Its kind of hard to blame Baron for the lack of success of the free flowing offense when Kim Hughes is on his 3rd month of being a head coach and half the team has been traded away with the guys we got in return looking forward to being free agents in the offseason

Shortly before Dunleavy was pushed out as coach, Davis was spending a lot of time criticizing Dunleavy’s system and saying he wanted to play in a more free flowing style of offense (meaning forget the set plays Dunleavy was calling and forget Dunleavy’s demands to play defense). There was a lot of this criticism like this from Davis in the paper. Dunleavy was asked about it in the paper and reponded that teams with the free flowing style never advance far in the playoffs. That is true, and one big reason it’s true is that free flowing teams play terrible defense.

Davis persisted in calling for a more free flowing stye, and now that’s basically what the Clippers are doing. The result is predictable. The defense is terrible.

Teams are blowing out the Clippers on a regular basis. The Spurs (hardly a free flowing team themselves) blew the Clippers out by thirty points. Then last night the Hornets (who were playing on the road in the second night of a back to back and with several significant injuries to key players) ran away from the Clippers in the fourth quarter.

The Clippers are far worse now than they were before switching to the more free floating/no defense style of play Davis demanded and got.

The main weak link in the defense is Davis himself. He does not defend the perimeter. He doesn’t make any effort at it. Opposing guards are taking wide open threes as well as penetrating undefended into the paint.

I would’ve rather seen Kaman go than Camby. They took the heart of the team! He was there day in and out. Dunleavy’s efforts to complete a team got him fired. He created a good team all they needed now is an allstar and a real coach (which they could’ve gottten. ) (i dunno about now)
(Griffin, Kaman, Camby, Gordon, Davis, Butller That’s a playoff team there! What happened!!)I’m starting to believe that there is such thing as the Clippers curse!
Just another frustrated fan.

Really, really good. Hopefully we’ll have some stuff for Clipperblog in the next few days “scouting” out some of the best players in the draft.

Not sure which I’d pick, depressing or infurating?

How does the top third of the first round draft picks look this year?

It’s a shame the Hornets shot so well – would have been nice to get a win as sort of a “reward” for everyone (including Baron).
