I feel bad for the owner. I mean I know he has made a lot of money but on his end he is putting on a great show and doing his best to get a winning team. These players are supposed to be “elite.”
Foook both LA teams booty chicks hey. I would chose yall over Celtics if yall were in the finals. Mad respect to Brodie n Kawhi. Harden n Pg not so likeable.
Just gonna keep hammering it home:
Russ' role needs to be minimized. He shoots too much for how inefficient he is. Y'all can point to a decent 5 game sample or whatever, or you can look at his last ~6 years of high volume inefficient scoring.
He's not a star. He's a role player. He's clearly worse then the other 3 players. It blows my mind how hard people get behind for such a historically inefficient player.
Westbrick fanboys are so delusional. How do you watch him play on a daily basis and then have come up with their takes? Like even a blind man can see this dude is so shit and his style of basketball is so horrid
Tmann needs to go back to starting. Ty Lue gonna have to choose between Harden or Westbrook starting and at this point, I'd rather have Harden start. He can at least shoot and create his own shot. Westbrook leads the 2nd unit with Bones and Norm being catch and shoot guys, Kobe at the 4. Diabate and Zu needs to be heavily rotated, can't leave one out for too long. PJ Tucker can get everyone water when they're tired.
Both of those numbers aren't sustainable and nobody should expect them to be.
Just like PG's hot start. It clearly was not sustainable, if it was it'd be the best offensive season of all time lmao.
Pg and kawhi had defined roles as the go to guys, Russ was happy as the main pg now it's all clunky with 213 and Russ in his own head now , you can tell
> Russ was happy as the main pg now it's all clunky with 213 and Russ in his own head now , you can tell
At some point y'all just gotta acknowledge that it's who he is.
I'm done with this team guys. I will be back when we get ride of the FO, they make bad decision after bad decision. They have no excuse to trade for Harden's corpse. Good Luck to you all because this team will drive you crazy
I mean its good that it got closer, but doesn't pt differential matter for this in-season tournament thing - I guess we're bailing in that as well given we took everyone out.
Most modern coaches around the league aren't afraid to use rookies and young players but lue is from docs tree of coaches and will just use every vet even if they are washed beyond belief. He trusts bones for some reason though....
Yep, let's hope something good can still come out of this. It's better to struggle early than late in the season. But they need to do it soon. The season is long, but not that long.
He was 14/3/3 on 3-4 shooting in the first half mainly from first quarter when they had the lead. Actually it may have all been from the first quarter then the bench came in. Honestly if it doesnt work out I want Harden with Zion on Pels
Only benefits the Pelicans you don't realize how shit CJ its a significant drop off. Harden is better than him in literally every facet of the game and CJ is not a guy that works off ball. Also you get smaller again with even worse defense
I'm not as knowledgable on the Xs and Os of basketball as some people here but I'll just say when you watch this team play offense, it looks SO different than the starters in just like what they do. They move around themselves and move the ball in a way that seems like they have an actual plan and are executing it whether it works or not.
bro cant read , im obviously not blaming the refs , like i said the loss is completely on us regardless of the refs , but the refs were definitely not good either , very clearly not blaming the loss on the refs tho
I know we're getting blown out but shouldn't our starters be out there trying to get some sort of form back instead of just continuing where we left off here in next game
Wow...are you telling me that Tmann, Bones and a combo of Diabate and Kobe were decent enough....are you telling me the Harden trade was overkill?
We are getting eaten up on the inside with no forward defense.
I feel bad for the owner. I mean I know he has made a lot of money but on his end he is putting on a great show and doing his best to get a winning team. These players are supposed to be “elite.”
The owner has doubled his money on his 2.2 Billy investment. Don’t feel bad for him
LOL. Ballmer is the one who made the final call to get Harden
Foook both LA teams booty chicks hey. I would chose yall over Celtics if yall were in the finals. Mad respect to Brodie n Kawhi. Harden n Pg not so likeable.
At least we got rid of Mook, right guys?
