This is the END for the Clippers…
In the first round of the NBA Playoffs, the Los Angeles Clippers fell to the Dallas Mavericks in six games. James Harden and Paul George had good performances here and there but really struggled in the final games, Kawhi Leonard was again injured and hardly played in the first round, many of the supporting guys like Russell Westbrook and Norman Powell had ups and downs, and they even held Luka Doncic somewhat in check, yet still couldn’t get the job done. It was a disappointing loss and an ending that has become fairly common with Clippers teams in this era. They’ve only made one conference finals since the Paul George trade, a deal in which they gave the Oklahoma City Thunder Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams, and have still failed to make an NBA Finals while the Los Angeles Lakers have won one in the same city over that timespan. It feels like the Clippers have run out of tries, can’t stay healthy, their stars can walk and are regressing even if they stay, this feels like it was their last shot and they failed. Let’s talk about it.

kwai is retired. Westbrik is a jerk. Pg is more interested in bangin pawgs. Beard is a fraud. Moreover that idiot balmer is a moron. What did u expect. Second fiddle to Lakers forever. Shit team.
Chargers , angels clippers should move to San Diego.
the spurs made the winning decision, they dumped the diva because he wasn't worth all that headache. yeah they're perennial lottery picking but they're building something exciting now and I don't think kawhii's salary some close to $300 million they would have paid him would be worth a string of 2nd round playoff exits while putting up with his sitting out when it matters
I was mad for Clippers fans. Seeing both Kyrie and Luka diving on the ground, and putting their bodies on the line every single time. Compared to some players on the Clippers who have absolutely no heart or pride.
Theyre entitled and lazy. There are fast food workers that work harder and care more than someone like James Harden. They earn every penny of their minimum wage pay checks. Some of that hard earned money is spent supporting their favorite team and players. Youre telling me you cant be bothered to hustle? Im glad my Mavs won. I just feel for Clipper fans
Mavs are hot right now. Okc has sat for too long. Mavs in 5.
I’m done with Paul George I give up on him fr I’m rockin with ant man
Never forget clippers Gave up sga & bunch of picks to do as much as they did when it was rookie Shai & bunch of good role players 😂😂😂 clippers will be remembered as either being injured or playoff folds .
Hot take clippers should let pg walk they need change it's clear the duo of kawhi & pg aren't a championship duo they just can't stay healthy
I will just be happy to stop seeing NBA annual preview videos with everyone saying the Clippers are contenders if they are healthy.
They will never be healthy. This was their last chance. Can we just bury them now?
They need kawhi badly and a better center, someone more agile and quicker ino
They are just too old. Time to move on
The clippers are full of known chokers harden,pg and Russ
I been telling y’all for years..whatever team has no defense harden and turnover machine westbrick ain’t going nowhere hahahaa
Jesus Christ loves you
The Clippers are an astounding team. I don't think I've ever seen any organisation get more chances at "championship or bust" seasons. It's been half a decade of them, maybe we can just call a spade a spade.
Clips are cooked. They were always fraud. I called Mavs in 6. Hold that L.
If I was pg I would go to the magic
NYK are the future
Who did they have before Kawhi? Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Who did they let go to have Kawhi? Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Meanwhile, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is having a superstar career with the Thunder.
As a Kawhi fan, Im praying hard the Thunder lose to the Mavs 😭 OKC cannot go to the Finals after the PG trade smfh
Trade PG anywhere. Dude was literally scared to try to finish at the rim vs. Dallas after his dunk attempt got viciously blocked midway through series. Made some smh-level turnovers in game 5.
No one is more lazy than James Hardin.
Cancun clippers.
Kawhi and PG committed the greatest heist of all time.
Harden shrinking in when it matters? Shocker!
