Organ player playing eye of the tiger. Nobody playing was even born when that movie came out (Rocky II 1979)

Blocks should negate a substitution, and buy you 2 more minutes.

And grimes just hit a big 3 and he sat

Threes should negate a substitution. And if the sub is EF it lasts for the quarter.

When u sub EF for grimes, we remove a player that’s hot and a great defender for EF who’s cold off the bench and a terrible defender. EF doesnt do well off the bench and needs time to warm up. Meanwhile the clippers are running.

Bad shot from RJ, but it goes in!

This team is so fragile…any changes in the rotation turns us from a solid team in a groove to s bad team that looks lost, especially on defense.

Classic Nerlens steal. So good.

Noel is so under rated and has that consistent mid range set shot. He’s just light in the azz. But hides it well with effort.

Yeah, old school. Same thing with Pop

Offensively you only have this type of half either when Kemba hasn’t played or when he played and gives you one of those takeover games once every 5 or 6 games. And in that case Randle and Barrett are essentially frozen out of the offense.

14 pts, 35% fg, 21% 3pt fg &; 9 rebounds....

I understand the point you are making. I responded to NYK the way I did because Evan is his whipping boy while he let's Randle off the hook...

Yes. I do let Randle off the hook because I seen what he did last year as an All-Star and I know what he's capable of but Evan Fournier? Wtf has he EVER done for us to have earned my trust or confidence as a fan?

But why did you leave off his 6.28 assists per game throughout his previous 7 games?

NYKMentality @ 1/23/2022 2:13 PM
Not happy with how Thibs pulled the backup unit for the starters while up 13. Especially while knowing we have a game tomorrow. Why not rest the starters and only pull them if LAC began to make a run?

Oh well. I can't complain too much. We're up 5 @ the half. Which is much better than we've been throughout our previous 3 Ls in a row.

If Kemba plays tomorrow I’m marking that one as a loss.

Nice guy. Terrible +/-. Ghastly.

10 players with no PG nor Taj playing. You have to give players time to see who is going to mix or to showcase for a trade. When Kemba and Rose are both available, you can't just sit 2 of Obi/Reddish/Grimes for good.
