Yea, I didn't mean to indicate you didn't like it. As much as guys like Brooks and Ariza try to do too much at times, guys like Battier and Scola don't try to do enough at times. Assuming all these guys are with us in the future, I'd like to see Brooks and Ariza settle down while Battier and Scola don't pass up shots and opportunites to look for their own. It's a much bigger issue with Battier than Scola but Scola does have a tendency to pass up open shots at times and that particularly hurts us late in the shot clock. I'd like to see Lowry continue to look for his shot as well, particularly those mid-range shots.
1. Fine, take Hayes out of it. Our other 3 frontcourt players shot a combined 9/21 for 24 points. Again, Camby more than held his own defensively. 2. The fact that Scola and the rest of our bigs accomplished nothing inside had everything to do with Camby. It was the Clips perimeter D (among other things) that killed them, not Camby. But yeah, keep on trying to impress everybody with that "camby sux cuz he no play man D" spiel.
Definitely agree. Dumbleavy is holding this team back so much it's crazy; and the sad thing is he's probably got the safest job in all of professional and college sports, because that racist b*stard Sterling is too cheap to go find a new GM and coach. And to think it was him, Larry Brown or JVG a few years ago... When I saw that Brooks/Rasual Butler matchup, I though that this is one coach simply outsmarting the other; the way you beat the Rockets is with dribble penetration and crashing the boards with 7 footers; not posting up your 5th option and freezing out everyone else. I remember that JVG used this move a lot; putting either Luther Head or Wesley on a SG and daring them to score; the only problem was it was Kobe Bryant, who just laughed and drained jumpers. The Clippers really need to swing a trade for another wing that can play; Ricky Davis and Rasual Butler don't really do it for me, and you've got Craig Smith, a pretty decent player who's going to get squeezed when Griffin gets back on the court. Also, I was pretty happy to see the Novak cameo at the end of the game; I always hear Bill Simmons blasting Dumbleavy for bringing in the ice cold shooter at the end of the game; glad to see it in action about 6 minutes too late.
True, our guards were driving easily, and they made easy shots, Camby's help D was in full effect! And i never claimed Camby "sux on d", but he is clearly overrated. And if you believe we should give up Shane/Tmac's contract for him, you are clearly delusuional. 2. Scola missing his bread and butter shots had NOTHING to do with Camby Camby was also saved from complete embrassment by flopping.
great game by our home team. man its so much fun watching this team play. no superstar and we're still in it. hey Barkley, worst team in the west? Why don't you go ahead and eat these :grin: :grin:
You know an pro team is bad when they are beat by a bunch of high school players, even if they have Adelman as a coach...
Oh man what can you say its the Clippers, they have one of the deepest teams in the nba but can't utilize it for ****!!!
McGrady was caught laughing with teammates during a timeout and after the game, he was sharing laughs and pats on the back with Brooks. Chemistry problems?
Clippers announcers "The Clippers have too many weapons for the Rockets to win!" HAHA I guess the Rockets must have done some Matrix stuff and took out all their bullets. Cause their so called weapons didn't do crap! Great win. I love when the other teams announcers take us lightly. Only thing bad about NBA League Pass is that you sometimes get the opponents feed of the game. Oh, they also said Hayes couldn't guard Kaman! Kaman averages 20 and chuck and company held him to 10 tonight!
yah, Clipper announcers realllllly sucked. The said a lot of crap about the rockets during the game and then they lost.They also said that Ariza was a bad fit and he fit better with the lakers.
Since he has been getting regular minutes the last few games, he has actually been hitting 42.8% and even the last 3-4 games at nearly 50 %.
They were downright awful. They loved to talk about Rasual Butler for some reason and at one point compared Trevor and Aaron to Stevie and Cat?? They were idiots and don't even get me started on how excited he got for Baron's fast break dunk. I found it funny at the end how the one guy was rooting for Chase and the other guy got pissed at him.
