No Butler is huge. Clips need to capitalize.

Are we sure the Timberwolves didn't dress prime LeBron in a Wiggins jersey for this one? :banghead:

On a happier note, Blake is beasting tonight. Officially on triple-double watch.

This officiating is complete and utter garbage.

We're just completely imploding right now, and as bad as the officiating has been, I'm really disappointed in the return of the CP3-era whining tonight. I thought we were past that.

That winning streak was fun, but it sure looks like we're regressing to the mean. Hopefully people can stop pretending Doc is a good coach now just because we fluked out a few wins in spite of him.

That was a rough one. Too much whining, Blake's double dribble choke, can't grab rebounds. It was a great game to Trent advantage with no Butler and with Towns disappearing as a scorer. Ah well...when you let Wiggins and Teague kill you, you can't complain about losing.

Glad to see you guys are sick of all the whining....man it felt like old times tonight, though I don't remember many techs being called against the Clips before, at least not when you played Minnesota anyways.

Forget the personalities, and forget Doc. Although a hero for 3 quarters, Blake is not a Prime Time Player. :oops: That's why Chris left, in no small part because Chris isn't one either.

That end of the game was ugly to watch, Lou playing hero ball, Blake trying to do more than he's able to (again) and turning it over repeatedly, even Milos was chucking terrible shots. Ugh

Yea, just a whole lot of low IQ stuff happening altogether, sometimes players have those moments, just don't want to have them too often.

I was hoping that we could win this game since Butler was out................... guess that wasn't going to happen. Maybe being short handed is catching up to us. I enjoyed us winning, hopefully we can get back to that soon.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

They definitely made enough mistakes to lose but I also thought the officiating was quite poor

How does our franchise player manage to commit TWO turnovers with 14 seconds left on the clock??
