Anyone feel he’s not being used properly, and is just brought up to give Baron a rest? Past couple games, I see him walking the ball up instead of pushing back in the twolves days. I don’t seem to see much PnR either.
During a quick interview at halftime in a previous game, he said they cannot push the ball because they’ve been inbounding the ball allowing the opposition to get back on D, but even when they do get the rebounds, I don’t see the urge to push the ball up. All I see is walking the ball up for 8 seconds or so, look for a pass out to the wing and by then there’s about 14 seconds left on the shot clock.
You can't run if they make shots
Hornets made many shots…you can’t just randomly dribble and shoot if the Defense is set. That is reckless, Warriors bball. Run a set play…EGordon is out.
This is going to be my team, and we're going to rise together.

Did Ralph just make fun of Memphis' home crowd?
I think that’s what you call irony.
I've got nothing.
There's a crowd there? or more like a Group or a gathering of friends.
all you here on TV is MDSr yelling,
AL AL AL
Everything starts out New, Gets Old and Dies or is Destroyed.
baron and kaman both with 8
butler cant hit a shot
Is there any chance Dunleavy gets canned if we lose tonight?
It seems like at the end of our road trip would be the appropriate time.
Especially if we lost two out of three to these jokester of teams.
I've got nothing.
Sign him for 5 more years
If Elgin can keep his job for 20 years then Dunleavy can keep his job til 2020
anybody got a stream link?
lol. i can never find these things

anyone here watch mma?
WEC 44 is on soon…I’ll have a link if anyone wants to watch it and doesn’t have the Versus channel.
I just got done reading Ric Flair bloodied up Hulk Hogan pretty bad in Australia.
That’s more my cup of tea.
I've got nothing.
even if you don't like the UFC
you should try watching WEC…its a lot faster because they are smaller guys. This is a championship too.
Ok Qlippers here is the link for WEC 44 Brown vs. Aldo
http://www.atdhe.net/7509/watch-wec-44
should be a good fight
dang!
baron has 20 pts on 72% shooting.
that’s a good sign

2 part question
Will Gordon be back before Dunleavy gets replaced?
Will Blake be coached by Dunleavy in a regular season?
well I get the tickets for really cheap off ebay
I got 3 tickets the other day for $4 in the 200 level
if he can get them in for $1 they will spend even more money on food and beer
cause the tickets were basically free.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm rooting for Memphis to win by 30.
I want Dunleavy out tonight.
I've got nothing.
they just beat the lakers too right?
but I guess the lakers only really have Kobe playing well for them right now
ya and great coaching there should be a coaching efficiency stat

if we had kareem rush
we would have won this game
of course
he’s a one dimensional player. That’s why it’s weird so many people want to see him out on the floor so often (unless he’s with capable defeners around him)

So is baron the only person that decided to play tonight??? Just checked the scores and stats, WOW

EJ and BG are great players...
But this team isnt gonna win even with them. As prideful as Dunleavy is…I think even he will step down at this point. Did anyone else notice Dunleavy and Baron getting into a little by the way?
Last year Dunleavy rode the injury bug
Hes got one player out for 10 days and a hurt rookie who still has to go through a learning curve this year. There’s no reason for the team to be THIS bad
This stands pat to what I told Steve
The Clippers don’t play D late in games at best the play early and fade off. OKC missed shots that weren’t fully contested, plus Durant did not get the ball to close that is why we won.
I feel sorry for Steve, how do write up this game?
Just a blank submission??
Bottle of jack, a 22 and a single bullet
I think that would summarize the game up.

I'm pretty sure
its because we are all a bunch of masochists. In a city with so many entertainment options we continue to pick the one that is the least fruitful. I should take my season ticket money and just go to a strip club and make it rain.

