Tired of these motherfuckers
Well, that was expected, but still disappointing.
That’s now the 4th series lost to a top 6 west team and now the 4th seed isn’t safe
Remember when Russ was playing, and Bones/Tucker weren’t sniffing the court? We were on track to be the number 1 seed in the west. Injuries are a bitch
Remember Luka hunting Zu in the playoffs a few years ago?
Zion was seeing bbq chicken in Zu tonight.
2nd night of a b2b, gave it our all š¤·š»āāļøā¦
They better get hot and hope they get the 3rd seed, cause I do not want to see this NO team in the playoffsā¦
grandpa, tell me the ancient tale about the time when the clippers could beat the pelicans
Sick of losing to the Pelicans
If itās any consolation, this shows how important Harden & Westbrook are to this team as playmakers. It just makes the game a lot easier. The Pelicans are gonna be a tough out. Weāre gonna need everyone healthy for this series. If there was any game I was fine with us dropping in this 10 game stretch, itās this one. We arenāt at full strength. Still doesnāt feel good to sit through seeing Zion have his way though.
This team has a massive hole at the 4/5 and there really isnāt any solution for it at this point in the seasonā¦
This team could win a chip or get bounced round 1 you truly never know.
I don’t know what to feel anymore. Just being brutally honest here.
Zion is gonna feast on the squad if they meet in the playoffs
A little disappointing, but I don’t hate it. Short-handed on the second night of a b2b. There were good moments. Zu needed to play stouter against Zion. Just enough bad calls to really annoy me.
In a possible future playoff matchup zu needs to learn and know that zion uses his left, he kept giving him space and allowing zion to get easy looks to the basket. zu played awful defense
I’m not even mad about the loss. It was a close game on the 2nd night of a b2b without Harden & Westbrook. Tough loss, but it is what it is.
Welcome to Clippers basketball where they live and die with small ball
The biggest concern I have isnāt that we lost this game but that we havenāt looked good against a quality team in a long time. Weāve had moments but thatās been it since the Grammy trip.
I think we all need to lower our expectations, at least I will. Come playoff time, this may get ugly but we have been losing to top teams that we’re more than likely will face
well at least TMann and Norm arent injured after those injury scares during the game
Hopefully Playoff Kawhi is still a thing this year. Only thing giving me hope.
Pels are the Number #1 defense since ASB, #2 defense since 01/01.
They’re a tough team. We could have used James to smoothen out the offense a bit. Or Russ. Bones limitations are really apparent in games like this.
But they fought hard at least, even with getting to their rooms at 3AM. And they had chances at the end. On to the next one.
Obviously the loss hurts cause it closes the gap between 4 & 5, but I thought the Clips put up a pretty damn good effort on a SEGABABA. Kudos to Zion who is a handful for anyone, and thatās going to be something Ty & Co. will have to figure out if they meet in the playoffs.
Nice to see PG rounding back into his offensive form, and I hope Norm recovers quickly from that ankle tweak. Letās get back on track vs ATL on Sunday. Go Clips!
Big teams kill us, man. Thereās no other way around it
Let them think they have our number. We’ll see how it goes in the playoffs. š¦š«šļø
**CLIP GANG**
Idk what hurt more. Zion getting to the rack over and over or Lebron getting the mismatch and hitting 3s over and over.
Doomer squad RISE UP
If the Heat can make the finals from the 8 seed, so can we!! š¤šŖ
I can’t see this team as a serious contender.
Ty has not improved any of the deficiencies this team has displayed since he’s been here.
Our rebounding is still trash and has been since he took over.
Our defense should be way better than it is but I don’t think we have a system in place.
Our offense should be better than it is but we don’t have a system there either.
Lastly the lack of development of any young guys is just terrible head coaching.
In general ive been watching ball for almost 40 years they just don’t pass they eye test.
Our defense is just not where needs to be at all. I know we donāt have Russ but his lack of D has been why we arenāt winning against teams we beat during our hot streak.
