Terrible time for injuries, hopefully it is not something that will linger.

Isn't it obvious that Blake has lost his explosiveness? He is only 28 but it's sad seeim him go for pump fakes and soft layups innstead of those dunks during the VDN era. I really miss him switching with his left hand on the fly to dunk the ball.

Also, does anyone else think Don MacLean sounds like a pompous douche?

Oh he definitely has, even when he has big dunks these days he does not get up the same way he used to. It's possible that he can still get up similarly, but it looks like he's lost his quick bounce.

Your coach shouldn't lose games for you. What were the starters resting for? Their next game is Wednesday, you need to win this game, why would you even take a chance?

Watched most of the game, but I tuned out midway through the 4th, when we were up about 14. Checked the box score just now and I honestly thought it was a bug at first. Then I saw the play by play.

Absolutely disgusting, there is literally no excuse for this loss. I don't care if we had 5 random fans on the court, this should not have happened.

Whatever, just one more dumb loss. See you guys in the playoffs, since the regular season doesn't seem to matter any more.

you are up by 1, you have to ball, and Crawford takes the shot with 11 seconds on the game clock, 5 (FIVE) seconds on the shot clock.
WHY??!?!?!
Kings have no time outs. If we had taken the shot with one second left, they'd have 5 to 6 seconds at most to make a play after rebounding the ball. You almost double their time.

I wonder what will Doc's excuse now?

Don't worry guys, I'm sure the playoffs will be easier than trying to seal a win against a lottery team being 94-76 up in the 4th.

Anyone else ever want to just knock Doc on the head when he's speaking in some post-game interviews? Yes, your stupid decision to try and have the bench take you home when we've seen all season that the bench sucks is a big reason why you lost the game. Not "probably", but definitely. Why are you trying to rest your starters right now? What was an extra 5, 6, 7 minutes of rest tonight going to change for the future? Can someone enlighten me?

Surely we're tanking for 6th at this point, right?

nickhx2 · Post #17 » by **nickhx2** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 1:06 am

just really not sure where it's all going wrong. i mean i know playing paul pierce is a losing proposition and jamal being dumb is one thing, but it sure feels like there's more going on than that.

really sad that this team looks like it's gonna be stumbling into the playoffs when we actually have pretty good opportunity to do some big things.

Doc definitely mismanaged the game but this loss was also due to bad luck. Almost everything that could go wrong did go wrong for the clippers and the opposite for the kings from the 5 minute mark of the 4th quarter. Crawford and cp3's shots were very close to going in. What an awful loss

Post #19 » by **og15** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 2:16 am

True, but you prevent luck from causing loses by making good decisions such as not being so focused on rest where you allow this to happen.

Blow it up. Everybody is scared of a rebuild but these players hearts pump kool aid. And of course Doc needs to head to Orlando right now
