Gave up $2M to come here taking the buyout. Never forget that. Otherwise he plays out his contract.

Shooting should normalize into our favor. Difference has been turnovers 4 vs 8. We have 4 blocks to their zero and 3 more steals. Just better defensively. I don’t trust Zions conditioning down the stretch if we can keep the heat on and stay out of foul trouble. Like the comeback effort

Theis is a super solid player. A god send for the Clippers.

Clips take the lead after a 21-pt deficit!!

Thx to the moderators for keeping the board troll sidelined. This is supposed to be fun!

There you go. Don't let Ingram get to his sweet spot for those midrange pull ups.

Jonas Curry is ridiculous from 3 against us.

Wait - Martin is no longer on the Clippers Board?

"OUR?"

HardenGoat has Clips as his #1 team icon? OK bro, whatever it takes. Welcome aboard!

I remember an old friend on the old AOL board--GPSvo--Gary!--who became a Clipper fan from Nebraska because we drafted Eric Piatkowski, who became one of the all-time most-loved Clippers.

And as I'm typing this--HARDEN-TO-ZU FOR TWOOOOOOOOOOO!

i don't at all see how pj tucker is doing anything good for us right now

Both James and RWB are 1-5 so far, let’s get a little more out of our point guards!

Hasn't ruined the last 3 or 4 game threads. I'm only hoping the moderators deserve the credit. All I ask is they don't let him ruin EVERY game thread with 5 posts every minute about Ty or Doc Rivers or Lawrence Frank.

That's all I ask. This is our community and this is where we all meet to share the game together--win or lose. We're all at home separately, and this is our virtual Clippers bar. :beer:

We just witnessed 2 Harden steals within about 10 minutes of basketball!

PG with the nasty 2-hand flush attempt, obviously fouled there.

nickhx2 · Post #54 » by **nickhx2** » Sat Nov 25, 2023 5:11 am

i don't get how lue doesn't see that A. tucker is getting absolutely eviscerated by zion every time, and B. they keep going to that matchup OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER

like, holy christ, try something different maybe?

KL2 · Post #55 » by **KL2** » Sat Nov 25, 2023 5:14 am

Don’t mind Leonard in the post to draw the double team cause it’s leading to some good ball movement and open looks. But how about mixing in some screens and whatnot to get him some open looks?

KL2 · Post #56 » by **KL2** » Sat Nov 25, 2023 5:16 am

Cripes. I appreciate the effort Leonard but please dont dive on the floor like that please.

zu's playing really well for us, despite his limitations.

makes no sense to me why we don't try both zu and theis together, such that theis can meet JV out at distance while zu does his best to deter zion in the paint.

esqtvd · Post #58 » by **esqtvd** » Sat Nov 25, 2023 5:16 am

Tie game at 74

Ty puts the starting 5 back in, who are all in the minus

Tucker goes to the bench with 19 minutes, and a team-best plus+13
0 points, 1 reb, 2 asst, 1 stl

hilarious--makes Pat Bev look like Magic Johnson

but die by the +/-, live by it

[T-Mann--14 minutes, 4 pts 2 rebs 1 asst minus-3]

Good point but gotta keep them at no more than 24 minutes each at the 5. When Plumlee gets back, Tucker and Theis will get looks at the Mook/Batum PF minutes.

t-mann doing a lot of work for us

too bad it'll never show up in the stat sheet
