OFFICIAL LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS 2024-2025 SEASON THREAD

[lawdog1]

OK, now I’m thinking Kawhi might need to save some of this.

 

[bapar11]

these pesky blazers won't go away

 

[lawdog1]

That ref is a *****.

 

[rfx45]

ok, i think mentally the team is getting there

they underestimated this team and why it was so close but they played well enough to finish with a w

really wouldnt have been surprised if they got flustered and threw away this game

thats a good win and the types of wins they need

 

[lawdog1]

A win is a win.

Will need a way better defensive effort against the Kangz tomorrow

 

[HIM]

Blazers hit 8/10 threes to start the 3rd. Some of them heavily contested too. Hell of a win. I won’t be picky

 

[rfx45]

i coulda sworn i never saw the blazers make a 2pointer int he 3rd

im surprised the clips were able to match em up in the 3rd though and the game never got too far away

thats why with the eye test, i dont know how this team is top 5 in defense

 

[lawdog1]

Happy to see that the crunch-time/late game offense has gotten more varied. No longer exclusively Kawhi isos. Really liked that lay-up PG got on a drive late to put us back up 3 (I believe).

 

[djlunchbox]

Great win last night. Team chemistry looking better. We’ll see if they can keep this pace as the season progresses.

 

[HIM]

All things considered, probably our toughest hame of the season thus far. Hope they show up

 

[rfx45]

ty stupidly and unnecessarily experimenting again

patterns been bench pg before the 1st ends then kawhi sit beginning the 2nd and pg goes back in

close to two min in the 2nd and pg still in the bench

 

[lawdog1]

Crappy close to the 2nd quarter, but overall great half. Need to come out with big energy in the 3rd and keep this thing out of reach for the Kings.

 

[rfx45]

got a little too cute to end the 2nd and gave the kings an 8-0 run

hope energy stays consistent though in the 2nd half

lets see if this team has the killer instinct and the will to step on their neck and end it before the fourth starts

 

[HIM]

Russ had been so good and then 2 TOs as soon as he came in to end the half

We gotta at least play them even these first 6 minutes of the third. Don’t stress me Out tonight

 

[rfx45]

damn

pg out the 2nd half


edit: sore left groin

 

[HIM]

I don’t feel good, fellas

 

[lawdog1]

I don’t feel good, fellas

Concur. Worrisome start to the quarter. We’re lucky the Kings have missed some good looks.

 

[lawdog1]

Ugly for both sides right now. Yikes.

 

[HIM]

Won the quarter by 7

Hell of a performance. Really hope PG is OK. We only have 2 games in the next 5 days. Wouldn’t mind him skipping those. Even tho I really want that revenge vs the knicks for the plumlee injury

 

[rfx45]

the dubs game better not have draymond

 

[lawdog1]

Very happy Kawhi and Jim are done for the night.

 

[rfx45]

sit mann too, let tucker crease his kicks once in a while

 

[HIM]

Throughly whooped *** tonight.

Only 0.5 games of the division lead and the 5 seed.

Only 2.5 out the 2nd seed.

 

[bapar11]

Draymond a clown

 

[Nipsey3000]

Defensive intensity is up
Offensive efficiency and urgency is up
Passing is up
Turnovers are down, aside from Westbrook
Zu balling
Kawhi braids getting sloppy, so he's a walking bucket.

I can't lie, I'm surprised.

I still don't like Westbrook for this team though.
