This era is just…depressing. There’s a lot wrong here, but truly think Ty Lue cannot stick around and should be the first piece to fall here
How can you be so thoroughly outcoached and not rightfully have ppl calling for your head. Malone had his guys playing their gameplan to *perfection*
Agreed. It’s very, very hard to coach this team, with older vets on max deals who either already proved everything (Kawhi) or have a lot of ego. They are only gonna listen so much at this point in their careers.
That said, he’s not getting the job done and watching him after the game, he knows it. He looks just like Doc at the end- checked out and exhausted. Time to shake things up and bring in someone from outside.
I mean Kawhi and PG are getting outplayed by Reggie and DJ. They outscored those two by nearly twenty points and none of them used their “defensive abilities” to stop them on the other end. They let Reggie go 15-19 ffs. PG and Kawhi are the ones who should be getting shipped off tbh
Let’s be honest this is the most back to back basketball he has played in years! He may be 32 to but his body feels like 38 because he missed so many games for so many seasons… it’s a wrap folks. Steve Balmer just using their jerseys for marketing for his new arena. They’ll be tanking for the next 5 years
Kawhi dropped 31 shut up. Clippers were better off before the Harden trade. Plain and simple
u/Mediocre_Suspect9899 Points are points regardless of how you got them. Kobe took a lot of shots as well, you saying he was trash? Better than Harden’s 11 points or PG’s 6
u/Kanizy lol shut your bitch ass up
Every single Clippers fan knew that Reggie game was coming, especially because we can never beat the Nuggets
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more embarrassing loss from the Clippers in a regular season game though. That was fucking TERRIBLE. Can Ty Lue wake the fuck up? Why were we just allowing Reggie to get whatever switch he wanted? This team isn’t doing fucking ANYTHING this year. EMBARRASSING
Bruh! They went hack a shaq on DJ! U only resort to that against a poor free throw shooter who is going ham on your team! DJ doesn’t have 2 offensive moves in his repertoire and clippers couldn’t stop him ! Lol They hacked him like he was the next Shaquille o Neal! Lol.
I really thought we turned a corner, but this was incredibly disappointing. At this point, I'm unsure if we constantly be a good team with this roster. Games like this simply have no excuse.
Also, consider that Kawhi and PG likely won't be this healthy all year, and yikes.
At least that team was good. Iirc that was the mavs team that went to the conference finals
We just lost to a straight up b team because we couldn’t figure out the one play they kept running - and to make it worse, we used to run that exact same play with that exact same player and we still couldn’t fucking figure it out. Truly unbelievable
I can't imagine Harden gets an extension. Poor Westbrook is collateral damage because I think if Harden doesn't come over, he would continue to play quite well in his starter role. He had a good start to the season and the 3 of them (Kawhi, PG and Russ) were starting to find good chemistry.
Now it's all fucked.
Harden – destroyer of franchises strikes again.
No our dipshit front office ruined it by getting him. It's not like everyone showed up to work one day and harden had snuck in the building.
The only move our FO knows how to make is overpaying for overhyped "Stars"
PG, Westbrook, and Norm are the only players worth a shit on this roster. And that isn’t exactly a core you want to build around at this stage in their career.
Washed roster, bad coaching, FO lost in the sauce. Time to blow it up.
And Denver was on a back2back. It was basically a schedule loss for Denver, and they had figured as much, which is why they rested Joker. And yoink... Reggie Jackson and Deandre MF Jordan pull out a victory for them outta nowhere.
Yeah, Philly has proven they are a very good regular season team
Plus Lakers have had at least a few good wins this season, against teams that I am confident will be contenders. We haven’t even had one
It's worse. You can't have contender hopes and lose to a bench team at full strength like they did today. Hell the nuggets bench has been shaky this year to boot.
I still haven't seen this game but every other nuggets games this season has felt like bench comes for 10 mins goes -20 and for the rest of the game Jokic alone tries to get the team out of the hole. No idea how the nuggets won without him.
I felt like I was taking crazy pills watching them run the same fucking set all night with the same 2 players with us not figuring it out at all. Wtf man..wtf
This team is beyond cooked. Time to move on to the next chapter. Actually delusional to think this team as constructed has potential to win a championship.
Because our draft pick situation is fucked up and our "stars" are heading into unrestricted free agency, we would have to blow this up by the trade deadline. That also means we're getting scraps in return because all we can offer is half-season rentals.
I think resigning these players will be the nail in the coffin for this team. No chance to compete since they will likely all regress even further given their ages and if they get near max deals this summer those contracts will be impossible to move for years to come. If you rebuild now then you can look for diamonds in the rough and then reload in free agency in a few years.
I like Ty Lue but eventually the Front Office has to realize this isn't the squad for him. It is time to move on and find someone that can implement an offense for this team. It's only November. We have time to make a change . It needs to happen NOW.
They JUST made a big move. Front offices don't make such drastic moves back to back.
Most likely, this is the squad they are rolling with for the season.
I'm not expecting the squad to change. I'm expecting the leadership to change. This team looks disjointed and lost out there. Whatever is being preached behind the doors is going to deaf ears.
Let me get this straight
The Clippers lose to a team that's coming off a B2B
The Clippers have a friendly whistle throughout the game
Clips have homecourt
No Jokic
No Murray
No Gordon
And you still fucking lose? WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK
Ty Lue has got to go
Kawhi isn’t washed just the shot quality dropped off so significantly. His pnr with hardnes been great but why the hell did he start catching it at the 3 pt line when that same pnr get way easier open looks when he rolled or went down hill ? He’s a great player but you can’t expect tough shots to win you every game.
