OFFICIAL LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS 2024-2025 SEASON THREAD

[rfx45]

really dont mean to sound negative but im not sure its gon help because theres no movement in this team and rondo needs that to make plays, there are moments where he would dribble down and just go side to side holding the ball til kawhi or pg comes out and then he gives it to them and theyll do their isos

no point in a plymaker when you thats your only play

 

[Zo gif]

Lmao!

Hopefully Playoff Rondo shows up for the squad.

He did, with Ronda on the floor we're +32. With Pat Bev we're -16. Lue has too much 'respect' for Pat Bev defense it seems, or think what he's doing is working. Nope. Bev was 1 - 4 on the floor too. What a waste of time and effort. Should of shipped him out 2 season ago.

This is were Kennard shines. When all eyes are on PG and KW, Kennard is posted in the corner ready to torch the net. Lue has held him back so much this season though. He has went from being second team to now brought in during garbage time or a blow out. Mann is getting more PT, and honestly, I'm not a fan of his game. During the season, okay, let him burn, but he still seems a bit shook and lacks confidence. Don't need that mentality in a playoff game. Lue, let that boy Kennard COOK

I like Luke too, but I’m not going to expect much if he gets thrown in now after two DNPs to start the series. His confidence is up and down as it is. That said, could Luke play any worse than Morris has been? Seems unlikely.

Y’all suck

 

[iheartboost]

Y’all suck

We do.

But, we have been one of the most efficient teams in the playoffs, especially in game 2. We shot 61.2%, for second best, only one team shot better then us, yup, the Mavs, 69.5%.

Offensively, we're fine, just need more input from Morris and Ibaka. Defensively we need to adjust. Let Luka get his, and play d on the others.

 

[sammy863dade]

Is khawi gone ?

 

[Nipsey3000]

NT should come up with a space for fans where they can talk about their team without having to argue and debate with detractors every other post.

 

[lawdog1]

Is khawi gone ?

Don’t know. Haven’t had a chance to talk to him or Uncle Dennis yet. We’ll probably get coffee next week after the Clippers are eliminated. I’ll report back then.

 

[HIM]

Im gonna be honest. I kind of tuned out of the season the last 2 months because we were resting players and giving games away again. Not because I’m against rest but because I’m against giving games away when you came off such a disappointing postseason.

Anyway, I say that to say this. I haven’t been following the playoff scheule and I just ****** myself over because I thought the game was tonight. I freed my schedule for tonight and made plans for tomorrow.

Not an excuse, but I think all the injuries, resting and overall lack of continuity with line-ups is part of why we’re not better than we are. Sometimes it seems like our guys still just don’t know how to play together.

The Mavs look to be much more on the same page and have clear role definition.

The ibaka situation is what really turned me off.Obviously I don’t know how bas his injury was but the initial repot was back spasms. Then he missed half the season. We were best when he was on the floor because he could pull the centers out the paint for Kawhi andPG and he is still a goo tim potector and better on ball defender than zu. I said it a couple weeks ago. We wete gonna throw a rusty/non-conditioned Ibaka in the playoffs and he’s not gonna be able to perform to his usual standards.And it seems like it was the FO’s decision to sit him out for so long. I think he could have been back much sooner. I’m not wven too mad about the seeding, but you play half the season with one rotation then you change it up for the postseason andexpect it to be smooth?
Come on

Btw I dropped my phone and now my “d” and “r”keys are ****edf up so excuse the typos

 

[Nipsey3000]

I still think the Clippers will win this series. But, they'd have to do a ton to convince me that the finals are within reach.

Imo

 

[aepps20]

Kawhi and PG need to do more on Luka. If they don't we're toast.

 

[aepps20]

Is khawi gone ?

No he's not. He is focused on stopping da steal.

 

[iheartboost]

Kawhi and PG need to do more on Luka. If they don't we're toast.

Ehhh.

Let Luka get his, I mean, play defense, but doesn't exert too much where its going to affected your offensive capability. If he goes off for 40, but everybody else has a ****** night, we win. I would focus on the roll players. THJ cannot get 20+, Porzingis can't get 15+ either. Nobody from the bench (Richardson, Brunson etc.) should be in doubt figures. Start Rondo and Ibaka, get Kennard in early, give Cousins some late quarter mins. Reggie needs to keep producing, and Batum needs to shoot more.

**** Pat Bev, he's useless.

 

[sssstan]

no serge tonight so we better see boogie over pat pat lol

honestly as long as the mavs shooting goes back down to earth as mentioned and we play better defense, we're right back in it

 

[aepps20]

Luka's playmaking for his teammates is what worries me. Kawhi and PG haven't slowed him down in any aspect. Scoring is only part of what Luka has done.

Like HIM said they other day, if the Mavs keep shooting 60 percent every game, we’re cooked no matter what. We withstood Luka putting up huge numbers every game in the bubble because he didn’t get as much help from everyone else as he needed. So I do think it’s important that we make it harder for guys like THJ than we have been.

 

[rfx45]

ty is an idiot

its not even difficult to fight through these screens, theyre switching before theres even any contact and porz isnt even screening tight

 

[sssstan]

lol i didnt wanna panic after those first 2 games but this is just laughable now, we really are a joke

They must all hate Zu. There is no other logical explanation.

 

[lawdog1]

This team is ******* clueless.
