    Dame Wes and Nic were pretty much no shows in a disappointing loss. Lamarcus had an amazing game! If our starters all stepped up, we beat the Clips.

    Aldridge was a beast last night. I wish we had either Matthews or Batum have a solid game to compliment that great performance. I think if either one had a good game too, then Lillard's game would come to him. There would be no chance FlopCity would be able to double pressure Lillard like that.

    I just can't stand the Clippers (FlopCity)! Them and Houston are the biggest winning floppers in the NBA. The fact that the NBA allows them to behave in this manner (even rewarding them) is a travesty. I couldn't believe how they allowed Jordan to set those moving picks, Paul to try and grab Lillard's hand like that, then award Paul to initiate all the contact to draw the fouls.

    The play-by-play shows that LMA only went 1-3 during his 7+ minutes in the 4th...was he being doubled, or did the guards go away from him? We weren't down by more than 3 until the last minute of the game. Dame was 3-7 (including 3 shots in the last minute when down more than 3). Wes was 0-3.

    There were 3 straight plays where Aldridge shot a contested jumper that rimmed off. We were up 6 before that. I would say that killed our momentum, especially after Crawfull hit that contested 3 from 35 ft. Then it seemed like we kept forcing 3s

    Our go-to plays at the ends of games are either threes or contested long twos. Given all the variety in Stotts' arsenal, I wonder why we don't get anything going toward the hoop. Our paint scoring is shit to begin with, it just goes into a tank in the fourth.

    Lamarcus was terrific last night. Doubled Griffin and more in all the good stuff.
    But dang, he sure didn't get championship level support from the guards!!
    Meyers sure is coming on nicely too.
    Maybe we better see if we can get Sergio to come lend a hand, he knows how to work an assist.

    We got out-coached, out-reffed, and out-shot. In that order.

    The Clippers are dirty whiny bitches. I hate them.

    Kaman had his patented once-per-game astoundingly bad pass happen at a very bad time.

    Batum wasn't THAT bad. His wrist is fuked up and he can't make a shot. And that is definitely not good.

    CJ can and will shoot better than he showed last night.

    My god am I glad we didn't "get" Hawes. Praise Jesus.

    Marc Jackson kept raving about Meyers Leonard.

    It was surreal.

    But our three bigs played well. Kaman, Leonard, and Aldridge all had double doubles. I guess defense was suspect though.

    The analysts praised paul for a veteran move.
