    Coach Popp up to his normal bad ass self.

    I wonder if coach Stotts goes for this. Even if it's not the game plan for the whole quarter, I wonder if it could rattle the Clips if on their first possession we start with the hack a Jordan.

    I'm not speaking to the effectiveness of it, I just want to say it makes for aggravating viewing. I hate it.

    Especially for all those fans sitting in the arena.

    Good thing Terry isn't down there to make friends.

    Start Pat, and let him foul out on LA's first six possessions.

    I don't like it much either until it works and then of course my mind has a tendency to change the way i look at it.

    It does no good to hack Jordan unless the result will actually put him on the line.

    Wait until the penalty.

    It won't be a long wait considering we are playing Flop and Bitch City IN Flop and Bitch City.

    God I hate that team.

    If it means a win I don't care how we do it.

    Hack them, cut them, spit on them, whatever, just win!

    Not being able to make free throws is weak. Good warriors aim for the kink in the armor, those who don't die.

    Yep! Exploit the weakness and conquer. Actually exploit every weakness that they have. There are a couple.

    Agreed.

    Man up and play defense!

    It's funny earlier in the season other teams tried hack a Plumlee, but he's gotten better and it starting blowing up in their faces, and teams stopped doing it as much...

    The hack-a-player strategy is weak and an embarrassment. The game is supposed to be won on defense. Oh ya, the NBA is all about offense in todays era. I hope the NBA gets rid of the stupid strategy

    Defense is doing something that makes it harder for a player to score. Hacking Deandre is a strategy that makes it harder for him to score. Hack-A-Player is a form of defense.

    I just think it's a weak way to win but then again, everyone just wants to win.
