Gobert with clutch fts.

You gotta foul right away. Geez. Let 10 seconds come off the clock.

Really wish Zu was available. He's really important to this team

Ahhh, that was a tough miss by Kawhi and Rudy makes two

I'm sure Powell nails that...lol

But I can't wait to play them again and hopefully with the whole gang.

One thing I think the Clippers miss with Zu is the pick and roll and his short roll passing

Well, we gave 'em a scare.

Another Invisible Mann performance. Was he even there?

Another playoff-style game where Lue, PG and Harden were all in their usual playoff form. I still have no confidence in this team ever winning anything meaningful with this core.

PG will be looking to make a statement against OKC too.

Not mad. Zu would have helped massively. Onto next one.

How can you blame Mann? Like seriously? He was 1-2 with a couple rebounds, no turnovers in 19 mins.

PG was the reason we lost. Pandemic P was 5-19. Thats like 25 percent shooting in a big game.

You cant blame a role player

Problem isn’t losing to this team. We can beat them. Problem is Denver and Celtics. It’s going to take disciplined defense and knocking down your shots. Zu probably gives the team a better rhythm overall and Plumlee needs learn how to play with Harden. That part should improve at least.

Bad loss. I think the team is talented enough to always be in games but still have some trouble in close games. Kawhi missed a big three but he was pretty much the only one of the big 3 that played decent. PG just had a rough night. But this is y I still think we need a trade. Cuz theis and plumlee did not have a great impact and for some reason t mann didn't get time in the second half. I just thought we had too many lackadaisical plays all game and no one who really wanted the matchup with Edwards. I feel like Towns got stripped multiple times but no one grabbed the ball. Gobert got them a lot of second chance points. So I'm still for Jonathan Isaac or Matisse or Drummond

No more trades. They got a full squad. Figure it out. PG just has to play better.

No Zu, everyone played poorly except for Powell and the Clippers only lost by four points. I guess that's the positive to take from this loss. Oh well, up next OKC.

nickhx2 · Post #58 » by **nickhx2** » Mon Jan 15, 2024 3:10 am

was only a matter of time before PG had one of his meh-PG games. too bad it was tonight because him being his usual self may very well have been enough for us to take the wolves down, even sans zu. i will say that i'd have expected harden to do a bit more so the fact that he didn't does kinda get me off kilter a bit. i don't think he's been his usual self for a few games now. but seasons are long and everyone goes through ups and downs.

can't win em all, and we just gotta move on.

It's not a question of blame. That's infantile. Nobody was dogging it. But even stars don't have it every night. It's not too much to ask Mann to step up at least ONCE in awhile. 2 points, 3 rebs, 0 assists. That's as close to invisible as you can get.
