Blake Griffin is still out but we'll see if the Clippers can continue playing well in his absence by trying to take down the LeBron James and the Cavaliers. Time to take down the former king of South Beach.

Clippers are 0-6 against the top 3 seeded teams in both conferences. They can make it 1-6 by beating the Cavs.

But to do it without Blake Griffin, if they win it, the trade talks are only going to increase.

i don't think the score reflects it but i'm really liking a lot of things we're doing on defense.

don't see how doc's all star small ball lineup is going to get anything done vs's cleveland's monsters.

team is getting posted up and outrebounded at will.

oh and of course doc is leaving jamal in for hack a jordan.

nickhx2 · Post #17 » by **nickhx2** » Fri Jan 22, 2016 2:54 am

so, the whole point of small ball is so you can super blitz the other team with pace and space and shooting, etc. except when the other team has guys like mozgov and thompson (who is a monster rebounder), you lose out big on that end. yet doc goes with his small ball dudes against cleveland AND they're hacking dj. so there is no reward or bonus offensively for playing small. and to top it off doc refuses to call a timeout. WTF

second game in a row doc is making some very poor choices.

You mean with his chicken wing elbow and unnecessary fade?
