They've been doing that in pretty much all their games so far. Clogging the paint, suffocating the ball handler and roller, and rotating mostly only from from the elbow down. It'll be interesting to see what kind of approach they take against Golden State.I was wondering why these nikkas weren't defending the 3 point line and let these dudes get back in the game. Doc is really trying hard to make up for a great start to the season

3+D players don't grow on trees. If anything in today's NBA they'd be called two-way players because if you shoot threes and play defense, you're well above average.I'm more excited for Simmons than Embiid for some reason.
Can't wait till they play together. Just surrounded them with 3+D role players, can't be hard to fukk that up right?

I was wondering wtf was going on with that bullsh*t.. Plus they didn't even stop WestbrookAll evening, the Clippers had their faith tested as Coach Doc Rivers stressed to his players to stay the course against Oklahoma City despite some unsettling moments.
The Clippers believed in their coach’s philosophy and his plan, and that belief was their guide to escaping with a last-second 110-108 victory over the Thunder on Friday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Not until Russell Westbrook missed an attempt for a game-winning three-pointer just before time expired could the Clippers breathe easily.
Rivers said he could sense some tension when he told his players to stick to letting poor-shooting Andre Roberson and rookie Domantas Sabonis shoot three-pointers for the Thunder. Rivers could sense some tension when he told his players they were going to build a defensive wall around Westbrook.
Even though Roberson wound up going three for six from three-point range for nine of his 13 points, and Sabonis made four of five attempts for all 12 of his points, and even though the Thunder shot 57.1% (16 for 28) from long range, the Clippers still agreed it was the right strategy in the end.
Westbrook had 29 points, but he missed 16 of his 25 shots, the final one being the biggest with the game on the line.
“This is one of those games that you can lose your trust in,” Rivers said. “Roberson was making threes, Sabonis was making threes and we’re telling our guys to stay and clog the paint. And they are looking at me, like, ‘Why?’ We did it and it worked out for us. This is one of those games that you could have lost trust easily in what we were doing and we didn’t.
“At the end of the day, we won the game, so I think it actually probably gives me more equity to try more stuff.”
Not saying we're gonna win by 20+ points in every game but why switch the defense up for this OKC game when its been dominating for the past 6 games or so? Doc trying to f*ck up a good thing already

maybe because westbrook just about beat them by himself last game and they just wanted someone else to do it. westbrook got his numbers but he wasnt efficient. basically i dont think they ever imagined the thunder were capable of making that many 3s. it would have been a blowout if they shot their normal % from deep.

6 teams average a worse home attendance so far this season than the Pelicans
Which teams? I want some pictures too because attendance numbers are usually done by tickets bought rather than the people that actually show up right? The crowd im looking at his small as shyt and was even during the bigger games like against the Warriors.
Also Clarkson out here beasting.
