that's what i usually do but i click the links in the play by play.

https://stats.nba.com/game/0021800103/playbyplay/

the alley oop is available but many plays from the first quarter (where i marked down grant / gallo screens) are not. what a bummer.

Weird. Looks like something's wrong with the 1st half. Can't view any of Gallinari's baskets.

Hes got the ability to get to spot A to spot B in a hurry and has had Robes teaching him the whole way.

Defensive rotations and help seem to be improving throughout the team

I missed the third quarter, did we stop over playing the passing Lanes like we had been in the first half? I thought that was by far the most glaring coaching problem through the first two quarters. There were multiple times that Adams was trying to deny Gortat the ball 20 feet from the basket. He was over playing so badly that he was out of position to deny dribble penetration and too far from the basket to contest at the rim.

I've been actively ignoring you. Just wanted to point that out so GROD didn't go on a rant.


he's entitled to his opinions and his rants just like you or i are.

lets all not be so elitist in our viewpoints that we refuse to even acknowledge other people who don't share them

the biggest part of 3q defense was the refs not calling a lot of contact they were calling in 1h. lots of bumping and hands going on that were played through.

Just watched it, clippers really stopped moving the ball and mucked up their spacing as well. Those traps started working because guys were going one on one and then running into they're teammate's area of the court.

Ferguson was so active. He was had a spring in his step that I don't think I've seen from him except maybe that Laker game. If he can get himself involved and ramped up on the defensive end then the offensive stuff can come in time.

Anyone have that gif of Adams setting the screen on Beverly in the playoffs two years ago?

At the 1:21 mark of the first quarter DS and Russ where in the game together. DS handled the ball and russ stood at the top of the key with his hands on his knees the whole time. It would be interesting if we would attempt to run an actual play with russ at the two.

No one mentioned that Michael cage said things were getting “contagious” between Beverly and Westbrook.
