It's obvious and clear as day what went wrong.

Takes 1 quarter of watching a game to see what the problems are - but you still got people yapping about Kyrie.

Don’t think it’s a particularly tough road to get things somewhat back in order around Luka & Cryrie and be a top 6 team in the West. Basically just acquiring role guys that fit better.

The loss of Brunson as a fringe all-star type talent/contract/trade chip is what ultimately screws them from taking the next step after that though IMO.

I’m really curious to see people say that the Clippers should/have to run it back. Why?

Avoid taking on bad contract in a deal
Go into free agency in a couple yrs with some money
Enter into new arena with a decent tram instead of a rebuild

Perk picking the Clips to beat the Suns because “they want the smoke”

 

[vidiviciun]

I'm liking the chances of the Warriors making it out of the West.

The logic behind that take was mental . "Clippers played to win on Sunday to stay as the 5-seed and face Phoenix because they want the smoke." What?

PG13 dodged a huge bullet. At first glance that injury looked pretty bad.

Probably the most insightful take I’ve heard. Big Perk is absolutely right. I saw a team on Sunday that wanted all that smoke and I’m very proud to be a fan.

Why do they have to take on a bad contract when they’re trading away an asset that still has value?

 

[lawdog1]

How often are teams in the conference finals one year and out the playoffs the next?

It’s happened two consecutive years in the West now since the Clippers got bounced in the play-in in ‘22.

Why not? They had what is widely considered a very disappointing year and still finished 5th in the West. Nobody in the West is that far ahead of them when they're healthy. All the key guys are already under contract for next year.

Why do you think the alternative of going full re-build is so much more appealing than them giving it one more run?

 

[dacomeup]

Why does he have a pod with Jackie Long?

 

[MVP]

Clippers and "when healthy" is an oxymoron. They're kinda stuck though.

 

[Raji Lowenthal]

Which I think the Knicks will do. Outside of IQ. No point of hoarding these picks when Brunson and Randle are win now players.

Brunson only 26, he washing up already?

Because ya'll are never healthy

I personally went to more games this season than I've ever been to before. Fun NBA season.
