Z-Bo has a brain and 2 eyes hasn’t he ?. A NBA player shouldn’t have the coach needing to tell him how long to go in a game. If MD had executed that play, then its the players who f**ked it up, by not setting a decent screen, then shooting half cocked.

Stian knows that it was a criticism of Dunleavy. Which is the real reason he responded the way he did.

Stian – do you have any criticisms of Dunleavy for that game? Or did you enjoy the final quarter.

Enjoy the next three years of the Zach Randolph era, loyal Zach Randolph supporters!

Just keep looking at those point and rebound totals and nothing else, and everything will be just fine. Ignorance is bliss!

I find it ironic that you link to the Bill Simmons post, which pretty much kills Z-Bo throughout.

“Players damn play hard every nite.”

If you’re saying what I think you’re saying…are we watching the same Clippers?

It is kind of interesting that our best shooter coming off screens is inbounding the ball on a play that’s perfect for him. Just stupid stuff.

You guys need to work on your reading comprehension. Read his post again.

K.A. is using that last play as the perfect example of what Zach Randolph is all about. NO, Zach Randolph is not responsible for this loss. K.A. isn’t saying that- he’s saying that Zach’s effort on that last play is a perfect summary of his game as a whole.

Lazy- Not setting a basic screen.
Selfish- Not looking for anyone once he caught the ball.
Stupid- Shooting his third airball 3 of the night with enough time to get a better look.

There is a reason this post is called “General Management”. It’s more of a criticism of Dunleavy than anything else.

Baron did say, “from here on out it’s all on me” to Bill Simmons a couple of weeks ago so he should be the leader to rally the team like LeBron did with his team at half time.

The problem is – Baron, through his own behavior, has created a big disconnect with his team mates an has no credibility as a leader. How can you possibly respect and be inspired by a guy who doesn’t even have enough pride to show up to camp in shape, who only gives effort when he feels like it, especially on D, and who won’t even sit behind the bench with the rest of the guys when he is injured?

This team’s leader needs to be Eric Gordon because he does lead by example every night. I hope he’ll be made team captain and is ready to take over that role next year. But for that to happen, Baron needs to be removed from this team because he would never stand for being usurped by a youngster.

Wow, Kevin, you’re better than this.

I know you were a Z-Bo hater and criticized the trade but then he played too well for us to rip the guy. Even you couldn’t say anything negative – he gave you no legit ammo.

Now that Zach makes a bonehead play at the most crucial time out com the knives. Bill Simmons is the worst hack of them all. And, sadly, you chime right in.

Other than Gordon, Zach is the single BIGGEST difference maker on this team (as our record with and without him proves) and to dismiss the guy’s 20/10 as basically ‘whatever’ is just ignorant.

Weak, dude. Very weak.

This game wasn’t lost on that last play – it was lost before that, and Zach had a hand in it. As did EVERYONE else. Zach might have blown the last play but this team collectively blew the whole 4th quarter, especially the last 7 minutes.

There is no need or point to hate on Zach (who wasn’t even supposed to be in uni in the first place because of his dad’s pending funeral) – unless you want to unload on everyone equally.

I agree, Zach had nothing to do with Chris Kaman throwing the ball to the other team or Dunleavy not subbing in Camby whilst Kaman was fumbling around, or the fact that Dunleavy said he is LIMITING KAMAN to 24 minutes and still kept him in the damn game making retarded plays to con tribute to coughing up our lead. Kaman was rusty therefore you don’t play him while trying to maintain your 19 point lead.

Forgot to add. That loss probably bothered every Clipper fan in the building more than it did B-Diddy. I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about what a horrible, spirit-crushing loss it was. Do you think he did?
