The Los Angeles Clippers NEED Their Leader!!
So why are the Clippers struggling to flip the switch with the playoffs approaching because they ain’t got no real leader oh they ain’t got no leadership I don’t know who the leader is Russ is Russ addressing it addressing what the elephant in the room which is why we [ __ ] losing these games what’s
Going on guys cuz it seemed like both of them [ __ ] just duck that [ __ ] but as the L so Russ is talking you saying like Russ is being the VOC one what is the urgency I mean what what do we care for there we’re losing I mean
I mean Ur the urgency is like the the season’s over April what and like a couple moreth less than three weeks away so yeah like that’s the urgency like what are we doing like what are we on April’s going to come around what are we doing Clippers fourth seed right now uh
Pelicans own the tie bra the other fifth seed but I’m saying you got several teams lose that first round to who the Pelicans get the [ __ ] out of here hey they keep playing like that they just lost to Atlanta you keep playing like that I mean if they keep playing like
That no what what I’m saying is Bing right now Gilbert where am I where am I what am I putting all my a in one basket for right now where am I going where am I going if I’m the Clippers am I trying to go to the third
Seed to play the damn Suns or I’m just going to sit here and go 50% to stay against the team that I really want like let’s just’s be honest here right so you’re going to be do you want to win all these games and then you the [ __ ]
Third seed playing against the sun’s in the first round care no I’m sitting here we’re going to keep battling win one game lose one game win one game and we no matter what we play against New Orleans favorite or not favorite New Orleans are they playing with fire right now though
Gil cuz the Sun what kind of fire again what kind of fire am I really trying to play with if the Suns get that fifth spot then I’ll [ __ ] move if the the Suns get the fifth spot then I’m [ __ ] that’s what I’m trying to tell you so
Either way if if I’m playing to get like yeah but I wouldn’t want to yeah but I wouldn’t want to end the season on some 50/50 like let’s go in let’s end the season the right way first of all we’re the Clippers we always get hurt there’s
Always some [ __ ] so I don’t think they’re not in the position to be [ __ ] around and trying to like you know be 50% and and just coasting for the next like y’all not that good right like and y’ ain’t won nothing so to be to be acting like oh yeah we’re just
Going to play the Pelicans all right go ahead yeah all right be 50% all you want same way they [ __ ] around be 50% all you want they [ __ ] around man all right but I get what Gil saying but it’s like at the same time if you’re going to
Be losing games and ducking smoke just to stay in that spot so you don’t have to [ __ ] play the Suns that’s different that’s different cuz like you said the Pelicans Ain’t No Easy win easy win Ain’t No Easy win lunch not the way they playing the way the Clippers
Playing I’m saying Brandon Ingram out for leas the next couple weeks lunch what he just got hurt he got a knee issue going up so but again different yeah well that’s different my God I mean Brandon Ingram that’s who that’s who we scared I’m just Paul and George kawhai
Got that all locked up bro we not worried about do that bro they had [ __ ] locked up all season [ __ ] that bro we’ve been sitting did they got the first round last year Clippers hell no okay H they got hurt last year against the Suns yeah Kawai went Ka game too that’s what
I said like there’s there’s like certain times of the year like you can’t really evalu teams because you don’t know what they’re doing you don’t know what the strategy is so that’s the hard part we can say oh yeah man y’all going through this and we don’t know what y’all planning on doing
Right we looking at your sub pattern like this don’t make no sense now y’all trying to are y’all trying to win games or trying to lose games as I said it’s you know right now they know they can’t how many more games left like two more weeks right
They they they know they can’t get the seventh right this is the type of team this is the type of team but this is the type of Team they’re in a position to say like let’s say Suns jump up the damn fifth they the type of team that have
Jump all right I jump the six play the Pelicans what’s the game what’s the game discrep what’s the game discrepancy between four five and six so four Clippers are in fourth right now they have a half game lead over the Pelicans they got a two- game lead over the Suns
Who are in sixth right now and they they’ve got a two and a half game lead over the Kings and Mavericks or three game lead over the Kings and Mavericks right now all them teams right there that’s why they have to keep that’s why they need to finish
Strong because you you don’t know you don’t you don’t know the West ain’t the West ain’t n you don’t want to the Pelicans is probably the only team that he would laugh at like that everybody else is it’s up for iters to lose that the fourth through eight spot there’s
Basically three games separating 4 through eight right now so around you going to see he in a in a terrible situation could be eight but but that’s you don’t know if Sons is doing the same thing I don’t think sons are sitting I think the Sons
