    Because Chauncey said in the pre-game he wants to put pressure on the ball.

    So that means of course for him to play Dalano Banton.

    You don't notice Rupert because he isn't playing.

    I got a chance to sit and watch some more ball this last couple weeks but I don’t think I could pick Rupert out.
    Banton is tough to watch but yes I have seen him play a bit.

    Avdija could guard Zubacs better than Ayton does.

    this foul baiting by every clipper is very annoying. holy shit what a boring team to watch.

    every play, all they do is sling their heads back and act like they got shot

    Not a big Ayton fan but it does seem like Channing Frye calling him out made him play a bit better.

    Scoot is the only one making plays. But nobody is finishing.

    Sharpe’s putbacks are legendary.

    13-3 FT advantage for LA

    scoot should easily have like 6 or 7 assists now if his teammates could hit anything

    There's no structure here. Other than losing games, I don't know what any of our players are getting out of this.

    On the positive side, Scoot with another 2 good quarters of play. Shaedon having a decent game. Ayton's play's been passable.

    Kinda difficult to win games when you have 3 players score all but 2 points for you in the first half.

    Simons is laying an egg too.

    FT's are 13 to 3.

    NOT saying that is why they're down but jeesh....

    Due to Shaedon being so quiet, I think his nickname should just be "Shh". Everytime he hits a three, a fadeaway or throws down a dunk even at home, I think that Shaedon should just put his finger to his lips like he's shushing his opponent.

    I just think something creative like that could make a star out of a guy as understated as Shaedon is vocally.

    @THE HCP get this stupid idea to whoever it is that can get it to Calabro and Shaedon. Let's make Shh happen!
