Clippers keep adding more new ingredients to the pot instead of just letting it cook right lol

a good chef would rather have more ingredients tbh.

doc is one of the greatest chef when it comes managing egos. he’s gonna be serving ballmer some exquisite meals.

hope vogel does the whole candle
light dinner and wine + steak to jeannie.
peace

I Just want health & for the playoffs to start... I am SICK of the nitpicking of this team. EVERY single "contender" has clear deficiencies but ours are constantly highlighted.

This team is good, championship level good, let our players grow more & execute our offense

People still "wondering" if Bron and AD can "hold up" while PG and Kawhi have missed a ton of games this year.

Injuries can happen to anybody but some of these takes really don't make sense.

Y’all keep replying to him. He has you eating out the palm of his hands

 

[Flamboyant_Luv23]

mixing your personal emotions for no damn reason smh.

lets keep it basketball related fellas. peace.

ya bruh we don't need no damn gold flakes and truffle in this burger

 

[Flamboyant_Luv23]

you know what, im leaving for real. out of respect to some of real fellas in this thread. drewone, fayetnam, geno and brosizzle. atlfinest is too negative for me. he the type of dude who swings at other fans jus because his team lost.

good luck the rest of the way. hope we all see in the playoffs

flmaboyant out

 

[trynafeelmink]

Doc's ability to put together good lineups is going to be crucial for the Clippers come playoff time. If he doesn't settle on a consistent rotation it's a plus for us.

 

[drewsone]

at least he ain't keko or khufi

I got like 8 Kobe commemorative magazines. Just staring at them sh!ts and all I really want is for him to be alive instead of these stupid mags. ****

That's the reason I didnt cop a single magazine. Only thing I copped was LA Times.

The commemorative mags are great and all but tbh imo what keeps him alive are all the memories in my brain of all the big and small Kobe moments.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

i dont really follow the lakers but i didn’t know rondo was that bad. i thought the hate on the guy is an overreaction but man, i think the lakers really need to bench the guy.

collison backing out last minute was really a huge loss for y’all. for shame, i wanted to see a nice 7 game series but it may be done in 5 games.

Playoff Rondo coming.

Is what the coaching staff is banking on.

That's why no worries.

Plus there's a secret weapon coming and Clipper nation wont expect it.

THERE'S A REASON (or 2) why the Clips have been feeling the desperate need to LOAD UP. Something is in the back of their minds and Jerry West already know wut it is

In the NBA, Size Matters and you gotta have legit bigs not no guys like Jamychal and Zubac lol.

Let's not act like GSW didnt have 6-11 KD, 7-1 McGee, or 6-11 enforcer Pachulia, or 7-0 battle tested Bogut playing next to Klay, Dray, Iggy, and Steph. Or the bigs support Kawhi had in Toronto w/ Ibaka, Siakam, Gasol, and OG. Dude had legit 2-3 All Stars or former All Stars next to him lol. Folks lose sight of that.

But Clipper Nation wouldn't know anything bout deep postseason runs would they, that's why they think Morris, Trez, Lou, PG, and Jackson puts Kawhi over the top. In the West. lol

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

+1

After the trade deadline, there's no point going back with what if's and should've beens. The Clippers did add some pieces but I don't necessarily see them as upgrades. Chemistry is still going to be an issue. PG isn't healthy and Doc still hasn't figured out their best lineup.

Thing I'm optimistic the most is our guys have a good sense of what they can do, it's all fine tuning IMO and that's the point of the regular season. Come playoff time, I still think the Lakers have the best 1-2 punch and they have enough support to overcome every team.

Exactly.

And if one were to really sit down and think about it, the ONLY team that can truly gives us a match up issue is Milwaukee, idgaf what anyone on that slapstick nba thread says.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

I’ll still nitpick and whine until March 1st. Then I won’t complain until we are knocked out in second round for the same reasons we have lost all our games: athletic wings.

We ain't losing in no 2nd rd bruhtha. Wut u smokin
