Lead or no lead, this team is playing insanely stupid basketball right now. It might work against the tanking Raptors, but it won't work in the playoffs.

Kawhi has attempted 6 shots in the game and 6 FT's in 28 minutes. He's not played particularly aggressive, but the Raptors have sent defenders to get the ball out of his hands also. If the Clippers had gotten a more aggressive Kawhi, that would likely help.

The turnovers have also been a problem, Rondo hasn't had the best ball protection game, in fact, it's been pretty bad.

Rondo and Cousins don't have it tonight, not like the Denver game

The turnovers are the issue. Kawhi has virtually the same amount of points as our other 3 top scorers. He's not the issue whatsoever.

Huh? Cousins has been fine, we have no other options anyway with Zu doing nothing offensively and no other options unlike last year.

Rondo's been really bad but at least he's playing defense. TMann would have better this game smh

When you watch this team, it honestly looks like they hate playing basketball. Only person, i see that puts out maximum effort is Mann. The fact that he doesnt play more is a stupid

Is Ibaka ever actually going to play again or just take up cap space for the season? We really could have used him tonight. So far, he's looking like yet another bad signing by our "genius" front office.

Defense have you ever heard of it ?

Two games in a row the clippers lose the lead and difference while Zu is on the bench

Cousins defense is not there, he's made some nice plays in terms of finishing, but the defense and turnovers haven't been so good for him in this one. Rondo has done well defensively, made some nice passes, but the 6 turnovers (only really count 5 since one was turned right back over) have been problematic.

RingColluder · Post #76 » by **RingColluder** » Wed May 5, 2021 4:16 am

If we had a. starting PG who could get 12 assists (and 24 pts like Van Vleet) all'd we need is Kawhi and filler and we'd be set.

So you'd put in Zu then?

As you just told me:

Offense have you heard of it?

and once again: MORRIS SAVES THE DAY.

The guy is injured, you really coming at him for getting injured? Not sure how it is a front office blunder to not predict future injury of a player who isn't particularly injury prone :lol:

And he's done some fantastic rebounding and offense for us in limited minutes. He's not the issue, especially with no other options. We cannot logically play Zu w some of these lineups we have where the offense is such an enormous issue.

Kawhi can't play like this. He's not helping at all. ball stopper.
