I hope to see 12 minutes of Jordan Walsh in the 4th.

[Atzar]

Gonna be a loooong film session tomorrow.

I don't think you do a film session on this. Just throw it out and move on.

I'd agree if I felt this was just a matter of makes and misses.  That's not what I'm watching though.  We cannot crack their defense.  Everything has been difficult and contested, with the exception of a handful of (missed) Horford threes after he hurt his finger.  We're largely getting the results we deserve.  This is a failure in execution and physicality that IMO needs to be pointed out on tape.

HAVE to look at the 1st quarter at least. See where they got off on the wrong foot. I thought there was too much iso and no ball movement.

[Vermont Green]

Hard to believe that the third period was worse than the first 2/4. They went over six minutes without scoring. What is up with this team?

[jpotter33]

KG would be questioning their heart

Yes 5ey folded far too easily, clippers getting all the 50 50 balls and deflections

I think second chance points were 18-3? That's a hustle stat.

Yeah, this is a worrying loss, because it's not just like the Clippers are on fire out there. They're far from it - 46% overall and 30% from three.

They've just simply out-hustled, out-worked, and out-executed us. We looked overwhelmed by their defense from the very start.

While we're a very, very high-level team when complete, when we're missing one or more of our starters - particularly Porzingis - our level of play seriously drops. And we're obviously way too reliant on the three - to a pretty big fault. Feels like we're going to need KP to be healthy for virtually all of the playoffs to reach our goals, and we won't be able to survive missing him for more than a game or two throughout the playoffs. We also aren't going to be able to survive these kinds of shooting droughts.

[Vermont Green]

A whole quarter of garbage time. Ugh.

[Yuckabuck33]

With KP on the bench, why are we just seeing Queta now Joe? Could have used some energy earlier.

82 game season?

[ozgod]

Haven’t been able to solve the Clippers defense all, esp. in this 2nd half they been forcing turnovers as we have gotten increasingly desperate and made higher risk passes

I get it's a long season. But to have a team constructed like this and not score in a span of 6:30+ is absolutely insane.

[DocomoCelts]

They should really refund the fans for this. Just absolutely gross.

[ozgod]

Every time we miss we are very slow to get back and they get a dunk at the other end

[liam]

Where's Walsh???

[smicker16]

 This is the most timeouts Joe has ever used and our worst game in a longggg time. I hope he doesn’t take another one this year if this is what it is results in!!

[Phantom255x]

Yeah we're not shooting well but the defense has also been abysmal. It just looks so easy for the Clips.
