Blake should've just quickly taken the 3 himself after rushing the ball up-court from inbound... His 3% seems to be pretty good in clutch end-game situations. Still probably wouldn't have been enough, but it would've been a lot less embarrassing than that ridiculously clueless finish.

Gallaway was the first one to get the ball and was just as clueless on what to do, that Reggie's fault too? You can keep living in the everything is Jackson's fault world but at some point logic has to kick in and you have to realize your coach has done absolutely nothing to put anyone in a position to succeed.
Yeah we lost because of our coach. SVG was a better coach. But Casey blew Blake up. SVG didn't know how to use Blake. Issue now is this isn't Casey's team. They need to retool.
I agree with your last sentence. This isn't Casey's team, we need to retool. I don't think our FO is competent enough to do that. They might do worst than SVG/Bower did.

No that wasn't Jackson. That was Galloway not shooting after Blake gave it to him. Either shoot it or dribble to the right. You don't pass it left where all the players are. Casey should've made a play for them there. Should've called it on the last timeout. Have the play memorized.

He cleared space up for Galloway and Galloway didn't take it. It would've been a far shot but I wanted Galloway to take it.

How exactly did SVG not know how to use Blake? It was SVG that came up with the brilliant idea of having Blake initiate the offense and be more of a player maker- Casey just saw that it worked and said "Hey, maybe I should do that". Only difference this year is both Blake and Ish have been better outside shooters- I put that on player's work ethic, not crediting Casey for it.
SVG understood Drummond's limitations and got him to buy into doing what he does best- defending, rebounding, diving to the rim, clean up buckets. Casey has put handcuffs on Drummond defensively and makes him create his own offense out of the post pretty much exclusively....how many PnRs do you see Drummond in throughout a game? Please name one center in the league today that's more setup for the PnR game than Drummond?
Roster is absolutely flawed, no one can debate that but SVG would absolutely be getting more out of it.

Even if you don't take a timeout....sometimes you wont have them available, there should be a couple of go-to plays that everyone knows to easily get whatever look they want out of it. It looked pretty clear to me that we're almost in February and the team has nothing.

Because it's his roster. Issue is SVG never had a point guard. Reggie is healthy this year so far which is nice because hopefully we can trade him. I'm not gonna sit and argue for SVG, he was disappointing for sure. I don't think Casey is any better. But different coaches, same roster, same results. Tells me it's the roster not the coaches.

I would disagree a little bit because when Jackson has been healthy the past couple of years, this team has been a playoff team. 2016 playoff team, 2017 Reggie was never healthy, 2018 team was looking good until Jackson went down and then it was a total collapse. Jackson has been healthy this year but Casey isnt competent to do anything with him at all.

I've seen countless picks from drummond that jackson hasn't taken. You know how many times I've seen him take the pick and dribble dribble dribble back to the 3 pt line and pass out to Blake. That's what killed Jackson's game. He doesn't have his legs anymore. He's also a loser.

At least Bruce Brown is getting better.

My takeaways after watching the replay
-If Stanley Johnson doesn’t shoot we win that game. I cringed every time he chucked. Bruce has passed him by, purely by knowing his limitations.
-Galloway not understanding the urgency to shoot the ball at the end there was some of the dumbest **** I ever did see. Even more so coming from a guy that will happily throw up an off balanced, one legged, contested 3 pointer 4 seconds into the shot clock.
-Our best shooter Luke had less shots than Stanley? Cool, cool, cool, cool
-Reggie actually played a good facilitator game
-Watching Jordan’s aggressiveness on one end, dunking on fools (like Dre) and then watching Drummond up the other end going soft as hell and getting served by the German not named Dirk..... shame, shame, shame! Take that boy for a walk
In closing poor Blake, what a beast. Why did the clippers trade him?

this team has too many mental midgets and scared players. this team needs a retool like none other.
