OFFICIAL LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS 2024-2025 SEASON THREAD

[lawdog1]

Someone has to talk to Jimbo and tell him that it’s 2024 and he’s not going to get the touch fouls he did from like 2014-2018.

 

[lawdog1]

Norm is looking like him though. Just got let him keep getting good looks even if he starts cold.

 

[HIM]

Shai is effective at what he does but he's not fun to watch

 

[rfx45]

I have a dream that someday at Intuit we will get a home whistle similar to what OKC gets.

I dream big

thats why i tuned out after the first half

im surprised ty actually won a challenge though but he was gon’ need 5 of those to even have a chance

 

[lawdog1]

OKC is a tough match-up for us because they play aggressive, pressure defense, which as HIM pointed out, we’re not that good at dealing with because we have only one true ball-handler among our regular rotation players.

 

[HIM]

Last season I manifested Daniel Theis. This season, I'm manifesting Seth Curry. The Hornets are going nowhere and he's getting like 5 minutes a game.

Speaking of the hornets, Moussa Diabate has been killing it on the boards for them recently. Nice to see that

That’s a great call on Seth. Make it happen!

Wonder if a straight-up Seth for Bones swap works?

Love the fact dunn is starting

 

[rfx45]

no cap but damn the refs hate the clips

harden hitting the floor on every shot and no calls

and the rockets gets a foul called on a breeze


the clips were on a 9-0 run and refs decide to call everything and halted their momentum

 

[lawdog1]

Not feeling too good about this one.

 

[lawdog1]

Can’t hit a shot, can’t get a call either. Wouldn’t be surprised if Ty empties the bench in the next couple minutes.

 

[bapar11]

the effort was there

 

[HIM]

I should have known Norm was gonna have a rough night when he blew a wide open layup in the first

 

[lawdog1]

Helluva a rally by the kids. Brown and Miller know how to play.

 

[lawdog1]

Only 5 minutes for KPJ last night

Ty seeing the light?

Ty seeing the light?

He looked pissed when the young guys were making the run and cut it to 4. He was the only guy still sitting down

 

[rfx45]

looking at situation being cup half full, i dont mind where the team is right now especially if they could only go up from here on out whether by developing more chemistry by playing more games or making a trade or the small chance kawhi returns

yeah the team is .500 right now but they did beat the dubs and nuggets and kings at their homecourts

amd i believe they showed at the game last night that the clips actually led 10 games out of 11 by 10pts or more (and 11th including the rockets game last night?) so they can put up points despite the lack of scoring talent, its about maintaining it and getting stops if they cant score which i think they have been good at and can still improve

still a small sample size and i still dont trust this cardiac team night to night but i kind of expected a worse start if im being honest

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ Our schedule has been tough too - Suns 2X, OKC 2X, GSW, HOU, DEN, SAS. Only “bad” teams we’ve played are Portland and Philly.

 

[rfx45]

yah kinda cruel to start off the tenure at intuit playing the suns twice

and i didnt see the game but it was a 1pt loss in overtime so it looks like they could have won that, same with the portland game

so it looks like the team could easily be 8-4

end game execution can be an issue with the clips and it looks like that still something ty hasnt improved much on


teams pretty much just waiting on kawhi and hey, maybe he is just ahead of the curve now with all these starts dropping left and right, hopefully when he comes back he actually makes in through the whole post season but as usual just keeping fingers crossed

 

[HIM]

Kawhi, for the love of God

 

[lawdog1]

Porter Jr. inevitably makes some good plays because they just keep feeding him the ball.
It’s ******* weird.

Anyway…1 point game.

 

[lawdog1]

Starters suck tonight.

 

[HIM]

All the young teams play defense with max effort and expose us. OKC/HOU/Portland

 

[HIM]

Houston was one of the worst 3pt shooting teams and have been lights out back to back games. I'm gonna bet on them cooling off in the 2nd half and letting us get within 8 or so

 

[lawdog1]

Harden is really killing me right now. YOU ARE NOT GETTING ANY BAIL OUT CALLS!!
