OFFICIAL LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS 2024-2025 SEASON THREAD

[lawdog1]

I’m pretty much over PatBev

 

[sssstan]

agreed!! lawdog1

man is back and i don’t like the way the team is looking especially with mann losing minutes

 

[lawdog1]

A lesson in how not to close a quarter...ugh.

 

[HIM]

Look at the difference in effort from both teams. Also, did Ibaka die? I’ve said it for years now. We have the worst medical staff in the NBA

 

[bapar11]

good team Win

 

[sssstan]

glad to see the guys wake up and pull out the win to end that losing skid

 

[lawdog1]

Too close, but I’ll take it.

The sequence when PG got the block on FVV and then hit the 3 was the sealer. Big hoops by Reggie.

 

[HIM]

I haven’t been able to watch the last few games because of work/moving. Have we been looking this bad? Offense looked terrible, defense looked lazy, guys looked uninspired.

Reggie and Mook were the only ones who played with heart all game long. I’ve gotten to the point where I expect Reggie to hit big shots. I can’t believe that

 

[rfx45]

struggle win but got to take what you can at this point

good to see patbev isnt out there during crunchtime, reginald deserved that time and he delivered

 

[Nipsey3000]

I'll take it. Defensive communication needs to improve and we need to stop being so "cute" with the ball.

But kawhi only had 13 points with 6 shots in a win.

We need serge back

 

[HIM]

We need serge back

I truly cannot understand how he’s been out so long.Ourstaff is either way too overly cautious or incompetent. I leaning towards incompetence. He’s gonna end up missing 30 games and we’re gonna trot him out in the postseason and expect him to pick up where he left off

Totally agree! I mean, what was it? Spasms?

Yes.

 

[HIM]

Not giving up on the season but I’m looking forward to the offseason. I think our FO is gonna have a great summer.

Assuming Kawhi stays

 

[commonsense23]

Was I trippin or was Toronto playing hardcore/playoff defense? I mean they aren't really playing for anything other than pride but damn, hats off to Nick Nurse and their coaching staff for putting their players in that defensive mindset. Wish we had that! Sucks to say that with only a few games left before the Playoffs, we are still having communication issues and lack of cohesion makes me feel like this is just gonna carry over into the Playoffs. Unless Ty Lue has been trolling everyone and we flip a so called "switch". Why can't we have nice things! Health and Luck!

I mentioned it last night. The effort from Toronto was crazy. Look at how they played the pick n roll vs our lazy “defense.” Zu and Cousins just sagging and letting FVVget wide open shots all night

 

[sssstan]

depleted lakers team tonight, want our guys to just take care of business and keep pace for the 3 seed

 

[sssstan]

RONDO

 

[bapar11]

I love it

 

[lawdog1]

All right. We’re good. Time for Kiwi and PG to come out.

 

[rfx45]

good win but it sucks that manns minutes been cut too much now

also hope kawhis just rusty and not any lingering injury

I think it’s rust. Plus, it was clear Toronto’s game plan the other night was to make sure Kawhi didn’t get off.

Glad our boys took care of business last night! Happy to see that mostly every player was involved and we didn't need to rely on our 2 All Stars to carry the scoring load. This will definitely help in the Playoffs when teams stack up their D on PG13 & the Claw. What I didn't like was the high volume turnovers. I contribute that with players not used to playing with one another since we had some guys come back from injuries and Ty still tinkering with different line ups. Also seeing T-Mann minutes really down is also a no no. Hopefully we use PatBev in limited minutes and give those minutes back to T-Mann. Boogie also looking better each game.

one thing i did notice that took away Mann's minute last night was Ty inserting Luke instead.
probably still just tinkering the lineups still and seeing how certain guys do in different rotations, think yesterday might have been the first time where we actually had PG and Kawhi sit out at the same time for a good stretch.

with everyone playing so well, its gonna be so hard to cut our team down to that 8 man rotation
