This Could Be The End of The Los Angeles Clippers

Wednesday night kawhai would come through huge in a winning effort absolutely carrying the Clippers down the stretch nobody was stopping Kawai on either of these drives with the game in the balance the result of this game would be controversial with the NBA’s last two-minute report deeming that a

File actually should have been called on this play which ended up being the final play of the game but regardless For Better or For Worse a win is a win and this would just so happen to be a much needed win for the Los Angeles Clippers you guys heard me right

I said a much needed win this Clippers team has all of the talent and all of the potential in the world and yet as of late they’ve struggled to just string together wins guys we have to talk about what’s been going on in Los Angeles but first going to events with family and

Today’s content when the Los Angeles Clippers traded for James Harden there were a lot of people who thought that the Los Angeles Clippers were taking on this mind melting risk and to be honest I can’t really blame those people because the truth is that it’s been a

Rather chaotic past couple of years for him we’re just not good enough um you know we just we don’t we don’t obviously chemistry Talent wi just everything and it was clear um staying in front ball gets away what take it away from Harden and driving D he has a brain

Laps darl Mor is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of now we have to ask ourselves why would the Clippers see the chaos that is surrounded Harden and not only want him but also be willing to give up assets to

Get him well for one everything that has transpired with Harden hasn’t solely been on Harden and two the Clippers knew exactly what they were getting themselves into the Clippers had the mindset of hey we already dumped a ton of first to put together one of the best

Duos in the league in Kawhi Leonard and Paul George but they’re injury-prone and definitely not getting any younger who knows when we’ll get another opportunity like this so why not trade for a former MVP who has been one of the greatest offensive engines that the game has ever

Seen in the words of James Harden this man isn’t the system player he’s the system you I’m I’m not a system player I am a system essentially the Clippers win now window was closing and ‘s value had sunk so much in Philadelphia to where the Los Angeles Clippers felt like the

System was well worth the risk of trading Marcus Morris roko Nick Batum KJ Martin a 2028 unprotected first an additional first a 2029 pick Swap and two second round picks now the Harden Saga and Los Angeles would start a little shaky with the Clippers losing their first six games but once things

Settled down they’d hit the ground running going 31 and8 in their next 39 in fact this team was so good that at one point they were 26 and5 in their last 31 this stretch would be something to remember for Clippers fans the Los Angeles Clippers were looking amazing

And like they were the team to beat out west the Clippers felt for real they were even outpacing the Boston Celtics for the best win percentage in the league which was in large part due to their ridiculous League leading three-point percentage during this span of 40.5% when you have stars like Russell

Westbrook James Harden Paul George and Kawhi Leonard and you shoot the ball as well as the Clippers did and you at least play with reasonable effort on the defensive side of the basketball you’re going to win a lot of games and that’s exactly what the Clippers did this team

Was looking like an absolute Force out west out in Los Angeles The Vibes were so Elite that Harden had kawhai doing things that we had never seen before Harden had Kawai showing emotion now those same Vibes that we’ve been talking so much about just haven’t been the same as of late and rightfully

So in the Clippers last 23 games they have unveiled the side of the team that many Clippers fans have feared in the Clippers last 23 games they’ve gone a disgusting 11 and 12 looking nothing like the team that had that at least stretch of ball earlier this season

Things have gotten so bad that when Harden was asked if the Clippers were the team that had an elite stretch of ball earlier this season or the team that had gone 18 and 22 outside of that this is what he would say you guys are

18 and 22 outside of that 26 and 5 stretch um which one of those kind of tells the story of this team or is the truth somewhere in the middle of that we don’t know Harden’s answer wouldn’t even surprise me because the Vibes have been so off in Los Angeles recently that the

Universe isn’t even giving this team the benefit of the doubt on feel-good moments anymore the ironic part of Harden trying to manufacture a feel-good moment for this team is that if the Clippers consistently closed out on Shooters with this effort then in their last 23 games maybe they wouldn’t be in

The bottom eight in shots contested per game and also maybe they wouldn’t be second to last in defensive rating saying that this team is struggled during this stretch is an understatement and if you ask their head coach tyo this team might really be their struggles when tyou was asked why this team has

Been in a funk he straight up called this squad of 500 BAS BB team when he was asked why his team is a 500 basketball team he’d say maybe that’s just who we are I love tyo being brutally honest and the occasional troll that he is but if that’s who this team

Is that has Westbrook Harden PG and Kawai on it then that falls on your shoulders and you’re probably going to get fired which if tyo does get fired I just know that Doc Rivers is going to hop on a podcast and be like I absolutely called that one to get back

To this tyou exchange when he was told that his team’s Talent says that they aren’t the 500 team thankfully he lowkey bring everything back in Talent says a lot of things but we just going through a tough time right now so um you know like I said I feel confident you might

Be baffled but you’re not in a locker room so it don’t really matter um but yeah but for our guys like I said we feel confident we take care of what we supposed to take care of like winds to start piling up and so um we have the

Talent like you said we are good enough and um you know we got to play better I’m really glad that tyou offered some confidence for his Squad towards the end there because to me it sounds like there is even some internal doubt about how good that the Clippers can be this

Season If there really is this internal doubt among the organization then I really can’t blame anybody for doubting this team for crying out loud the regular season is reaching its conclusion and the Clippers have players out here saying that their team still doesn’t have an identity mind you that

This team has also struggled to beat winning teams since the allstar break going just 2-9 against teams with the winning record there’s no other way to put it things have been looking ugly in Los Angeles and there’s a small chance that they might just somehow be even worse than you think recently John

Hollinger alluded to the fact that there is a chance that Paul George who has the ability to enter free agency at the end of this year thanks to a player option could be playing basketball elsewhere next season to quote him keep an eye on Paul George presumably if there was a

Match extension sitting around for him he would have signed it by now I think it’s fair to say that a couple of cap room teams in the East are monitoring this situation Keith Pompei echoed a similar sentiment saying that the belief is that the Clippers are unwilling to

Meet Paul George’s expectations for his next contract he’d also say that the 76ers are closely monitoring the situation hoping that the Clippers let George slip away Tyrese Maxi Paul George and Joel embiid how many games is that team winning now before people get mad I’m not saying that it’s happening I’m

Just curious to how good that you think that this team would be now even though I think that Paul George doesn’t leave Los Angeles that doesn’t change the fact that he has a player option for next season and that Harden is a straightup free agent and as we all know regardless

Of if it’s Harden’s fault or not he hasn’t exactly been the most loyal Superstar as of late imagine being the Clippers investing all of these assets into Harden only for Harden and Paul George to both leave this off season if these players were to leave what would

This mean for a kawh Leonard who has looked out of it recently my guy Russell Westbrook who also has a player option for this upcoming season can only do so much at this stage of his career at this moment in time there is strong potential for disaster in Los Angeles now the good

News for the Clippers is that Russell Westbrook is back they have needed his defense and they for sure have needed his energy more good news is that if the Clippers were to handle business right now that they’d be able to secure home court in the first round and in the

Words of tyo this team could flip a switch when the playoffs come remember that we’ve seen a tyo team do so before it’s important to note that the addition of Harden has allowed an elite playoffs riser in kawhai to co- or better yet conserve energy way more than he would

Have been able to do so this regular season than if they didn’t have him which an energized playoffs qu is one of the most dangerous players in basketball I don’t know guys let me know what you think about this Clippers team as as we draw closer to the conclusion of the

  1. As an NBA fan who hasn’t paid much attention to LAC this season, I’m surprised about the defensive rating. How can a team with PG, Westbrook, and Kahwi have such a poor rating?
