Cut it to 4 just to be down 11 in a blink.

If no one else steps up to help Leonard, Zu, and Harden then it’s over. Especially when that bench comes in.

PG having only 5 points in unacceptable. He's been great mostly but you cant be either amazing or awful.

Lues rotations are the worst in the league. Small ball is azz.

Agreed. WTF is going on with him? Zero consistency feels like a total head case. When PG is bad he can lose us a game

This is where we need PG to put his big boy pants on with Leonard on the bench.

PG getting cooked by slow thompson. Cant rebound. I hate this second unit so much.

PG’s defense and effort at rebounds is so lazy tonight. It’s very noticeable. Kawhi & Zu are pretty much the only thing we have going.

That "washed up" klay just spanking PG's aşş.

Trade PG13 man. Can't see him settling for no3 option successfully in this team. He just doesnt have it.

I agree. Get a power forward and some draft picks. Or i ve said this before. PG for anthony davis. Lebron is the only person that will kick PG in the azz and tell him what to do. Lue wont do it.

Down 105-100 with 4 minutes to go. I don't EVEN want to hear about the coach.

Put them in position to win.

PG a little too late. Needed this before the last couple minutes of the game.

I mean I can't complain too much since it's a back to back but games like these championship teams pull out the win. Too many softies on this team.

lol i respect your enthusiasm even in the worst circumstances.

I didn't even bother celebrating the Kings win because I knew this team would follow it with some BS like this. There's no point in even getting invested anymore until Ballmer finally wakes up to the fact that this franchise needs a full rebuild.

OK, I'm out to get some Jack-in-the Box, lol. Game 5 of a 5games-in-7 games. Lost but didn't quit.

Last thing I heard was Brian saying "Westbrook continues to fight."

I'm Philly born and bred. That's all I ever need to hear. GFY, vultures.

Still missing another solid piece to the puzzle I feel.

And I don't care what anyone says I AM NOT a fan of Russ and Harden playing extended minutes together even with a stretch Big. Asking for a disaster defensively

Really miss Norm's production tonight. Their bench was the difference tonight.

Warriors bench had a great performance tonight, imo that was the biggest factor

Once the clippers got to within 5, Lue put in that rwb/harden/pg/Kawhi/Zu unit

It still drives me crazy why that lineup even exists, ignore the names and anyone can see its a horrible lineup. 2 non shooters, 2 mediocre to bad defenders. I feel it's done to stroke egos or to prove a point the lineup sucks.

I think this is a good point too. But you have to prove it to the players, by showing them. Let it prove itself out.

Only then will they accept whatever changes need to be made. Otherwise it's 'blame the coach.' He plays his favorites, and buries the guys he doesn't like.

In fact, it's even truer of the fans, lol.

ADD: Listening to the postgame on the way to Jack-in-the-Box. Clippers radio host Adam Ausland--who is a HUGE cheerleader for the Clips, he gets paid to be--was quite down on Kobe Brown tonight. Minus-6 in 6 minutes. We lost by 6. Said he was clueless out there.

Don't @ me. Just sayin'.
