Consistently mock fans who are nervous and concerned about their team and pretend to be better than those fans by bragging about how they aren't worried.

Little dose of reality.
Little dose of humility as well today.

Mike Malone was the better coach tonight, make no mistake about it. I thought they were on the same tier but damn dude. all he had to do was put zubac in the third.

a playoff meltdown when we were a win from conference finals and had a big lead in game 5. Does that sound familiar ?

Worst coach in sports. He NEVER learns from past mistakes, NEVER. I'd honestly rather the Clippers lose this series and fire Doc at this point than get swept by the Lakers.

Still hoping for a miracle.

Meh. Same old bleat. :roll: The Nugs got back into it by hitting 3 after 3 after 3, and then we missed ours. Whoever was playing center had nothing to do with it.

The Nugs went out and won this one. You tip your hat and move on.

Lou wasn't the problem. Bringing him back make no sense. But the bigger problem was not solving the 3rd quarter and letting trezz get all that burn.

We didn't have the rebounding man. Tough loss but we have to be better next game.

Imagine being this much of an apologist for the worst coach in sports. Doc is about to add a THIRD blown 3-1 lead to his resume and you're still defending him.

Actual Clipper fans deserve better.

You just know the Lakers are going to win in a blowout tomorrow too, just to make this sting even more.

we made that stupid boy porter look like an allstar. This was a disgusting loss, and being a Clipper fan, I'm not enthusiastic about game 6 or 7.

I have to agree with you. the team played well. The team did well. the effort was there. The rotations and substutions were bad. He gets carried away with trezz. If this isn't corrected, there's no way we can win the conference finals or finals. He needs to get off trezz This is an easy win if zubac played more.

I'm still confident we can win this series. I'm just afraid of the implications for the next series and beyond.

I've been saying it all season. Same Lob City coach, same Lob City results. Allowing Doc to ruin another window of contention was the definition of insanity.

We are going to close this series out. However, giving up 38 pts in the 4th quarter when we have been locking down in the 2nd half is just unacceptable.
