    Nba needs to fine the Clippers for playing 6 on 5 whenever Nards was in the game.
    Actually I demand the game gets replayed.
    Fielding a ghost isn't acceptable.

    Curry: +13 in 23 minutes. Curry wasn't the problem.
    (Stauskas was good tonight too - +9 in 7 minutes. Tonight we needed more of both.

    Clippers had 6 players with double digit FG attempts, meanwhile we have Dame and CJ jack up 48 of the teams 97 shots...

    Curry is complete liability on defense and hasn't done enough on offense to warrant being in the game.

    So that's why he got pulled for not shooting when he came out to start the 3rd for Nurk.

    I never said he was the problem, and if you read the thread you'll see I gave him credit when it was due.
    But Nards was a problem tonight.

    I just don’t get not playing Stauskas more. He didn’t even play in the second half! He’s the second best playmaker on the team, has like four inches on Curry, and can shoot. The FUCK!

    Hasn’t that already happened? Or is he saying it’s because of injures...

    For those fools who think Nurk is expendable. There's your freaking answer. Survey says "X".

    I know they paid ET a lot, but to me he’s the weak link. He cant shoot. Defenses go under screens on him, he’s not really elite at driving the ball either. So the idea lets play him at point is so silly. Even the second unit looks best when Seth, or Nik pump faking and driving and kicking. It helps create spacing for Meyers and Collins because teams have to respect Seth and Nik. I feel like NO is determined to make them show case ET and its just killing this team. Unless you can set up the offense at an Elite level like a Rondo having a guy who isnt a threat from outside of 15 be your play maker is just bad offense.

    Then on defense yes they play ok when Nurkic / Zach clog up the paint but their perimeter defense has basically been the same BAD scheme for years. They get their bigs in foul trouble all the time, and if the bigs back off to keep from fouling its a lay up line out there.

    All that said, just find some way to win the next two at home...

    My god the refs were garabage no matter how you want to look at it. 34 FTA to 10, 13 fouls to 24. This was such a shitty shitty way to lose and people will say "don't blame the refs" but i'm not sure how you don't blame the refs when its this blatant. When you get fucked this hard by the refs its impossible to win.
