OFFICIAL LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS 2024-2025 SEASON THREAD

[HIM]

Hell of a game by everyone except Zu

Harden went 13/13 from the line and we needed every single one

 

[lawdog1]

Hope Amir is ok.

Hope Amir is ok.

They said he was cleared to return tonight. Then again, Norm came back in that game when he strained his hamstring and then missed 2 weeks

Norm said in the postgame interview that he’s been “fighting with the medical staff” about playing.

Kind of starting to confirm what we been saying.

Idk if you watched the last game on ESPN but the commentators said Ty Lue told them that Norm was cleared but Ty made the call to sit him out one mrle game.

Now imagine if we had him late in that 1 pt loss

I want Coffey to be OK but if he and KPJ miss some time, it could mean a few games of Jordan Miller getting 15+ minites. If he plays well, how do you justify playing KPJ over him?

is it just me being kind of crazy but i feel like even without kawhi, this team could compete and even beat anyone on the west except for the rockets and maybe okc, which just has more youth and athletecism and are just well coached, the grizz are scrappy and young too and has a but more experience

i did like how the clips matched up against okc without chet and just hope the refs doesnt help out shai too much

i really want kawhi to lead this team especially when it gets to the post season when harden can disappear but damn do i wish they could trade him one (or two) players that could help, im not smart enough to know who that could be though but right now it definitely feels like they are punching above their weight and intuit me thinks is a real advantage for the team

 

[HIM]

Im with you. But I will add that I think we have 0 shot to beat OKC and like 5% chance to beat Houston.

We would for sure be underdogs in any series, deservedly so, but I think we would give any other team a tough series.

With Kawhi, assuming he plays at the level he was ta before his injury last season, I think we're like a top 7 team in the NBA

 

[lawdog1]

Yeah, OKC and Houston basically present the same problems for us. Multiple big, athletic wing defenders that can make life hard for Harden. Centers who can neutralize Zu.

HIM - really do need to you make your Seth Curry call happen. We would really benefit from having another ball handler off the bench who is not KPJ.

Hell, I saw Patty Mills rotting away on the Jazz. I would settle for him

[lawdog1]

This is reminding me of the game earlier this season against the Blazers - we’re not taking it seriously enough.

 

[rfx45]

very spotty effort tonight for sure

they were able to turn it on to the end the half for a bit but they shouldnt be playing down to the competion like this especially at home

need full effort in the 3rd so no nervous time in the 4th and the maybe the starters can sit

 

[lawdog1]

Don’t like this game all; just can’t put these guys away.

 

[rfx45]

they pulled through

this stat they just showed is surprising, the clippers curse of the other team shooting 3s lights out is finally over?

svg really overcame this damn curse?

 

[rfx45]

and kpj isnt the most ideal choice but seeing bones play against portland c team, i can see why he gets the nod

like everyone on the court right now, i have no clue who the 5 blazers are and coffey looks a level above em all and bones still cant do anything

 

[HIM]

Jordan Miller probably has a low ceiling considering his age, But wow. He looks GOOD

he's very green but the garnage time should have been his time to show what he could do, instead bones and coffey were handling the ball too much

i like coffey but he should have been benched and just let the young guys go through that last 5 min


great win though, got their focus back and sealed it before the 4th

and is that 9 straight wins at intuit?

 

[HIM]

Even more minutes for Miller.

 

[rfx45]

the downside is its gon’ be the clippers medical team dealing with

i mean its just insane how we dont even have an estimated return time for kawhi or if he will even play ball again

i dont remember there being zero info on any injury for a star, like even when durant and klawy tore their achilles, they knew when they might return but with kawhi we know its a knee injury and absolutely no one knows anything else about it

i mean if we can trade him, the nets are probably about to have fire sale to tank for cooper, wish we could get like cam johnson and claxton and bogdanovic or something?

 

[commonsense23]

Even more minutes for Miller.

Sux for TMann. Just when I was ready to submit my formal apology form, he went down with a middle finger fracture! He was just starting to get his groove back too. And now, he's gonna be rusty and start slow again when he gets back.

Also, I knew Stormin Norman was good but did NOT see him as being THIS good. He has basically picked up all of Podcast P's output but with more consistency and high FG%. True definition of addition by subtraction.
