Clifford on Lance: "We Played Better Without Him"


Recommended Posts

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.

    • His play style isn’t what’s needed and he’s slow to get off the time. Watching some of these all 22 clips and there’s once again a massive lack of speed on the field. 3rd year in a row I’ve said from day 1 Bryce needs route runners. He’s had one pure route runner and he turned Thielen into a 1000 yard receiver. At age 35. The Panthers drafted Young to be a “point guard” and proceeded to give him the exact opposite of what he’s needed. It would sure be nice to have a deep threat as well. Something Bryce had at Bama  
    • I'm the same and I just gave up on it years ago.  I expect the new sale to make it a worse fall into making bigger revenue streams and that's not going to be offline franchise. 
    • Renfrow for being a role player has been 100% fine.  Heck he should have at least 4 TDs.  Bryce Young just can’t throw the ball.  When he does look Renfrows way and he is open it’s almost always just a bad throw.  Renfrow also has been out there setting great picks like the big play to TMac, getting Bryce Young horrible turnovers wiped on away from the play routes etc.  You could literally already make a highlight real of bad throws to him by Bryce and none of that is pimping Renfrow.   It just highlights Bryce fails at basics over and over every week without fail
