    I think we still have one good run left in this game. We can't give up yet. There's a whole quarter yet to be played.

    fact is when Dame and/or CJ are doubled we don't have a reliable 3rd option.

    combine that with rush, missing easy shots, and being out hustled - its gonna be a tough series tbh...

    Where'd the Clippers get so many bigs? Our bigs aren't even that BIG and they are literally choking with them!

    I've just reached my boiling point. I really expected him to mix up the strategy this time around. How could he not see this coming if he was planning to not try something different tonight?

    having centers who are really power forwards will kill us this series.

    Aldrich just pushed Ed Davis no harder than Davis pushed Green. The difference? Davis is a man, not a little bitch.

    Now their bench is kicking our ass. Not a good sign when some of us though our bench would be a strength.

    Forget a dynasty, I'd be happy with them being relevant.

    The defense is terrible and only few players show up to play. Again Stotts scheme does not work against this team period hopefully few more players show next game.
