Cope!
Sad state for Clipper Nation. The fact that the Lakers are up 3-1 makes it even worse…
Season is over man. Nothing left to look forward too. There definitely needs to be a shakeup in the organization. Be it the players, coaching staff, or medical staff. Something needs to change.
PG soft we was never gonna win with his capping ass
I hope lue can listen to all clippers fans. Just bench Morris. He is just killing the whole team. Lue can help his career just to bench him and not embarrassing himself on the court. I doubt any other team would want him now
Three pointers, lots of three pointers: This is the way.
It’s offense but more specifically the turnovers that we have to kill. We turn the ball over so much to start each half off. We will literally be up by like 10 but could be up more if not for turnovers.
Secondly though, we have to get high percentage looks to kill their runs during the game and then at the end when every point matters. Like getting the ball to Zu.
Lastly, attack KD or Book when their fouls are piling up force their hand to have to stay out.
Russell westbrook needs to score 30 to 40 points team needs better defense and they need be 50 or 60 percent behind three point line
We need to explore the trade market , let’s fine a star that is reliable . I’m sick of kawhi robbing our franchise . Took SGA from us for another injury prone player
Nobody thought that a buy out candidate would have to carry a franchise .. I hope you all sign you apologize letter # lot of people doubt Russ
3 Key things, defend without fouls and keep them out of FT line, Protect the ball (Keep TO low) and good ball movement for 3pt. Plus Batum is back to be Batum. Who knows Suns Starters might get tired due high mins and FG% drop.
We gotta get some foul calls and limit turnovers. If they pull it out it'll make things interesting.
How:
– Ballmer makes an informal donation to the referee's "informal pension fund".
– PG and/or Kawhi tells the med staff to go fuck themselves.
or
– CP3 tears/breaks a critical body part
Another promising year 🤦🏿♂️
Man, I love this clippers team. IF they had two dynamic All-NBA caliber players who strive in offense and defense they would be a true threat in the west…
I think that we are witnessing the end of an era if we're being honest. Note, the past three seasons Kawhi wasn't able to finish because of his health. Kawhi's primarily responsible for the state of the Clippers team. When the team signed him, he demanded PG, changes around him, new coach, etc. This is the result of giving Kawhi what he's asked for. It's time to turn the page……unfortunately.
Lakers up 3-1 clippers down 3-1 what a time to be alive
Bro baked asf
It’s so unfair to guys who play each day hard to see 2 stars don’t give a f, I miss Kobe (played with broken finger) even KD is willing to put everything on the line to win 🏆 tor gsw finals, kawhi if will catch flu like Jordan did most likely will miss 3 years/ trade kawhi and pg
They need to start plumlee
I want them to play Russ at center. Put some bigger guys out with him to box out, dominate defensively with your switching scheme and then run them off the court. We have more buttons to push in this series because of our depth.
The comment section on this channel has gotten better and better. It’s a shame we’re facing elimination the way we are. This channel has come a long way. Great job, Dime.
I’m sorry brother but if we couldn’t get one at home I don’t think we’re getting one on the road. Our season is over. What pisses me off is not telling us the truth about Kawhi Leonard just like they did in 2021. Instead of telling he’d ruptured his knee they kept feeding us hope that he’d be back. Only to find out months MONTHS later that he had a tear in his knee, and now it’s the same. Just tell us the truth. Same with Paul George, that boy looks fine to me, screw it risk it. Let him play so we can keep our playoffs hopes alive. But don’t just give in and call it a season.
If you can make kawhi and Paul George injury free bodies then y’all might win
The Suns will be fine giving Russ 40 – in fact the more he scores the less likely they will win.
they never try this combination…just to try Russ, Bones, Batum or EG, Plumlee at the same time with Big Zu.. Lue would try to gamble this combination…to attack the shaded area.. offensive and defensive rebounding.
