Chris Paul, like always putting everything on his shoulders and making Del Fail not look so bad. I almost wanted us to lose that one.

I want to see Del Fail gone so bad, you guys don't even know. I prefer Darius Miles coaching the team.

I understand where you're coming from, but I honestly don't think that we would do that until the end of the season. If Vinny were canned mid-season, he would only be replaced by Iavaroni who has been no prize himself as a head coach. Neil seems to know what he's talking about and what he's doing. There are better options that will be available this summer and we have the opportunity to attract them given the city and 2 stars we have on this team. We don't even have to go through the bad PR of firing/not paying the lame duck coach.

Sadly it has been as of late.

My fear is we resign him mk, it's like a horrible nightmare. I need some assurance of him being gone. :lol:

I definitely agree with what you're saying though.

I think that's everyone's worst nightmare with this team. I like the guy, but he is just not a coach at this point of his career. He needed to pay his dues as an assistant coach before getting offered a head position. You figure that most coaches can give you either defense or offense (few both), but he's neither. With the players that we have, we need a defensive minded presence on the sidelines. Defense will win you games even when you're offense isn't clicking, because it keeps you in the game (e.g. the Milwaukee game). If you can't get stops, your offense can only save you so many times when you are in trouble.

Another CP3-led victory!

It won't be after Young replaces Foye in the starting lineup.

Clips started & ended strong, they went away in the 2nd & 3rd quarter. We are lucky to get the win.
The refs were pretty good up until the last 5 minutes of the game, where they tried to hand the game to Houston.
