clippers 102, pacers 68

what the hell is going on?

Well, Bender, Pollard, Reggie, Foster, Ron and Anthony Johnson all did not play. Not too mention Jo is playing injured and ended up leaving mid way through the game. Also you have to remember with all these injuries a lot of key guys like Tinsley and Jackson who are expected to put up the big numbers to win the games have been playing a ton of minutes a long with guys who arent use to playing getting a lot of minutes. So I think fatigue is playing a huge factor. 4/5 of there Starting Lineup isnt playing. Along with our best bench players.

Did you honestly expect them to go undefeated anyways? Not too mention La Clips arent chumps either.

Yeah I saw the game... it was pretty bad. Indy was trying to move the ball around the perimeter, but just kept settling for 3s... and they didn't make a whole lotta them.

It's called the Clippers are better than everyone thinks when Brand and Maggette are healthy, and we're even missing Kaman and Kittles.

The Pacers got dominated and destroyed, and the Clippers won't likely make the playoffs, but they'll be much better than everyone expects if everyone can stay healthy.

Anyone see Livingston, I can't wait till he becomes proficient in running the offense and kicks Jaric to the bench.

Livingston is playing really well but I don't see how you could want Jaric to get kicked on to the bench, he is playing just as good if not better than Livingston.

That should be a nice combo in the future, you could have Jaric, Livingston and Kittles in a 3-guard rotation with everbody being able to play the point or SG.

He's just not that good a playmaker as a PG, he's not really a PG, he's a backup PG or SG.

it was good to see brand return to taking shots with his right hand

dominating/destroying an injury depeted indiana pacer team is not an accurate gauge on how good the clips can be/are better then you think when maggs and brand are healthy

until kittles comes back, a jaric/livingston backcourt could work... even with maggette and brand expanding their games, they still could use some ball handlers

Simmons is playing too well to be put on the bench, Kittles doesn't even have a guranteed starting spot when he returns because of how Simmons has been playing.

yeh agree, simmons is doing great. but aside from the health issue, one of the big reasons they are losing is because they are annually amongst the league's worst in TO's & assists per contest (but props to them this year in asts so far)

I don't know Jaric and Livingston have combined for 45 assists, and 29 turnovers [1.6 - 1], and before the last game where Jaric did good, it was 35 assists, and 28 turnovers [1.3 to 1].

Rick Brunson is doing a good job on assists, and so are Brand, Simmons and Maggette, but the team overall is doing decent, 24.4 assists a game to 16.7 turnovers.
