OFFICIAL LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS 2023-2024 SEASON THREAD

[lawdog1]

That overturn was terrible.

 

[bapar11]

see u boys friday.

zu foul trouble was issue.
we couldnt hit the 3.
norm been quiet.
needed to see more mann on luka

 

[rfx45]

damn

i knew the clips werent gon get that rebound when ty didnt put zu back in

 

[lawdog1]

Hopefully Kawhi will be back to himself with this warm-up game under his belt. He was clearly rusty and doesn’t have his legs fully back.

Think we need to run more plays to get Norm shots too.

 

[rfx45]

this is gon be a good series, just super annoying to see luka complaining no-stop the whole way and pj with his tough guy act



norm needs to get going and kawhi gets better conditioning moving forward and they should be good


and is there a better angle on this play because kyrie looks like he slapped kawhis left hand and thats why he fumbled the ball - either way if that was luka thats a foul for sure

 

[commonsense23]

Besides all the things yall already mentioned, I have to add that there were way too many iso plays which resulted in a low shot clock situation which ended in missed shots and No flow. Just an overall ugly game. Not discouraged though as we played like doo do and still only lost by 3. If we can get Norm to play his Norm-al game along with Kawhi getting back his rhythm and flow, we should get back to the winning track.

Yea, once we took that 6 pt lead it seemed like we started playing to milk the clock instead of attacking. I still think both games 1 and 2 were anamolies. Dallas missed every 3 and layup in game 1, we did the same in game 2.

Hopefully Kawhi is back to his old self on Friday. Glad we got 2 days off

 

[bapar11]

kawhi questionable for game 3.
ohhh boy

 

[commonsense23]

kawhi questionable for game 3.
ohhh boy

 

[rfx45]

[bapar11]

i expect a different kawhi

Lets get this dub

 

[lawdog1]

Got to stop these Mav alley-oops. They have like a 3rd of their points on those.

 

[rfx45]

ty needs to playing around, pg or kawhi needs to be on the court at all times

this harden, russ, norm, plum and coffey lineups doesnt have enough scoring scoring or length on defense

 

[lawdog1]

Ty goofed. Left that line-up and now the Mavs have momentum.

 

[lawdog1]

Absolutely abysmal 2nd quarter.

 

[rfx45]

so is kawhi hurt or not?

why put bones out there instead of kawhi? even if its for a last shot?

ty experiments with line ups all season and still dont know what works and what doesnt

 

[rfx45]

its not russ’ night

double edge sword, dudes energy and somewhat decent defense is good but he is zero on offense tonight, not even a single assist


might be time to take him out

 

[HIM]

Kawhi can barely move man

 

[rfx45]

welp

kawhi nowhere near healthy and team just looks slower with him out there, no point in having him out there if he’s too slow on defense and he doesnt even wanna try on offense

just feed zu in the paint and when they all go after him, have him make some outside pass and hope it makes it there and hope they make the shot

 

[rfx45]

what wetsbrook did was stupid but are they really never gon talk about the offensive player locking the defensive players arms? thats why russ took the hard foul, luka had his arm locked (or at least looked like it fromt he replays they showen)

trying not to be biased, harden does it all the time but i figured jj would at least mention it

 

[HIM]

kawhi can’t run or elevate. Offense is all junked up with him out there compared to game 1

 

[rfx45]

take coffey out and put kai jones and see if he can do anything
