Kennard’s defense has much improved, but I was hoping to continue to see Mann and Kennard playing together. However, Ty doesn’t do full line changes like Doc did, and he will sub 2 players in at a time. I’m still hoping that pairing Ibaka or Isiah with Bledsoe will lead to some easier offense.

Blessing in disguise? Rest that achilles and come back better than ever.

Last year I would’ve cringed at Reggie/Luke, but Luke has been surprisingly feisty on defense this year – not a lockdown defender by any means, but I think the starters could get by w/ him there.

I agree, although I’m still not sure if my love for Mann is fondly looking back at his play off performances. Kennard could do a job as well, although has his defence improved quite enough to keep him and Reggie together?

I think it’s around the right time to make the change though.

Bledsoe going off has definitely won us a couple games already this year, but his offensive production w/ the starters is way too sporadic. I agree w/ shifting him to the bench. Maybe matching him up against 2nd-stringers would help stabilize his scoring, and I think Mann could do a decent job replicating his defensive contributions.

Yeah we discussed this on the pod, I really think Mann or Luke needs to start over Bledsoe.

I’d love to see the Clippers go big, but that’s not something Ty has done with the Clips.

Sorry we were so dour, losing Nico is just a really bad blow.

I only managed to watch the first half, but from what I saw I think Bledsoe needs to be moved to the bench soon. He doesn’t seem the quite fit with the starters, switching him with Mann should help.

Good game from Coffey too, played within himself. Great play with the pass to Hartenstein.

“I wonder if we could get away w/ going big w/ Ibaka/Zu to counter the Powell/Porzingis tandem.”

Love it.

I’m also interested in whether Winslow might be a guy to put on Luka. Has the right body and IQ to stick with him. This may be total snake oil on my part, but I feel like Terrence is about to have another crazy breakout game. Long overdue.
