OFFICIAL LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS 2024-2025 SEASON THREAD

[lawdog1]

Just come out with energy please. Can’t let dallas come out on a 20-5 type run.

Praying the crowd is into it right off the bat.

 

[HIM]

Wonder if the Mavs go crazy and start Boban AND KP to try to force us to play Zu

And the Mavs are starting Boban and KP

Jim Carrey took a ridiculous challenge in the 1st quarter of last game. Desperation.

If we can limit their OREB, I’m okay with this lineup. Makes them slightly less of a 3pt threat and makes them much worse on defense

 

[rfx45]

thats one of the best things theyve committed to the last two games, getting rebounds and looks like the whole team tries to go for it instead of leaking out for a fastbreak, rebound by committee, love it

im curious why dallas doesnt play powell though? saw him iut there in garbage time and completely forgot he was on the team and him being injured last year was one of the excuses why they werent better

 

[rfx45]

come on now

play with a lil bit more energy

 

[HIM]

Kawhi and Rondo with some awful minutes in the 3rd

 

[rfx45]

gon need to see replays on some of those drives bu kawhi, he was gettin no calls

 

[bapar11]

boys need to wake up

 

[bapar11]

smdh.
that's game

 

[rfx45]

welp

kawhi sh*t the bed on this one

they got it close but couldnt score consistently and had too turnover

its that crunch time woes

 

[bapar11]

mann should went for the lay up

 

[rfx45]

o m g

 

[HIM]

Mann had an uncontested layup and he passed out of it

 

[rfx45]

shoulda dunked that sh*t and put luka on a poster

 

[Nipsey3000]

Mann is young, but you gotta go under the Rim and hit that layup.

Pg had 4 "cute with the ball" turnovers late. Smh

Incredibly bad shot at the end by kawhi.

I really hate that NBA teams give up on the pnr so easily. Offenses don't even have to set good screens to get switches. Just show pnr and teams switch.

Simply for the fact that Luka gets 30-40ppg and flirts with a triple double every game is grounds for dismissal imo.

 

[HIM]

That 3rd Q stretch killed us. Rondo and Kawhi turned it over and took bad shots which led to so many easy buckets

 

[Nipsey3000]

It's astonishing to me that the Clippers don't appear to have made up their mind about how they want to defend doncic and execute.

It's mind boggling

 

[q-ball2220]

Clippers goofed tonight smh

 

[lawdog1]

Very frustrating game. Like others have said, those bad turnovers in the second half killed us and the season-long problem of late game execution reared its head again. All that and still was close.

Our best is better than their best, we just haven’t gotten there enough this series. Frustrating.

 

[commonsense23]

These DAMN cardiac Clippers, man!

 

[sssstan]

i knew we lost this game the moment PG had to sit after picking up his 4th foul and dallas made that run to close out the third

hate to say it, but i think its gonna be yet another disappointing and embarrassing end to our season with us getting knocked out in the 1st round

Right. And because it’s us, we will do it in the most spectacularly embarrassing fashion: by winning game six and then blowing game 7 at home, thereby losing every home game in a 7 game series. Book it.

 

[lawdog1]

Don’t mind me commonsense23 - I’ve been Clippers thread resident Debbie Downer for years. Glad to have your positivist to help balance things out

 

[rfx45]

im too old for this kind of roller coaster of emotions

im not sure my heart could take it
