its exactly what we need it still baffles me how EG gets to the line at will and gets HACKED yet he doesnt get the calls when Corey Maggette would just flail his arms in the air and scream and he would get damn FTs……
damn it seens like we havent played in forever….
im tired of not being able to put together a nice winning streak
hope we start a new one…

The teams we’ve beaten have a combined winning percentage of .366… Basically, we’ve had the easiest schedule imaginable so far and we’re 8 – 11. If we can’t start winning games against marginal teams like Houston, the playoffs are a pipe dream.

We’ve only had two wins against teams over .500, OKC (barely) and Denver… In the same time, we’ve lost 5 games to teams under .500… We’re not even playing as well as our less than stellar record would indicate…. Basically, we suck so far.

Is this a good excuse not to be fired or it is good excuse to give Blake more time to heal.

Yeah, I guess Dunleavy is resting Blake until January. Someone told me it provides him a good excuse because the Clippers have a hard schedule coming up this month.

The 2nd half adjustment by Adelman was amazing, it was like when Shawn Marion was guarding Cassell.

I remember KA picking Houston as his second-favorite team…I can see why. In a lot of ways they’re the polar opposite of the Clippers: A scrappy collection of players that don’t look good on paper, but who fit together and fit the team’s system. They’re built by a very smart front office that makes good personnel decisions that are a part of an overall strategy.

Someone tell me that isn’t the antithesis of the Clippers over the last few years.

I read that Blake is expected out into January now this morning….damn.

I missed the game, but I gather that the Clippers played *pretty* well from the posts this morning… although sounds like Butler’s inability to capitalize on Brook’s covering him cost us. Hopefully when we get the rest of our guys back we’ll be able to win games like this—

Despite the barrage of 3pt shooting, we still could have won this game. We just shot ourselves into a horrible slump in the 4th quarter. No offensive production whatsoever.

It just seems like, when we get down by 4+ points late in the game, there’s this automatic reaction to force 3 point shots whether they’re good looks or not. Dunleavy needs to drill it into them to attack the basket late in the game regardless of how many points we’re down. Especially last night, height advantage in every position and we’re settling for jump shots?

C’mon get to the rim and make them commit fouls.

Absolutely right. You double down on Dwight Howard, not Louis Scola, Chuck Hayes or Carl Landry. I hate Dunleavy’s defensive schemes almost as much as I hate his offensive schemes.

Yea, coaching does make a diffrence. When Gordon is out we need a stopper. what happened to Marty Collins,other then Gordon Marty plays great defense. scorers come and go but defenders win championships. Dunleavey needs to make better moves.
