    Because there is nobody better than Trent or Little at this point in the season.

    I voted 6man for Gary....he's our Lou Williams off the bench but with Wes Mathews defense...we need bench scoring and defense...he could become a regular 6 man of the year candidate

    Didnt Jamaal Crawford sign 5/40 or something at some point to be a 6th man every year?

    All I know is it's Jody Allen's money so in my universe....money is no issue for her. Trent is still under contract...he'll probably get an offer like Chief got...about 8 mil a season first contract..probably 3 year deal with an option...Nurk signed a friendly deal for 4 years...I think about 11 million a year

    How familiar with Jody are you? Im not. Meaning, I dont know how she handles finances. During these times, she might have different advisors and or be in paranoia mode and not want to spend at all?

    I guess Id be with ya in normal circumstances, but over the next year? I think teams are going to be very tight with money, and then the CBA factor.

    But I agree on the deal. I think he could sign for anywhere from 3/25 to 5/40 and I think that would keep him here. His big one will come when he proves himself better than the one he signs for next.

    I think Stotts has wanted to avoid lack of ball handlers leading to DameCJ getting trapped when the other sits... he hasn't played Trent any time at SG. Maybe they should give Adams or whoever the end of bench PG was they signed a chance.

    Yes, but we nearly beat the Celtics anyway. Who on the Clippers is going to be able to guard Nurk?

    Tuesday’s game against the Mavs is now on TNT and 90 minutes later than originally scheduled.

    When he uses those timid little flippy shots instead of going up strong - almost anybody!

    I don't think this is because of the massive Portland TV audience...

    The Blazers are starting to get a lot of national discussion. Lakers fans are interested in watching a possible first round opponent.

    Did they replace another game in the Schedule? Who lost their spot on TNT to the Blazers/Mavericks

    When he handles the ball like a wimp, so we lose the possession, it drives me nuts. Be a man and hold the ball with both hands. This isn't ballet.

    Not sure, but most likely like the regular season, they bumped another game that was as interesting diem the stretch.
