This may be true but I can’t fault them all the way for tonight.

The Clippers are coming off one of the worst loses all season by losing to the Timberwolves (no Russel yet) who were spiraling hard and lost I don’t know how many straight before that.

Any team that played the Clippers after that was going to be in for a really long night. Doc Rivers and all those dawgs were extra motivated

The one thing I said previously is he misses a lot less assignments with Dedmon and that was the case today if their was a positive defensively for Kev. 

He is also a tremendous dribbler. Hawks have a lot of guys good at dribbling

One thing I like about him is he a smart and willing passer. He can be a 20, 6 and 5 guy if he puts it together.

Cleveland down by 40 in Drummonds 1st game. Wow..

Catching the Clippers, even without Kawhi, after getting blown out by the Timberwolves is not a great situation to be in for a lottery team.

Hunter was a beast on d, but he needs to make a better percentage of those open 3s. Trae was trying to do too much, but he does have that killer mentality so I'm OK with a few forced shots. I haven't read the whole thread but I saw someone criticizing Collins... What? I wish Trae would have tried a little harder to find John during the OTs. Great win!

Collins has averaged 23.7 and 12 over his last 7 games. They were not all played against the Knicks.

We know Collins can score and rebound.

But Randle is a journeyman of sorts. He is on his 3rd or 4th team in just a few years.

A 19/9 journeyman with career 16/9 numbers?

He is Amare with a better shooting and less athletic ability. Sure, he will have good offenive nights, but he is closer to the Kevin Love’s more than the real star PF’s.

So Kevin can be as good as or better than Joe Johnson?

Come on now.

He is turning into a player that goes from team to team despite his good stats.

His game is a bit different than Joe, but he has the potential to be a 20 point 5 assist, 5 rebound guy.

Y'all complain bout our rooks.  How'd you like having ol no-impact Barrett to worry About? I know he's just back from injury but ... yeah he's disappointing.

LOL . . I picked him up on my fantasy team last night, because Cam and Kris Dunn are hurt.

Barrett is getting cut as I'm typing this.

Good news is he made 2-3 from three. The bad well....

It really comes down to the coach coaching for his job and not to develop the kids. This is terrible for the Knicks fans. It's one thing to lose this game and the kids played heavily but to lose it and you played mainly vets, ugh!

Naw, I think 16/4/4 off the pine like a fake Ginobili is as good as it will get.

Naw. 

[marco102]

You know, I was complaining about Trae's game management, but he had some good defense tonight.  He actually locked Peyton up..LMAO.

[bleachkit]

Wins just never come easy for us, even when we are playing well.

I think (???) they acquired Andre as an “asset” to net something in a S&T. We’ll see if it works.
