Green looks good early while Pierce continues to decompose before our eyes.

[Ranma]

I criticize Pierce and, in short order, he's putting up some good numbers. I'm also liking the ball movement and emphasis in looking for J.J. for the open 3-pointers. Hope to see more of this with our game plan moving forward.

Wesley Johnson continues to get antsy with his anticipation of passes before taking a shot on his 3-pointers without setting his feet.

Okay, so DJ just realized that he can do some offense recently, lol

How the hell is Rivers worth keeping over Lance?!?! Rivers is a worse shooter and is hesitant playing downhill. Having both Pablo and Rivers out there really hurts our offence.

[Ranma]

The Clippers played smothering defense and had pinpoint ball-movement on offense for most of the game, but the intensity petered out towards the end of the 2nd quarter, which has allowed for the Hawks to come back to within 5 points in this contest. The team needs to continue working on sustaining its effort for not only a game, but a whole season. The Clips also took 21 3-point attempts in the 1st half but I can't complain since they have been wide-open shots with 9 makes.

CP looked tired as hell at the end of the third.

I am in awe of Schroder. Such a talented young player.

[Dynamix]

Second unit did a decent job getting the lead, but we need CP & friends to seal the deal.

[Ranma]

DJ is killing us from the line. When is this idiot going to put some arc on his shots? Geez, you might as well try the shots right-handed at this point. The team itself is responsible for putting itself in this position with the lack of execution and intensity. Give credit to the Hawks as they didn't give up while we caved.

First unit played really sloppy and this one is most likely lost. Very rough night after that first quarter.

Remember before he had too much arc and would air ball and get a ton of front rim. The reduced arc shot has been more accurate, but it does need just a little bit more arc

Fair enough but he should have perfected a middle-ground by now given how much practice he supposedly puts into that part of his craft.
