Not so much this game, but we seem to do the hard work and build leads (I think we got to 9 this game) but then plummet on both ends. We gave up too many And 1's by committing soft fouls. Not sure if it's fatigue or laziness but some of our Turnovers are from passes which are never even given a chance.

I don't live in LA, I don't even live in USA, so I don't really know what's going on daily in the franchise. My question is, do you think that will be a change in this team soon? Or are we going to repeat the same season again? Man, I even miss Vinny Del Negro.

No, no one misses VDN, that's just dumb. VDN wouldn't even play DJ more than 25 or 26 mpg and the team led the league in percentage of possessions that were isolations when he was the coach, no to mention their gimmick hard trap / force turnovers defense that tanked towards the end of the season and didn't work against any good teams.
Who knows if there will be changes, we'll see...

Imagine if we would of got Dwayne Casey instead of Vinny back when they were the last two for coaching. Doc is just looking like the worse option for this team no team accountability and he amplified all their negative traits from a bbiq stand point.
Team doesn't need someone complaining throwing tantrums with them the needed a coach who could tough love enforce discipline.

On top of all that the GM has been terrible constantly signing guys to plug into a system that contradicts their skill set. Putting a priority on one way system players with no athleticism and limiting a offense that has circled around jump shots and caps the monster athlete in Blake.
Doc needs to go!

Well I don't know if people would have raved about Casey, it seems like it took him a while to settle into where he is as a coach and he improved along the way. Not sure how patient people would have been with him, so who knows. There were a lot of complaints about him by Raptors fans earlier, but coaches aren't static, young coaches improve, and as his team has also gotten better, his coaching has also grown.
Is Blake really being capped though, or is he the one that has actually capped himself? Or maybe with his short arms and improved but still not elite shooting, this is his average season play on a good team? Blake has as much freedom as he wants in the offense, he gets to decide what he wants to do, and if he makes decisions we don't like, we can't really just blame the coaching for that.

Re: Game 28: Los Angeles Clippers (20-7) @ Washington Wizards (11-14) - 3:30 PM ET
his use of Austin late in games and taking jj out is just unbelievable. Austin gets the ball in the corner and lets the guy just take it then passes down court to an open beal for 3. game over. he can make a quick step to the basket for a layup and that's it. you can not count how many mistakes he made on defense. between him and doc the gave up 3pts on techs alone. I have had it with both of them. jj gets in to the 4th with just 4 minutes let. that is just not right. you tell me is Austin and jamal a better option than jj???

I was able to catch the end of the game when the Wizards tied us up. Crazy to think I was in DC earlier today and the Clippers were playing the Wizards. Not sure what's up with us letting teams back in.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Re: Game 28: Los Angeles Clippers (20-7) @ Washington Wizards (11-14) - 3:30 PM ET
I'm just watching the highlights on NBA-TV.
Why did Rivers get the technicals? All they showed is Morris shooting over Rivers and making a key basket down the stretch and then technicals were called on the Rivers?
Seemed like a straightforward play, though why Austin is guarding by himself a forward who's much bigger than him just 10 feet from the basket is an interesting question.

Redick should play more. I guess the minutes restriction is due to his age and injury history?
Austin has been playing well, but he is playing too many minutes out of position. Crawford plays too much period.
Anderson, bass, and Johnson are getting the short end of the stick. All are seasoned vets and actually have proper positions. I understand Doc has a challenging job with all of these options off the bench, but he is going way too small

Wall / Morris pick and roll, Blake initiates the switch, Blake on Wall, Austin on Morris and Morris goes straight to the post.wco81 wrote:I'm just watching the highlights on NBA-TV.

Re: Game 28: Los Angeles Clippers (20-7) @ Washington Wizards (11-14) - 3:30 PM ET
Ok, makes sense and I heard Beal was hot from 3-point range so I can understand not doubling to give up a 3.
But they made it seem like the Rivers' technicals came as a direct result or right after that play? There was no foul called so were they complaining about an offensive foul that should have been called?

Is Luc on minutes restrictions?
Luc defending Wall and switching onto Morris may have produced better results than Austin.
Also Jamal putting up more TO's than Assists is not acceptable in 28 minutes.

I think he was upset about a no call against redick on the play before. DJ ended up missing 2 FT instead. Redick was very angry. At first I thought the techs were on JJ.
Can't blame this game on refs at all. Extremely bad 4th quarter d and poor offensive execution down the stretch were why the clippers lost

I have to agree not refs. the coaching is just not good. wrong players in at wrong time. it appears doc is going to try and make Austin an nba player no matter what everyone else thinks. if balmer can not see this happening then he should not be an nba owner. now I guess Austin will be the new pf while blake is out.
