Does anyone out there still want to defend Dunleavy? Anyone?

This team is uninspired and unmotivated. Its boring, stressful, and frustrating all at the same f*ckin time. This is worse than last season.
After 15 loyal years, this is the first time I was considering switching to purple and gold. Damn.
They better fix this shit soon otherwise I'm out for good.

Yes, how can you attack Dunleavy when you consider the material he has to work with>

Clips were up 74-73, then scored 5 to the Bucks' 14 in the clutch. Only 3 Clippers in double digits. 29 total points in the 2nd HALF! There have got to be some guys in the D-league, European players, or someone we get can out of retirement, who is able to put some points on the board.

Michael Redd 25 points virtually all scored when Q.Ross was in the game. When do we all own up to the fact that he isn't a stopper and with absolutely no offensive game, it is like playing 4 on 5!. I am one of the biggest Dunceleavy haters out there, but with all of the injuries not much he can do right now. They should cut Josh Powell and sign somone who can shoot the ball, they are desperate for a shooter right now.

BTW, Kaman looked great tonight, crisp passes out of the double-team, great energy and hustle...blocked a dunk attempt...can't ask for more from him

just got back to my hotel from that let down. had my best all time seat to a regular season game. 1st row in 105 (after the 2 rows of 'cush' seats), right next to the tunnel.

the team did look inspired to about the 60-60 mark.

dan dickau has no biz shooting anything more than lay ups. just run the point and get what lay ups you can dude. stick with your strong suit.

from my p.o.v., they looked like they were gonna maybe win this thing till about half way thru the 4th. Of course, I knew at some point soon, they'd start missing shots and Redd would turn it up a notch and that would be that.
Sure enough...

Jake Voshkul shgould be tethered to a seat. dude was constantly up and blocking my view.Really Annoying.

Michael Clarke Duncan looks way bigger on screen. Sure, he could still crush me, but just sayin....

Based on my seat, I couldn't resist the hand slap from Yi when it was over.

retard man...er...rental man was outside after the game acting like his retarded self.

Probly my last live Clips game for at least a month...at which point tix should be cheaper than the kick ass french dip.

First and most probably only game live into Australia for the whole season, boy whay a disappointment after taking time off work to go home and watch it (lucky i'm the boss). Got to watch from 5mins to go before half time. After that the worst lacklustre performance from both the players and coaching staff. Bucks cut the lead from 15 down to zip and the same 5 are on court no changes from the bench, stagnate offence, walk the ball up court, actually walk everywhere, no intensity whatsoever except for CK. Mobley & Thomas throwing up 3's off balance and it got worse.

How the hell did we win 4 first up, I know there are injuries afoot, but too many players there are not up to the standard required. Davis, Knight, Dickau, Ross are too one dimensional.

I won't be recording the replay tonight , thats for sure.

Missed a point, as the crowd left enmasse in the last minutes ( I thought it was the start of Darryl's mexican wave, but it was everyone wanting to get out quick due to the nightmare that was the 2nd half) was there a bit of booing coming from the crowd, when the Bucks nailed the last 6 points or so, or had everyone already left.

there was booing and rightfully so. the effort in the 2nd half wasn't there for most of the clippers (Kaman tried).

A couple things i noticed with floor seats:
1) Corey needs to stop flopping and play defense.
2) Dan Dickau should not be shooting 3's in crunch time, or any time.
3) Michael Redd took over the last few minutes, we have no players healthy who can do that and won't win any close games because of that.
4) Q Ross is a poor man's Bobby Simmons, at least Bobby could score while playing D
5) Tim Thomas has explosiveness to the goal when he wants to try, which is about 1 of every 10 times down the floor at best

I hate Dunleavy, but without a leader on the floor (PG), we don't have a chance. At the end of the 3rd quarter Knight tried to yell at the guys to get their act together, but nobody, Kaman included, even paid attention to him. I think they are defeated before the game because of this injury bug, and there is no leader stepping up. Cat tried at the beginning and i'd almost suggest he take 2 weeks off to get healthy because we are gonna lose with him now for a while anyways.

Did anybody else watch the game on TV and hear Ralph and Mike rehash Dunleavy’s argument about true shooting percentage? Basically, since Tim Thomas shoots so many threes, the crazy amount that he misses actually balances out because threes represent more two-point baskets in total value. I don’t know about anyone else, but that little rationalization didn’t do too much to make our pathetic scoring tolerable for me.

Is this team cursed? On paper, this is a very good team if everyone is healthy.
On another note, why does the Clippers make so many careless mistakes, and shoot bad shots (Mobley is a ball hog!!! Stop shooting if your having a bad game!!!I hate you!!!AHHHHH!!!!!)? They should be better than this since they are the 3rd oldest team in the league.
Man oh man, this team makes you taste a lil bit of victory and gives you hope(05-06 season) only to put you back down again.
