    Bullshit. Clippers nuggets and bucks own his ass. 3 years streight garbage performances against these 3 teams. Never seen a team own Lillard more than clippers. Its embarrassing he should be ashamed.

    But as long as we keep the coach and the main 2 players, it will somehow magically fix itself.

    7th best defense in Nurk’s return.

    I tried to be patient for last few weeks, but this team is pathetic to the core. They sign Rondo and Cousins, we sign Dame's cousin and tjl. We obviously need just some cosmetic touches to win it all.

    Stotts should really be ashamed of himself, yet our record puts him to the top5 coaches in the league.

    And there's Dame "friendship over championship" Lillard, that's gonna say: "up to the next one".

    They should have "Excuse of the day" show as well. What is going to be this time? No Nurk I guess.

    Rotten culture.

    That's a playoff preview. I think we will have Nurk but it won't change too much.

    When I say playoff preview I don't mean us vs the Clips. I mean this is what every team is going to try and do to Dame. They were throwing two and three guys at him all game. Selling out hard on ball denial and then selling out again when Dame did get the ball with blitzing traps. The rest of the team couldn't tonight and haven't in the past been able to make up the difference.

    Ice out Dame and we're screwed and the teams can just sit back and laugh as we make no adjustments to get Dame involved in novel ways or make them pay for cheating.

    No Nurk or Zach. They are everything when it comes to our defense.

    Offense wasn’t our problem. Powell and CJ feasted off of Clippers’ D. Our problem was our inability to stop the Clippers.

    Not a lot of positives but to me, it is obvious that Norman fits a need that Trent did not and that is attacking the rim. 14-15 from the line.
    That will come in handy.

    This is why Curry is better than Dame since he keeps on moving through picks to get free and he plays off the ball. Dame can’t do that and always get stuck on top with the shot clock.

    How many of those were against teams like we'd face today?

    Or teams we would face in the playoffs. Those are the numbers that matter.

    We did make them pay. Powell scored 32. CJ scored 24. Covington and Kanter scored in double figures. We didn’t lose because of their defense on Dame. We made them pay all night. The problem was the defense which will be solved when our big men get healthy. In the meantime, we’re .600.

    Curry’s team can’t even get to .500. Dame’s team .600 despite countless injuries. Dame is far better than Curry.

    So all you care about are how we play Clippers, Lakers, and Nuggets. Well, we beat healthy Lakers and we were injured against the other two. How we play in season doesn’t dictate playoffs.
