10 pts 3 reb 1 ast and 1 block with less than 3 minutes to go, Clippers with a big lead.

Wallace +/- 23 is tops on the team!

My kids are now playing T-Wall on NBA 2K. BAM!

That's awesome.

I share Clipper season tickets with several of my partners. Their first year was 1989, so tickets are phenomenal. And now, thanks to Ballmer, totally overpriced. That, plus Doc Rivers running team into the ground from the front office, has caused me to lose almost all interest in them. But reinvigorated by Ty Wallace's play.

My first game of the season is Boston on 1/24. That should be really cool to see Wallace and Jaylen (and maybe Jabari).

Do you know them well enough to say hey, other than the BI guy?
What were you up to 2+ yrs ago?

He is killing it. I would have lost my job as a scout preparing my report on him at Cal. Were he and Jaylen mishandled by the coaching staffs at Cal or did the Berkeley air just not agree with them?

---

You and me both. I think with Jaylen it was petty easy to see that the dude was just oozing with potential and he only needed more experience.

But with Wallace, he was a senior and still hadn't shown any significant improvement. There were just so many holes in his game. But now, just his basic fundamentals and his decision making are so much better. It's amazing what a little coaching can do. And I assume he got most of this coaching from the g-league. Maybe we should hire the top g-league coach out there.

---

He's still a 6'5 combo guard with a long wingspan, respectable athleticism, and two NBA levels skills (penetrating and rebounding). It's strange to me that people are surprised by Crabbe, Wallace, Bird making the NBA, and Brown being really good (I mean he was the 3rd overall pick).

---

I'll only be surprised if Bird sticks. And Rabb, too, I'm not sure about.
Ryan has exceeded expectations!!

So what's the deal with NBA 2-day contracts?
How much longer until Clippers are forced to either drop him or sign him to more $.

2 WAY contracts Tom. They can move back and forth between the D league and THE league and not have to be released or maintained on an NBA LEAGUE contract. Allows the teams more flexibility, the players the chance to play consistently at both levels and gives the players a higher salary (still very low) to be bound to their team for the full year. Hope that helps.


There are also 10 Day contracts which is where the team signs the player for 10 days and then the player is released at the end of the 10 days. They can resign the player once to another 10 day but if they resign to a third, it becomes a contract for the remainder of the year IIRC..

Hopefully players stay injured and they sign Ty

Ty playing great defense. Great steal, fast break and assist to Blake
but Ryan Anderson just hit a 3 against Ty

Just tuned in and saw Wallace absolutely pick CP3's pocket and run a beautiful break. Doubt he sees G League again this year.

Ty has plus 16, leading all players entering 4th.. 5 for 7 from floor, 1 for 2 from 3.
Leading Clips in minutes at 29 thru 3.

Nice all-around game for Ty, 12 pts, 2 rebs, 2 asts, 1 blk, 3 stls, only 1 TO, team leading +16 (tied with Lou Williams) in 33 mins. It'll be interesting to see what they do with him when Rivers comes back, but he's making his case to continue to be part of the rotation with his play.

Ty's game was always to go strong to the rack, but it was just too clogged in college for him. The other thing is they don't call those silly block fouls. See the two highlight clips posted ... he wasn't called for a foul on either of them (nor should he have been). How many charges did they call on Wallace and Brown that were even worse attempts to get a charge call? Absolutely criminal.

The other things are Ty really learned how to pass, including pick and roll (another thing we refused to do, even with the perfect pick-n-roll player in Rabb. And Ty's shot has a much higher arc. In college his shot was way too flat

Something like 5 wins in a row for the Clippers since Wallace got there? First game was a loss against the Warriors, no shame there.

If I'm not mistaken, there is a provision to the 2 way contract that limits the player to a set number of days on the NBA teams roster, then the rest of the year he is guaranteed G league roster spot....I think the player makes a guaranteed $75K + whatever he earns at the NBA level...It all comes to about a max of $275K for the year....