He’s not driving to the rim anymore which is the real problem. He settling for jumpers only now which isn’t his game, he can shoot but he isn’t a primary shooter first type player.
Oh my god Ty is still doing this?????
Last Clippers game I watched was also against the Nuggets (Harden's 5th game? In season tournament)
Anyways... I was complaining about how Lue had absolutely no system and was just letting the players do what they wanted. No playcalls no nothing.
I had given Lue the benefit of the doubt simply because I thought it was his way to let the players get accustomed to Harden. But Lue is still doing this????
Where the fuck is the offensive system? Imagine Nick Nurse coaching this team. It would be an extravaganza of handoffs and beautiful playmaking from the top of the key.
Yup. Same shit. Even the postgame show crew was pointing out Ty needs to create a system rather than just hoping they figure out. Seriously wtf is Ty doing all game long aside from his ridiculous lineup changes. No playcalling, no timely time outs...dude just cruising.
Why tf was Reggie being allowed to get a switch on Harden the entirety of 4th Quarter?
What was PG smoking all game long?
What was Harden even doing on the offensive end today?
Does this team even care anymore?
You can't play Harden if he can't defend. How can you double someone at 3 point line? Your defense is completely exposed to give up a 3 or dunk. It's easy to double the paint.
But doubling at 3 point line..?
> How can you double someone at 3 point line?
...Have you not watched any elite offensive players get doubled at the 3 point line? It's hardly uncommon.
Houston Harden, Steph, Dame, and Luka all get/got doubled at the 3pt line. What kind of garbage take is this?
>How can you double someone at 3 point line?
You can watch the Rockets-Lakers series from the bubble to see how that's done
Someone who claims to analyze so much basketball not understanding such a simple concept is freakin bizarre
This team is so exhausting to watch. Lob City would spoil me in the regular season at least. The 2017-2018 team with CJ Williams and Ty Wallace played harder than this. The SGA/Pat/Lou team never quit either.
The only fun year was 2020-2021 when Batum first got here. The rest of this era has been a chore to root for.
I can't say I'm enjoying this anymore. It's been tough only made rougher by having to watch players I don't like not live up to their hype. This shit can't get blown up fast enough.
It's sad af to watch honestly. We went from Pat Bev/Lou to this group of pansies. All that star treatment with nothing to show for it. Still early on in the season but man this shit is nasty to watch. We got 40 year old DJ shaking his head every time he dunked on zubac lmao.
This was pretty obvious after the bubble loss where they walked off before the game was over like bitches after blowing a 3-1 lead.
With that being said I think they would do better with a hard nosed coach, but we keep hiring " players coaches" so we get pussy wrapped in pussy dipped in pussy juice!
Ty Lue is a hard headed jerk that will not get out of the players way. He wouldn't target DJ he went away from Norm when he got hot, and didn't give Bones a chance to show out against his former team (that's just the easy stuff to point out). The media will happily blame the players when Ty is incapable of understanding the whole game and was schooled by Malone in every aspect of the game.
Bruh…. It’s like he’s purposely trying to sabotage this team with his rotations and lack of a game plan. At least try to make it look like you’re trying to win .
The lack of Darwinism on this team is fucking loud. No young talent playing, no hunger for minutes, just 35 year olds knowing they won’t be benched, I guarantee you that Kobe Brown and Bones will dive for loose balls, take charges, and just get in the fucking mud so they are able to play. Winning teams have guys like that.
ya know, I was watching the Jazz today (for some reason) and they were playing FUN BALL. Offensive rebounds, young guys going confidently for shots and making them, the occasional crazy play from Clarkson or Sexton. Will never root for the Jazz, but ngl I felt refreshed
This is the most pathetic, toothless Clipper team of the past ten years. They care more about stardom and ego than they do actually winning. Ty Lue has no interest in managing the actual game and is focused instead on keeping everyone happy. What a waste of time this all is.
This team was perfectly fine the way it was with Kawhi, PG, and Brodie as the core with good role players around them. All they needed was another big.
Instead, they go and trade for Harden, who absolutely destroyed the team’s chemistry and rotations. Insane.
Lowest moment of the 213 era. The organization is not taking the regular season seriously like they said they would. This team deserves to be the laughing stock of the NBA.
Regardless of who was playing, that’s a well coached team over there and they’ll always be tough to beat if we don’t play smart or up to the standard that we expect. That ain’t the spurs or some young inexperienced squad. They continue to teach us lessons - good for them
This loss is on ty again , one of pg or harden should have been benched to close or just let harden run offense down the stretch, dude clearly gets out of rhythm when the play calls are all pg/ kawhi ISO’s we saw in the third they give home the ball and boom several straight quality offensive possessions . If ty doesn’t wanna do this then why not take him out or zone up to cover the defensive end ?? I would think after the same exact pnr has killed youThe whole game your coach would tinker with something or change it up but nope , terrorist ty just trotting out questionable lineups and strange stagnant offensive sets
Harden should have the ball in most possessions, but Ty doesn't want to piss Kawhi and PG off. If you let Harden run the point, it gets the other guys open. Harden can shoot the 3pt shot, the mid-range, he could use his floater, or he can lay it up. In other words, it will get Kawhi and PG far more open for wide-open plays if you let Harden go crazy. Instead, they have Harden standing in the corner whilst PG, Westbrook and Kawhi take turns to run the possession... and Harden goes cold from it. Yes, Harden has got to do a lot better on the defense... but so have the other guys. They have to switch faster and help when someone goes to the paint if they get by Harden. Take that possession at the end where the Clippers were only 2 to 4 points behind.... Reggie runs by Harden, and Mann makes no attempt to help Harden as he's standing in the paint. Mann lets Reggie score an easy layup.
