OFFICIAL LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS 2024-2025 SEASON THREAD

[rfx45]

the refs really tried to take it from the clips too

33 fta for the mavs vs 13 fta for the clips

and mostly because they dont make calls on things like these when this is usually an automatic on these push to the back when the players in the air

that is true but when the lead was 29 and goes down 12 with 4-5 min left, then it does get worrisome

i guess i just wanted continued dominance in the second half and not give the mavs any confidence moving forward

i just rewatched it. It actually didn’t get to 12 until under 2 min left. It was around 16 min frok 6-2 min

Knowing what we know about this organization, it's almost a given that kawhi will be out for game 2 since they won game 1.

Smh

Unfortunately, I 100% agree with you. Reminds me of us giving CP3 an extra game off after beating Houston in game 1. Should have been a 4-0 sweep. Instead we blew a 3-1 lead

i think it’s highly unlikely he plays Tuesday

Big Win yesterday! Especially without Kawhi out again and again, time after time. Like clockwork! Unfortunately, we can't count on Kawhi being available for the foreseeable future. As for the game in itself, I loved how we got Zu involved early and Harden got in his time machine to ball out offensively. Westbrook was the energy and PG13 was up and down per usual. I know the Mavs won't continue to shoot like dudu so I expect them to come out game 2 in better shape. Hopefully we continue to bring the intensity and have better overall output from Norm, the Brew Master, and PG13 Will be interesting what adjustments will be made in game 2 for both teams.

 

[rfx45]

this is kind of a great deal especially if you live/work nearby and can get there early

 

[bapar11]

too early for a update on kawhi watch?

 

[HIM]

As an avid bettor, I’m 90% sure Kawhi is playing. All of the clippers player prop lines have gone down since last night. Every single one

 

[rfx45]

he was in practice yesterday and todays shootaround

i really want him to play but dude wasnt even allowed contact in practice ever since he got hurt

so really just hoping for the best and if he does come back, i hope he isnt hindered and slow down the defense, sounds crazy to say but teams kind of been fast in game 1 without him but then again they did have about a weeks worth of rest

also hope this isnt just clips playing their usual mental game on their opponents, making em guess

We’re probably going to lose and then get multiple days of “are the Clippers better without Kawhi?” chatter. LOL.

 

[bapar11]

[rfx45]

funny but true

 

[bapar11]

i'll take the 1st half .

feed zu.

 

[rfx45]

zu being in foul trouble the first 2 min really hurt

 

[bapar11]

doncic is a cry baby

 

[lawdog1]

This game feels like the 90s for sure. Ugly, but intense.

 

[HIM]

Zu with some low iq plays there.

-late bad pass to Kawhi on the cut for a turnover
-not picking up luka in transition, open 3

Might have to bench him for Russ and go small to end the game

 

[lawdog1]

Very annoying.

 

[HIM]

they hit their open 3’s and we didn’t. Really came down to that imo. At least kawhi was moving well. Rusty as hell tho
