Wow that’s bad

Of course Lue goes back to the same moronic rotations. Each game solidifies more and more that Atkinson was the real coach last year and Lue just rode his coattails like he previously did with LeBron.

Only going to get so many chances

Another overall pathetic performance. Although it's the Kings so you never know till the end.

We're arguably the worst team in the league right now, so not much room to be looking down our noses at the Kings.

Can't put this on your 20-year-old 2nd-round G-leaguer. [BTW--he's already got more minutes than any other bench player. :wink:

]

Ty has to find some combinations that work. He's playing a garbage hand. At least Zu is having a decent game. Senior is still ass and so is Bled. Fan favorite T-Mann is ass. Luke is back to ass. Ibaka is semi-ass.

If Ty can't get these guys going, we're fcked without a doubt.

Time to play the new youngsters for better or worse because the team will need them to step up next season. No point driving George into the ground playing hero ball, just limit his minutes to save him for next season when Leonard gets back. The rest of the team, minus Batum, should be on the trading block this summer.

So they went from being sass to ass.

Hartenstein-Mann-Kennard in with Keon and Scrubb just made a small run. H-M-K would replace the Lou & Trezz Show but have lost their mojo over the last 6 games--after tonight's minus-12 sinking into a net minus.

But Ty HAS to get them going.

Wow. Our vets just sucks.

It’s amazing what a little energy can do to a team. Boston and Johnson mostly with a little Scrubb late. Lue is too stubborn to give those guys minutes though. He’d rather watch the old, slow, and uninspired drag this team down.

Hartenstein always brings energy. Kennard and Mann stepped theirs up after watching Boston and Johnson. Don’t underestimate what energy can bring. It’s infectious. We just got a big fat lesson on that type of play from the Kings tonight.

We’re about to get another b2b whooping by the Lakers/Kings this weekend.

MMSr 2pts 1-9 shooting. On a night we so badly need him to contribute something. Him and Ibaka join a long list of washed veterans we have signed in the past that never work out.

At least the youngsters showed promises. Keon Johnson looks like he could be a nice 3 and D guy.

Roscoe Sheed · Post #35 » by **Roscoe Sheed** » Thu Dec 2, 2021 6:17 am

Maybe it's because I only follow the Clippers closely, but it seems like teams have more random hot shooting nights against the Clippers than any other team.

Gotta have Kawhi and PG on the court playing for guys like Morris, Zu, Reggie, and Bledsoe to look competent otherwise they need to sit, especially Morris. Good to see the youth get some run. Boston is the truth and Keon and Scrubb has nice upside as well. Hart is better than Zu. For right now in reality it would be nice to have the older guys play less and put the youth with PG, Batum, and Serge but I doubt that will happen. Boston definitely should be in the rotation from here on out.

Enough with the hyperbole. This team is not great but can easily make the play-in game.

I actually have great confidence in our ability to beat the Fakers on Friday. If we can't beat them without LeBron, I truly might throw in the towel on this season.

I never pretend to know more than the coach. I work backward from what I see, to try to understand their thinking. Kawhi IS coming back--THIS year. We are NOT going to win a championship on a rookie's back.

Ty's job is to get the veterans together for a playoff seed and then a playoff run. Reggie is again outplaying his contract [17 ppg], Batum is fine and whatever Ibaka does is a bonus.

By "veterans" I mean:

Luke [25]
T-Mann [25]
Zu [24]
Hartenstein [23]

plus of course we have Senior [32] sucking up $16M.

Those 5. I like the kids, but let's be serious here. If these 5 guys don't get it together, forget the rest.

Certainly why Ty held PG out tonight. Losing without Batum and PG [and of course Kawhi] means nothing.

But if you're going to throw in the towel on the season in the first week of December, well, goodbye and good luck, Clipper "fan." We have enough weak takes and douchebaggery of our own here on this board already without you adding to it. :lol:
