Your biggest problem is Mark Jackson. He is easily the most immature coach I have ever seen this side of Jim Harbaugh and it's rubbing off on your players. There was no need for all the elbow throwing and extracurriculars while down 40. No doubt about it, Jackson is encouraging that attitude, and it's not good. It seems like every series he's up to something nefarious on or off the court, remember the mole incident against Denver last year?
Aside from that, his coaching skills are pretty poor. Hack-a-DJ doesn't work anymore because for some reason, DJ can actually make his free throws now only when he's hacked, but Jackson refuses to see what is plainly obvious and uses it as his security blanket. And even if DJ was bricking the free throws, hacking him does nothing when you're down 30+. He is also not even using all the offensive talent that you have properly. Too much chucking and not much of a system.
Anyway, great win and hopefully Griffin can build on his dominant performance, but regardless of the margin, it's still only one win and winning in Oakland will be tough. The Clippers can't get too satisifed now and need to be ready to go to war on Thursday.