The thing is this was it the Clipper offense and Defense
This will be the offense with Blake andGordon it’s a matter of who lucks out better. this team will not improve until the offense and defense is upgraded.
Rudy gay was a monster
The game was over when Dunleavy subbed DJ for Novak he gave of rebounding our big weakness for scoring and that failed.
The radio announcers were repeatedly stating towards the end of the game that something's got to change
They were very vocal about it. The clear implication is that MDSr has got to go. (I could have told them that 2 years ago but I digress.)
Come on Jax...
You and I both know that coaches have as much influence on a game as luck. We should give MDsr a 50 year extension since it’s virtually impossible to find anyone more capable… this is all the player’s fault(s)
I can’t seem to fathom a situation that would warrant the removal of any coach… ever.
Oh me, oh my!!!! The Red Baron has come home!!
Like the clipper team, I tried to Kobe this thread and posting about 60%
I gave up, it’s too hard
What makes the loss hard is everything went as planned and we still got blown out
Baron and Kaman did what they were suppose to we rebounded and still loss.lol You knew it was over when Rudy didn’t score in the first half he would be rested and able to go after that he could of went for 30.
this season is officially OVER
this was supposed to be the easy part of the schedule.

Last night I said we would be lucky to win 30 games.
I’m going to retract that, and make it 25.
I've got nothing.
You'd better amend that...
we might not be able to match 19 of last year.
Season Tickets
I rather get season tickets to the Sparks than watch this garbage. Dunleavy better be gone by friday.

oh wait you said coaches...
0% , but he will be there in a suit standing on the court yelling AL AL AL!
A little different scenario
the Nets knew going into this year that it would be a rebuilding year, they dumped their best player VC for some young prospects. To top it off Devin Harris got injured and has missed most of those games.
The Nets knew they were going to be a 20 win team this year while the Clippers were expected to challenge for a playoff spot. Yes we’ve had injuries but that doesn’t mean we should be losing (badly) to bad teams.

Sad sad
we have a losing month in what has to be the easiest schedule in all of November. This team is garbage and it starts with the coach.

Ralph on clipper talk
Ralph just came on said something has to change; either coaching change or trade someone
by Qlippers on Nov 18, 2009 8:24 PM PST via mobile reply actions
Didn't he say that last week too?
Or maybe it was last month?
Or last year?
Or the year before that?
Or even maybe the year before that?
I've got nothing.
Nope, he always stood by Coach
Now, he’s sounding disgruntle. This is the first
it's going to be another long season...
sigh…

you guys want some cheese with that whine?
come on where is the optimism? holy crap its like a bad divorce…. we all know the team has never been very good. Did you all expect something different to happen? The talent on the floor doesnt exist. Kaman and Baron were the only ones who could score. opposing teams are dialing in on us and there is nothing we can do until are sharp shooter and Rook get back.
obviously fans were very hopeful this year with getting first round blake, a solid team with the rest of other additions. I mean, we have GREAT players i mean, great. TO each their own, but we are not playing as a team and using each of their abilities to their potential. Not right at all, and we should not be where were at . WE lost games that we were suppose to have! Just bad! Fans are whining because this season was/is suppose to be our best since our below .500 days!! or still
Clips' Nation
Eagles!
really? were we not optimistic enough to expect our players to be able to stand up to a 2-8 memphis team? talent? baron and kaman? werent we raving about how we had a bench that had a possible starting PG?(telfair) come on at least make it close… no it was like 20 points we LOST by the 7 min mark at the 3rd quarter…
It's nice to see that they've been winning the 4th quarter lately
but someone needs to tell our guys that winning the 4th doesn’t mean a thing if you lose the previous 3 quarters. Its like they’ve concentrated so much on closing games that they forgot that they have to open games too.
Dunleavy's going to fire his assistants
That way Dunleavy will be the GM, Coach, and Assistant Coaches….it’s the surefire way Sterling can’t let him go….
I appreciate what Dunleavy has brought to the Clippers, he got DTS to open his payroll and has been able to get good players (when they were on other teams) on the roster. So far the Clippers have been somewhat competitive and just plain destroyed in their games played. YET, Dunleavy continues to run the same plays every game which clearly are not working. The 2010-11 season that Dunleavy’s contract runs until will destroy Clipper Nation and there will be the 5-6,000 fans at Staples like back in the Sports Arena days.
