Get used to this guys. This is what our team is going to look like for the next 4-6 weeks.

No point regurgitating the same old non-sense. Really need to see what Rose is going to do in the offseason because this coach and personnel just ain’t it.

liked what I saw from bridges was a plus

KAT/OG/Deuce shot a combined 14 for 49 from the field...ooof

Precious and Hart did what they do.

The Payne/Shamet duo is rough.

Needed better offensive execution from Deuce and OG.

Could have won if they could put the ball in the basket.

Combined:

6-28 FG (21.4%)

4-17 3PT (23.5%)

Overall, offense was aimless with no real plan or plays.

When your two wings are so awful from three they don’t even want to try, you have zero chance to win a game in the modern NBA. I appreciate Hart’s efforts and Bridges’ occasional fast break game but they simply are not starter material. We should start looking at alternatives in the offseason

Offense was putrid without someone orchestrating. It was like guys didn't know what to do.
Might be worthwhile to give Kolek a shot

Hart does not fit with OG and Bridges. It’s clunky.

KAT is clearly hobbled by the knee. Should be resting for the playoffs but you know how it goes with Thibs.

We’ll hobble into the playoffs once again with a predictable offense and Brunson hero ball may save the day in the first round but it may not. Definitely not getting past round two with Thibs at the helm.

Start planning for next season. Johnnie Bryant or Hurley… then go after Giannis or KD with KAT. Send Hart to the bench for a 22 minute energy role. The window is still open.

I will say that Hart is a mental midget. Dude had a wide
open 3 in the corner and refused to shoot it. Whenever he does this, it allows the defense to reset.

Teams can put their worst defender on him, and put a smaller wing on Kat. Hart should be coming off the bench going forward but Thibs doesn’t have the balls to do that.

Deuce is not a PG so he really needs to shoot better.

Kolek is the only basketball brain left on the team

Unfortunately, Thibs has done this to him

He can’t even do that consistently. Him, Mikal and OG all have just regressed this year. While some of the blame is on the players, a lot of it has to do with Thibs not running plays and schemes to put them in a better position to succeed. Like Duece is not a point guard, so why the hell would you start him as one.

I honestly feel this team would be so much better if someone like Reddick was the coach.

We're talking about the same guy who started Burks at PG.....

The one positive that I will take from that game is it didn't look like Mikal's confidence is completely shattered. I was a little worried about him after seeing how quickly he wanted to get rid of the ball against the Lakers. The Clippers are one of the best defensive teams and he performed better than I expected with more offensive responsibility. He still needs to work on that above the break 3 to give him more options offensively. He had a few more turnovers than I would like but Dunn and the Clippers do that to a lot of players.
