolt. It's just gone on way, way too long.

Even when Brand missed the entire season, I still watched the games, but this time I'm contemplating not watching a single game until Griffin returns. It hurts that bad to watch them have four straight 4th qtr collapses. I don't think my heart can take it.
