    Dame can't draw a triple team in the post, Drumm does and doesn't have the strength or finishing ability that Trezz has.

    Even Mark Jackson was saying the Warriors would love it if Drummond gets posts. Every post season we see the same thing: if you're big can't shoot 3 they better be able to finish lobs and offer the ability to rotate and rim protect.

    In all seriousness, Jones is a better lob threat off the dunker spot then either Drummond or Trezz. He's also a better rim protector and he's got decently quick feet. He's not a great rebounder but he will box out which is more then I can say about Drummond. The greatest individual rebounder whose team consistently doesn't win the glass

    We need Trezz against the Suns, Drum needs to sit for Marc

    I wish we had a high IQ big man who can pass the ball and play smart defense like Marc Gasol .

    i agree. should have kept damian jones if possible.

    WMC: dennis. cannot stand this guy. and he wants 25+ mill per year? he didnt have it between the ears tonight, way too lazy WITH everything, no passion, no pride, just showed nothing but terribad mistakes over and over.

    hope he brings it against the suns. but man, dont offer a contract to him this summer. PLEASE ROB.

    Gasol would be great against Ayton IMO but this team seems to want to keep a good reputation with buyout/FA types for the future so I bet Drummond starts again vs the Suns. At least that is a better matchup him for then the Warriors.

    Vogel and the refs who surprisingly were pro-Warriors minus the start of the 3rd are my WMC

    Mark Jackson is just so annoying.
    At least with Van Gundy he clearly pointed out that the spacing improved with at the 5. Baby steps

    I think what really pissed me off was when they brought in Steve Javie and he also agreed that the shot to the head was not a flagrant foul. Like Wtf? This guy is always against the Lakers.

    Didn't think it was a flagrant in the version of the NBA I love and miss. But every hit to the head in today's game is an automatic flagrant. Pretty surprising that they didn't call this one.

    Phoenix has ZERO interior defense.

    This type of foul is always a flagrant and the face of the league on the most decorated and popular franchise can't get this call...

    Stupid Van Gundy harping the opposite and claiming verticality on the play. Can’t stand him and Jackson in the booth.

    I wanted to ship Dennis to Abu Dhabi in a box. At least we won’t have to overpay him in the off-season now.

    Lebron said after the game that his finger went into his eye and he was worried he was going to have an eye injury.

    With a straight face Javie said it. Just like those morons looking at 3 angles of AC’s phantom foul a week ago and let it stand.

    We look vulnerable this year. It seems like with the injuries the chemistry and confidence has suffered.

    I expected us to beat the crap out of GS and we barely crawled to a victory. I don't think you can "fix it" within couple of weeks but I hope I'm wrong. We are the Clippers of last year...just never got it together.