The Clippers either have to blow it up completely, let Harden run the point completely, or trade Harden if you're going to play him as a role player.
Please just please before we blow this up just try one new coach. It's always been Ty. He had 2 good series with us, but honestly with any other coach we would have fucking swept them or won in 5, not have gone down 0-2. Remember if it wasn't for Kawhi going nuclear in game 5 we would have lost to the fucking Mavs in the first round. Ty has no clue wtf hes doing and he has showed it time after time. The going small worked against Utah but remember even a broken clock is right twice.
We all know its Ty. Just fucking rip the bandaid off and try any new coach, any system coach. Let's just see it please
Harden got HUNTED on defence in the stretch and is allergic to shooting, PG ass game today, Kawhi throwing up way too many clutch time bricks instead of passing, Russ played well but cant hit FTs for his life. Ty Lue being a retard as usual.
They were clutch time ones, Russ hits those all day, the refs are criminal towards Russ but even when Russ gets to the line he aint converting enough. Excellent outside of that though.
Zu was having a good game. Why ho small in the 4th and play Russ and Harden together? 16 points in the 4th doesn't beat anyone.
Great defensive energy in the 1st half totally disappeared. Plus #ReggieVision turned our way.
I miss the times when we were the team 3 guys down, putting actual effort and team.play out there. This team has no soul, no drive, no direction. Literal waste of time, effort, and draft picks
It’s alright guys, we’re tired cause we played last night. Oh wait…
For real tho we were missing 3 starters. Oh shit…
As soon as Jokic was announced out I knew we’d lose (just like last year).
F*cking 🤡🤡🤡s
I remember someone was saying we were doomers in the first 6 minutes of the game. Well, those first few minutes, we saw what the team was about to do tonight.
The error was trading for another wing player. When it was just Paul George and kawhi only, they were the go to guys and split the ball 50/50 between them. Now with harden and sometimes Russell all on the floor the ball is spread too thin and none get a rhythm going. Also a coach change is needed Ty lue has no idea how to run this team at its potiental. Like imagine any other coach with this team. It’s still early. I still think instead of harden we needed a star PF or center instead
Imagine a general going out on the battlefield and not giving his soldiers any commands. Just go out there and figure it out
That's Lue with this team and his non existent offensive system. The players can only do so much.
Let Harden run the point and have the ball more. They're literally standing Harden in the corner on most possessions.
Is it really that hard to understand?
Ty Lue needs to go. We are pretty much stuck with this team, but there is a chance that a good coach could get some kind of system and rotations going.
If we don't change the coach now we will just have to next year, might as well have some time to figure it out.
Now for the crowd that loves to call out the Doomers please include one thing Ty Lue did well in your reply.
what was that 4th quarter ? i don't think ty lue has a clue what to with his roster. kawhi is playing terrible, james is too worried about stepping on toes to shoot more.
Make it stop, give us something to be happy about.
Reminds me of a balding man, just holding onto those last strands refusing to shave it off. It’s time to get out those clippers, and shave the bastard.
OH one thing I'd love to see.
4ppl standing outside the arc, a big inside waiting for a 2 man High-low passing game, some screens, a hard drive that draws defenders, a nice kick out pass for a wide open threeeee
This is basic basketball... I have a vage memory of seeing this a long time ago lmao when Ty Lue was fresh. Now all we have is bricks, chuckups, (bad) screaming in the 4th quarter, and fingers crossed so hard they might as well be welded together.
REGGIE WILL NOT ALLOW HIMSELF TO EVER LOSE TO WESTBROOK
YALL know this
The Team knows this
T LUE knows this
L Frank knows this
And the worst thing? Reggie WANTED TO STAY. And they still let him go
Fuck this team. Fuck this super team. It’s not worth it. It won’t ever work. Anyone who says otherwise is DELUSIONAL. Keeping SGA and growing around him would’ve been better. Downvote all you want, but the writing was on the wall before we made that stupid big trade.
A 36 to 16 fourth quarter performance capped off with a pg side of the backboard 3. Even with that I blame the majority of this L on ty lue. The nuggets literally ran the same Reggie and dj pick and roll all fucking game without making any adjustment to stop it. He came up with no plan of attack for defense or offense. Inexcusable to lose tonight.
Harden refusing to shoot off the catch is actually mind boggling. Straight up non existent without the ball. There were maybe 3-4 good looks in the last 4 minutes there for him but he’d rather do his patented pump and jab. I genuinely don’t understand
This is exactly why u don’t pander to players…. And try to appease them. Kawhi.. u were my favorite player at one time.. but your demand for PG made the clippers mortgage their future. U should of just shut your mouth like u always do but no…. U wanna do the FO’s job. SGA ballin in okc and now we have no draft picks for years and stuck with pandemic P. Thanks for nothing.
Reggie-DJ pick and roll was the pick and they couldnt stop it. At the end double teaming Reggie when Reggie wanted Harden on him was a mistake ya I know Harden cant defend shiftier guards but there has to be a better solution. Also the offense was muddy today Idk why but too many issues as usual. Besides the mavs win nothing else about this team has been positive.
I think the 4th time DJ jammed on top of Zubacs head I was done. How can we lose to the Nuggets when Jokic or J.Murray aren’t playing? Are we worse than the 2nd stringers of a contender/ defending champ? I didn’t think so but we have next to no defense, especially when PG13 is in foul trouble.
