According to Tomer Azarly, Bamba’s been doing 5 on 5 scrimmages in practice. I’m excited for him to soak up some of the Kai Jones minutes and provide a different look from Zu with his three point shooting.

Jeff Van Gundy : 7 Stars
Biggest single game changer.
Clips defense is their catalyst season to date leading to twin digit leads most of the games or all of the games ?
Never imagined Harden being so successful as the Sultan of Swipe under Van Gundy.
KPJ now doing his D share and have been good these past two games, hope the trend continues. Coffey, Batum, Mann, Dunn and others, total team effort. Teams should fear their pass, fear the swipe, fear their dribble penetration, fear the swarm, fear the gang rebound, fear the D!

The team offense now featuring cuts!!
A welcome new surprise this season.
Got a kick out of Zu’s weak side cut this game 🙂
All Star Stormin’ Norm wasn’t fooling anyone with his addition by subtraction statement.
Read that Harden is the only player in the NBA this season averaging more than 5 TOs per game, hoping he can limit his risky table settings for the team.

Credit to Jim Jackson making the right comment on the wrong call by refs on the alleged kick ball by Zu late in the game.

Characteriscally, Sieman refused to take a stand on this and copped out – fearful to take a stand for the Clips.

He pales compared to other teams’ play by play homie guys. He under Ballmer’s payroll ??

But for 50/50 calls, he’s not silent to give opponents the benefit of the doubt time and again.

Props to JVG and Harden. The defense is awesome and I feel like Harden is playing the best defense with the most effort of his career.

On the “hesitation” of Mann. He shoots when he’s open, but drives or swings when a defender closes out. It looks like he’s not confident in getting the shot off before the defender reaches him. I don’t think his stroke is that slow though. His looks are definitely not as wide open as when he played with PG and Kawhi.

Can we stay away from the phrases “give flowers” and “out of pocket” on this page? I cringe every time I hear that on player podcasts and now that I see it in print, my eyes burn.

The only way this season goes into the toilet if Harden and Norm get injured.

We have the making of a balanced team, esp. this defensive team is a nice surprise.

Isn’t it great to not see PG and Russ do something that makes us scratch our heads and say WTF!!!!????

Something to be said about not putting all of your eggs into a basket of two Max players that play the same position.

The question during these close games — do you drink during the game or after? or both?

But, all seriousness, Harden cannot play long minutes in Nov/Dec. He is a geezer. We need to use some of that youth.

Not a chance the Nets do that. They can get actual assets for those guys.

I don’t think KPJ’s good has even been that good for the Clippers. It’s flashy, certainly, but not all that effective. He just doesn’t take efficient shots and the process on offense is horrid.

Terance might be a bit better than this but the offense is really, really bad
