Clippers lose 5th straight at home, Lue rips team, Suns to miss playoffs? | NBA | FIRST THINGS FIRST
Not B getting better getting better this is my rehab live from New York it’s a show that’s only a half hour so we got to go we’re going to be straight power pack Brew are you ready to abandon your clippers you can’t be Brew’s team and be soft I’m just I’m sorry
Like sometimes I feel like the Clippers exist just to tick me off yeah I agree just to embarrass me and just to say to America no matter what it looks like no matter what everybody thinks Bru’s not always right that’s what the Clippers exist to do all
Right now the here’s the thing with the identity I bet you Nick you agree that answer was just which one ties or hardens hardens yeah we don’t have an identity like he don’t know what the heck the problem is we don’t have an identity that’s just a general statement
You throw out there when you don’t know what the heck is going on but he is right they don’t have an identity because they don’t have a leader this I think is the Crux of their problem they do not have a leader Ty L’s a leader but
I mean on that roster you if you want to say PJ Tucker he’s been complaining have been complaining about not playing he’s not that good no no I’m just saying some people might think he was a leader I’m talking among their four stars three of them certain Hall of Famers maybe Paul
George too Kawai doesn’t really talk yeah I bet he probably hadn’t even said anything to hard about trying to block his shot he don’t talk uh uh Paul George admitted in Indiana he wasn’t the leader he’s kind of like you know I just want
To play Do My Thing follow me R is I think the strongest personality yes and I also think even when Russ was great his style his game the erratic play the recklessness probably made it hard for him to be a leader and Harden I Harden I
Think is just one of these guys and they exist in every profession where he just like yo I’m getting paid I’m a superstar SL celebrity I’m hanging out I I’m living my best life if we win great if not I’m still a Hall of Famer and all
That and so it’s like Wilds H little I mean quickly to answer your question I am not abandoning okay well you should for here’s three reasons three reasons three reasons got quickly quickly one the 31 in8 stretch did okay it did happen so they not it’s not
Like it doesn’t exist like it’s not possible two every team outside of Denver who I picked to beat them in the Conference Finals beat Clippers has flaws It’s Too Young Too inexperienced the Lakers are so so we don’t know what to make of them and then the three I
Believe in tyou okay and so that’s why I’m not abandon can’t be I got a lot of stuff here’s the first one offense has gone down the tubes I asked Josh I’m like hey what’s actually happened since they were bad and then they had a stretch like you
Said where they were excellent and then the Clippers got bad again offensive rating was 104 and a half and then it popped up to 127 when during the winning streak 26 and6 last 16 games we back down to 115 when you can live with 115
Yeah but yeah it’s a 500 Squad it’s not like a dominant Squad when you have three great players so here’s the other thing toughness is one of the things tyou talked about here’s a a play when in the fourth quarter where they need to get a stop that se yakum just dunking
Right down Broad Street simple just a simple uh it’s just a simple two points so then I asked Josh like hey can we pull the toughness stats and he went yeah he went into file and like here are kind of toughness rebounds Second Chance points points in the pain everything is
Just average and then of course silly team yeah I mean it’s just a silly team we you’re putting teammates in headlocks and and listen wild for is it before or after the All-Star break it’s after the allstar break so what do we expect from James Harden getting into
Playoff shape listen so can we just show you harden in the Clippers last 10 games he’s missed two of them so it’s eight for him yeah 13 points 31% from the field one attempted block of a teammate one headlock of an opponent less than 40% from the field so this was also
Predictable which is why this is honestly my favorite running Gap bag on the show what Bru love for the Clippers oh yeah it started guys guys when Bru love affair with the Clippers started the following things were true LeBron hadn’t won a title with the Lakers Giannis and Joker hadn’t won any titles
And had one total MVP between them and James Harden and Russell Westbrook were teammates on the Houston Rockets that’s when brw’s love affair with the Clippers started we were on Zo a pic and Brew still Five Seasons later can’t quit him up to an including two weeks ago when after making his
