That’s what I keep saying. Yea score twenty that’s awesome but giving up 30 (or 68) is a problem. I’d rather have a Ben Wallace who scores zero and defends the paint.

We allowed 68pts in the paint. Kaman is too soft & can’t defend(I mean don’t want to defend) We are being fooled by his sweet shooting.

Frustrating to watch these first three games only because the Clips had a chance to win all three of them. Breakdowns in the 4th quarter are typical of a team trying to gel and become a cohesive unit, so I’ll take the losses with that in mind. On the bright side, this year’s team is here to play, Kaman’s looking sharp, Baron directing the offense well (not shooting so well.. yet..), EG is even more efficient, Thornton crashing the boards, Camby back to his weak-side shot blocking days, bench players hustling.. all in all a lot of positives to take with the first three losses (probably four with a hungry Dallas team tonight.. lol). I believe it’s only a matter of time before the hard work pays off and them L’s start turning to W’s… hang in there fellas. ^_^v

Loved the video breakdown.

I agree with Clipper Jeff… Kevin shows holes in the defense and offense here which the clips will have to improve upon…but it’s too early to get worried, they’ve also shown a lot of promise in these games and have an opportunity to put it all together.

Forget about draft picks, the best thing that could come from the Clippers having a bad season this year would be (hopefully) a new coach. Then we’d be in business.

Great video breakdown, especially re: defensive lapses. Frustrating but edifying.

We saw on the play where Gordon had to cover Boozer on a switch, Gordon made the cardinal mistake of not seeing the ball. The result was a pass to Boozer that could easily have been intercepted if Gordon were alert to the ball.

There were also two plays where Kaman showed really well to foil a pick and roll, but then rotated back to the middle at a jog rather than quickly, leading to two Utah scores as they reversed the ball and found Kaman’s assignment alone under the rim.. It’s not just technique that’s hurting them defensively. There’s a lack of hustle that’s also apparent. Good interior passing teams like Utah will tear you apart.
