Unfortunate injury, but we have to keep playing and keep being good.

He was good in that 1st Kings matchup & he’s more than proved his worth so far so I’m good with him starting Sunday.. + for all we know, Bev might play

If Bev can’t go, I’d roll with the same lineup though.. Issues didn’t start til the 3rd, after a good 1st & I feel it was more Kawhi forcing the issue than any other player.. They gotta keep Luke involved though, that’s for sure, & that falls on Kawhi & Ty.. Another early start, short handed & against a team that likes to run, are all bad signs though lol

In Brooklyn it would be totally unfair to blame Kyrie’s wild night on Reggie, they lost because Brooklyn is a great offensive team that got the right hot shot-making down the stretch. Obviously they didn’t win in Cleveland so Reggie contributing nothing was kind of glossed over. And tonight even though it was his most actively bad game in a long while I don’t think his errors cost the Clippers the game any more than Kennard’s bad foul on Edwards or Kawhi’s turnover with 35 seconds left or the Celtics getting super hot in the third quarter.

But he has now played 35/23/21 minutes in the team’s last 3 games without really making any sort of positive contribution in any of them, and not because he’s playing the right way but has gone cold but because of questionable effort and outright poor decision-making.

I wrote in the recap, which I just put up, that he’s earned some leeway to have bad games and stay in the rotation. But I would have gone away from him earlier in the 3rd tonight and probably not brought him back (maybe for a couple minutes to start the 4th for rotation but definitely not down the stretch), and I’d at least consider starting Mann/Luke or Lou/Mann (don’t think you can start Lou/Luke) Sunday to try and find the right balance with PG out, though Reggie would still get minutes off the bench for me in that scenario.

Seeding isn’t that important due to the Rona. But, everyone on the team has a valuable role to play. Time to get better. Injuries are part of the game. Have to adapt. It is hard, but we will figure it out. Doc is not here. We can do it. Finally, let the MDs deal with PG13’s injury. Trying to guess using WebMD info just makes my docs roll his/her eyes.
