Clifford on Lance: "We Played Better Without Him"

I know it's only been two games but I'm wondering how he will mesh with the scheme here. He's looked lost and frustrated in both games. Maybe he was better when Paul George was the primary wing scorer, and now it's him and he looks awkward out there. Thoughts?

Just listened to the post game presser, and I have never heard Clifford that pissed off before.  He was extremely short and was audibly irritated. 

 

I could be wrong about Lance, but with how the game ended and then what Clifford just said, I'm putting two and two together here...

 

If I'm not mistaken, Lance and Kemba sat out a good while there in the 4th.  Clifford left Neal in and then put Kemba back in with him, rather than bring Lance in as well.  In the post game presser, Clifford just said, "we can't keep having people out there not knowing the play and playing disorganized basketball.  We can't have people out there having no idea what the play is and not knowing what's going on.  If you have one guy out there playing disorganized it can ruin the whole thing, so we can't have that."

 

That's obviously not verbatim because I don't have a transcript, but that was the gist of it.  He did definitely say "disorganized" and mentioned "if one guy is out there playing disorganized," though.  I'm thinking that was about Lance.  Also, I don't know who else saw early in the game when Neal made a horrible play near the baseline and turned it over, Lance ripped into his ass and was extremely demonstrative yelling at him.  Clifford also made it a point to say Neal played great and did a lot for us tonight.  Perhaps mind games?

It was a true statement. He doesn't look 100% and did not play well at all in the first half. I was actually wanting Neal and Hendo in for him many times! I can't believe I said that. 

 

I really wanted Hairston to get some PT.  We needed some confident shooting.  We might be better without Lance.....it's too early to tell.   Maybe we should trade for Kobe.

      Fvck Bryce Young

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
