The Clippers: 2024 NBA Champions?
I’mma tell you this real quick ladies and gentlemen we can’t say that about the Los Angeles Clippers I’m just looking at some of these numbers the Los Angeles Clippers might win the title I’m gonna say this again the fear weather stepchild in La the folks that still rely on Billy
Crystal you you you’re very good you you are very good you as Robert dairo said to him and analyzed this that Billy Crystal they’re still relying on him one could make a legitimate argument that their two biggest fans is Billy Crystal and Bob Iger at Disney I’m here to tell you right now
The Los Angeles Clippers could win the NBA championship that’s right I said it now I was stuck on Boston because I said Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown there’s nothing else to talk about but I can’t believe in a team that’s jacking up 45 threes a game I
Just can’t I know Missoula can coach but there’s levels to this and he may Oka in Houston is showing how considerably of an upgrade he is compared to Missoula somebody got to say it so I’m G to say it and by the way as an aside I am still thoroughly pissed
Off that eay udoka went through what he went through he had a consensual Affair purportedly with some employee in Boston he was married and if you’re GNA make him suffer fine fire him or keep him but for the Boston Celtics to allow it to leak
Out in such a world in such a way that the entire world knew he was getting his Groove on somebody got to say it that’s that’s really bad and I’mma say this other thing too I know plenty of people black and white in professional sports who was screwing around in the
Office and lost their job because of it and nobody knew why we didn’t know about bumping and grinding being the reason for your termination it was an HR matter but you just gonna put that out there about them that’s why I love Jason Tatum I love Jaylen Brown this is not about
Them but that’s why I can’t root for no damn Boston Celtics because that trifling ass stuff they pulled and don’t tell me it was somebody else y’all let it leak out that’s your’ responsibility that was an HR matter but I digress their struggles are the Clippers game and if
You’re the reigning defending Champion Denver Nuggets I would strongly advise you to get your stuff together cuz the Clippers are coming now we understand that kawh Leonard has been playing games and we know that’s just a miracle just a miracle okay because I contend to you he
Is still the worst Superstar any team could ever have because he spent 48% of his career missing games with the Clippers and the 52% of the games that he does play he’s absolutely spectacular because he’s a superstar but the 48 % he does not play he does nothing to Market
Your sport or your team or the city it’s just ridiculous but he is a superstar basketball player he is the real deal and this brother is playing on an elite level but I’m just looking ladies and gentlemen and I want you to understand what the hell is going on with the Los
Angeles Clippers since December 1st they have the best record in basketball at 26 and5 they lead the NBA in offensive efficiency they lead the NBA in field goal perent percentage shooting at 51.1% they lead the NBA in three-point field goal percentage shooting at 41.8% they lead the NBA in free throw percentage
Shooting at 83.7% they’ve got six different players averaging double figures in scoring on the season and let me go a step further kawh Leonard is shooting 45.7% from three-point range which is third in the NBA Norman PO is shooting 45% which is seventh in the NBA some dude name armir
Coffee as in the coffee you drink I never heard of him I’m watching this brother he can play this brother can play he’s shooting 43.9% thanel TH or Theus however the hell you pronounce his name 42% James Harden at 41% Paul George at 42% they’ve got six players shooting above 40% from
Three oh my God oh my God these brothers the Los Angeles Clippers may win it all and right before they move to their new arena in Englewood we’ve been looking at the crypto.com arena which is a name that I hate wishing that it was called The Staple Center
Still but there I say Lake a nation with their purple and gold if they don’t do something about it you might see fans trickling over to Inglewood California this is getting very interesting and Russell Westbrook is doing his thing too major props to him which I’ll get into
Later oh there’s a lot to talk about with the Los Angeles Clippers right now they’re mathematically ahead is the number one seed in the Western Conference which means the road to the finals goes through LA’s other team LA’s other team LeBron you sure you want to
Stay sure you don’t want to leave town bro you sure LeBron that you can stomach the Los Angeles Clippers being the team in town while the Lakers are the sideshow just a question my brother just a just a question

. . . Clippers aint winning nothing
And Boston aint winning NOTHING.
