    I wonder if Brett Brown would be good for our team.

    that is a realistic expectation for the season for a team so young and inexperienced.

    Ask Ant if he thinks that. You’re being overly critical of the roster.

    Why are the old Clippers plays faster than the young kids?

    i mean the ant haters are lacking context bigtime... the blazers need all the 3pt shooting they can get.. n ant can shoot it off the dribble..


    the rest of this team. were waiting for them to catchup n start making 3's..

    I don't know that people are freaking out. But when you see some of the same stuff you've seen for the last 2 years even thought almost all of the players are new, that is a concern and shouldn't be ignored. Sure it's early, but why can't we see something else, or coaching improvements? Seems like valid questions/comments.

    It was the same with Stotts. When we saw the same thing season after season with no changes, it seem legitimate to questions what the heck was going on.

    If you wanna play fast you have to be a good defensive team

    if the other team is shooting 60%, you can’t play fast unless you’re in the Suns 7 second or less offense

    If i was one of the complaining types, id be barking at Thybulle tbh...


    like i see the rookie pg getting dogged, n the coach n the offense, but Thybulle turns the ball over, misses his 3's and the clippers r making it rain from 3 --- id think thybulle looks more of a player to replace than some of the big lotto picks..

    Ant has 9 points on 5 shots. I only looked at a few pages but I was happy to have not seen any “Scoot’s a bust” posts. It’s going to take some time and that makes sense.

    Scoot just might have some butterflies going up against his childhood favorite player.
