That be hilarious if Ham still gets canned this week

 

[HIM]

You gotta extend Ham

 

[CHAOSE57]

Thought Kawhi got hurt when Lue pulled him. Minutes restriction though in a tight game?

 

[B Sox]

Nah that minutes restriction stuff was crazy

Even if/when someone has been on one, I feel like they always play the game out if it’s that close.

They play again tomorrow, so maybe that’s why.

But still kind of head scratching how the Clippers played out the last few minutes.

 

[ill steelo]

Is there a reason lue pulled Kawhi for the last 3 minutes?

Hungover from Bron’s party?

Burned the final time out to sit Kawhi

Never brought him back after several dead balls

Clips burned all of the shot clock every possession after that

They have no plan, end up going at AD 1on1 on the switch, the worst plan of attack knowing he’ll just rim run if there’s a miss. Bad miss of course, AD rim runs, lakers get a wide open 3

Awful

Won the game, but HiP gets to coach another day.

Yall love and believe in these minutes restrictions. They’re literally useless.

Easily the worst game the Clippers have played in more than a month. Credit to the Lakers for taking advantage.

Hopefully someone follows up with a more pointed question

Putting aside even thinking about a minutes limit at the 45 minute mark in a tight game, you don’t burn your final time out at that point to sit your best player.

And if you’re willing to do that, you damn sure don’t gamble on a challenge when you only have two TOs left.

PG iso on Davis with harden at the top of the arc with dlo on him.

Kawhi "minutes restriction"

Lue burning his last timeout with more than 2 min to go after an unsuccessful challenge in which they lost a timeout.

For some reason, somebody thought it was smart to put Powell on Davis for a few possessions earlier in the quarter... Even though the Lakers didn't take advantage of it.

All head scratchers.

Just one game.

The clippers are headed in the right direction

On to the next

clippers been trending in the right direction once they picked up Harden and he accepted that the clippers needed him to be a facilitator more than a 25ppg scorer.

we all know what it comes down to though, kawhi's health in may/june.

 

[noblekane]

need somebody to make a png of this

 

[Blue Mamba]

Jarrett Allen has been great with Mobley out. They might have to choose one or the other

 

[651akathepaul]

Why is Minnesota not letting Ant run this offense in crunchtime

Ant gets double/triple teamed come crunchtime and it gobs up the offense plus he struggles with turnovers.

They really need a 3rd option as a reliable scorer to alleviate the pressure. KAT just hangs out around the perimeter, Gobert isn't a true threat for a set offense, Jaden is extremely inconsistent from 3 leaving Conley - who is much more adept at spacing the O.

 

[Peep Game]

Extremely small sample size but I think the star potential is clear as day. He pops on the screen.

Him and Tari are terrors on defense. Need them on the floor more at the same time

MY Lakers

 

[had pants]

 

[Mister Meaner]

Team not even above .500 but someone supposed to put the word out Lakers are back?

Taj Gibson just got waived btw. I know the club has been thru various scrap heaps lately looking for help and whatnot.​
