That was both Ibaka and Batum's fault. Ibaka has to know he can't hold the ball that long without seeing the defender, but Batum had to relocate to get the defender (Harden) out of the area

Why is Kyrie allowed to reach in so much??? Lol

Clippers need to clean up the turnovers in the second half, that was primarily what killed them offensively in the first half. Brooklyn is hard enough to contain, you might have to out-offense them, and it's not going to happen with that many turnovers.

Need more from Lou and Sr in the 2nd half otherwise we stand no chance.

The moments a playmaker that could play defense would really really help

I don't expect much from Lou, unfortunately, since it's a playoff-style game against a good team.

Leonard with only 1 touch since returning.

Batum has crashed back to earth hard.

Yes, both Batum and Ibaka were scoreless until about 3 minutes to go in the half. Senior still scoreless and Lou with only one bucket. And that's the name of that tune. 7 points from 4 of your top 6 ain't gonna get it done.

Still only down 7 at halftime--could be and should be worse. Things can only get better from here, right??

This team can play so dumb.

Ibaka with nothing. Batum not much better. Lou a no show. Jackson on Harden is not an answer ever. Morris too quiet too.

Leonard starts off hot getting whatever he wanted then the team went on to ignore him. A few attacks and no calls and a few rushed shots.

George picked up some scoring but too many sloppy turnovers.

Ibaka and Mann could use a few more minutes for sure.

Don't forget DJ playing better than Ibaka and Zu combined yet again

We can climb back but it’s going to be tough

Stop using Paul George like a playmaker

MartinToVaught · Post #32 » by **MartinToVaught** » Mon Feb 22, 2021 2:31 am

Hate to say it, but these turnovers and missed free throws are vintage Playoff P.

KL2 · Post #33 » by **KL2** » Mon Feb 22, 2021 2:31 am

Leonard a spectator on offense should be a crime.

Batum with mental lapse after another.

Too many guys struggling and trying to force it.

Would be nice if there was a solid and consistent alternative. PG is turnover prone in the playmaker role though, certainly.

Okay, okay, this is a start

Good job going inside on this smaller lineup

Just really hard to have any confidence in this team when they failed miserably in the playoffs last year and then play like this in the spotlight when everyone's watching.

Clemenza · Post #37 » by **Clemenza** » Mon Feb 22, 2021 2:36 am

How many buckets are we going to give up to Brown?

I hear you, quite understandable ,the trust has to be earned essentially

As many as his teammates create for him

What's up with Lou and Morris in this game? This game has been all PG & Kawhi since the opening tip
