Clippers were sublime but we battled. Get more mins Dre. Tough spot in Boston Wed too
Hawks probably win this if Jalen Johnson didn’t have the absolute worst game of his future hall of fame 20 year career unfortunately
š°šµšø won the game. Our boys played damn hard, proud of them tonight
Why Trae foul there??
Jj missed a lot of good looks
I think clippers size bothered him
Did the Clippers miss a single FG in the 4th
Pls get defense man
Why did Trae foul Harden with just over 8 seconds? There was a slight differential between the game clock and shot clock. Just defend and youāll get one last chance to hit a game-tying three. What am I missing here?
Clippers are an excellent team and we played them tough. I’m disappointed but proud.
Healthy Kawhi is a demon man
Wish we had a 2 way wing like him on this team
Genuinely curious what the next few days holds for us. Would love to see a win against the Celtics. Not sure what trades get made that make us more top contender versus bottom feeder.
A long three pointer is better than 0 chance at all. You easily had two three dribbles and a half court shot to time the game vs. Zero chance harden misses both free throws
dre was so great today!!!! looks so comfortable
Jalen Johnson nightmare game. He should have gotten these moments out years ago but here we are.
JJ has had a tough week man, so many west teams with star perimeters players and today he had to deal with 3 more. His head was spinning. Great learning opportunity
hopefully the last game for this iteration. they went out swinging.
Clippers are goddamn team to beat right now. I’m taking them over Denver if PG and Harden plays like a star in the playoffs.
I hope Jalen learn so much from this game.
Quin let Hunter back to starting line up against Boston, Having Bogi, OO and Bey on the bench would be huge for us.
This was probably Jalen’s worst game of the season. The rebounding and passing was still a positive though
Clippers the best team in the West (in my opinion) and we were right there with them, even without Clint and a very rough game for JJ. This will prob come back to make me look silly but Hawks seem to be playing good ball lately. Which is what they do at the trade deadline lol.
We move
clipper fan, insane game, still baffled that Trae isn’t an all star
Not mad at the loss. We played well and tough against the best team in the league and showed the FO thereās still moves to be made (please please please š¤š½).
one of my favorite in game experiences is when someone is subbed in and out and the team does a fun emote ššš
when onyeka was hot it had fire behind him and the other four guys turn to him, with hands on top of their head shocked like:
wish coach Q would experiment with lineups a little more. wouldve liked to see some OO bruno minutes tonight
Well fought game, canāt be too disappointed. Just wish Jalen didnāt miss so many of those open looks
Onyeka had 5 rebounds and only one was defensive and DEANDRE HUNTER had 7 rebounds on a minute restriction let’s halt the brakes on this Onyeka starting business we still need Clint even if he has bricks for hands and a toddler’s layup package
It’s crazy cause if we just had a lil defenseĀ
Better team than us, plain and simple. Trade deadline is 3 days away, FO needs to make some sort of move. Don’t stand pat because of a 4 game streak, it’ll bite us in the ass
Deadass bring me okoro we need a poa defender bad
I cant believe I miss a game vs my two favorite teams
Decent game. Forgot how much they stacked this team. Turned on the game partway through and i’m like oh yeah they got Harden, Kawhi is healthy and looks good, oh shit they got Paul George too, then Westbrook cuts in for a layup… jeez. We don’t even got one all-star and they got 4
I simply canāt imagine watching this game and thinking yup capela missing was the reason we lost
When we play Trae and Dejounte together Trae he goes from DJM to DMT. Homie plays so much more out of control when they share the floor. Like he has something to prove.
I like Dejounte. I like his game. He’s gotta do something about his emotional swings through the course of a game. It’s so self-damaging.
Clippers and then Celtics in Boston. Damn you, NBA.
More Steve ballmers in the sports ownership world and less Tony Resslers
They’re like the best team out west. A close loss against a streaking contending team instead of a blowout is a moral victory, considering how our December and January went.
Celtics are next need to see Trae put up a 40 ball on derrick whites bald head
okay i loved everything about the game, but i think we really need to work on end game strategies when weāre up. we just waste like 14~18 seconds and have to chuck up a contested buzzer shot and they all go cold. threes lead to longer rebounds, and easier points for other teams
Y’all might get mad but I think we needed this loss. After the 76ers on Friday our schedule gets a lot easier. If we get too hot and make and become play-in champions we will just suffer another first round loss in 6 games.
We don’t have the assets to make another trade to bring in another All-Star level player. We’re not a coveted free agent destination.
To me the only way to break the cycle of mid is to remain in the lottery and net a top 10 pick. Starting next year we start giving picks from the DJ trade and this will be our last opportunity to get additional high-end taken next to Trae. I still think we need to be sellers at the trade deadline and get any draft capital and better fits for the team if possible.
I don’t actively root for the team to lose but I’m never upset if we lose because the draft is our best opportunity to make a lasting impact on the roster.
How are teams scoring so high this season?
I feel like DJ is overcompensating a lot because he see all the trade talks and fans being underwhelmed by his game at times and thatās why I think the 4th quarter heroics has went up recently. Itās fun to watch but I really would rather he have a full game of contributing over some of the hero shots. Especially tonight when he only hit two 3s and one that assist to JJ but was pretty awful decision making throughout most of the 4th. It stops the offense from flowing.
Not even mad at the loss we played really well. Going toe to toe with a team full of future hall of famers we held our own. If only we play like this more often we can see a change in this team. On to the next one.
Close game with the Clippers having their best shooting night of the season and JJ having his worst. Problem is we let a lot of teams have their best shooting night. I had zero faith we were going to get a stop down the stretch. Only hope was Westbrook taking one of his jumpers.
we got another win streak in us. i think weāve turned a corner. im not so miserable anymore, just donāt let this turn into another losing streak
