OFFICIAL LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS 2024 OFFSEASON THREAD

[lawdog1]

Good grief.

It’s awesome that Reggie is a gamer and always available, but they ask too much of him. He needs some time off.

 

[HIM]

Reggie Jackson has taken 20 shots. Kawhi and PG have 19 shots combined

And Reggie’s only made 5 of them

 

[bapar11]

why we have to make things close all the time

 

[lawdog1]

That was an awful finish. Better get it together in OT.

 

[rfx45]

kawhi and pg out of ot

 

[lawdog1]

kawhi and pg out of ot

I don’t get it. We can’t be conceding Ls.

 

[bapar11]

the closer back

 

[lawdog1]

Scott Foster Magic.

 

[rfx45]

wow and a 5 sec call?

 

[bapar11]

I'm sick.

 

[rfx45]

terrible execution in crunch time

ugh

 

[lawdog1]

What a choke.

 

[lawdog1]

Either try to ******* win or don’t. If Ty was going to play Kawhi in OT, he should have started him.

Comedy of errors.

 

[HIM]

Lue mess led up with the timeouts in regulation and OT

We got the ball with 7 seconds left in the 4th with 0 timeouts. Had the ball with 5 seconds left in OT with 0 timeouts.

And the timeout he used in OT allowed them to challenge/overturn the call Mann play


Sitting out Kawhi and PG in OT only to bring them in at the end was hilarious too

 

[Nipsey3000]

I turned the game off once I saw Kawhi and pg sitting at the start of ot.

Smh to find out they got in the game anyway.

This is that clippers sh** that irks me.

 

[Nipsey3000]

Totally agree with timeout management and other coaching mistakes made last night. I'll give Lue a pass for that. Nobody's perfect right?

But explain to me what the strategy is worth Kawhi and PG? You sit them to start ot and then play them after Orlando seizes momentum?

Make sense of it clippers!?

Kawhi and PG need to stop being babies if that's the case and get out there.

Or

The clippers need to pop their titi out of Kawhi and PG's mouth and let those guys go.

Jeez

This was definitely on Ty Lue! These are the mistakes we used to make with Glenn Rivers as coach. I know Ty is a good X's & O's coach but 1 of my main concerns when he was named head coach was his style was too similar to Glenn. Our offense is still not free flowing as teams like the GSW, Boston or heck even Toronto's. Why is it our offensive so difficult to get easy buckets. SMH! Just a frustrating Lost to a team we should beat and like yall said, we can afford to just give up L's. Oh well on to the next one.

 

[HIM]

We’re currently load managing the following players:

PG
Kawhi
Wall
Luke

And Morris was too sick to play yesterday but he’s playing tonight?

Anyway, thankfully the rest of the west is dealing with injuries and/or has been as inconsistent as us. But I’d like to have a 10 game stretch of our main 8 guys healthy if possible.

^^^ The starting unit looked pretty good last night to begin the game with Nico in there instead of Mook. More, crisper ball movement.

Just saying.

Batum > Roco > Mook imo

Mook’s a ballstopper on offense and a cone on defense. If he’s not hitting his shots, it’s tough.

Batum could not make a single shot the entire game and be the most important player on the court.

Exactly. And since we have Norm and Luke we don’t need Morris for shooting/scoring. He’s highly expendable, IMO.

 

[lawdog1]

So of course T Mann is out tonight with a concussion that he suffered on the last play of the game. Get someone back, lose someone else is the story of the season so far.

 

[bapar11]

what's the deal with norm?

 

[lawdog1]

what's the deal with norm?

He got hurt in that Blazers game we won.

 

[lawdog1]

Brian Seimen said he thinks Reggie is “running on fumes”. He just had his hands on his hips an entire defensive possession. He needs more rests
