He also really tries not to be a homer on calls, which I appreciate. I was lukewarm on him at first, but he’s grown on me. He’s def better than many other teams pbp guy.

The overturned call of Jones fouls on DeRozan late in the 4th :  

Call got overturned Clips favor.
Siemens called it an “underwhelming review”.  
He should have been ecstatic. 

So he wants Clips challenge to be unsuccessful ?

Even the challenge by the Kings on Zu dunk on Murray’s clear blocking foul – he called it a “close call” when Murray was not set on the Zu jump  
Guess what the refs decided on 😂

Siemens is consistently soft. And this should not be the identity of the Clips.

Worse during Lakers games, he takes on to be the PR Director of LeBron James in the Clips telecast network!!

I’ve mentioned this before, but I believe that Kawhi checked out against Denver in the bubble because he knew we couldn’t beat the Lakers and didn’t want to be humiliated by LeBron. The bubble was also miserable so he just wanted to go home. For this reason I won’t be surprised if they shut him down near the end of the season if our fate looks sealed. I think we need to prioritize getting out of this season with no major injuries to anyone to preserve the few assets we have—even the aging ones.

As for the Clips, the game was really lost in in the first half with very sloppy defensive rebounding, a poor job getting back on defense and not getting out to deny corner/sideline 3s.

Harden, Zu and Kawhi all looked great and nearly won this game. That’s encouraging for the Clips.

Batum was good, but didn’t do enough offensively to provide that additional scoring punch needed from role players.

Dunn had a much better offensive game, but defensively I thought his matchups vs Zion weren’t that effective. His attempts to swipe the ball don’t really work against a guy as strong as Zion and it would’ve been better to have played straight up defense and take your chances on him missing.

Coffey was 4/8 from the field but a -20 on the floor. Defensively, he continues to be viewed as a buffet by opposing teams. Making him the first guy off the bench and having him as an on/off sub for Kawhi just doesn’t work. That first guy off the bench should be Bogdanovic, who has way more talent than Coffey.

Brian Shaw is not a good in game coach and his decision to take Kawhi out for Coffey for a few mins in the latter part of Q4 proved disastrous. The lead went from -4 to -9 in the 2 min that Kawhi was off and Coffey was on. Really, what was he thinking? Yes, the bench is weaker without KPJ or Mann, makes Norm’s absence even bigger.

There should’ve been minutes for Kobe Brown and Jordan Miller in this game.

The Clips have to win tomorrow vs Miami and also beat ATL (Terance Mann revenge game incoming) and salvage something out of this road trip to have a shot to keep pace with Minnesota and GSW.
