    I'm starting to notice that MDA's sytstem is looking very archaic in the sense that there is very little ball movement involved. Relies too heavily on playmakers' ability to create, with four other guys often just standing around. This is not how modern elite teams operate. You don't just depend on few ball-handlers to create everything through pnr and such. GSW, SAS, and BOS all move the ball and bodies exceptionally well, whereas I think we are like second to last in team assists.

    I agree
    I was blinded until we got a few nicks. . .and now it is like the bottom fell out

    We started such a Flawed line up

    Anderson - Who actually had a decent game. .. but his own diminished standard but not by his pay check
    T Ariza - He is what is is .. and seems to have been defensively good
    NeNe - only able to play 20 minutes a game. . . TOPS!
    Harden - Solid
    Ego - Solid

    This group could probably hand with anyone in the league for a half
    but
    The subs
    T Black - *sigh* - should probably top out at 10 minutes a game
    P Tucker - SOLID
    Weber - A youngster getting his feet wet

    It is unsurprising that we fell off late

    Injuries and trash referees are not in the box score?

    We lost to the clippers bench. They have 4 guys out from their starting line up. We had 3 guys out. We should have won but they didn’t play like they wanted to win.

    Kyle Kuzma
    Corey Brewer
    Austin Rivers
    Lou Williams(He's good)

    Felton is a low key Rockets killer. But the scrub that goes off on the Rockets will be Melo.

    Totally forgot that OKC has Felton. He kept the knicks in the game when he was with them. Or was it with the clippers? :confused:

    Flopping charging calls contribute to turnovers.

    I didn't get to watch the game. Just how terrible was the officiating?

    Evidently someone was allowed to play with 7 fouls

    If Luc, Capela OR Chris play . . .we win these last two games
    So I am not overly concerned

    We got 3 techs, a flopping clipper got to play with 7 fouls, and Harden was thrown out. So they were okay..., but not a factor according to cf.net so don't even go there.