Sons are sitting there like [ __ ] I like if you’re the sons you want to play Minnesota right they hurt they not they not fully healthy they’re missing one big star you sitting there like yeah we can we can run through them boys we can outscore them so I mean that’s what I’m
Saying right now it’s hard to really gauge what everyone’s trying to do it but it just seems like no matter what nobody really moving right now 55 8273 73 73 and they all still in the same spot so Brandon you said leadership issue do you feel like Kawai and PG need
To show some more leadership and start having the guys hold themselves accountable I mean if Russ is only doing all the talking and he’s coming off the bench I mean that’s not that’s not enough like you know the guys who won a ring like kawad uh you know Paul I think
I think J they all should be talking I mean it’s their team they’re only you know but somebody else got to talk and I don’t think and and it got to be more than Russ I think tou is just depending on the veteran [ __ ] for them to just
Figure it out and just show up which is a risk yeah and and and I don’t think you got them type of guys where you can just show up like that like it ain’t like the Miami Heat like you know what I’m saying when they was with all those bets like
That ain’t that type of Team like this is a team you still kind of got to monitor you got to talk to him [ __ ] you know what I’m saying talk that [ __ ] to him challenge him at least I mean I understand there a lot of you know Hall
Of Famers and Allstars in there but ain’t nobody got a ring but just quad so is it on kaai now as a as a champion I mean that’s never really been his personality never really heard about that so I mean you know it’s kinda of
Too late to ask him to do it now but if he wants another one somebody going to have to talk I don’t think he need I mean publicly just behind the scenes yeah all right y I’m sure Russ is talking though so speaking of Russ uh expected
To return the lineup this week after the fractur hand has kept him out for entire month of March could be back as early as tonight as the Clippers face the Pacers with both teams on the second night of a backtack so have the Clippers struggles without Rush shown how important he is
And how important his leadership is to that locker room I think just his energy overall Le him by example lead him by example I think that’s number one and I think with Russ you know what you going to get every night so you ain’t even questioning yeah I think part
P of that fractur Hy and played every game this season so even going back to the issue with the Lakers whatever you want to say he was the most available of that crew and always put it out there and it’s only so much you can say when
You hurt and you’re not out there with them and you can’t go on the floor so I think he probably said less and try to help see if them guys can figure it out and they not figuring it out he probably say less too cuz you know they they be quick to
Say Russ’s a problem they can’t wait to say that he escap go in all situations yeah they can’t wait to say that and you talked about I think I don’t see no problem it’s playoff times G this is GS Arena presented by under fantasy down the B the Clippers
First round huh what can y’all see the Clippers first round no y’all too far back Lakers yeah no we’re too far okay second round though huh maybe here second round if they in if they lose out if they lose out to the E spot Clippers they only they only three
Games out yeah but they playing against the same teams they all playing everyone’s playing Clippers next next games uh Clippers so they three games the Lakers next six so Clippers got the the Pacers today Sixers Wednesday magic Hornets Kings nuggets Jazz Cavs suns suns damn Jazz and the end the season against the
Rocket all tough games after uh after the the Hornets and all yeah so they got some [ __ ] games yeah so them them two Sun games are going to be very important and who else up that so the Tucson game and then they got the Jazz and the Rockets So Rockets the last game
Of season so those four they got Nuggets too yeah they got I’m not worri about those last four games are going to be the most important because it it’s it’s the end so it’s like the those are that might be one of those type of games where Suns like where they
Are they might sit they whole starters and then Clippers like I I ain’t trying to win this [ __ ] either you know what I mean all right that’s when you going to start see some oky do basketball right there those last four games because it’s that’s going to
Be the most important because Suns is they they got Timber Wars right now right so it’s it’s going to be a battle of the wits you’re going to start some Greg pacovi type [ __ ] Rock his Clippers game to end the season it’s going to be interesting
That’ be one of those things is you know rockets need that one game and Clippers like [ __ ] you can have it so you can get into the 10 spot depending on where the Clippers are though depends on where the Clippers are that’s why I said it’s but
That’s what that that’s what the that last week of basketball is going to look like yeah it’s going to be nasty this is going to be nasty could be good or it could be hostile some nasty this

Gil laughing when Brandon said clips could lose to the pelicans first round shows he rlly hasn’t been paying attention to this season. Pelicans a Matchup nightmare for the clips and most likely gonna beat the clippers in 5 or 6. Clips don’t got no answer for Zion and are too slow and old for their athletic wings imo.