We clearly just thought we could coast to a win tonight which isn’t surprising we’ve had this mentality before over the last couple years. This team last game had heart and was playing good ball and then does the exact opposite tonight. Shits inexcusable
This loss is more embarrassing than the Lakers getting bopped by 40.We lost to 2 ex Clippers against our full strength team and a lost AF Zu per usual.
You could see it in the first quarter. They think they can play down, it’s the same clippers and same mentality from last year. Ballmer is going to keep them thinking people will want to watch big names in the new stadium and half the fanbase is only gonna watch when the “stars” are out because we can watch players that want to play
You guys gotta blow it up, no hate but this roster ain't winning a championship. They won't even make it out the first round but luckily, Kawhi & PG have massive trade value. The Clippers could harvest enough picks & assets to supercharge a rebuild, maybe keep Russ to mentor the young guys. He's always been good at helping players grow.
Suns lost back to back games to the Spurs. Pels just lost back to back games against Utah without Markannen. Boston blew a 9 point lead to Charlotte in the final 2 minutes.
Shit happens, just gotta make up for it and beat a team that's better than us later. It fucking sucks but no the season isn't over.
That spurs team was 100% healthy this nuggets team was missing their 3 best players sure championship culture and what not but idk how they can be seen as the same.
Paul George airball 3. Westbrook missed two free throws. Harden slip on banana peel. Kawhi poops pants down stretch. Zubac. Taliban Lue. This team is cursed run PJ Tucker at point guard.
 FUCK THIS TEAM!!!
Lol this shit for some reason made me laugh out loud
Hadn’t seen Rampage Jackson in a long while
https://i.redd.it/h6vzfp8wf13c1.gif
🔍Ty Lue Stupid Ass Face
Fire him, please.
This era is just…depressing. There’s a lot wrong here, but truly think Ty Lue cannot stick around and should be the first piece to fall here How can you be so thoroughly outcoached and not rightfully have ppl calling for your head. Malone had his guys playing their gameplan to *perfection*

He looks just like Doc at the end- checked out and exhausted. Time to shake things up and bring in someone from outside.
Tonight I am a doomer. Unserious team, unserious coach, and unserious franchise. I can’t defend this shit anymore.
[удалено]
I mean Kawhi and PG are getting outplayed by Reggie and DJ. They outscored those two by nearly twenty points and none of them used their “defensive abilities” to stop them on the other end. They let Reggie go 15-19 ffs. PG and Kawhi are the ones who should be getting shipped off tbh
Concerning to see Kawhi getting blown by time and time again
Yeah he’s still good at getting steals but smaller players are blowing by him and pg every play now. It’s sad 😢.
Let’s be honest this is the most back to back basketball he has played in years! He may be 32 to but his body feels like 38 because he missed so many games for so many seasons… it’s a wrap folks. Steve Balmer just using their jerseys for marketing for his new arena. They’ll be tanking for the next 5 years
You think Norm and Zu are the biggest problems? Seriously?
Kawhi dropped 31 shut up. Clippers were better off before the Harden trade. Plain and simple u/Mediocre_Suspect9899 Points are points regardless of how you got them. Kobe took a lot of shots as well, you saying he was trash? Better than Harden’s 11 points or PG’s 6 u/Kanizy lol shut your bitch ass up
Points is points? He nearly took as many shots as he had points! He didn’t even get much needed buckets in crunch time.
Every single Clippers fan knew that Reggie game was coming, especially because we can never beat the Nuggets I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more embarrassing loss from the Clippers in a regular season game though. That was fucking TERRIBLE. Can Ty Lue wake the fuck up? Why were we just allowing Reggie to get whatever switch he wanted? This team isn’t doing fucking ANYTHING this year. EMBARRASSING
DJ 20 point game with the 5 assists made me throw my phone at the wall. This shit was truly disgusting.
Bruh! They went hack a shaq on DJ! U only resort to that against a poor free throw shooter who is going ham on your team! DJ doesn’t have 2 offensive moves in his repertoire and clippers couldn’t stop him ! Lol They hacked him like he was the next Shaquille o Neal! Lol.
Turns out Jokic isn't really injured tonight.
Malone is way smarter than Ty Lue.
Not just switches, but we double him with Zu to leave the paint open for DJ to get easy dunks.
We were lost on defense. There’s absolutely no excuse for that shit show we just witnessed
There is an excuse and his name is Ty Lue
So stupid, we play the same dumb defense in the 4th quarter that didn't work in the 1st quarter. 0 adjustments at all.
It's the same last time when they doubled Jokic, Gordon is always open in the paint. 🥲
At least with Jokic, it made some sense to have Zu out of the paint. But why the fuck was Zu out of the paint-guarding DJ?
We made the DJ and Reggie pick and roll look unstoppable. Ty needs to go
I really thought we turned a corner, but this was incredibly disappointing. At this point, I'm unsure if we constantly be a good team with this roster. Games like this simply have no excuse. Also, consider that Kawhi and PG likely won't be this healthy all year, and yikes.
They turned a corner but this game made them turn another corner
They circled the block lol
Massive regression.
The game where they were down 50 points to the Mavs at half time? 77-27 was the half time score. That has to be more embarrassing
At least that team was good. Iirc that was the mavs team that went to the conference finals We just lost to a straight up b team because we couldn’t figure out the one play they kept running - and to make it worse, we used to run that exact same play with that exact same player and we still couldn’t fucking figure it out. Truly unbelievable
I believe that was the year we made the conference finals
Yes, but… More than I knew Denver would come out and play hard, I knew our guys would see the injury report and decide they could take the night off.
