Oh fuck
Lmao. Well..We’re in it now.
I support everyone in a Clip jersey so let’s get through it.
Those 2 wins vs Phoenix and Golden State. I’ll never forget you 😭
We’ll see how this goes
be honest with yourselves, did you think EJ & plumlee were gonna help us get past this western conference? bro the competition is dumb high now, russ is a good choice. obviously the guys had extended talks with him about playing time and what not
Ty Lue just gotta be ready to pull him when he inevitably makes some dumb ass mistakes
Dark day.
Wolves fan here but If you guys get Westbrook, PG, and Wall (maybe, idk where the organization stands with him) a Championship ring this will be the greatest win ever.
Edit: I know Wall isn’t on the team, I just mean if he gets a chip for being on the squad, Anderson Varejao style
We want Portland in the first round!
💀 we done
I didn’t think I’d hate Paul George more but here we are
Didn’t he say „hell nah“ about playing for us ?
As someone who watched Doc sign Big Baby Davis, Danny Granger and Hedo Turkoglu, I’ve never been less enthused to sign a buy out player
Paul George runs the Clippers
Oh lord
NOOOOOOOOOOO
I have been very anti russ in this reddit, more like i didnt want us to sign him (nothing personal), but you know what, im going to receive russ with open arms and see where this is going.
FUN ERA BEGINS NOW FAM
lets be optimistic – he is everything this team needs if he just accepts his role but thats not gonna be easy for Ty to do, all i know is T Mann better be in closing lineups not Russ
You all are smoking crack if you think he’s going to be any different on the Clippers than the was on the Lakers. Truly a joke.
We ain’t no bitches! Russ, mann, and the plum will give us that energy when we need it. They turned Reggie’s career around, they can do the same for bestbrook
for fucks sake tell me this is a bad dream wtf are we doing
Im going to miss the post-deadline T-Mann at PG Clippers.
Blow it up.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooop
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Please limit him to under 5mpg
Noooooooooo
Oh lord. Fml 🤦♂️
New guys adjusting? Team chemistry forming? Mann looking good at point guard? Seriously, what is the reason for this? I don’t see how this improves the team at all.
We really went for the dumbest point guard available in the NBA. Brick isn’t better than any of our current guards, Mann, Powell, Hyland and Gordon are all better than him WTF is the front office thinking?! You can’t trust this dude in the regular season let alone playing against the tougher team in playoff. I am speechless, even at vet min this guy is a net negative. I hope he never get any playing time for us but I doubt this is gonna be the case. Sigh.
On low mins, I don’t mind it. But we all know that ain’t happening lol. I don’t see how this works, but until we start seeing him stink it up, I’ll show support.
Fcking helllll
Can we preemptively ban MITWestbrook
trust the move . lets go clippers
Way too much doom and gloom in here. Yall are absolute casuals if you don’t see Russ was a horrible fit for the Lakers from the get go. If you’re judging this move based solely on his Lakers run, you are an idiot.
Now, he’s obviously not going to be Thunder-era Russ anymore but let’s allow this to play out and see how he’s used before having our little temper tantrums, children.
This is like Matt Patricia being an offensive coordinator. Fans know it is a horrible move, but the organization thinks the head coach can make it work.
Fuck, hope Mann doesn’t lose the starting spot.
GG
When this ultimately costs us games, seeding, chemistry and finally our playoff chances we can reflect back to this moment. Its not going to work. Damn, why is this FO/Players so dumb.
This is our 9/11 😭
Cant shoot. Cant make layups anymore. Turns the ball over. Takes low IQ shots. Plays no defense. Good luck!
Westbrick 😂
Idiots. Just idiots
You guys just beat the Warriors/Suns and do something like this. SMH
lakers fan here. do not play this mf in the 4th quarter, his IQ drops tremendously. he can be great in spurts. the key is for Lue to have the balls to bench him when he’s hurting the team
Not a big fan of this but it’s really practical for him. I hope he gets better.
Fuck it. Let’s do this Russ!!!
Is Jerry West consulted on this?
There goes all of Bones Hylands minutes and development
A lot of y’all need to chill and see how this plays out. You’re already killing the cat and the box hasn’t even been opened yet.
