Game 54: Los Angeles Clippers (37-16) @ Philadelphia Sixers (33-21) - 7:00 PM ET

[TheNewEra]

Who else was going to play PG? I rather have Lou/sham than mcgruder see any mins. We don't have a choice.

Shamet should have started this game. Lou should never play 36 minutes.

Can’t even get mad at Doc for that one he clearly doesn’t have a go to starting guard in case of injury. Was hoping we would of got a buyout over the weekend but you just don’t know how guys will react.

I disagree. Shamet started the night we got blown out. You really think it was going to help tonight? That's why he changed it. Sixers have size in their starting lineup.. it's not a bad coaching decision.

If I recall correctly, we've won one game all year when Lou starts. I'd rather take my chances with Shamet since he's the better player at this point anyway.

Yup I agree. I can't really blame this loss on Lou. It's not like they were seeking him out or whatnot. At least it didn't look like that to me.

Our guys missed shots. In the case of PG, uncontested shots . I don't even remember Lou will putting up 15 shots. Looked like he put up 8 to me but I remember he kept trying to foul bait and missed those.

We lost when shamet started too. I think he has had like two starts and we lost them both.

Shamet usually struggles as the primary ball handler when with Kawhi/PG/forward/Zubac. He came in aggressive tonight

[Yogatti]

nice try Nippy. Shamet fits better with Kawhi-PG and the starting line up with his off ball movement and three point shooting. With Lou you get

1. no defense
2. no passing
3. tunnel vision/only initiats pnr with Trezz while the rest of the guys rarely get involved on offense

I've noticed that...whatever the case may be, Lou is struggling but he's not the superstar. If anyone should catch heat for not showing up, it's Paul George.

Played soft tonight. The refs absolutely sucked ass tonight but Leonard played through it. PG was more visibly upset and frustrated.

I can see your viewpoint but I can also see why doc changed it based of us getting our asses reamed by Minny

I refuse to believe this is the real Paul George tonight. This is what he did to the 76ers a year ago....

Watch on YouTube

His hamstring must be bothering him or something

[Clemenza]

My fears about our center position showed up tonight. I'm concerned moving forward about that position. It's a problem when a big can bully both centers. Zu did a great job on the first half but waned in the second which is probably why doc doesn't give him the trust to play big mins as estvd suggested

Embiid is one of the best in the game at the center position so yeah they should win on that front but Lou and PG can't get shutdown like they did and not contribute on offense with their bad shooting. Especially PG.. he's got to show up in some of these big games. Don't be surprised if Morris moves into the number two spot on offense.

The refs were bad, but PG shouldn't be blaming them when he was the #1 reason we lost.

If Marcus morris moves into the second option, we're not winning a championship.

But yeah I agree, he has to show up. Lou should straight up play basketball, baited shots too much which gave up possessions and transition points.

Our centers did the best they could but come playoffs time, I hope they can hold their weight.


I liked the way the game was going for three quarters. Down four to open up the fourth. Had a chance despite everyone but shamet, kawhi and Morris playing bad.

Zubac gets as many minutes as he earns. He got 20 tonight. He played well. Harrell did OK too despite a bad matchup night for him. Our discount centers were playing against $55 MILLION worth of horseflesh out there in Embiid and Horford, LOL. Embiid got his numbers but still only finished at plus+1. Only on Planet Zubac was center the key factor--or even a key factor---in tonight's game.

What really happened was Tobias had a good first half then Josh Richardson went off for 17 points in the 4th quarter. And Ben Simmons had yet another triple double. For us, PG shot 3-15 and J-Myke didn't even put up a shot in 12 minutes.

And we miss Pat Bev badly. A big hurry back to our heart and soul.

Shamet played 36mins tonight. Holy hell, he played starter mins. It Sure didn't feel like it though. Felt like he played 20mins.

I hate that about PG. He always looks for outs. Just accept you didn't play well, PG. It's ok happens to the best of them. Come out and play better next time.

I always bring this up he threw cj Miles under the bus for taking the last shot and bricking it. Only for him to take the last shot later in the series and brick it.

I thought since that was in Indy, it happened a long time ago he's grown since then and I think he has, but there's a part of me that think he's not built like a winner , doesn't have the mindset of a killer but I think playing with Leonard as we go deep into the season and the playoffs will get him to stop whining and just play. Show him what it takes to win
