[Vox_Populi]

Some of these shots by the Clippers aren't even open

We came out playing as hard as we could but simply have no answer for the clipper offense.

Game over. Every time the 3rd seed is within a grasp.

I disagree with that. These guys were giving up open 3s and layups from the beginning.

Wow. Somehow that worked out with Rozier banking in the three, but that play right there is indicative of our primary offensive problems - we regularly pass up closer, better looks at the rim for contested jumpers and threes. Maddening.

[JSD]

Clippers cannot continue to shoot like this... can they?

[hodgy03038]

Hayward,Horford &Morris have been awful. Goodnight.

Offense is good, defense is garbage, as usual.

They’re giving up open threes because they have no answer for the pick and roll.  Opposite guy is now having to dip down way low to stop the big, leaving his guy open in the corner.  That’s not a lack of effort.  That’s a hot team killing us.

Considering we are 36 mins into the game, I'm gonna say yes

[liam]

You have to hit open Hayward!

[Fierce1]

Unbelievable shooting by the Clips.

3-1 on the trip not bad.

They also gave up like a dozen non-fastbreak layups in the first half. That's bad, no matter how you slice it.

Just great individual offense by Lou Williams and dalinari.

Its the NBA.  A hot guy like Lou Williams has made and entire career of scoring.  Sometimes you have to give the other team credit.