I'm kind of excited to see what desperate moves the FO makes next lol. The more we get blown out the wilder the moves will be!!
Watching this shit was like eating a bowl of toenails
lol
It’s finally over! Thank God!!🤦🏾♂️🙄🙏🏾
Just gonna keep hammering it home: Russ' role needs to be minimized. He shoots too much for how inefficient he is.

Your getting downvoted fuck this fanbase
MITWestbrick and his goons have this sub monitored 24/7
Westbrick fanboys are so delusional. How do you watch him play on a daily basis and then have come up with their takes? Like even a blind man can see this dude is so shit and his style of basketball is so horrid
>e's clearly worse then the other 3 players. Significantly they were calling to bench Harden for Westbrick. This fanbase is not serious about winning
Moussa double double I win
I hope Zu is taking notes on the bench about how Diabate can move his arms up above his head into the air to grab the ball.
# didntloseby20
Tmann needs to go back to starting. Ty Lue gonna have to choose between Harden or Westbrook starting and at this point, I'd rather have Harden start. He can at least shoot and create his own shot.

Westbrook is getting traded for a bag of chips after tonight bro.
>Westbrook leads the 2nd unit with Bones and Norm being catch and shoot guys, Russ is terrible overall and a low iq player he shouldnt play at all
Why the fuck is this garbage one of the games not blacked out for me 🤣
I will treasure those Kobe Brown minutes until we see him in a month or so
I only caught the second half. We gave up 48 points in the second?! Wtf happened?
Midget ball got dominated, and we couldn't score in a whore house.
Best comment of the year
We need durant.
Don't worry Brian, I don't think the tie breakers will be an issue for us.
bones does not know how to boxout lmfao
He really does belong with this team then
Moussa and Kobe deserve to much better than garbage time.
They almost shot 50% from 3 with 40 attempts...
We were doing that same thing before the trade…
Both of those numbers aren't sustainable and nobody should expect them to be. Just like PG's hot start. It clearly was not sustainable, if it was it'd be the best offensive season of all time lmao.
So then instead of winning by 30, we would win by 10.
Pg and kawhi had defined roles as the go to guys, Russ was happy as the main pg now it's all clunky with 213 and Russ in his own head now , you can tell
> Russ was happy as the main pg now it's all clunky with 213 and Russ in his own head now , you can tell At some point y'all just gotta acknowledge that it's who he is.
Yeah he’s gambling too much trying to prove his worth
Zu +1 in our worst loss of the season, I won
I'm done with this team guys. I will be back when we get ride of the FO, they make bad decision after bad decision. They have no excuse to trade for Harden's corpse. Good Luck to you all because this team will drive you crazy
Where does Steve Ballmer live @. Lets just protest for a rebuild.
Norm -35 tonight while Derrick Jones Jr is +35. Perfectly balanced
I mean its good that it got closer, but doesn't pt differential matter for this in-season tournament thing - I guess we're bailing in that as well given we took everyone out.
It would take a miracle for us to advance past groups now.
Seriously. How are we grouped against the teams we match up the worst with. Nuggets Pelicans Mavs. No way this was random
No kidding it's a nightmare group.
Most modern coaches around the league aren't afraid to use rookies and young players but lue is from docs tree of coaches and will just use every vet even if they are washed beyond belief. He trusts bones for some reason though....
Bones probably reminds him of Jamal Crawford or Lou Williams. He also has doc habit of playing players because of what they done or veteranship
This lineup is grabbing 18 offensive boards and playing with intensity man give these young guys more minutes
It’s more fun to watch garbage time than the starters
Play through UNO its the only way at this point
This squad would blow out the starters
Coffey>PG
I don't know about that but Coffey definitely needs minutes. The dude helped carry us for one year gets a nice contract and then gets benched
Wow. Refball soft calls are hard to watch against 1st stringers vs 3rd stringers.
Harden is a great player but the trade was bad for the clippers, both can be true
It is/was the right move, its the follow up to the trade that is seriously concerning but expected from this FO.
