Hopefully we win tonight and stop our 3 game losing streak. We're a few games out of the 8th spot and don't have much room for error.

Yup, if the previous three games weren't a must win, this one definitely is. And it's probably the easiest matchup of the four, which is saying a lot, cause these guys are still pretty damn good. Let's go Clips!

I really wish Gallinari was back. I thought the timeline of the injury was for him to be back around now

I believe everybody expects our training staff to get it wrong at this point.

If we’re going to rebuild this team starting with the Blake trade and 2 1st round picks, we need to invest in a training staff that can help these players take care of their body.

Tough game, really rough one for Harrell too. Austin was just awful. Kilpatrick kept getting beat in the third, even though he did make it up on offense through the game. I'm not mad at not making the playoffs. The ideal is continuing to fight, miss the playoffs and then the Clippers pick goes into the top 3, while the Pistons stays put. That would be amazing.

Tough 2nd half for us and it results in our 4th straight loss. I was watching Penn State beat Marquette so I didn't watch much of the 1st half.

The schedule just got too hard and is not easing up. Rockets, Thunder, Blazers, those were not expected wins, then Minnesota is the worst team on the schedule, but Clippers just couldn't bring it. With the Pacers, Raptors, and Bucks coming up, it isn't getting easier.

Austin Rivers' stat line tonight: 11 points on 4-14 shooting. One assist. -20. Still led the team with 35 minutes.

Anyone still want to argue that Doc is a great coach and nepotism isn't the only reason Austin is on our team?

vulturing
I said this board would get unreadable when we hit this stretch in the schedule, LOL

Tobias was 5-16
Milos was minus-14 in only 22 minutes
DJ despite 18 and 12 was minus-16
Lou was minus-14

it was a team loss
they were a step ahead of us all night
T-Wolves had 4 guys score 20+

finger-pointing is chickenspit

If pointing out that the worst Clippers player on the court by far was also the one who played the most minutes is "vulturing," so be it.

Translation: you knew Austin was going to get exposed against tougher competition and you were dreading the criticism.

No facts, just jaundiced opinion. They all got exposed. Finger-pointing is just opportunistic. When the team as a whole is getting skunked, the one with the most minutes is gonna have the worst plus/minus. Duh.
