Blake's post game is makeshift, he doesn't have a solid foundation.

Yeah, I said decent. He has a pretty good jump hook and he.seems to be.working on a turnaround J as a counter. A good coach woulda got him.a.shooting coach sooner and.would demand he utilize the couple of post moves he.does have.

Blake has looked great this preseason by the way

Paul will not let that team turn into a pity party. He and Bledsoe can/should play together for stretches during games. Bledsoe's strong enough to guard 2's for short stretches, plus the league's downsizing as a whole anyway.

Butler/Barnes/Hill a clusterfukk? :wtf: Butler's easily the best out of those three. Hill's damn near 40 and Barnes is :trash: What's there to argue about?

Crawford's strictly a gunner off the bench. He might catch fire and finish a few games over Billups, but they know who the hierarchy is at that position.

Vinny's an awful coach and they might be unhappy with him, but not with each other.

I'm done reading Simmons stuff for a while after this stunt he's trying to pull, plus the LeBron suck-fest article he posted on Friday. He can't be taken seriously.

If you play Bledsoe at 2 then that's less minutes to distribute for Billups and Crawford...Crawford might pout


Barnes isn't trash breh. His 3 point jumper is trash, but he's a great hustle man. And Hill is old but he can still ball. You being a fellow Laker game should be able to sympathize with the aging ballers :usure:


Paul is a good leader and I doubt there will be a full on mutiny, but I'm saying that guys probably won't have the minutes nor good spirits to really make an impact like their career numbers suggest they should

Did you watch the Spurs/Thunder series? Go and read my post again.

My point is the Clippers aren't the Thunder and playing uptempo is not a problem for the Spurs (that's how they prefer to play now), as their half-court offense isn't what it used to be with Timmy no longer being a dominant force. Perkins and Ibaka shooting lights out was of more problem for the Spurs than the tempo.

One of those two can play at the 3; ya know, small ball?

Barnes is a non-factor on offense. He was fukking terrible for the Lakers last year. He'll have his moments, but game in game out? Hell no.

You trying to say Butler isn't clearly the best small forward they have? :stopitslime:

Yeah, because they were that stereotypical scrappy, defensive underdog that people can't help but root for :manny: but on paper the better team was definitely LA.

:dwillhuh: Grizzlies weren't underdogs.

They were like $3.75 favorites in game 7 and were favorites throughout most of the series.

Caron was awful last year. He didn't do much better than Hill.
