Ever since he went AWOL, his head has not looked in the game.

Yep. Although trying to pass tonight. And yes....still jumping.

He came out at the start of the game moving the ball nicely. When he came back in the second quarter, things seemed to go south.

Good to hear. Didnt see first half of 1st.

you do know Austin is a below average basketball player regardless of his age so it would have been a waste of money regardless. Why pay big bucks to players when you can get cheaper guys to do what they do?.

Exactly. He's not that good, or willing, a passer and his D is meh. How would that have solved any of our team weaknesses. But he's young and has a nice crossover...

He's actually a very good passer. He's a great pick and roll player if you're watching him.

Austin has also improved his 3 ball.

Can see the hate in Phil's eyes. That so and so, figures he hits that three! Love the last second hand off by Lee. Take it to the hoop man.

If JH was smart he would take Melo out on this defensive possession.

We have so much talent on offense so many weapons

Why doesn't Melo start all games like tonight? He didn't have a shot well into the Q.
Rose is passing tonight
KP is benefiting
We are killling it

And of course not enough defense.

67 points in the first half and we're trailing...smh. We score that many under Woodson and we'd have a 20 point lead.

We just fouled Jordan off the ball following a timeout with under 2 minutes left. 2 shots (any player on the court) and ball. Just for this, Horny should be fired.

It's Warriors/Rockets style. It makes sense that the Clips would play that way if they want to try to beat the Rockets or Warriors in the playoffs. Though their D does not look good.
