Series Thread: LA Clippers vs Utah Jazz

[LAD]

Just because they were old does not means they were not productive.

It means that they weren't better than this team, which is what I said.

That's not true. Just because you have an old team means you can't be better than a team with a younger roster? That is stupid logic

Well this is true to some degree. But with the team we're talking about I can't believe you believe that those old men were better.

Underachieving and cursed are Clippers trademarks. lol

Redundant repeated redundancies.

JJ has been horrific.

Paul has to stay outta foul trouble because you won't beat anyone if you have to depend on DeAndre being your 2nd leading scorer.

The Dodgers are depressing me. Might have to flip to the Clippers game to cheer myself up.

Paul Pierce is still alive? Probably the most overrated player in NBA history. Poor man's Kobe.

Hayward has been really bad last two games.

Slow start for them again. Hopefully, they'll start putting it together like they did last year.

Oh yeah, I'm not worried in the long run. They're putting guys on base, just not driving them in in the games they've lost and the wins are blowouts. You gotta believe Maeda and Ryu won't be this bad all year and McCarthy has been about as good as the Dodgers could have hoped for. Then you got Stripling and Wood prepared to shoulder some of the load if necessary and Urias waiting to get called up at some point this season. Looks like the bullpen will be the best the Dodgers have had in recent memory. It's going to be a good year for sure, just been a painful stretch with RISP lately.

More worried about the Rockies at this point because they have a nice lineup of young, talented players. Their issue will be the starting pitching.

Agree. The only things that concern me at this point are that they are still allergic to lefties and Mister Blister Rich Hill. Agree re: the bullpen except that someone needs to shoot Hatcher. Puig has been looking like he might be figuring some things out. Hopefully that continues. Dude is ridiculously talented.

Hatcher is either really good or really bad, no middle ground with him. Rich Hill probably won't get close to 30 starts this year but their great depth helps cover that up. Puig's walk rate has increased by 10% this year, great sign so far despite the small sample size. His issue has always been being far too aggressive to the point where pitchers have continually let him get himself out.

Gutierrez getting hurt stunk, he was 3rd in the league last year in homers against left handed pitching. Great depth again helps, Van Slyke, Kike, and Segedin should be serviceable against lefties. The Dodgers are still talking over a trade for Braun which would certainly help against lefties if he can be had for a good price.

Alright, done hijacking this thread now. Just aren't many Dodgers fans active on the boards this year.

Who the hell is announcing this game with Pasch? He sounds like he's on life support.

 

[The Derski]

No ones watching this game. This is what Utah gets for being boring as shit I guess.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Blake's injured.

In other news, waters wet.....

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I hope Ballmer has seen enough of this group and forces Doc to let Blake walk.

Bring in a Milsap or split that Max salary between Taj Gibson and a Gallinari type player.

Just please, for my sanity's sake, do not bring back JJ, Paul and Blake.

CP3 deserves to go to a Contender.

But, I'm guessing he wants the money.

What happened to him? Too busy watching the Rockets/Thunder

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Blake Griffin hurt again?

Yawn

Clips got the crappiest puck I've seen
