Maybe it takes time or the right coaching. Either we are making mistakes and getting outscored or we let guys like Redick, Crawford or Blake Mamba torch us. Lately we are not getting it done.
All you need is win the fourth though in a close game. Previous mistakes are forgiven if you can pull it out by then.
I agree. Mchale is really bad. I can imagine why Howard is not smooth. 5 mins you play as PF, next 5 mins play as C. PG run the play must remember who is which and where. Just destroy the chemistry every quarter.
McHale needs to be fired, both of the last 2 games wouldn't have of been lost if he just adjusted against the other coaches, MDA outcoached him with hack-a-dwight. Doc just completely nullified Rockets offense second half. Twin Towers has also been a huge factor in all of our starts
This team should never be that offensively inept. I am so utterly disappointed in this team so far, and it's not even because of Howard, who's been surprisingly one of the more consistent players on the team. Did all of our shooters lose their shot? Garcia, Casspi, Parsons, Harden, and Beverley are all struggling from 3. You can't build a team of shooters around Dwight if the shooters can't hit their shots. It's been miserable. Twin towers hasn't worked yet, and it won't work in the future. As long as this goes on, we will underwhelm. And defense is still an big time issue. Can't win when you can't get key stops. It's early and I hope it'll get fixed, but this flat out sucks right now. Even the games we've won we've looked underwhelming at times. First step is to get Twin Towers done with. Please Mchale...
Of course. The opponent team calls a timeout just to break your hot hands. 7 mins TT is long enough to cool down everything.
McHale has a lot to do with it. TT is not working, can't start game and 3rd with them. Teams are scoring at will on pick and rolls, needs to adjust. The team looks flat, no heart, like they expect to just win every game because of what's on paper, and it's the coach's fault for not firing them up.
We got behind early because of the Twin Towers. We couldn't win a close game like this because James Harden is hurting...I'm really hoping that James Harden's career goes along the lines of TMac's...
Clippers' execution in clutch games is second only to San Antonio and OKC in the West. They are more experienced, have a more mature superstar leading them. Our offense is sucking when it counts the most
Again Garcia and Casspi did not show up. Inconsistency. Redick, Dudley, Crawford were better today and overall.
why are we starting with no playmaker on the floor at the beginning of 4th? what is the point of lin coming off the bench????? Mchale!!
Shaq couldn't shoot free throws and he led the Lakers in 4th quarter scoring from 1998 to 2002 FEED DWIGHT
Two reasons our execution sucked from halftime on 1) twin towers killed our offensive rhythm and 2) we stopped feeding Dwight.
Ball movement is what we are lacking. Whoever gets the ball takes two dribbles and jacks it up. There is no coaching period.
Huge difference between Shaq and Dwight. Shaq was 7'1" and 325 pounds. Dwight is supposedly 6'11" (more like 6'9" probably) and 265 pounds. We should probably feed Dwight some more, but don't expect the same player as Shaq!
Dwight is no Shaq. Feed him more but we need 3 pointers made and generally better execution. Find a way to score. High Post Offense with a PF would be great now. As much as I hate someone like Gasol we might be needing someone who is able to pass.
