How do you argue that they have one of the richest donors in sports?

Is that true? Not when he was with the kings?

On top of that, Jared Vanderbilt plays hard but he just doesn’t add enough to defensively to justify his minutes.

Also some of the worst turnovers at worse moments.

The defense was a much bigger issue than any clock management this year. Have to be in a position to mismanage the clock and the defense repeatedly failed to provide that chance. Not to mention missed FGs and dropped balls.

It’s rare to look at an SEC schedule and think “I might rather have Florida on there than half these teams”

Hell he made 8…he took 14. That is probably too many shots for smart at this point. This will seem like an excuse, but idk if the lakers played like a team that cared about winning the NBA Cup.

If Marcus smart is taking 8 3s he’s doing too much, unless they’re all catch and shoot 3. I watched the game, and smart was doing too much.

That’s a great break down! But for some reason no one labels butler as a free throw merchant?

I always thought lue was a good coach too, but at what point do we look at this tenure with the clippers and start to count it against him? It’s like he gets a pass from criticism bc he won a title with LeBron?

Maybe as more info comes out it will be clear who was the real problem. But most precious players don’t like Frank. Opinions on Ty seem to be positive but not entirely. Cp3 has improved every team he’s been on. clippers have underachieved this era & they were dysfunctional before CP3 came back.

Yea cause the clippers are a dumpster fire. A lot of old players hate Lawrence Frank. The news is that Ty Lue might not be the best with player relations either.
