Mann needs more minutes (Powell was atrocious defensively) and PG needs to be the ballhandler a lot less.

Loss made me sick brehs. 88 points in the paint from the Kings. Zu would've shut down a third of that. Ugly ugly turnover sequence from PG late in the 4th which damn near ruined his stellar game. He deferred to Russ in handle the ball all game long why stop here? Kawhi ran out of gas. Norm shouldn't have been in the game when we needed offensive stops. Should've been Mann out there who only had 17 minutes total in a double OT game. That's unexcusable. Also Lue not getting the team to foul and send them to the line as they let Monk take the wide open three to tie the game to send it into overtime. Good opening game from Russ but this loss is ultimately on Lue. Hell I would've even played Diabate a few minutes while Plumlee was on the bench just to put a body on Sabonis. Denver coming up on Sunday now. We needed this win tonight badly :snoop:

Would have won this game if Mann played more. This season is a bust cause they're trying to make russ feel good. They deserve to lose but like @pete clemenza said this loss is in ty lue.

Lakers going to finish with a better record than us. Frank should have told of and kawhi to shut the fukk up.

Yeah I'm disappointed in the Mann demotion. That dude has busted his azz for this team year in and year out and he should take offense and raise hell with only getting 17 minutes of action in a two OT game. Go ahead and start Russ but move Morris to the bench and put PG at the three and Kawhi to the four. How does Lue not give Moussa Diabate a few minutes while Plumlee takes a break? They're not going to run any plays for him we just needed a body on Sabonis for a few minutes. But he played Morris at the five instead:snoop: Kawhi and PG, outside of his two horrific inexcusable late game turnovers, actually balled out. They wanted Russ to handle the ball and now he's here so why in the f*ck is PG still trying to bring the ball up for :what: I like what Russ brings and he played within the offense and game. Zu would've shut a lot of that in the paint scoring that Sac pulled off. Lue allowing Monk to shoot the three to end the game instead of fouling him was a crime in itself. And you can't say lets trust the defense when we've giving up almost 200 points in a game and If you're going to let him shoot why not put a better defender on him instead of the worst defender in Norm? Horrible horrible horrible. Now we got Denver on Sunday night. We needed last night's game in the worst way:francis:

Morris isn't washed but he shouldn't be getting the amount of minutes that he does. Bringing Russ in was a bad idea because Lue is a dikkhead and it was obvious to everyone Mann was going to be hurt minutes wise. These are my thoughts on Russ from another thread: 2. Westbrook wasn't horrible but there's nothing he does that we couldn't have got from Norm, Mann, and Gordon who are either better offensively, better defensively, or both.

Might be time to talk about firing Ty Lue. That being said I don't k ow who you can replace him with?

Lucky to make the play in and lucky to get out of the first round right now.

Real possibility this team does not make the playoffs based on recent performance, struggles against actual competition and remaining schedule

I said it the moment they picked up Russ. It was the stupidest move and straight up killed their championship dreams

I didn't like one move the clippers made at the deadline.

Trading Reggie Jackson was stupid. Trading Kennard for fat washed Eric Gordon made no sense.

You ain't been watching Clipper games. Those moves were good actually. Kennard is hesitant and scared to shoot and Reggie is washed and shoots a low percentage. We had two wins in a row with our new acquisitions then we added Russ and now it's gone south in a hurry. Oh well I'm down for the rebuild
