No James White this game, wonder if that means he's getting cut.
Why is Blake Griffin still in the game? If I were a Clips fan I'd be wondering that.
lmfao at JVG!! "who is older, KT or the man sitting behind KT??"

Because their coach is an a**hole.

JVG was also teasing KT earlier about getting to the weight room.

Here's the crazy part. In the beginning of the season we looked like one of the best teams in the league and were playing team ball. That was WITH Melo, JR, etc. Melo was playing great team ball. He was defending with EFFORT and making smart passes. The entire team was passing well and defending.
I have absolutely no idea what happened to that team but logic would dictate that with the same players and the same coach..we should be able to rediscover that IDENTITY.
I don't know what our identity is now.
Our main go to sets were Melo on the block iso and high pick and roll. In the event that both of those were denied, we had our hot 3 pt shooting to save them. Teams adjusted to the high pick and roll, our shooting has disappeared, and Melo is injured. The team may not be able to go back to how they played in the beginning of the season (god I hope im wrong).
Assuming Melo comes back his healthy dominant self.
I agree that teams had adjusted to our pick and roll.
?: If teams can shut down OUR pick and roll. Why is it that on D it seems like we can't shut down other teams running the same exact play?
Probably because Woodson believes switching cures all defensive problems. To be fair though I have seen Tyson trap the pick and roll several times before getting injured and it worked well.

The pick and roll shouldn't even be a play that can really and truly be shut down. It's just a matter of picking your poison.
So the league figured out that letting Chandler catch alley oops all game was probably not wise. That then puts the onus on Felton to either get to the hoop and the rest of the team to move off the ball and make teams pay for keying in on Chandler.
So far we haven't done that during this rough stretch which seems odd to me considering we have what many knowledgeable basketball people agree is one of the best, if not THE best scorers in the league.
I guess we either adjust to the league adjusting or we fail and flame out.
Blake Griffin is giving me that Rudy Gay vibe.

Well, at least we kept trying- not the 20pt blow out people were expecting. Hope we've got some gas in the tank left for the Jazz game, don't want to go home on a 5 game losing streak.