Amir Coffeey hahah
Would be timed so nicely with them opening new arena next season
Let's see, Playoff PG's curse must be broken. Lenard must stay healthy and Harden must not disappear and disappoint in the moments that count. We'll see, looks good in the "Regular Season" brother Stephen A.
Nah. Not entire world. Not entire worl. /
Clippers are for REAL
ON POINT 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽💯💯💯
Every week y'all saying a different team winning the title but last year none of y'all gave nuggets a chance well this year's Nuggets gonna demolish all y'all picks hehehe
Keep the same energy yall had when Harden arrived and stop jinxed this team.
Id b so happy for russ🎉🎉🎉
Well the man smacked the vice president of operations of Celtics wife that’s why it got out
Stephen A. If you’re playing, especially you’re winning, that’s promoting the NBA
I love how you and all the popular analyst insist on committing to LA teams no matter what. Wouldn’t give credit to Denver until we won. Shits wack. They’ll lose in the playoffs you’ll see bro.
It would be great for the Clippers to finally win a title, but as far as LA sports in general go, the Lakers will always be the more popular sports team in Los Angeles. The Clippers would've been better off relocating to Seattle rather than relocating to a new arena still in the state of California. After all this decade has so far been a success for L.A sports teams, the Lakers & Dodgers won titles in 2020, the Rams won the Superbowl in 2022, so it would make sense for the Clippers to be the 2024 NBA champions this year based on that 2 year trend.
The pelicans disagree
The pelicans had a lot to say as well.
Does Stephen A's dumbass really think that Boston could have fired Ime right before the season started, a coach who just lead them to the finals a year before, and not give the reason for why he was fired? Does he think the media and reporters wouldn't have figured it out regardless?
Kawhi going to make all the haters look like they are… jokes
I remember this dude hating on my clippers
Steven A. losing his mind faster than losing his hair. The Clippers are going to win the championship and put the new banner in their new home. So long Lakers. The only thing Crypto will have to entertain the public will be the Grammys and Kobe's statue.
Denver is literally playing better than last year and jokic is playing even less minutes 33 this season, no team is beating healthy denver with jokic and jamal playing 40+ minutes
Mf acting like Joe can’t coach
No Clipper fan cares about whether or not Kawhi markets the sport of basketball or the team. Only SAS does.
I still got the Clippers winning it all. Heck. I had them winning it all whenever Kawhi goes. Lol. Im a Spurs fan and Kawhi is raw once the playoffs come around. Fingers crossed yall
Pg has to stop turning the ball over come on pg 13
Right now harden is the 2nd best player on that team sorry pg
How are the kings 29 and 30 they played 59 games already wtf
Man, where's the positivity SAS? If you can't rant on his injuries you'll rant on load management. If you can't rant on load management (this year especially) you'll rant on the issue with how much he doesn'f market the game or his team.
I get it's your job to market yourself, and many sports, and to show up to work- that's how you get paid. So SAS, your bias is showing; we don't all play by the same rules. He's so great he can sit 2-3 seasons and a team will still want him for when he's healthy. Take your issues up with Balmer. Why not call him out for robbing fans and wasting cap space on a guy that sits so much? Guess it's tough to go up against a billionaire on repeat huh?
Even when he shows up to work, doesn't load manage, you'll still call him the worst superstar.
He's still a superstar. And he don't need to yell or pound his chest to do it. He let's his play talk. If that's not marketing the sport and his team, idk what is. Grind over glamour.
Yall be capping because it's a bigger market. Love for russ and harden to get a ring or a fact, but give the same respect to okc thunder. They been off and on hold the top spot with the toughest division in the nba this year with wolves, thunder, defending Champs nuggets.
Clippers get it for the first time in what 50ish games or whatever is crazzzzy to me
