How we feeling? I'm in the mud
I’m beyond angry, I have been warning about the incompetence of this front office. Frank is a scumbag that has no idea what he is doing. We don’t have a PF and we are getting PJ and Harden, two guys I find repulsive, one guy slows the team and kills our defense the other is near 40 and washed not to mention undersized, just disgusting. Next, this team clearly doesn’t value Mann, every time he gets a chance to start a new shiny toy comes along and back to square one, they should trade him for a PF, they clearly don’t value or trust him. The team is in desperate need of a 6’10 power forward, while we are at it, we don’t need Russ, trade him as well, the team got way older, very slower and I don’t see this team as a contender with this trade, disgusting, they killed all the vibes they had with this trade, no way I can watch Russ and Harden commit 10 turnovers each per game, just a sick joke, old slow injury prone team.
Hey bro, you know I love your show I started listening to you a few months ago. This is My take and my take on me. I was upset at first but then I took a breath and I realize hey these are these guys I’ve been wanting to play with this other four years They know each other from being teenagers together. I believe that they will fit and everything will be OK. Will we have to go through some challenges yes but at the end of the day I believe James Harden will look at film and realize Russ is the man on this team energizing a team and all he has to do is shoot and when it’s time for him to do his bag of tricks, then we’ll let them do it but I think that he will play together as a team and don’t forget about PJ Tucker he can still play defense
Filip petrusiv and pj tucker solid pick ups
Lakers are officially the best team In LA after this trade
Who ever did this trade should get jumped then fired!!!they better make it to the finals ATLEAST!
Super team Clippers🔥🚀🔵🔴‼️
Y’all winning the chip. clippers have 4 hall of famers on the team🤯🤯🤯
#@&&!!!!
ABSURD.
Giving away two key defenders for this over-the-hill, glorified role player who never plays defense and can't score consistently anymore…and is a locker room cancer.
And here I thought the Clippers front office was a good one. Apparently they're desperate to stuff the roster with (former) stars to sell tickets for the new arena.
This greatly weakens the team. Not that Kawhi and George were gonna stay healthy for a full season, but now there is no chance they contend. They're already small and with Batum and Covington gone that's even worse.
Horrible news.
This is Russ time to move out of L.A. harden will derail this team with his mentality. I hope I am wrong but right now I can feel it. 😢
What does this mean for Russ. I'm sure he's all in with the Clippers, but he can't force himself to be happy. And if you're not happy at work… well, just look at the Lakers last year.
Who else would have been available for 2 first, 2 seconds, and 2 trade swaps?
I love this move only player i regret loosing is roco if ty lue made this move i give hlm cridit because he wants to out score teams and it never made sence having young kilza on the bench and playing batom and morris
our window of opportunity is closing we have to try something new & hopefully this works out causes this is his last opportunity imo to prove his critics wrong just like Russell
Right there with you bruh… my energy is so down with this trade that I hâte as much as you do… I just hâte his game… now I had to swallow this pill and root for the team… feel really sad that both Nico and my French boy Nico are gone… oh well
Keeping terrance mann made us the winners in this trade i believe russ and harden can work they played very well together in houston being the hightest scoring duo in the history of basketball they are true friends off the court which to me helps that duo…. another thing out of russ harden paul and kawhi there will always be one of those guys if not two on the court at all times
If Harden is willing to buy in… become a 6 man, play more off ball/catch & shoot, set off ball screens/cut, play consistent D, & just give consistent effort then I’m fine with this move but I know none of this is going to happen
I don’t see how u consider harden better than Westbrook . Only thing harden does better is shooting .
There's no way to buy in for me, Dime. Nothing can change the fact that I'll have Harden and his "insult to the game" style in front of my eyes every time I tune in to watch the Clippers.. Btw, if I'm ever in the States/LA, I'll make a point about going to a game and saying hi to you! A lot of people are making a living from commenting on basketball, but very few live and breath it like you.
Why the fuck did they trade for him man, literally have no faith in him come playoff time. I’m so disappointed :/
Didn't like to see Roco leave when he was finally getting playing time and our defense has been suffocating with him on the court. Just wonder how the rotations will be now, just hope bones still gets plenty of run and Mann when he comes back. Still here we are, Go Clippers!!
