"You can't speed chemistry up. The more you practice, the more you get familiar with each other. There's no hit the fast forward button here. You got Comcast. Some shows you can't fast forward through, you got to let it go through and watch the silly-ass commercials and be pissed, right? This is what this is. Did I just take a shot at Comcast? Fuck it, I did. So what. I'm a Direct-TV guy anyway. Anyway look, this is what this. I'm not helping myself am I? Fuck it, anyway that's what's this is. We totally messed that up, right? But this is one them things where it just takes its course and you can't speed anything up. Next question. Please."

you guess who

As the team was going through an open practice Tuesday in front of special guests and reporters, Doc Rivers spotted Jeff Green on the wing, and then cutting late to the basket.

The pass from Brandon Bass went out of bounds, hitting Rivers in the leg.

“Come on, Jeff!” Rivers shouted.

On the next possession down the court, Rivers stopped Green, who was playing defense and had a chat with him.

Rivers explained to him that Bass passed the ball to Green because Green was late cutting to the basket. Bass thought that’s where Green was supposed to be, messing up the whole set.

“We need you to be better,” Rivers told him...

...“I don’t actually think I’m hard on him. I think I’m fair on him,” Rivers said. “I think he’s hard on me. So, we’re going to demand out of him this year to be great because I think he has the ability to be great.”

dude sucks

3:35PM EDT October 20. 2012 - Jamal Crawford is not a perfect shooter. Practice makes perfect. Therefore, it reasons that Jamal Crawford, 13-year NBA veteran and former 20-point-per-game scorer, has never practiced shooting.

Or something.

Crawford, who joined the Los Angeles Clippers this offseason, says he has never focused on his shooting form. Let's repeat: The former sixth man of the year, who averages 15.3 points a game for his career, doesn't bother with the same shooting practice every 6-year-old peewee basketball player handles.

"I've never actually been drilled before. Seriously. I told Blake (Griffin) that, and he couldn't believe it," Crawford told the Los Angeles Times.

Why would Griffin believe it? Here's a new teammate who is expected to provide a major boost off the bench telling you about how he's spent 12 years in this league not bothering to improve his jump shot.

The position Crawford plays is shooting guard.

"This summer was actually the first summer I worked on my game. I usually just play off of raw talent," Crawford told the Times. "But I just wanted to work on something and be in great shape coming into camp. I came here right after Labor Day, which is the earliest I've ever gone to any team in the summer, and all the guys were here, committed to getting better.

"Now it's part of my lifestyle, working out and being here, shooting and getting shots up. It gives you more confidence that if you miss one or two, you know you've been working on it every single day and your teammates have confidence because they see it as well."
