THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[trynafeelmink]

Home away splits might not mean much in that series, since they’ll be no traveling.

My point in posting that is even if we're being tame about it... The Clippers in a matchup against L.A will not have an advantage in terms of crowd in any game that series.

I can't think of another situation in sports like that.

 

[pmatic]

Maybe I am valuing him differently, but Shamet seems to be the best option of offense (Lou) and defense (Beverly) the Clippers have with PG, Kawhi, Mook and Trezz.

 

[P C H]

Hell even if it's 50/50 at there game, i will GLADLY take that going forward in a possible series. It's a really interesting dynamic to watch.

The thing is, the Lakers were playing well and in that climate laker fans are always loud whether it be in Boston Atlanta etc it just so happens that the opposing team is also an LA staples center team

I went to xmas day and I went to yesterday’s game. There’s no doubt to me which one was a home game for LAC and which one was a road game.

obviously because LAL prices out both clipper and laker fans, there will be a ton of laker fans at clipper home games for sure. But the idea that the Laker contingent just dwarfed the clipper base yesterday is just wrong and not true

 

[lamekilla]

How bout I raise you $150.

Lakers over Clips in the playoffs, both teams must have their Big 2 fully healthy is my only condition.

$300.

Take it or leave it.

I'll leave it alone on your end. BIG LEEMELONE and I have unfinished business. He wanted to bet me that the Bucks were gonna beat the Raptors in the playoffs last season cause I was telling him Kawhi was gonna man handle the East. I didn't take the bet and missed out on free money. He knows better than anyone how Kawhi gets down. I won't let him drag you into debt

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Lol this is so cap oh ma gawdddd it was closer to 50/50

You may be right, It was closer to 50-50 or 55-45.

But you see how LOUD AF Laker fans were when we made runs. Even though Laker fans was in the minority?

And how loud were Clips fans when they made their runs and was up 10 I believe?

Did Clips fans chant "MVP!!" for Kawhi in their own house like Lakers fans did for Bron??

That's the difference.

Clipper Nation fans never get loud. And if they do, it ain't a PASSIONATE loud like you see with Lakers, Celtics, Sixers, Warriors, or Thunder fans.

There's a difference and the Clips just haven't figured out the formula yet.

^^^ LMAO at 90 percent...

 

[D StaXX]

Whatever the breakdown of the crowd was, that seemed to me to be the most pro-Clippers crowd at a Clippers-Lakers game I can remember. So, while I think there probably were more Lakers fans, progress is being made.

Agreed.

 

[wavycrocket]

Itll be so funny if neither LA team wins the chip

Ehh again I think this is just laker gaze at it again

I’ve been to plenty of clipper playoff games where the arenas was LOUD AF. The playoffs will be interesting because although laker fans show up, so do the clipper fans come playoff time. If you don’t believe it YouTube clipper spurs from 2015, or clippers thunder 2014

With that being said, the Lakers fans showing out at clippers game is not a clipper thing. This would happen to 25 other tms in the league

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Marcus Morris w/ LAC

9.5/4/1.5 on 37/26/80. Please explain.

 

[yobyellav]

Lou was obviously a liability on defense, especially when he was switched onto Bron. What he usually brings on offense is worth having him on the court especially when you factor in that the clippers have 3 guys in Morris, Paul, and kawhi that are supposed to be able to provide some resistance to Bron.

He was food though. Should’ve stopped switching.

You been "dominating" the Lakers on the court for 6 years yet "progress" still barely bring made?

Yeah man, the "LA our way" campaign is definitely not the way to go.

 

[wavycrocket]

Marcus Morris be doing the most. I feel like a few guys on the clips play up that “dawg” bs too much. *****s be with the extras.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Itll be so funny if neither LA team wins the chip

If Lakers don't win the chip I will accept all the slander.

*edit: And Make Zero Excuses.

 

[yobyellav]

Numbers will go up every time you see it. Next the clippers will have gotten booed during intros.

 

[lamekilla]

Clippers becoming the "underdogs" again is needed.

Completely disagree. Lou’s redundant on offense down the stretch of games against the 1% when the ball should be going through PG and Kawhi then on defense he’s abysmal

He’s been great since Reggie Jackson came along but he worries me in a series vs the Lakers or bucks

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Lebron too old to keep up

Kawhi makes it his mission to take the Lebron assignment

 

[getback]

What does the fan distribution matter? Lakers are a bigger draw in LA. Of course there's gonna be tons of their fans....in LA

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Yea I don't know what people are expecting from Lou. Last time he played with another ball dominant player was on the rockets with harden. I'll let yall look up his numbers from that time on your own. Lou is not an off ball guy, not a low volume guy and he legit might be the worst defender in the NBA. Also had a negative net rating. So if he's not shooting every time down the court, he's not helping your team.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Maybe I am valuing him differently, but Shamet seems to be the best option of offense (Lou) and defense (Beverly) the Clippers have with PG, Kawhi, Mook and Trezz.

I like how you're thinking.

Lou and Beverley are completely expendable next year for a BIG MAN.

Shamet can shoot lights out, but again....he young, and not battle tested.

The Clips gonna have to think long and hard about how they want to attack the Lakers and with what personnel because the Lakers are versatile AF

 

[P C H]

Exactly.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

What does the fan distribution matter? Lakers are a bigger draw in LA. Of course there's gonna be tons of their fans....in LA

Which is why it's silly to act like the clippers are equally represented in these games. Wouldn't matter if they had their own arena, Lakers run the town

 

[lawdog1]

Indeed. The fact it’s even become a talking point says something...
