That’s a good stat on Davis . . . “37.0 percent shooter on long-2s and a 28.2 percent shooter from beyond the arc”. I knew about the threes, but I didn’t know the stat on the long twos.

Obviously Davis can not shoot a long jumper. The big question is, “why has he been doing it so often anyway over the last two seasons?” The only possible answer I can think of is that he does it on purpose to screw over the team and teach them a lesson for having the audacity to expect him to run a structured offense andremember set plays and play defense. I really do think that’s the reason. I think the guy is a real dog with exceptionally bad innate character.

Davis’s horrible defense is often overlooked because it’s not as easily quantifiable as his horrible jump shooting. He was the one who was suppose to be guarding Beno Udrih in the last game, and Udrih went off for a career night. I’ve noticed that same scenario happening numerous times over the last two seasons. Opposing point guards often have super nights when playing against Davis.

That’s one of the reasons he wants to play a free flowing style offense . . . because that means he doesn’t play defense (which he can’t play anyway, but in a free flowing offense it’s not called for).

His shot selection has improved lately but his defense has gotten even worse.

Davis has to go. He’s toxic to the team. He was bellyaching in the paper yesterday about the team not having any heart. Hah! What a joke! Who does he think he’s kidding with his finger pointing? He’s the one he’s not putting in any defensive effort.

What exactly is Mardy Collins role? Airballing 6 foot layups and clanking straightaway threes into the side of the backboard? Seriously who decided to pay mardy Collins to play basketball?

Nice work, D.J. These are dark days, Clipper-wise.

Here’s a nice thought? How about the Clippers draft Eric Bledsoe and let him be the point guard of the future? Baron can take Mardy Collins’ role.

Thank you guys for all the kind words. It’s not always easy for us watching these games either, but knowing we have a place where our work will be enjoyed and where we can have good basketball discussions with you all makes all the difference in the world.

So a big thank you right back at you guys.

i was at the game thanks to $200 seats i got for $20 on stubhub but even then they were a bit overpriced to sit through that game. it’s sad when i’m running faster to get a beer than baron davis is running back on defense after a missed shot. the clippers played like they didn’t care and it was contagious. all the fans want is for the clippers to play hard. that’s why it’s frustrating for the fans. this was a game where eric gordon needs to take over because he seemed to be the only one who was playing hard. i feel bad for the bloggers who have to watch every game for the rest of the year.

Gotta hand it to you Kevin and DJ, keeping the torch lit in these darkest of dungeons we find ourselves in must be incredibly hard. I know many of us love the passion and commitment you guys put into the blog and I just wanted to personally thank you for not giving up like the rest of the team has.

I was kind of partial to the Showtime Lakers. Kareem, Worthy, Magic, Woolridge, Scott….those were good times and fun games to watch.

But I absolutely hate Kobe. I couldnt see myself cheering for the Lakers unless Magic somehow built a time machine and transported his 21 year old self to the future.

I won’t guys. I’m simply frustrated on how this year ended for the clips. I’d rather be a clip than a faker cus that’s what laker fans are. Lou u gotta admit that when kaman is in his day he can score on any nba center.
