Big game for the clippers
a win here would be a huge bounce back from the disappointing loss, on Wednesday.
"It's better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a pessimist who is always right"unknown
Lets own these punks
Mo needs to show Lou who the best 6th man in the league with the last name Williams is.
I have nothing against Iggy
but everything against FElton Brand.
I hereby sentence him to death by posterization.
I fear that this could be the end of Mo as a Clipper
missing shootaround, the phantom injuries that limit him, I was hopeful that he had bought in, but I feel like he isn’t happy.
what happened? is he not playing today?
No, it's the Clip Show!
He was at shoot around
there is a picture posted of him at warmups.
"It's better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a pessimist who is always right"unknown
Picture here
"It's better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a pessimist who is always right"unknown
hmm I missed the last 10 minutes of clipper live
no mention of him not playing, stomach illness . Also video just came up of Mo in the layup line. I wouldn’t read too much into missing shoot around, stomach illness happens.
"It's better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a pessimist who is always right"unknown
Seems like making something of nothing
"It's better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a pessimist who is always right"unknown
+ TJ Simmers throwing him under the bus
I could see an emotional guy like Mo take that the hard way…

This would be a gif worthy win
"It's better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a pessimist who is always right"unknown
Just looked up his foundation
He does work to help kids that were in the same position he was. Good man.
Oh Randy Foye, I never knew.
I think I love him now.
many of these players grow up under less then ideal circumstances
we might harp guys because they don’t live up to our expectations, but it takes a lot of commitment and talent even to be an end of the bench guy on a NBA team

Yeah, Foye's story is a really sad one.
I may not like what he does on the court, but I have a newfound respect for him after what he’s been through.

mike smith
“made a 360 degree turn, and he is the opposite”
well, Mikey, 360 puts you back where you started. How about a 180?
This is true
but so far the defense has had nothing to do with him. Allen and Brand are getting wide open jumpers.
defense is horrible period
i think they already had 4 wide open looks at the basket
No, it's the Clip Show!
worse - we never even made an effort to close out on any of them
No, it's the Clip Show!
Wow, just wow.

CP3 looks frustrated too when the TO was called

From the looks of things...
VDN didn’t try any coaching to go along with his bitter postgame rant after the Cavs loss.

Good God, what has gotten into these guys??
"look, you can find any coach you want, bring him in here and run the situation. But I don't think they are going to do as good a job as I do." -Mike Dunleavy Sr.
gosh they are a deep team
and we are a shooting team that can’t shoot, tonight
This is embarrassing....
With Chauncey out, they’ve regressed back to the first week of the season. Maddening.
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
no wonder they are 2nd best 3 point shooting team in the league,
every 3 is wide open
Mo Williams -9...
pathetic.
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
Blake is dismal on D
Jamison drops 27 last game, Brand has 7 already. If this was 5 years ago, i could understand…but come on.
And don’t get me started on Mo, he couldn’t close a door, much less close out on a shooter. If he’s not hitting, he should be sitting.
JR Smith can't come here fast enough.
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
I can't believe people are actually getting worked up about his "character"...
I mean, would they rather continue to watch THIS?
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
No, if we were up by 30...
I’d be pretty happy with the result. But the fact remains that they played like shit against the Cavs and lost, and are now playing just as shitty against a better team.
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
probably looking for offense
since no one can shoot tonight
Turner and Iguodala are both Butler's men
They arent Mo’s at all. I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Butler is leaving his man wide open every time down the court.
And we need a new coach...
because if the players aren’t going to snap out of it themselves, then it’s on the coach to tell them to cut the bullshit and re-motivate them.
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State

it's not like you can set up a post up play for him
he is a follow up dunker and rebounder, all garbage points.
Man This is not working at all.
THis is not the cause of Billups injury. They’re confidence is shot. No one can make a shot all of a sudden.
This offense is stagnant...
VDN, read a book or something, learn how to set up an offense….
enough open looks...
but nobody is hitting them

