Beal won't be needed - until the playoffs, when Harden disappears, and teams are triple teaming Kawhi

My fear every night is that younger teams are going to try to just run the team out of the gym. Let's see what Scoot and Shaedon try to do. Also Denny I think has always defended Kawhi well.

Couldn't watch the game 100% all the way through but only 79 points scored? :why: This team and Ty Lue is fools gold. Half of these guys are washed. Bogdan, CP3, need to hang it up. Zu looks like he regressed and Kawhi is whatever at this point. I don't think these guys care one bit and Lue should be investigated.

I’ll tell you what’s not going to happen this season…Me staying up till 1:30 to be confounded. On top of that did they push back tip off to 11? :pachaha:

I’ll check these nikkax out during east coast swings & occasional mountain time games

Terrible performance. Maybe ill check back in 10-20 games in. Lue crying that they needed Beal is pathetic. You had Norm.

This team is too old for that annual 10-20 games bullsh*t from Lue. I get trying to figure out if Beal or Collins fits better in the starting lineup, but other than that, Lue should have this thing figured out already. Way too many old heads to motivate to play hard every night. You know me, give Cam Christie and/or Kobe Sanders a shot. They have nothing to lose anyway. Our "win now mode" is actually "first round exit mode."

Ha, not the team, I meant me. If they win one get blown out the next I don't need to watch that shyt every night. What's going to happen when they play a good team? Rockets going to beat them by 40?

Doesn't matter whose out there if they're not playing hard. If the kids are going to try put em out there. It's not like this is a championship contending team and if it is they haven't shown us that.

if beal is out again the next game it would be insane to not start collins. small sample size 4 games in so you expect some extreme numbers especially getting blown out twice but even so 5 out of the 6 most used clipper 5 man lineups to start the season have a net of -20 or worse. thats almost brooklyn nets level bad.

Unless it was a money thing letting Norm go was a misstep. He wasn’t great in the offs but neither has Beal been since 2017

Could we be involved in two scandals :francis:

I don't know fellas. This is just me talking, but in my mind this is where Lue's 10-20 game sample size always comes into to play and only wanting to play vets. Its all about poker over the summer and no hint of any coaching until the ball is rolled out for first game of the season. Then you rely on vets cause its less time consuming since you have to really dig and apply polish to develop a youngster or two. In other words, more time for poker. Hopefully this doesn't turn into nothing. Meanwhile our fans sitting in The Wall were chanting "FBI, FBI, FBI" at Portland on Sunday. Go figure:unimpressed:

To quote the great Adam Silver, "The appearance of impropriety is not proof of impropriety."

Lue wasn't brought in to coach up youngsters. Mann, Coffey, Zu, Norm all these guys developed while Lue was the coach.

lol called the Ty Lue thing, he's been to a lot of public events with Billups, etc. This doesn't mean he was involved though and its unfair to bring his name up unless you have concrete proof.

A win is a win. Good games from Harden & Kawhi. I think they're going to be gassed again post all star break. Our defense is awful. OKC up next
