Yeah like the first 4 minutse of the quarter the team had its worst lineup out, then with this small ball lineup Holiday took SIX straight TERRIBLE shots.

This is fucking unreal. Holiday and Evans just took like 8 straight shots in a row between them. WHAT ARE YOU DOING PELICANS?

They just completely took it out of the hands of Davis to give Evans and Jrue a million terrible looks on drives and it is completely unconscionable and I am sick to my stomach.

I'd have to watch the replay but I believe there was 12 straight pick and rolls where Davis was left open at the key because two people went to guard Holiday/Evans on the drive where they never made the pass back and tried to force a bad layup.

The team also completely abandoned the three point shot in the fourth quarter. Only tried 1(Technically 2 but one was an end of the shotclock Evans heave from 26 feet -- only 1 set play for Anderson) before the game was basically over.

everyone on the bulls got hot and the Redick/Craford/Paul/Barnes have bricked everything. Griffin/Jordan having problems getting into the paint and scoring.

like hinrich started actually making 3s, Mirotic is playing well, Aaron Brooks is making shots.

Why are so many people consistently tricked by this Clippers team? Paul has been on the Wade trajectory for a while, Blake is great at what he is great at but is mediocre elsewhere (and he doesn't even seem to like jumping all over anymore), and the rest of the team is an assortment of 1-way players (Knicks style baby!). Plus, Doc Rivers is the most overated coach in any of the 4 Major American Sports + UEFA Soccer of my lifetime (closely edging out Tony Dungy).

Also the clips game provided Doc Rivers incredulous face 2.0 so I can't be mad

The Clippers have looked good in maybe 1 game all year from start to finish. They should really be in the running for best record in the league but w/e. Doc the GM is just something else.

Why the heck did Jimmy Butler play 45 mins of a game where they blew out their opposition?

Blake has apparently been injured from Day 1. CP3 has been ~All Star level but that isn't cutting it because he's barely shooting the ball. Doc's biggest mistake line up wise may be not just giving Reggie Bullock big minutes. The Barnes/Redick combo has been a 2-way disaster.

because they didn't, they were down by 14 at one point and only had a 10 point lead at one point late in the 4th

I agree that he shouldn't have played so many minutes but it's not like he was out there with a 20 point lead.

What's Blake's injury? I haven't heard about that... They look super disjointed, plus Barnes is a black hole both offensively and defensively, and Redick has not been very good
