He definitely has more to offer but right now the Clippers just need him to score. I'm at the game and he's been very active on defense, got a couple of steals, boxes out well and quietly does a lot of little things that don't show in the boxscore. Like I said, seeing him in person, the kid is really impressive



BB's seeing the whole floor but BOS is on a West Coast swing, a bit bleary-eyed after getting smoked by the Lakers and now in slow motion. Not to take anything away from BB. He crushing it, obviously the best player on the floor tonight.

Okay, dude. Trashing every young player we draft even when they have success won't change the reality that Doc was a horrible GM. :crazy:

so i think maybe the niftiest thing about boston, and it's a corollary of what i said earlier in that he just seems to be in the right place at the right time on defense, is that he does that too but on offense.

lots of guys, they're just way too close to the paint or somewhere they shouldn't be, clogging up the lane for everybody else. but boston seems to really good recognizing the primary action and knowing he needs to be spacing out to the three point line to stretch the defense and give options. and if you look, he's OPEN, like a LOT. sure, plenty of that's boston's failure to guard him, but that speaks to his ability to make positive, space-impacting plays.

not sure what this team's thinking. not sure why lue waited so long to call timeout, either. totally sloppy and you could tell they were out of sorts and being lazy.

Morris is already #1 on the list of players who need to be traded and Reggie is doing everything he can to climb the list.

Five minutes without a made basket and the shot selection keeps getting worse. Unacceptable and it happens damn near every game. Where is the coaching, where is the accountability?

These refs are not even trying to hide the fact they're trying to keep Boston in this game

Wedgie Jackson was an absolute momentum killer for us in that 3rd. Bledsoe and Hart doing their part to weather the storm.

ok lately i haven't been complaining about lue's lineups but there's no reason bledsoe should be on the court at the same time as reggie in the 4th.

Lue finally came to his senses and put Boston in the rotation. Now he needs to find spot minutes for Johnson. His offense is not as far as Boston but it’s coming along. But his energy and defensive intensity/instincts should get him some minutes.

Return to Los Angeles Clippers
