No PG no Morris Sr. Three losses in a row but some good positives though. Namely Mann and Kennard.. and mostly I'm hoping Kennard can build from this game. Mann was great though. He actually needs to look for his shot more. He's starting to break through some ceilings. Give Kennard more looks at point if this is the real him and he's ready to contribute. Can't believe the lack of respect Kawhi gets on the foul calls. Its getting out of hand. Batum needs less minutes and I think we need another big. I wish Oturu could get a few minutes even though that's not gonna happen.Significant issues
Three losses is ugly asf but get this all star break, rest, and Ty Lue has some pieces to work with going forward imo.All the talent in the world but this team doesn’t play winning basketball

Facts. Three bad losses in a row. Bad execution down the stretch against the Bucks and Celtics but a loss to the Celtics without Kawhi and Morris is not out of the realm as well as tonight's loss without PG and Morris. There was better execution tonight as they had open looks to the end the games as opposed to chucking terrible contested threes against Milwaukee and Boston. All three games were winnable no doubt about it. Not excusing that. Kawhi had to go for 30 plus in a game like tonight. They'll come back strong after some rest with the all star break. This was that long Grammy road trip we normally have except that there were no Grammy's at StaplesWe got the talent but it has rarely been on the floor together at the same time. The team will get right for the second half of the season. They have toI see it wayyyy different
The Clippers top to bottom have more talent than any team in The NBA. It’s almost laughable honestly. You got guys in the dog house who shoot lights out. You got the pups growing by the day providing meaningful minutes. The Clippers have so much talent they can give some away. The Memphis loss isn’t a big deal. These last three are. A blatant lack of execution when it matters. Stars going ice cold. No ball movement and no playmaking when it counts. All the last 3 games were games that should have been won. All 3 games featured scoring droughts in critical moments. You don’t have the amount of talent this team has without championship aspirations. They have 30+ games to figure it out because if they don’t they could be going home first round depending on the matchup. Call it what you feel but the regular season has to be used to fix late game execution
A move needs to be made
Of course everyone is going to say we need a pg but the interior defense is asscheeks. Hell I just wish we had a goon in the paint even if his offense is subpar. Kabengele could've been something on defense but they wanted him to be a three point shooter first and foremost and now his confidence is shot and teetering on being out of the league soon. Outside of Mann there's no youth coming up on this team. Just bad drafting. Morris, Batum, Lou Will, Pat Bev, etc. are all question marks. We lookin' funny in the light right nowApart from Kawhi/PG, who do you consider untouchable?

Huh? Shamet all by himself got us Luke Kennard. You talkin like he's a MVP candidate.Only silver lining of that Kennard contract is you can get a big contract in return. Didn't you guys get bunch of picks in that Shamet trade? Time to make use of them
talking about the 4 2nd round picks in that tradeHuh? Shamet all by himself got us Luke Kennard. You talkin like he's a MVP candidate.
