I wouldn't complain if CP3 took 25 shot attempts from a midrange PnR instead of so many 3's by players in shooting slumps.

That was a terrible ending to the half

This team still sucks and can't mentally handle having any decent lead at all.

No Derrick Rose and no Pau Gasol. We should be dominating these guys. But it doesn't surprise me anymore. We couldn't even dominate OKC or the Lakers. This Clipper team is not elite anymore.

Blake being sloppy there

Be consistent on that one though since Noah got it last time

We were never elite to begin with. Shaky defense, no rebounding, no small forward and overly reliant on a point guard. But we've gotten worse this season than we were last year while almost the entire rest of the West has improved. :noway:

Remember last season when we only lost around 5 or 6 games at home?

Man I love Jimmy Butler.

Without sounding too negative because I realise this game is just one sample, but how did we go from having two possible MVP players last year to two stars who can be so easily shut down by the opposition defense?

being down by 14 to the Bulls is almost like begin down 30.

looks like we'll need a flawless fourth to pull this one off.

CP3 has pretty much zero athleticism anymore and has turned into an overdribbling, ballhogging egomaniac. Also, I'm convinced Blake's back injury is a LOT more serious than what was reported over the summer. That's how.

No we were elite last year. Had some flaws but we were able to compensate. Now we're just flat out average.

Still shocked that Blake went 2 Qtrs without getting a basket!

What the **** is going on with this team?

Our teams that lost 55 games were far less frustrating.

Butler flew way too much for that to be real

He was still moving, so it was a clear block. The ref was right there and had a perfect view of it so there was no excuse for that bad call. Still, the Clips put themselves in this position to begin with.

no more game threads for me.
