    I guess we will give up 3 point shots.

    CJ has given up a three, a bad turnover and took an early two when not really open.

    4 turnovers for the good guys and 5-5 from three for the Clippers. Surely this isn't sustainable.

    Not trying to throw RoCo and Nurk under the bus but like, this team is clearly better with Nance and Zeller in the game or am I wrong? I think for all of RoCo's good off-ball defense he gets beat off the dribble a lot. Having 3 guys in the starting lineup who cannot regularly keep their man in front of them is just difficult. Your defense is constantly in rotation.

    Nurk's peak is better than Zeller, but Zeller is just way more consistent. Never know which Nurk you're gonna get.

    I noticed that too. Definitely a reputation non call.

    I also noticed that the team started playing a little better when RoCo was taken out.

    Dame's pass to Nance for the basket wasn't counted as an assist

    I was just about to say: get Nurk and Roco out and things go a lot better!. Really disappointed in those two; they need to step it up.
