    Clippers aren't a top five playoff team in the league; they're probably seventh or eighth. And yes we are average; that's why we have 43 wins after 81 games. What a fucking work of genius this post is.

    Also. We need a big man.

    We really need a big man.

    I think we're weak up front. We probably need a big man...

    Because you can foul? If they miss free throws it's a 1-2 point game...

    Seems like maybe I was right; this is quite the rude post!

    Because the opponent often misses a freethrow?

    That's basketball 101. Sorry you don't understand it.

    Perhaps, but it was well-deserved on your part.

    Regarding turnovers and blocks, refs had an effect on those. We turn the ball over getting manhandled in the paint, refs don't call anything, and they get a steal. Happened a few times. We get a clean block, but instead get called for a foul and they get FTs. This also happened at least 3 times that I saw. That 2nd quarter was particularly awful.

    Minnesota hit a ton of tough shots, and congrats to them for that. That should have kept them close tonight. The difference was the FTs. Instead of hitting tough shots to keep the lead, they're hitting tough shots to stay in shouting distance.

    3.5 seconds.

    I'm going to count the number of last second plays we've blown this year.

    Brewer

    Randolph

    Redick

    Towns

    Am I missing anything?

    I'm not talking about the Warriors, I"m talking about the Blazers. And why would you even ask if it matters? What a stupid question.

    Do you think Terry told CJ to wait 8 seconds to foul?

    Terry made mistakes but every mistake isn't his fault.

    Why? Derisive snorts at one's father sounds pretty rude to me. I honestly didn't think I was going HAM on you. Is this like sensitive subject?

    Amen. I have been praising Stotts frequently, but his inflexibility on defense is beginning to gnaw at my confidence.

    If our season depended on defending for 10 seconds, we lose the game nearly every time. Crunch time defense has to be near the bottom of the league

    Closest thing we have to real C is Kaman. Plumlee and Davis are PFs.
