Porter earlier cooked Morris in the second quarter. How can he guard Porter in the 4th. Morris is parked in rainbow corner on offense even then, hitting bricks usually. Expecting him to cut, go for loose balls, fight for rebounds – which are Mann (+5 this game) attributes aside from hitting shots, are unrealistic for MM.

If Lue wants Mann out because of his personal principles, why not play Batum (+10 this game) instead. Or Roco.

The rebound by KCP last 20 seconds would have been Clips had Mann been in the position of MM since Mann will not ball watch at that time. MM was within reach of KCP, Mann (in Mook’s stead) will contest for the ball, which is his game DNA. I trust that Morris is trying his best inside the game, but there are other benched players who can do better for the team.

Start of OT, Morris got “lost” inside the shaded lane (he was the only one without a player to cover) even KL pointed to Murray when he brought down the ball at half court, leading to Murray’s killer 3 – momentum, momentum, momentum.

Season is about to end and many know what MM brings and Lue cherishes it so much at the expense of more capable players. Is Lue betting against the Clips ? The league needs to look into this. Ballmer got rid of Doc who has Trezz. Now Lue got Mook. There is still time to make a coaching change. Look at Atlanta. KL, Plumlee, Mann, Russ’ games are so wasted on Lue’s favoritisms. Rinse and repeat game after game.

I’m beginning to suspect Ty Lue is on that same boat.

It’s too late to trade him, but I hope the front office John Walls Mook for the rest of the season. You have to remove the clear liabilities so that Ty can never be able to use him.

It’s too late to hire Quinn Snyder but I’d prefer to go with a young mindful coach or hire Kenny Atkinson or Dan Craig. I want a coach that would look at the best interest of the team, not the individuals. Also, no more pampering these athletes. This training staff has been a complete joke. If Kawhi and PG wanted to play so bad when they were told to sit out, last time I checked, they should have the last say of what to do with their bodies.

Pistons do it because they are the gooch of the NBA AKA no man’s land. In between a dick and a a’hole. No stars want to go there, so they get a fringe one. ‘Ol steel nerves himself General George.

We do it because we get 2 vets that contribute and make sense for Kawhi’s window (yeah unfortunately they are also older than pick your deity) and a young guy who really hates Lebron
