Warriors been trapping Lou with their two best defenders which opens up other guys. Bad free throws though. He has been a good passer and finding the open guys. Clippers are a team. Not an individual. Philosophy on this team is to get the best shot available. Not for one guy to be the designated scorer. All our players are very unselfish when it comes to scoring. That is why a lot of these other playoff teams are not fun to watch. Like in your series. Not good for Donovan Mitchell to take 27 shots a game. And miss most of them. We play fun team oriented basketball. Lou got us one win in game two. I will take it.

Credit where credit is due...he still will have to do it three more times though.....remember even a broken clock is right two times in a day!!!  So what has Sweet Lou done in the last two games? Seems like a disappearance to me? he couldn't hit jack last night and missing free throws. What's he gonna do in the closeout game? Warriors see blood in the water now..... Mark my words when you play GSW, they will not send as many defenders at Chris Paul on as regular a basis as they've been sending at Lou Williams. Think on that. He hasn't disappeared - he's been SO good that GSW had to plan their whole strategy around him. You should have stuck with your "credit where credit is due" comment. |

The way we played yesterday, was what I was expecting us to do in the 1st 3 games of the series... we just came up short. I see us playing like that for the next 3 games...

Chris Paul isn't the primary scorer Lou is but the Warriors will definitely gameplan for Cp3.....Lou has fallen off like I stated he would..16 points then 12 is falling off...Missing big shots in the 4th and then bricking FTs is falling off even when defenses are geared to you...i guess the Warriors turned up their FT strategy defense against Lou as well huh. If you are good you find other ways to score especially crunchtime..he disappeared....I am pretty sure the Warriors strategy was geared to Lou from the beginning of the series and Lou figured it out for a game and a half so if he is the professional scorer everyone says he is then he figures it out....NOPE! I truly hope he does and proves me wrong because that could mean a longer series..... |

Iguodala's defense has really bothered Lou.

Guys who are "not showing up for the playoffs" don't get "primary scorer" or "double teaming" attention. Fuck that spin Htown. IF he's attracting double teaming from the reigning champions, he's "showing up". They don't double on guys who they think will chuck and miss, like someone who is "not showing up" would do. He played well for two games of four, and drew the most defensive response for the other two which made the game easier for all the other players (they just didn't hit their shots). That's "showing up". Guys who don't "show up" simply...don't. You've already been proven wrong on this claim. Back tracking like this is chicken shit stuff. |

LOL dude you can’t just pretend the first two games of the series didn’t happen. They did. You said he gets locked down every game in the playoffs, but he clearly wasnt “locked down” in the first two games. |

Back tracking like this is chicken shit stuff. he's played ok the 1st two games but like I said teams switch up and gameplan better and make changes....the excuse that if he's attracting double teams from champions he's showing up would make Harden never be accused of not showing up...teams double and triple team him all the time...the problem with Lou and as I stated the issue you guys have is that you have no "superstar"..... You need at least two of those to win in the playoffs....we should know of all people.....Lou is good and especially at what he is getting paid(cheap salary as compared to others) no doubt but he can't consistently carry a team...we all see that.....and in these last two games he has regressed...his numbers have dropped which was my initial statement before the series even started....I am not back tracking...Lou has had one "superstar" game......the 1st game was out of reach with most of his scoring...... its a nice story but Lou williams won't be the 1st or 2nd option on a winning team...book that..he is no doubt a great bench player but that is all he is.....period |

Sweet Lou is a role player playing out of his mind this season. Often times he saved the day for us. We wouldn’t be a playoff team without his heroic games in the regular season. Of course he’ll have a tough time when a playoff team(the best team in the last 5 seasons) gets to game plan against him for 2 weeks straight. Same with Gallo. Everyone all of a sudden is calling him trash. We wouldn’t be here without Gallo. We need to remember that Lou and Gallo are not stars and never will be, but they are really good role players.
I want to see a team try to game plan for Sweet Lou and/or Gallo when they have to deal with a more experienced Shai, a more experienced Shamet with more time and training camp with the team and a possible KD and/or Kawhi, good luck NBA.

I said his numbers go down which they have the last two games.....props for the 1st two games though....but my main point has always been that he is no superstar..he's a 6th man at best.....he is no 6th man turned superstar like Harden....but I give props to Lou because he can score..but he is at best the 3rd option on a great team..... |

And here is where the "you need superstars" comment comes into play.....sure if KD and Kawhi are on the team it becomes much harder to focus on a Lou....but I will believe it when I see it when you guys acquire superstars......and don't forget that when your Rookies are getting better so are the rest of the league's young players so it isnt given they are gonna be superstars overnight either...see Donovan Mitchell.... |

I give credit to Doc Rivers for knowing how to coach him. He can take a marginal player like Lou and turn him into a superstar. Lou is a playground player. Just like Jamal Crawford was for him. Doc makes him a point guard. Gives him the ball. And lets him do whatever he wants to do with it. And this season he perfected the pick and roll with Montrezl Harrell. Which turned two moderately talented NBA players into the most dynamic duo of players coming off the bench in NBA history. Now that is good coaching. All the other coaches were just inclined to trade Lou because all they got out of him was one dimensional scoring and no defense. Now he leads us in scoring and assists and he is making eight million a year. So saying Klay Thompson or Andre Iguodala can limit his production in the playoffs is basically saying the Warriors have to expend their best defensive players on somebody who essentially should be a role player. And even doing that he has still been a great playmaker. So saying he isn't getting his numbers show a complete lack of understanding as to what our team is all about. He is the best sixth man in the NBA. Period.

And that’s one of the reasons why I think this season’s been a success. This roster looks really attractive for a star player looking to cement their legacy as a great. Some rookies get better, some get worse. Our former 1st overall pick put up numbers comparable to KAJ, Dream, Wilt, Timmy but his career became very meh. Shai looks like he’s not afraid of anyone or any moment, Sham has risin up and hit some huge shots. Even Rome has come around and played soon good ball. |

Htown trying to pretend people claimed Lou Williams is a superstar who can carry a team alone like Harden. LOL. What a wanker.

He is the best sixth man in the NBA. Period. Lou is the best right now but We talking about bench players...bench players...he is the best sixth man in the NBA right now because one reason is that two of the best moved into starting line-ups. they got starting jobs..one is a future HOFer that won 6th man early in his career and the other recently won it as well. It doesnt matter who has to guard Lou because for the Clippers as comprised he is not a role player..he is the leading scorer so of course those guys are going to appointed to stop...they not going to put scrubs on him..that would be ludicrous... Lou is no superstar and there's a reason he comes off the bench......16 and 12 last two games.... |
