Is it critical.....or just observation of what is actually going on? I expected rough, but this is painful.

feel free to tune out for a few seasons then. clearly you don't understand what "rough" is.

this might be the worst team in the league. that usually comes with pain.

 

[bxb]

He’s on the bench. Foul trouble. Can’t shoot if he’s not in the game.

Sharpe our savior?

honestly our savior would be getting to the free throw line n getting some freebies to settle the troops

 

[BlazerBeav]

Sharpe needs to start

Eventually, sure. But for now he’s going to get a ton of looks being the top option with the second unit.

 

[Freshtown]

As usual, I see no discernible plan on offense.

let’s hope that this is Chauncey’s last year.

 

[KingSpeed]

Simons preseason HOFer

 

[bxb]

HUGE 3 from brogdon!

30seconds on the clock...

great vet play we got the 2-for-1

can salvage an ATROCIOUS quarter.. lotta damage control here possibly.. solid execution

 

[TBpup]

by far the biggest problem in the offense, far as i can see, is 0 fga's for ayton.. but its early

Not a PnR with Ayton or Williams let. They are both tremendous lob threats, but tough to get a lob when there is no chance of getting one.

Camara in before Murray and Walker. Is this an indication of the depth chart?

We talked about that on one of the podcasts. I thought he would be in front of Murray for sure and possible Walker as he just did more things all over the floor.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Yikes scoot Henderson isn’t as advertised smh

 

[Idog1976]

Was that a miscommunication with Ant, like who dropped the ball there? Sharpe was on him but a screen did come so was that on Ant?

 

[TBpup]

Good read from Ant out of the double-team.

 

[MickZagger]

I still think we’ll be better than a lot of people think.

Who is being critical NOW?

 

[LayneStaley]

People are freaking out in quarter 1 of game 1 of 82? Shocking. Considering we are super young and half these guys are new to each other I think it could be a lot worse.

 

[AldoTrapani]

I still think we’ll be better than a lot of people think.

Hell no. This team is not good

 

[bxb]

Yikes scoot Henderson isn’t as advertised smh

the truth is no league in the world has rim protection like the NBA... n that block Zubac got on Scoota spooked him a bit..

Gotta give him a lil time to adjust.. there's no Rudy Gobert's or Wembanyama's in the G-League to practice against..

 

[KingSpeed]

I still think we’ll be better than a lot of people think.

Agreed

 

[Shaboid]

Getting dunked on A LOT

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

let’s hope that this is Chauncey’s last year.

Right now I'm thinking "let's hope that this is Chauncey's last month".

I can, to a degree, understand no huge offensive scheme with Dame as things were kinda set how they worked. But you have a ton of new guys and you still have no offensive plan?

No movement, minimal passing.

I also expected better defense but you are proving to be absolutely an Excellent tanking coach.

 

[KingSpeed]

Simons/Sharpe should’ve been our backcourt last year (Dame traded) and def this year.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Sharpe needs to start

Move Simons and start Sharpe.

 

[TYDame]

Sharpe need to start

 

[bxb]

the bench unit looks good!

 

[illmatic99]

ant haters in shambles

 

[KingSpeed]

I wonder if Brett Brown would be good for our team.

 

[MickZagger]

Yea Westbrick is still my least favorite player. Such a douche.

 

[KingSpeed]

Move Simons and start Sharpe.

Start Simons/Sharpe

 

[illmatic99]

Who is being critical NOW?

that is a realistic expectation for the season for a team so young and inexperienced.

 

[KingSpeed]

that is a realistic expectation for the season for a team so young and inexperienced.

Ask Ant if he thinks that. You’re being overly critical of the roster.

 

[TYDame]

Why are the old Clippers plays faster than the young kids?

 

[LayneStaley]

Camara in before Murray and Walker. Is this an indication of the depth chart?

Considering Murray sucks I think it is.
