Game 10: Raptors (4-4) vs. Clippers (3-6)

[PlinkingPanda]

It's early but this team has to decide what direction they want to go if they want to win I think we need to make a (instant impact) trade or if we are going back to the lotto then trade expirings for picks.

gordon wasn't playing or griffin, I think it would be fair to judge the team when they are at full power.

That same excuse was uses last year damn near every team in the league has a player or players hurt orout the game doesn't stop because players are gone

We've changed players enough over the years. Now it's just time to change the coaching staff.

I'm sure we'd all agree that no matter how many moves we make to bring new players in, the results will remain the same until we have a coach who knows what he's doing.

We need a 3-0 road trip or we are screwed.

I was at the game today, and I have to say I'm so frustrated with the losing. We had a 22-point lead and we lost it. 4th quarter was just terrible especially in the end. Who can we possibly blame this on? We cannot blame this on the injuries. Look at the Kings, Rockets, Spurs, and even the Lakers. They at least have one of their best players out and it doesn't seem to affect their team's play. There are so many loyal Clipper fans and we deserve to say what we want to make this team better. I don't know what else to think but only hope that they can still recover. Even though I hate Dunleavy dearly, we can't put all the blame on him. Clippers come on we need to step up we don't want to suffer another season like last year. Baron Davis has been playing well, Kaman too but they can't do it all by themselves. I'm starting to disgust Butler. Seriously we should have won this game. I'm tired of getting my heart broken.

We're screwed no matter what, if Dunleavy is still coaching this team. This guy should be fired tonight or tomorrow after watching this debacle. How do you go up by as many as 22 points, but end up losing by 15? Seriously, it's just becoming a joke that Dunleavy continuously finds ways to help screw this team over with his horrible coaching. The time is now. Sterling, fire this idiot please.

I think i've got this season Clippers slogan and it's called...

No matter what, we'll find a way to lose

Blowing a 22 point lead is just one of those other creative ways to lose a game, i guess...

Dumbleavy's "tactics" and lineups have been crappy again.
Why the heck does he play Baron the complete 2nd half?
And what's up with that 2 pg lineup? That just can't work as neither of them can play off the ball or consistantly hit jump shots.

I really hope for some change, but as we know Sterling, we'll still have Dumbleavy coaching at least this season with two more years on his contract.

The only good thing here is if this pushes Sterling to get the team a real coach.
I know, I know --- it hasn't happened for years. But sooner or later the basketball gods have to smile on the Clippers at long last and there will be a coach who can design plays, understand match-ups, work with the young guys the way they deserve, know how to close out games, and give the team the leadership they, and we, deserve.

Saturday: Just watched the tape of the whole game again --- Raptors coach made adjustments throughout the game. Dunleavy apparently doesn't know what that means. Doesn't even bother to call a timeout to break the other team's momentum when it gets going. And does he have any idea of how to set an organized offense? That was a classic game of being thoroughly outcoached.
This team, these Clipper players, deserve so much better.

Not scoring in the last 6 minutes of the game is unacceptable.