Sad that CP has to come in for a last shot.
No one else can make one
Absolutely. But he can't play 48 min.
I can’t believe they can’t score any other way.
The 76ers are good
Brand destroyed Griffin in the 1st quarter, DJ cant shoot, Foye cant drive, Mo looks slower all of a sudden. Maybe he really is injured.
We just dont get open shots
The only times we get open are for 3, and if you live by the 3, then you die by the 3.
Which is why we need an offensive system...
and no, “when the first option fails, jack up a jump shot” is not a system.
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
Our guys are making passes actually
Foye and Mo in particular have been swinging the ball, but nobody can hit.
There you go Reggie
he could have 20 rebounds with the crap they are throwing up tonight
I had a sinking feeling that it would derail our season, TBH...
and so far, looks like I’m not wrong.

Over the 76ers last eight games Brand has scored 46 points and had 40 rebounds
He played in six of those eight games for per game averages of 7.7 PPG and 6.7 RPG

Missing jumpshots happens
not playing defense is a choice….physical mistakes are ok if you are aggressive, mental mistakes are painful, especially if they happen over and over again.
That is the dumbest thing Milph has ever said...
Vinny should not even be allowed to say coach of the year, let alone be considered for it.
At least the Celtics are losing...
I hate them almost as much as I hate the Lakers, and their fans have taken to coming up with dumb trades involving us.

Ray Allen for Randy Foye?

Embarassing.
It is ok to play hard and lose, but to sleep walk through a game like this, unacceptable. There is no way Paul will re-sign with this team if they can’t put up better defensive effort and some sort of semlance on offense. They can’t shoot. Period. Mo has his head up his ass.
We can't afford to waste a valuable year of CP3 and BG...
on a horrible, overmatched coach with no system.
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
Not CP3's fault.
No offensive system.
No bigs with a post game.
No backup 3 that can shoot.

Chauncy’s 3’s covered for alot of the team’s deficiencies.
Now they are glaring.

How can he leave a group that included
Aaron Gray
Jarret Jack
Marco Belli
Trevor Ariza
and others I can’t remember last year?
It is the system and lack thereof on the Clips. Hornets had a better coach and staff with a great system for them. If they had just a few plays other than PnR and Blake post ups they’d be better.
I can already imagine Laker fans...
talking their “same old Clippers” and “Clipper curse” smack with glee.

This has to turn into a Blake Griffin and or CP3 show
Tony Parker lit this team up, and CP3 can do the same.
Mo does look pretty winded from food poisoning or whatever, but VDN needs to stick with the hot hand here.
Some "lob city" would be nice right now
Any kind of high percentage shot…
I don't know that this is DJ's fault
VDN is really icing him. 6 minutes… same as Reggie and less than Kenyon

was just thinking about this watching blake work with his back to the basket
he’s the exact opposite of kaman as far as ball control and passing out of the post
Or as I would like to think,
I’m in a different time zone, I’m just telling the future.
I'm going to Tampa on Tuesday for 3 1/2 months so i might have to watch on the feed
but hopefully live if my slingbox works, which sometimes it’s shady.
Well, I use the NBA Broadband Pass thing
But either cause I’m in Korea, or just how it is, it’s delayed by like 5 seconds..so I usually should stay off this thread even if I’m watching live..or it ruins the surprise of plays

I saw Gomes hand VDN 5 bucks as he was coming in

today i've been taught that hate is a strong word.
“i want to murder your thoughts” is better.
if paul got seriously hurt there
that would be so clipper-y
The dude is a prick
Never liked him.
He loves some guys and hates others, for no apparent reason either.
Offensively yes,
Defensively, I’ll admit I don’t like seeing Mo flying through the air, wings in full span
He is just too small to guard 2s
And isnt athletic enough to guard most modern PGs.
He is definitely an awful defender, but at least I see some effort from him.
MUCH better end to the half....
