    We're playing like shit....

    But WTF is up with the goal tends? Two OBVIOUS goal tends that weren't called.

    And some scrub like Prigioni gets to man handle Dame? On one of those break away dunks he full on grabbed Lillard's arm and yanked him away from the ball. Are the refs even watching the game?

    Here's what I don't understand....

    The double/trap comes when we try to screen for Dame.

    So...... why screen? Why not just let him go to work on one of these scrubs? Can he not take Rivers or Prigioni one on one?

    Imagine what the full strength Warriors would be doing to us right now, we'd lose 200-50

    Don't forget too that there is a man waiting at the rim that can't shoot free throws that has blocked a lot of dames shot even when he beats the defender so there is that.

    He can take them one on one when the opposition has to honor thy rules and actually worry about being called for a foul.

    It's time to make some adjustments at half time and wake the players up from their collective coma (with Harkless as the exception).

    Also please mix up the pick n roll defense. Rivers is more of a scorer than a passer or shooter. Either trap him occasionally and make him pass out of it or go under the damn screen and make him a shooter.

    There are some absolutes in life. Such as, if Deandre Jordan shoots a better percentage from the line than your entire team, then you'll lose.

    I think the big thing we need to do is push them out of the paint. They have to beat us by making tough shots.

    Are we really so gutless that we crumble as soon as the series switches in our favor?

    It doesn't matter who the Clippers play or who gets hurt, these guys would lose to a HS team tonight

    I agree. I would also like to see more Hendo. He was doing well there for a while.
