    These guys don't run plays. they just constantly improvise, and they are good at it.

    the officials have definitely got the memo the Clips need to win

    Blazers have three guys with 20 points or more

    Totally disagree. For years, spots 10 through 17 have been filled with silly puddy guys. Knox, Mays, & Harrison have a chance to be actual contributors. In past years, these guys (Blazers end of benchers)gave nobody a game. This unit is competitive against playoff teams. Has nothing to do with any colored glasses.

    Knox looks like he needs a leather jacket, shades and a plasma gun. He came from the year 3025 to right some wrongs and ended up playing basketball instead.

    We ran Butler at the point in order to finish last game with a loss. I think there is almost no chance that we fuck either of these games up with a W.

    This is why I don’t put any stock into a tank game. As soon as the other team needs to play they absolutely shut them down.
    Sharpe has improved this season no question but he has 2 points this quarter and the Clippers are putting this game away.

    Yeah, he's 19 and the focus of a really good defense.

    Quote of the day from one of my seven year olds:

    him: “Who’s zero zero?”

    Me: “that’s Shaquille Harrison.”

    him: “who is he? Why is he on the team?”

    What a season lol

    Fair enough. I think that if he is playing with Dame, Jerami and at least one other guy who defenses have to pay attention to before him... he's going to be a very good fourth option to start next season and will have worked his way up past Jerami and who knows how high in the pecking order by the end of next season.

    Obviously, Knox is not capable of doing what he's doing, so there is no reason to believe he can.

    Maybe he might be a serviceable 11th or 12th man. But he’s young enough that, if you like what you’ve seen of him you can bring him back for two cheap years and he develops to be a really good 7th man?

    Finding talent for your team is hard to do as a small market team.

    Clips with 45 points in the 3rd to rectify the situation.

    4th option? Okay. Probably right.