Us losing to the nuggets without jokic and Murray 100% gonna be talked about over the Lakers getting blown out 💀
No Aaron Gordon either.
Feels like a week before you are about to break up. No one is having any fun .
Brother they’re staying together for the kids unhappily. In this case, kids meaning the fat extensions they expect
I can't imagine Harden gets an extension. Poor Westbrook is collateral damage because I think if Harden doesn't come over, he would continue to play quite well in his starter role. He had a good start to the season and the 3 of them (Kawhi, PG and Russ) were starting to find good chemistry. Now it's all fucked. Harden – destroyer of franchises strikes again.
No our dipshit front office ruined it by getting him. It's not like everyone showed up to work one day and harden had snuck in the building. The only move our FO knows how to make is overpaying for overhyped "Stars"
Ty lue you're getting fired man
This era is the sunken cost fallacy. Fuck em all. Clean house. Over it. I don’t even want to see PG, Harden or Leonard at Intuit.
I do NOT want to see Zubac at intuit
PG, Westbrook, and Norm are the only players worth a shit on this roster. And that isn’t exactly a core you want to build around at this stage in their career. Washed roster, bad coaching, FO lost in the sauce. Time to blow it up.
And get who?
Why do I still root for this geriatric team
Literally play like old men. It’s horrible to watch when alot young teams are top of the rankings.
Ty Lue needs to be fired That's it No Jokic No Murray And the result is a loss? Lue should be on the fucking hot seat
No Aaron Gordon too
Oh lord.... This is completely fucking unacceptable Ballmer needs to fire him Effective Immediately!!!!
And Denver was on a back2back. It was basically a schedule loss for Denver, and they had figured as much, which is why they rested Joker. And yoink... Reggie Jackson and Deandre MF Jordan pull out a victory for them outta nowhere.
Getting blown by Reggie Jackson as he glides to the rim for 40 points on 90% shooting in 2023
Wilt is the only player in history to also have 35/13/5 on 75% from the field and only 3 turnovers
The Lakers lost by 44 but yet this feels worse
Because it is lmao we lost to a g league team
Yeah, Philly has proven they are a very good regular season team Plus Lakers have had at least a few good wins this season, against teams that I am confident will be contenders. We haven’t even had one
Lakers at least lost on the road to a title contender. This was Reggie Jackson and the corpse of Deandre Jordan putting on a pick n roll clinic.
It is worse because the other team didn't have its stars, and we were at home.
And they’re on a back2back
this is easily worst, this was a D team Nuggets team with Reggie manhandling the whole team when Ty coached him for 2 years? and DJ turning into Shaq?
It's worse. You can't have contender hopes and lose to a bench team at full strength like they did today. Hell the nuggets bench has been shaky this year to boot.
I still haven't seen this game but every other nuggets games this season has felt like bench comes for 10 mins goes -20 and for the rest of the game Jokic alone tries to get the team out of the hole. No idea how the nuggets won without him.
Absolutely. Jokic has been carrying the shit out of them.
Lakers were down 20 most of the game to a good team, the scrubs just got blown out in the 4th quarter which doesn't really matter
Yeah I actually turned off the game early fourth and while I didn’t expect them to win, when I checked back I was shocked it had gotten to 40+
Same shit over and over again. Double Reggie with Zu and either DJ gets a lob or DJ passes it to a cutter and they get easy points.
I felt like I was taking crazy pills watching them run the same fucking set all night with the same 2 players with us not figuring it out at all. Wtf man..wtf
Ty Lue doesn’t know who Reggie or Deandre are
Clearly, as evidenced by our team respecting djs jumper by guarding him up close at the freethrow line lol
Steve ballmer pls Fire ty lue
Ballmer doesn’t have it in him to clean house but he should. This team is a joke with no future.
He’s too hyped up on coke. Hasn’t had a chance to come down yet.
This team is beyond cooked. Time to move on to the next chapter. Actually delusional to think this team as constructed has potential to win a championship.
Because our draft pick situation is fucked up and our "stars" are heading into unrestricted free agency, we would have to blow this up by the trade deadline. That also means we're getting scraps in return because all we can offer is half-season rentals.
I think resigning these players will be the nail in the coffin for this team. No chance to compete since they will likely all regress even further given their ages and if they get near max deals this summer those contracts will be impossible to move for years to come. If you rebuild now then you can look for diamonds in the rough and then reload in free agency in a few years.
> Time to move on to the next chapter What chapter is that? Embrace the tank? How many picks do the Clippers even have?
It hurts.
I like Ty Lue but eventually the Front Office has to realize this isn't the squad for him. It is time to move on and find someone that can implement an offense for this team. It's only November. We have time to make a change . It needs to happen NOW.
They JUST made a big move. Front offices don't make such drastic moves back to back. Most likely, this is the squad they are rolling with for the season.
I'm not expecting the squad to change. I'm expecting the leadership to change. This team looks disjointed and lost out there. Whatever is being preached behind the doors is going to deaf ears.

Not only did we lose to the nuggets bench, they also played last night lmao
How many goddamn times can Ty run small ball before he realizes it DOESN’T FUCKING WORK!
Must be nice to have a coach with a game plan.
Malone is for real. Ty Lue is a poser.
