I think any deal involving KP is going to involve Brunson. They're going to have to overpay to get rid of him. Portland might be a little more enticed by that deal since they would add another ballhandler who still plays on his rookie deal next season. But honestly, I don't see a ton of great options.

Agreed on this. Bayern is on the verge of buying him. It also hurts that Aaron Long suffered a bad injury. He was at least adequate.

You're setting yourself up for disappointment.

I think that's all you can ask for at this point. Just keep having more shots than cases for as long as possible.

So just re-watched the extended highlights and I knew Ream was bad watching live, but he was way worse 2nd viewing. I say it all the time, but I have no idea what type of blackmail Ream has on the previous 3 or 4 coaches to keep getting the amount of run he does. Chris Richards is going to have to take that spot or we are in trouble. I'll own up to the CP call I made. I thought he looked tired in his last 3 or 4 Chelsea matches and he looked tired here as well. I know he wasn't getting much of the ball, but Gio was dealing with the same issues and was very influential when he was in. Glad he came through in the clutch and buried the PK.

Hahaha fuck Mexico!!

That’s a fucking yellow. Good grief, ref.

Weston!!!!

Wrong thread

Just my opinion, CP hasn’t made much even with the touches he’s had. His passing has also been poor. He looks tired to me.

CP and Dest have been invisible outside of one run. How is that possible? Gio has been our best player but Brooks has been great as well. I’d like to see Aaronson for CP if he continues to be quiet.

There you go, gio! What a crazy sequence that all was.

Reddick would have also been a nice help. Sucks he was injured.

My opinion might be unpopular but I don’t know that you can just assume you sign THJ and that he’s here for years to come. If you do that, you are basically committed to running it back with the same roster. I think they need to dump Richardson when he opts in and see what they can get before committing to THJ. I’d honestly try to get Reddick on the cheap over THJ if there are decent FA options. I will also say, I think you have to take a hard look at using Brunson in a trade to get a quality starter and I thought that before the trade deadline. I was afraid the playoffs were going to hurt his value but surely some teams will still greatly value that production at that price. And finally, please for all that is good remember that games at the beginning of the season count just as much as the end. This team, even before covid, got off to an absolutely shitty start again and it really hurt us. Imagine if we had been the 3rd seed playing the blazers instead of having the clippers tank to play us.

Not saying anything that isn’t obvious, the role players are simply going to have to shoot better. It’s that simple.

Let’s make history today, everyone. Be great!

Which part do you take issue with specifically? It seems like you feel coaching decisions are above reproach for some reason.

I’m not real sure what else there is to say after 6 games. Luka is going to have to be better than he was tonight and the supporting cast is going to have to shoot. It’s really that simple. I have zero fucking clue what our rotations are. Dwight plays a hell of a game last game then gets only 7 minutes and maxi gets 21 minutes with a grand total of 0 points? I believe this was the game to knock them out and I believe the chance is gone. I predicted clippers in 7 and I think I’m, unfortunately, going to be right. Really a lot of questions to answer from all aspects of the team and organization.

I get that the clippers defense is good, but you cannot waste 4-5 seconds every possession with the ball in the hands of maxi or doe doe.

Luka is 0-5 from 3. That shit is about to change.

Why has Powell only gotten 6 minutes? Seems like he should have seen way more than he has.

Agreed. I hope we can get him in the off-season after we knock their ass out.

Timmay!!! Is Kawhi hurt??

Agreed. If it’s there then fine, but no need to force it every damn time.

This game is going to come down to DFS. He has got to hit these open shots when he gets them or actually find a decent outlet without turning it over. The clips have shown you that they are fine letting him beat them.
