Just wanted to say that Tyrone Wallace deserves starting role over Teodosic when I saw preview but then when got into the live stream saw that Dok read my mind.

BTW

Longest time before a team scored in an NBA game is....

Lakers up 29-0 against the Kings in 87... they finally score off FTs with 2:54 left in the first

I should have kept my mouth shut.

They need to lock him up for the next several years. He deserves a real contract for sure. Kid has played well

Because Teodosic let down my, yet low, expectations , I changed my avatar.

Nice to see our team taking care of business.

Wow... this second-half "effort" is pretty weak so far. I'm actually starting to get a little concerned here.

Pretty pathetic that we went from starting 31-5 to giving up 117 points and sweating out a win. Our defense is completely broken.

Yah, didn't think there would be a "rookie wall" at age 30 but Milos is struggling on D. His offensive numbers are OK, though--in 6 games this month he's shooting 41.2%/41.7%. I wouldn't be too down on him just yet. We knew going in that the D was going to be a problem on nights you can't find a place to hide him. So yeah, a good sub but I don't think he's a starter on a championship team.

Good win tonight though it's hard to get too high on beating PHX. But though we pissed away half of the 20+pt lead, the outcome was never really in question.

Milos just has to calm down and play within himself. He's an elite level catch and shoot guy but sometimes he tries to take 3's off the bounce, or tries to create plays off the bounce that he flat out doesn't have the ability to do.

Read on Twitter

Imagine saying a shooter this good is only getting run because of his dad. Just imagine how crazy you sound sticking to that :lol:

if his dad never gave life to him he never would have had a chance in the nba

ok?

I have to admit--and have already done so previously a while back--that Austin Rivers was one of the few feathers in Doc's cap as personnel executive with J.J. Redick being the other notable plume brillante. I had issues with giving up Reggie Bullock at the time for a guy literally close to being out of the league, but it's been thoroughly obvious that Junior Rivers has been the more useful and valuable NBA player, so nepotism paid off in this instance.

I even said that Doc was one of the few guys that I thought would be capable of reaching Austin when the trade was made. At the same time, Doc gave his son more chances and playing time to develop than all of his draft picks combined. However, that still doesn't mean that I don't want him and his dad off the team in exchange for better or even similar alternatives.

I see no one's mentioned this yet, probably because Gallo being injured hasn't been news since he first touched a basketball.

Clippers' Danilo Gallinari sits out with bruised right hand

"The first X-ray says nothing is broken," he told reporters. "That's a good thing. But we're going to do more exam tomorrow when we come back to L.A. I'm going to see the hand doctor. I'm going to do everything.

"It got worse last night. It's just bad. This morning I was trying to brush my teeth and I couldn't. That's where I'm at right now."

Doesn't sound great. Same hand he injured punching a player during a pre-Euro Cup exhibition. With his/our luck he might miss another month or so. Sad thing is he was actually solid lately, and even before the Blake trade. You know, in those couple of games he got to play before breaking his ass.

It's absolutely crazy that we've been down 2-3 starters for almost the entire season.

the team has done an incredible job this season keeping it together, all things considered.

Just because Austin can make threes off the dribble doesn't change the fact that he's selfish, a poor defender, and a negative-impact player. He would not get the unlimited minutes, touches, patience and excuses he currently enjoys on any other team in the league.

Just because you post a lot doesn't mean you bring any sort of insight whatsoever.