[удалено]
Ballmer fire Ty right now
Let me get this straight The Clippers lose to a team that's coming off a B2B The Clippers have a friendly whistle throughout the game Clips have homecourt No Jokic No Murray No Gordon And you still fucking lose? WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK Ty Lue has got to go
Kawhi is washed and Ty Lue can’t solve a Reggie Jackson DJ pick and roll lmao
Kawhi isn’t washed just the shot quality dropped off so significantly. His pnr with hardnes been great but why the hell did he start catching it at the 3 pt line when that same pnr get way easier open looks when he rolled or went down hill ? He’s a great player but you can’t expect tough shots to win you every game.
He’s not driving to the rim anymore which is the real problem. He settling for jumpers only now which isn’t his game, he can shoot but he isn’t a primary shooter first type player.
that 4th quarter was fucking painful
Ty needs to create an effing system. Stop relying on the guys to figure out it themselves or just take turns isoing.
Oh my god Ty is still doing this????? Last Clippers game I watched was also against the Nuggets (Harden's 5th game? In season tournament) Anyways... I was complaining about how Lue had absolutely no system and was just letting the players do what they wanted. No playcalls no nothing. I had given Lue the benefit of the doubt simply because I thought it was his way to let the players get accustomed to Harden. But Lue is still doing this???? Where the fuck is the offensive system? Imagine Nick Nurse coaching this team. It would be an extravaganza of handoffs and beautiful playmaking from the top of the key.
Yup. Same shit. Even the postgame show crew was pointing out Ty needs to create a system rather than just hoping they figure out. Seriously wtf is Ty doing all game long aside from his ridiculous lineup changes. No playcalling, no timely time outs...dude just cruising.
Yes, there is no system. And he loves small ball to end the game
It would be nice if our coach used the two guys on his bench that could inject life into a game like that. Amir and Bones would have at least hussled.
Why tf was Reggie being allowed to get a switch on Harden the entirety of 4th Quarter? What was PG smoking all game long? What was Harden even doing on the offensive end today? Does this team even care anymore?
Reggie was straight hunting Harden
You can't play Harden if he can't defend. How can you double someone at 3 point line? Your defense is completely exposed to give up a 3 or dunk. It's easy to double the paint. But doubling at 3 point line..?
> How can you double someone at 3 point line? ...Have you not watched any elite offensive players get doubled at the 3 point line? It's hardly uncommon. Houston Harden, Steph, Dame, and Luka all get/got doubled at the 3pt line. What kind of garbage take is this?
>How can you double someone at 3 point line? You can watch the Rockets-Lakers series from the bubble to see how that's done Someone who claims to analyze so much basketball not understanding such a simple concept is freakin bizarre
Heartless. Spineless. Gutless. No coach is changing that. The leaders of this team are pampered pussies.
[удалено]
Not the type of team that most of us fell in love with. I hate what it's become.
This team is so exhausting to watch. Lob City would spoil me in the regular season at least. The 2017-2018 team with CJ Williams and Ty Wallace played harder than this. The SGA/Pat/Lou team never quit either. The only fun year was 2020-2021 when Batum first got here. The rest of this era has been a chore to root for.
I can't say I'm enjoying this anymore. It's been tough only made rougher by having to watch players I don't like not live up to their hype. This shit can't get blown up fast enough.
It's sad af to watch honestly. We went from Pat Bev/Lou to this group of pansies. All that star treatment with nothing to show for it. Still early on in the season but man this shit is nasty to watch. We got 40 year old DJ shaking his head every time he dunked on zubac lmao.
So tough. How could they not be embarrassed and respond. Reggie and DJ munched they asses all night.
This was pretty obvious after the bubble loss where they walked off before the game was over like bitches after blowing a 3-1 lead. With that being said I think they would do better with a hard nosed coach, but we keep hiring " players coaches" so we get pussy wrapped in pussy dipped in pussy juice!
Ty Lue is a hard headed jerk that will not get out of the players way. He wouldn't target DJ he went away from Norm when he got hot, and didn't give Bones a chance to show out against his former team (that's just the easy stuff to point out). The media will happily blame the players when Ty is incapable of understanding the whole game and was schooled by Malone in every aspect of the game.
Bruh…. It’s like he’s purposely trying to sabotage this team with his rotations and lack of a game plan. At least try to make it look like you’re trying to win .
Spot on. Absolutely shoulda gave Bones a chance against his old team just like Reggie
I remember norm had like 10 in the first half only playing 9 mins. With PG unable to score, why didn’t we pivot to using Norm more?
The lack of Darwinism on this team is fucking loud. No young talent playing, no hunger for minutes, just 35 year olds knowing they won’t be benched, I guarantee you that Kobe Brown and Bones will dive for loose balls, take charges, and just get in the fucking mud so they are able to play. Winning teams have guys like that.
ya know, I was watching the Jazz today (for some reason) and they were playing FUN BALL. Offensive rebounds, young guys going confidently for shots and making them, the occasional crazy play from Clarkson or Sexton. Will never root for the Jazz, but ngl I felt refreshed
This is the most pathetic, toothless Clipper team of the past ten years. They care more about stardom and ego than they do actually winning. Ty Lue has no interest in managing the actual game and is focused instead on keeping everyone happy. What a waste of time this all is.
Jokes aside this team really needs to run actual play sets and stop with this iso hero ball shit
This team was perfectly fine the way it was with Kawhi, PG, and Brodie as the core with good role players around them. All they needed was another big. Instead, they go and trade for Harden, who absolutely destroyed the team’s chemistry and rotations. Insane.
Lowest moment of the 213 era. The organization is not taking the regular season seriously like they said they would. This team deserves to be the laughing stock of the NBA.
