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.

      What we had then, what we have now...

      By d-dave · Posted

      If only those guys grew on trees? The 2015 team was really special.  That was such an incredible year until the Super Bowl. What happened was the owner let the football people handle football decisions.  We had a front office that made some really good decisions.  Just hit on FAs and draft picks at a high level.  Those guys became GREAT players.  Our head coach held the team to a standard, but allowed them to be themselves.  That let so many of those guys grow into vocal leaders and tone setters.  Then we had Cam play lights out for the entire year.  We had a defense led by Luke, one of the best to ever play.  We had guys like Greg and TD who were so smart and tenacious. That was a special team.  The biggest question is how do we bring that back?  We don't because we can't.  Instead, we need to build up the team again.  Bryce is not Cam, duh.  Maybe he's not even the guy next season.  But there are some dudes like DB, Horn, Chubba who are all high character, effort productive players. As team, they need to lean into what they do well, and give Bryce his opportunities to prove himself.  If not, you keep building the best team and work on that QB.

      Did the Panthers get Mike McDaniel fired now?

      By CarolinaLivin · Posted

      Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross was less than thrilled after the Miami Dolphins lost against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, 27-24, dropping their record to 1-4 on the season. "He was really frustrated, just like I was," head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday. "We talked about the challenge ahead to get ready for the Los Angeles Chargers, and that was really the extent of it." https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25257873-mike-mcdaniel-admits-dolphins-owner-was-really-frustrated-after-loss-panthers
