I love how the game is ongoing, headed to a 2-2 series, and all I'm reading about is that we have to make huge trades and we suck.

3-12, and -16 on the plus/minus, worst on the team this game.
Definitely love Clarkson’s scoring when he is on, but I’d take a 10 ppg scorer that can play defense any day I’m of the week.

Why are you guys talking about other players? haha and
Guys, we are now tied up because Conley is out. THAT'S IT. If Conley plays this series we win in 5. I guarantee you. This series is not over. Why are we talking about who we could have gone after? We have 2 of the next 3 games out home where the arena will be rocking it. We came back towards the end and built at least some confidence in this game. Conley could be back by then and our other role players will play much better at home. I still think we will win in 7. Even if Conley can't play until game 7 we can still win this series. They sky isn't falling yet. If they lose game 5 then you can freak out haha.

People were talking about it if we lose the series not because we had a poor 1st half. It was all speculation based on the hypothetical that we don't survive.

That’s because we were just blown out in back to back games. I have no problem with a 2-2 series. In fact, it’s what I would have predicted the series would be after 4 games prior to the start. I can even overlook getting blown out once. But twice in a row does not bode well.

Soooo two shooting guards and 1 PG with a history of injury problems? I remember when the Jazz used to carry 3 PGs. Neither was expensive and they would’ve contributed far more to our success than Forrest, Brantley, Oni, or Thomas. Thomas is a real head scratcher, right?
Don’t we already have a pretty decent shooting guard???

His flabby *** ran into the rock Joe Ingles and his knee buckled.

That’s because you’re an idiot.
We were just blown out twice. The Clippers have all the momentum. And our backcourt looks beat all to hell.
If things don’t change drastically in game 5, this series will be over in 6

I know this may sound blasphemous, but I think we should start utilizing Mitchell as a spot up shooter more and let our offense run through other guys. Mitchell was a game low in the +/- category for most of the game and ended up with the second lowest +/-.
The Clippers have an effective strategy against us when Mitchell is the primary ball handler, and we weren't able to adapt. Snyder should have had a game plan for this, and probably did, and turns out it was a failed experiment so time to try something new.

I don’t think trading Bojan or Ingles is a “huge trade” so much as it is an obvious necessity. We need to upgrade the athleticism at the 3 spot no matter what happens this series. Both of those guys have trade value, and both of them are taking up minutes our hypothetical new 3-man would be taking up. We don’t have the minutes for Ingles, Bojan, and new guy.
Trading Rudy would be a “huge trade.” And it’s a terrible idea.

Man, if anyone is good at qualitative research, it would be fascinating to review the ever changing opinions on Mike Conley on this board. He has been everything from the worst trade in team history, the source of limiting Mitchell’s supposed rise as a point guard, responsible for Joe struggling because he was moved to the bench, overrated, washed-up, overpaid, redundant, and now the missing link to a gentlemen’s sweep of a very good Clippers team.
I’m sure when it is all said and done, Conley will go down somewhere in between all of that. He is a good, but not great, point guard and he would/will absolutely help this team but will not single handedly change the DNA of this club.
