Comments on: The Clippers’ Failure Was Rooted in their Lack of Focus https://213hoops.com/the-clippers-failure-was-rooted-in-their-lack-of-focus/ L.A. Clippers News and Analysis Tue, 22 Sep 2020 10:40:31 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.3.19 By: osamu6238 https://213hoops.com/the-clippers-failure-was-rooted-in-their-lack-of-focus/#comment-5022 Tue, 22 Sep 2020 10:40:31 +0000 https://213hoops.com/?p=2373#comment-5022 is that really a stat? I thought I heard most game 7 losses overall, so I guess probably some of those might’ve been at home?

I think if you just think on the surface about who was missing home court more, you’d have to assume Denver would be the one that would be missing having the altitude advantage for their home games. But the Clips had the best home record in the entire western conference, so I don’t think you can overlook how well the Clips played at home all season, and really based on regular season record, could’ve been hurt the worst without playing on their home court in the playoffs.

I find it curious that Doc hasn’t done that. I think it’s because Doc always settles on what he thinks is the best approach and never varies from that.

But basketball is an (appreciated) distraction from it. I post/consume enough of the real shit, need to focus attention elsewhere for my own sanity. Hence this post.

So much real life shit to worry about these days…

The media is out for blood because they were so heavily invested in battle of LA and clippers as contenders and because Lebron and lakers are ratings/darlings. And now they’re branded as these chokers with shitty attitudes who nobody likes. And simply “running it back” will only exacerbate the issue.

Also the nuggets are not good.

One you come for the wings but stay for the game, the other is fast, convenient and can call on in any city. But both leave your system fast and wishing you stopped for real food.