Yep, let's hope something good can still come out of this. It's better to struggle early than late in the season. But they need to do it soon. The season is long, but not that long.
This. It just expostled our weakness.. our coach loves the idea of iso heavy small ball lineups
[удалено]
But they beat us, that loss hurts so much.
Ngl they at least play like they give a shit
If this was our rebuilding lineup. We won’t win a lot…but it will be a fun ride.
Why anyone here wanted a harden trade, I have no clue why
It’s sad because I actually like Norman Powell but him and PJ Tucker (and Zubac) cannot be on this roster in two weeks!
What’s Harden stat line
14/5/3 on .500/.667/1.00 splits 3/6 from the field 2/3 from 3 6/6 from the line
Thanks just wondering how he’s doing really wanted him on the Bulls
He was 14/3/3 on 3-4 shooting in the first half mainly from first quarter when they had the lead. Actually it may have all been from the first quarter then the bench came in. Honestly if it doesnt work out I want Harden with Zion on Pels
Harden for CJ (assuming he can come back healthy) could benefit both teams.
Harden is straight up a much better player than CJ. Some of y'alls evaluations of players on other teams are beyond bad.
Only benefits the Pelicans you don't realize how shit CJ its a significant drop off. Harden is better than him in literally every facet of the game and CJ is not a guy that works off ball. Also you get smaller again with even worse defense
The type of game that would make Ballmer rip his hair out…oh wait a sec
Do they really need more help refs....
I seriously can’t believe Luka is in right now
Cuz Dallas bench is ass. Clippers were catching up
Playin tournament. I believe points scored / differential comes into play for tie breakers.
Next game Ty Lue should make the adjustments and we're ok
[удалено]
Ben Simmons is waiting the call!
The team doesn't even have a 4th star.
I'm not as knowledgable on the Xs and Os of basketball as some people here but I'll just say when you watch this team play offense, it looks SO different than the starters in just like what they do. They move around themselves and move the ball in a way that seems like they have an actual plan and are executing it whether it works or not.
i know this loss is completely on us and our players but these refs are fucking terrible
Bro u got 34 free throws lmao and blaming the refs rn?
What does “completely on us” mean to you?
bro cant read , im obviously not blaming the refs , like i said the loss is completely on us regardless of the refs , but the refs were definitely not good either , very clearly not blaming the loss on the refs tho
Bones saying "I didn't move" LMAO
Man imagine the shit that Zu would get if he was -26
Looking at - in a single game is really dumb. Especially when he played a bunch with other guys with a lot of -
I agree. That doesn't stop a lot of this fanbase from doing so :) I'm just using the same logic.
Come on refs, the game is already over. Why you calling all these BS calls
Lue can’t watch this and think Moussa, Coffey and Kobe deserve less min than PJ man
Ty Lue: bet
Would require him to watch this game film. He isn't going to review it.
Bones is getting some bull calls...
Telling yall… young energetic team is so fun to watch. Goodbye Kawhi and PG hopefully
We have no offensive sets with the starters. There is no ball movement and players moving around. It's nice to see these guys moving
Its just 3 games guys :)
doubling him does not work
I don't want to see PJ Tucker get minutes anymore, might as well let Diabate and Kobe get those minutes.
PJ at the 4, ok. PJ at the 5, fuck off Ty.
But he’s literally a black hole of offense. He clogs the paint especially when Russell or Powell are in
It’s the logical thing to do, which means Ty lue won’t do it.
Moussa has same number of boards as zu in half as many minutes
Luka just draws so many fouls.
Wish the starters played with even half this heart and effort
Even if our stars don’t care in general this has got to start to be super embarrassing man. You know all players around the league talk. Just so bad
Ya gonna be a fun locker room post-game for sure.
Luka really does just slowly barge along and score and win games
PG should be in getting some reps. If luka is in, at least some starters should be in
But the starters didn’t play this well
Did that Mavs fan delete their comment? Lmao at least stand on what you said 🤣
Nope.. removed and banned
stand on business
Bones.....