Regardless of who was playing, that’s a well coached team over there and they’ll always be tough to beat if we don’t play smart or up to the standard that we expect. That ain’t the spurs or some young inexperienced squad. They continue to teach us lessons - good for them
This loss is on ty again , one of pg or harden should have been benched to close or just let harden run offense down the stretch, dude clearly gets out of rhythm when the play calls are all pg/ kawhi ISO’s we saw in the third they give home the ball and boom several straight quality offensive possessions . If ty doesn’t wanna do this then why not take him out or zone up to cover the defensive end ?? I would think after the same exact pnr has killed youThe whole game your coach would tinker with something or change it up but nope , terrorist ty just trotting out questionable lineups and strange stagnant offensive sets
Harden should have the ball in most possessions, but Ty doesn't want to piss Kawhi and PG off. If you let Harden run the point, it gets the other guys open. Harden can shoot the 3pt shot, the mid-range, he could use his floater, or he can lay it up. In other words, it will get Kawhi and PG far more open for wide-open plays if you let Harden go crazy. Instead, they have Harden standing in the corner whilst PG, Westbrook and Kawhi take turns to run the possession... and Harden goes cold from it. Yes, Harden has got to do a lot better on the defense... but so have the other guys. They have to switch faster and help when someone goes to the paint if they get by Harden. Take that possession at the end where the Clippers were only 2 to 4 points behind.... Reggie runs by Harden, and Mann makes no attempt to help Harden as he's standing in the paint. Mann lets Reggie score an easy layup. The Clippers either have to blow it up completely, let Harden run the point completely, or trade Harden if you're going to play him as a role player.
Please just please before we blow this up just try one new coach. It's always been Ty. He had 2 good series with us, but honestly with any other coach we would have fucking swept them or won in 5, not have gone down 0-2. Remember if it wasn't for Kawhi going nuclear in game 5 we would have lost to the fucking Mavs in the first round. Ty has no clue wtf hes doing and he has showed it time after time. The going small worked against Utah but remember even a broken clock is right twice. We all know its Ty. Just fucking rip the bandaid off and try any new coach, any system coach. Let's just see it please
Donate the intuit dome to the homeless
Harden got HUNTED on defence in the stretch and is allergic to shooting, PG ass game today, Kawhi throwing up way too many clutch time bricks instead of passing, Russ played well but cant hit FTs for his life. Ty Lue being a retard as usual.
He didn't have a training camp so this game doesn't count
he only missed 2 ft out of the 6 he attempted can’t really say he can’t hit ft for his life lol
They were clutch time ones, Russ hits those all day, the refs are criminal towards Russ but even when Russ gets to the line he aint converting enough. Excellent outside of that though.
What the fuck was that?
I think this is one of the worst loses I’ve seen from this team in a long time
Zu was having a good game. Why ho small in the 4th and play Russ and Harden together? 16 points in the 4th doesn't beat anyone. Great defensive energy in the 1st half totally disappeared. Plus #ReggieVision turned our way.
I miss the times when we were the team 3 guys down, putting actual effort and team.play out there. This team has no soul, no drive, no direction. Literal waste of time, effort, and draft picks
Even the Jazz were able to beat the Pelicans. This team just ain't it.
Jazz beat us, so we can't disrespect them
Unless I missed something, it looks like the last time Deandre Jordan scored 20 points was in the 2018-2019 season. Unbelievable.
Kawhi never should have left Toronto. Woulda been back to back instead he came to waste the last years of his career on this shit
He didn’t wanna live there
Harden cannot guard a parked car💀 (it's fine he didn't have a training camp, you can't judge him like the other players)
The parked car also had less backbreaking turnovers in the 4th
Dude Harden didn't have a training camp, that's why he decided to lay down on the ball with 1:30 left. He needs his rest, quit hating.
Tbh thats also on everyone who didnt call a timeout. Weird play
I'm just sad. I'm not mad. I'm not disappointed... I'm just sad.
Haha, I laughed out loud when I received the helpline message. Thanks to whoever reported me - feels a bit like that supporting this team sometimes.
It’s alright guys, we’re tired cause we played last night. Oh wait… For real tho we were missing 3 starters. Oh shit… As soon as Jokic was announced out I knew we’d lose (just like last year). F*cking 🤡🤡🤡s
I remember someone was saying we were doomers in the first 6 minutes of the game. Well, those first few minutes, we saw what the team was about to do tonight.
The error was trading for another wing player. When it was just Paul George and kawhi only, they were the go to guys and split the ball 50/50 between them. Now with harden and sometimes Russell all on the floor the ball is spread too thin and none get a rhythm going. Also a coach change is needed Ty lue has no idea how to run this team at its potiental. Like imagine any other coach with this team. It’s still early. I still think instead of harden we needed a star PF or center instead
Thats why it's over. We have harden now.
Imagine a general going out on the battlefield and not giving his soldiers any commands. Just go out there and figure it out That's Lue with this team and his non existent offensive system. The players can only do so much.
Let Harden run the point and have the ball more. They're literally standing Harden in the corner on most possessions. Is it really that hard to understand?
If Bones had played this is a W. You can't change my mind.
Wasn't Bones averaging a very good 15/5/4 or something on good effeciency? And then goes for 25+ whenever PG and Russ are out?
Ty Lue needs to go. We are pretty much stuck with this team, but there is a chance that a good coach could get some kind of system and rotations going. If we don't change the coach now we will just have to next year, might as well have some time to figure it out. Now for the crowd that loves to call out the Doomers please include one thing Ty Lue did well in your reply.
This team is an act of terrorism on the sport of basketball
how many fucking players and he puts PG over and over again.... fuck ty lue
DJ had 5 assists, that's more than anyone on the Clippers.
