:ohhh: you were singing a completely different tune a week ago when I pointed this out :dwillhuh:
I love our additions on the bench but I've never been an advocate of Austin and Crawford in the game chucking up shots.. Remember these two were on the team last year. I was talking about all our new guys that should be getting minutes over Austin and Crawford

I thought Rivers gave you good minutes in the 2nd half personally. He defended Curry far better than anyone else on the team (CP3's defense :scust:) and scored 8 points on 4-8 shooting. I'd personally be happy with his contribution on the road if I were a Clippers fan. :manny:

Pierce went 0-3 was a liability on D and missed two clutch free-throws while Crawford almost single-handedly got the Warriors back into it with his ill-advised chucking.

Truthfully I'm was like this.. You can't have and 2nd unit of Austin and Crawford in the backcourt. Its a disaster. Doc's not going to bench his son so bench Crawford. I've been wanting Crawford gone for two years now. Remember he's been doing his and-1 Hot Sauce routine since Vinny Del Negro was the coach. He was supposed to get traded but nope he's still on the team and chucking at will. I can live with Austin.. he has flashes but that Crawford has got to go!!

No. Just, no.

Randle has shown his ability to possibly be a great player while Okafor has also, but Randle is a much better rebounder and looks to be a much better defender at this point. Right now, Oak is all offense/scoring and Randle does a lot more whIle putting up similar numbers on a team where he gets the ball a lot less than Oak. However, I would have been willing to see how they would have worked together so I woulda drafted Oak. If we struggled defensively and I HAD to make a change, I'm putting Oak out there for a trade before Randle. Randle has a rare skilkset.
Wait what? We gonna act like a garbage man like Faried didn't drop 28/15 on Randle's dome?

Yep Crawford has to go. Rivers knows his limitations and didn't force anything up in the 4th quarter while Crawford took FIFTEEN shots last night.

Jamal Crawford has been trash for years.

Any Magic fans want to explain whats going on with Skiles roatations? Why is Tobias Harris only playing 21mpg? Are they handing the job over to Gordon?

Harden needs to take a step back and breathe and get back to what made him so good in OKC and thats looking to create instead of ISO'ng up then looking for fouls. He has a decent mid range game so he needs to work from there instead of 3pt or layup.

Whiteside vs. Towns tonight :lupe:

Fournier is fukking it up I dunno him and Skiles probably fukking which would explain the High minutes. And dude just had a couple decent games so he's guaranteed to start for another month or two. Skiles needs to realize this lineup is the magic future (Payton, Oladipo, Harris, Gordon, Vucci mane)