pels will put the clippers out
The clippers struggle is they got too many small players and no leader, everyone wanna call kawhi a superstar but he never once showed it thru out his career.
I can’t wait until my pels play da clippers… we go see who laughs last
Clippers will cook the pelicans
This is exactly why gil didnt accomplish anything in the nba come on you just cant throw games away if thats what their doing there is a thing called momentum and they never won anything so they need to get in motion before playoffs start
You should play 💯💯 percent if you can don’t matter who you play you gotta be ready for it
gil just be talking, certfied hater, i am kawhi and russ fan but i dont see them beating pelicans, pelicans dark horse in the west, not fkn lakers and warriors like media tryna say, pelicans and mavs(team sucks but luka and ky can beat anyone) are only threat to nuggets
Lolll Gil is saying they’re losing on purpose!? Russ isn’t the answer to any team especially not the layer he is now
Unfortunately, Russ coming off the bench, affects his mentality and voice. Tuss gonns be Russ. He gonna give you 150% every game (for the most part) but the shi hit diff when he comin off the bench. The amount of stars they have, Shame on them for NEEDING Russ to be the leader and the eventual scapegoat as usual. No one wants the smoke on this tean from a leadership standpoint. Kiwi has never wanted that reaponsibility. Kiw only cares about himself. Russ already gets burned win or lose. But he gonna be a leader as he has been for them. He absolutely is their heart and soul, however him off the bench just hits diff. Your 6tm man cannot be your leader. He has already lead by example his whole career. Its time for cowards like PG and Kiwi to man UP.
I take the clippers as serious as I take Gil prospective on shit
PG and Kawhi really thought they was gonna mess up the Lakers in LA.
Ninjas ear rings should not lessens their worth or devalue their words, but today? BJennings, those make you look sispect?
Why even asq that question Arenas he isnt even a winner lol 😂
i think harden will be playoff harden once again and everyone will act like that was a given AFTER they flame out, but no one wants to say it now while they are still holding out hope
They just lost again when Russ came back 😂
Gil mindset is obviously a non championship mindset lol you can tell in all his arguments he never been a basketball championship winner ever lol 😂
Gil be sounding like a casual sometimes. He always riding Bron, Steph, KD and Kawhi and act like they can’t be beaten.
Khawi not a leader ????
I agree with Gil
U dont know who will be the 6th seed right now. From spots 4-9 we never know who ends up in the play-in. So saying they get the Suns in the first rd at 6 is crazy. Suns are ass and prolly wont get pass the play-in.
Pels are probably the last team Clippers wanna see
Gil is right . As a clippers fans I’ll rather see the pels first round than the Suns . Idc how much the pels beat us this season , playoffs is a totally different ball game . Clippers will beat the pelicans i promise you 💯
The suns ain’t a scary team like Gil tryna make it seem, bro gotta hop off KDs nuts for a second
Clippers can absolutely lose to the Pelicans if they don’t bring their A game.
Why he laugh at pelicans lol
Westbrook is the final and most valuable stone of the gauntlet.
Brandon Ingram is borderline and all-star player, put some respect on his name Gill
The suns aint even the 6 seed now and clips cant get up to 3. How you choosing who you want to play and seeding aint even set.
I understand that you guys think that pelicans might be better match up especially if theirs no Ingram but I think the West is so good that playing worst after all-star break is not a good idea because looking at their schedule they need play better they could end up in the play in and being play in is hard because they are soft except for Kawhi and Russ but is a bench player now so i think theirs a good chance they lose in a play in situation if their not shooting the ball well
If Westbrook can return for postseason the clippers will have a huge boost. He is the clue for the 2nd team to be successful. His body would be fresh for postseason
Suddenly Russ Is a good leader? When did this happen ?