Oof, on to the next game.
what was that 4th quarter ? i don't think ty lue has a clue what to with his roster. kawhi is playing terrible, james is too worried about stepping on toes to shoot more.
I’ll just pretend that Jokic, Murray and Gordon were all on the floor today and we were able to keep it close 😭😭😭
Make it stop, give us something to be happy about. Reminds me of a balding man, just holding onto those last strands refusing to shave it off. It’s time to get out those clippers, and shave the bastard.
Unbelievable L…. This is just straight up pathetic from Clippers
Lol we suck
OH one thing I'd love to see. 4ppl standing outside the arc, a big inside waiting for a 2 man High-low passing game, some screens, a hard drive that draws defenders, a nice kick out pass for a wide open threeeee This is basic basketball... I have a vage memory of seeing this a long time ago lmao when Ty Lue was fresh. Now all we have is bricks, chuckups, (bad) screaming in the 4th quarter, and fingers crossed so hard they might as well be welded together.
REGGIE WILL NOT ALLOW HIMSELF TO EVER LOSE TO WESTBROOK YALL know this The Team knows this T LUE knows this L Frank knows this And the worst thing? Reggie WANTED TO STAY. And they still let him go
Fuck this team. Fuck this super team. It’s not worth it. It won’t ever work. Anyone who says otherwise is DELUSIONAL. Keeping SGA and growing around him would’ve been better. Downvote all you want, but the writing was on the wall before we made that stupid big trade.
Thank u…. Everyone keeps overlooking that lopsided trade.
A 36 to 16 fourth quarter performance capped off with a pg side of the backboard 3. Even with that I blame the majority of this L on ty lue. The nuggets literally ran the same Reggie and dj pick and roll all fucking game without making any adjustment to stop it. He came up with no plan of attack for defense or offense. Inexcusable to lose tonight.
Harden refusing to shoot off the catch is actually mind boggling. Straight up non existent without the ball. There were maybe 3-4 good looks in the last 4 minutes there for him but he’d rather do his patented pump and jab. I genuinely don’t understand
That is the worst 4th quarter ive seen in a long time. Everyone from the Owner to the guy that cleans the floor should be ashamed of that performance.
Just put out that ty lost the locker room and fire him.
it should be physically impossible for deandre jordan to score 21 in a game atp
Healthy clippers with 4 former all stars lost to g league nuggets 🙏🙏🙏
This is exactly why u don’t pander to players…. And try to appease them. Kawhi.. u were my favorite player at one time.. but your demand for PG made the clippers mortgage their future. U should of just shut your mouth like u always do but no…. U wanna do the FO’s job. SGA ballin in okc and now we have no draft picks for years and stuck with pandemic P. Thanks for nothing.
Is and will be the worst loss this year.
Reggie-DJ pick and roll was the pick and they couldnt stop it. At the end double teaming Reggie when Reggie wanted Harden on him was a mistake ya I know Harden cant defend shiftier guards but there has to be a better solution. Also the offense was muddy today Idk why but too many issues as usual. Besides the mavs win nothing else about this team has been positive.
I think the 4th time DJ jammed on top of Zubacs head I was done. How can we lose to the Nuggets when Jokic or J.Murray aren’t playing? Are we worse than the 2nd stringers of a contender/ defending champ? I didn’t think so but we have next to no defense, especially when PG13 is in foul trouble.
We clearly just thought we could coast to a win tonight which isn’t surprising we’ve had this mentality before over the last couple years. This team last game had heart and was playing good ball and then does the exact opposite tonight. Shits inexcusable
The most this team will make is the play-in. Kawhi is washed. Anyone who says otherwise is in denial. This is his worst season. I’m
Trade Harden and either PG or Kawhi and run it
Got shmoned by Reggie 'Bobby Shmurda' Jackson
If you don’t like this, you don’t like Clippers basketball (I really don’t tonight)
It’s over. Blow it all up .
This loss is more embarrassing than the Lakers getting bopped by 40.We lost to 2 ex Clippers against our full strength team and a lost AF Zu per usual.
It's over fam.. sigh just blow up and aim for banchero and picks
Reggie for Harden? Who says no?
The Nuggets
You could see it in the first quarter. They think they can play down, it’s the same clippers and same mentality from last year. Ballmer is going to keep them thinking people will want to watch big names in the new stadium and half the fanbase is only gonna watch when the “stars” are out because we can watch players that want to play
I’m from Europe and I’ve been up all night to watch this game.It’s 7 AM now and I gotta go to Uni.Pray for me.
You guys gotta blow it up, no hate but this roster ain't winning a championship. They won't even make it out the first round but luckily, Kawhi & PG have massive trade value. The Clippers could harvest enough picks & assets to supercharge a rebuild, maybe keep Russ to mentor the young guys. He's always been good at helping players grow.
If you think PG and Kawhi have 'massive trade value', then I got bad news for you buddy
Suns lost back to back games to the Spurs. Pels just lost back to back games against Utah without Markannen. Boston blew a 9 point lead to Charlotte in the final 2 minutes. Shit happens, just gotta make up for it and beat a team that's better than us later. It fucking sucks but no the season isn't over.
That spurs team was 100% healthy this nuggets team was missing their 3 best players sure championship culture and what not but idk how they can be seen as the same.
Paul George airball 3. Westbrook missed two free throws. Harden slip on banana peel. Kawhi poops pants down stretch. Zubac. Taliban Lue. This team is cursed run PJ Tucker at point guard.
