    Yeah the frustrating thing is he will leave bad rotations out there for far too long and let them bleed out with a full compliment of timeouts. It reminds me a lot of Dusty Baker with the exception of 2022 when the pitching rotation was so otherworldly we didn't have many bleed out innings.

    Run them off beyond the arc! Batum and Lopez cannot fake and dribble no more!

    They’re not playing bad, clippers are shooting insane from 3

    that being said our starting lineup is just so bad

    I don't like how this one is shaping up. The Clippers can get any shot they want. And we are in love with shots that are not going to fall later.

    What's up with our defensive philosophy always leaving shooters open? I swear our guys rarely ever get as good of looks on offense as we give on up defense.