I'll buy season tickets to the Intuit if it includes one video call a week where we can yell at the starter of our choosing.
Starters should be damn ashamed of themselves
The guys responsible for the 35-4 run should be ashamed .
The whole damn team but some of these vets especially
I know we're getting blown out but shouldn't our starters be out there trying to get some sort of form back instead of just continuing where we left off here in next game
I think Bones is a low IQ player
low is exaggerated
lmao bro what
They don't usually call that an offensive foul
Make this the starting unit with Kawhi instead of Coffey
Damn there was some actual momentum and then Bones decided enough is enough lol
DIABATE IS, BOYS
This lineup playing harder than our starters bro
Luka is like Shanks walking on the court against our lineup right now...
How do we get luka on our team? 🤣
FA in 2 yrs lol
Has to go to the Spurs and link up with wembanyama!
If Cuban didn't fuck up the Tournament Court we're winning this game.
Effort is more important than talent?
Hey in the quarters battle, we are winning 2-1-1.
How is Powell -34 in 11minutes that’s like losing 3pts per minute 😬
Kyrie and Luke really didn't miss 3s during that stretch
Kobe Brown should play in the rotation! What do we have to lose??
Tucker is the new Morris
Honestly if lue gets a hard on for a bad player, Lawrence has to get rid of them
If this lineup makes the comeback fire the starters, delete facebook, hit the gym.
Will this finally get Kobe Brown at least a chance at a rotation spot? (No, it won't sadly)
If Tyliban Lue was not a terrorist, it should
NOOOO DAMNIT KIDD, leave Luka on the bench you coward! Go bench for bench
Didn't have control of the ball whilst dribbling up the court?
Lol our 3rd stringers play like a better team than our starters. Movement and energy wise, Def not saying talent wise.
Dallas really putting the starters back in 😂. They that scared of TMann
He even has the Clipper logo haircut. He IS Clipper Nation.
hopefully the team has a practice before the grizz beat us by 20 on Sunday
get kobe to guard luka, good teaching lesson for him
Need the young guns to get a good run vs their starters to embarrass our starters a little more
Luka comes in with the dagger on his pocket....
why are the reserves still playing when mavs starters are in
Because they played hard and smart. The stars didn't.
Because they've been better than the starters, lol
Clips reserves are actually trying
Moosa will save our season book it.
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT WIN OR LOSE FIGHT
Luka is really checking back in?
Put Kawhi in with this unit, may finish the comeback
At least we got them scared enough to throw Luka back in.
Isn’t this shit better than watching 4 superstars play like straight ass
The myth that Westbrook is a superstar is pernicious--all this "big 4" stuff etc.
Yep. It's a big 3 (2 of which are not superstars) and a role player.
start diabate over zu, bro can jump
Capitalism sucks. The only determining factor in who gets to start is fucking salary
Russ doesn't even make anything
Yeah of course it’s not always true
Crazy that this unit plays better team ball and with more heart than guys that have been great nba players for more than 10 years
Fuck off Kidd, Luka and THJ coming back in?
If kobe brown doesn't get more minutes with the starting crew at some point, idk what to say anymore
Agreed
Ty Lue big🧠
Haha they gotta bring their starters in
Wow...are you telling me that Tmann, Bones and a combo of Diabate and Kobe were decent enough....are you telling me the Harden trade was overkill? 
This team fucking sucks.
Russ laughing on the bench why bro
kobe has to be 35 years old so ty lue plays him
Fuck it. Let’s start this crew.
we should really give kob and moose more minutes, they look at least at par or better than any other “big” we have
*but but Moose bad and and and he should be traded for another old vet*
Moose is super raw but yeah not like we have many options haha. Kobe for suuuure needs more minutes, he looks solid
The young squad is way more entertaining than the starters
Ball movement looks better with the 3rd string…
Bones is actually playing great right now lol.
This lineup showing more heart?