Conference Finals picks Wilds if you’ll remember the next day he’s like I’m making an amendment and it wasn’t the Clippers piece of it it’s my favorite thing we do it’s we got to go got second SP West is open got good news for you yeah uh Clippers in Philly tomorrow
Hardon going back to Philly I’m sure that’ll great time now for afternoon headlines sponsored by Ram trucks built to serve Suns just beat the Spurs by 25 points two days ago last night they lost two the Spurs without wemi Durant called the loss unacceptable here’s the worst
Part the L drops Phoenix to eighth with a gauntlet of upcoming opponents in their final 10 games here’s a schedule in Denver in OKC in New Orleans Cavs wolves they get more Pelicans Clippers who knows how good they’ll be Kings then more wolves all playoff tough teams yeah
Not great there probably hadn’t been a tougher stretch for any team in the season I can’t imagine it’s in years ESPN had something been like 10 years since he had to play like the 73 and9 yeah for the final 10 game of a season it’s been years for at any point this
Season yeah so go ahead watch what would missing the Playoffs mean for Durant specifically well I mean for Durant it would be cataclysmic cataclysmic because of what it would continue for me of course it’ be classic 2o um of course but uh because exactly it’s the remember before
The year these were the preseason title odds after they got Beal we can show them to you and okay we don’t have it they had the fourth bet they were same the title odds were this Milwaukee and Boston at plus 350 I’m sorry Boston and Denver at plus 350 Milwaukee and Phoenix
At 6 to1 no one else better than 12 to1 and we were remember I got yelled out about the trios because I didn’t believe in Bradley Beal and Company and now and so this was when we thought Dame was going to go to Miami I had the G to put
The Suns fit so maybe it’s not a classic 2 cuz that might be too high but here’s the problem for Durant bro the problem for Durant is what an odd and strange last six years this has been so Durant with the Thunder deep playoff runs with the Warriors obviously unbeatable with
The Nets one series Victory with the Suns one series Victory Durant’s first 11 years which were his 20s we can show you what he that that is games played in the conference and NBA Finals he lived in late May and June in his 20s in his
30s this is his sixth year it’s one game it’s the game he popped his Achilles now you know what I mean that’s it he missed the conference files that year with an injury for a player brew that great to not have a single deep postseason run in
The entirety of your 30s it’s I don’t want to say unprecedented but it’s very odd and I know it’s like well he T his Achilles but the thing is he’s been awesome post Achilles I don’t think we can say he DS Achilles in his career change like Dominique like CU he’s been
An MVP caliber guy he just keeps picking the wrong team well right I mean Brooklyn and and I know you guys mind me about the net didn’t really have a great chance there because of the injuries and then Kyrie with the antivaccine close sweep though yeah well and that’s the thing too Kevin
Durant is an all-time great player we all know that but he’s a he’s a piece cuz all he’s a scorer he’s he’s not a bad Defender he’s a good Defender he’s not a great defender’s not a game changer like LeBron or Jordan when they were in their primes he’s a okay
Rebounder for a size whatever but he is mainly a scorer so he has to be a piece I’ll say this this would be the worst failure of his career for a team now his worst failure his worst failure of his career was dropping a 3-1 lead to the 73
Win Warriors in the Conference Finals all right but this after that this would be the worst and you know it just it solidifies it I think it’s it’s really questionable whether or not he’d have a ring if he hadn’t gone to Golden State thanks for watching subscribe here to

I think clippers are in their own head with the fear of choking again. Their role players are playing really bad, like horrific, which to me is usually the reason why theyre so dominant. I think this is what also happens when you're too top heavy. If Zubac was a more dominant big man who could at least be a relaible third option in scoring, he could be that anchor that changes momentum and gets em out of shooting slumps.
😂😂 and yall thought he was on Bron's level. Take away a 73 win team that had won a chip and he is what he is. The best role player of all time.
Brou put FS1 on the Bud list for cutting yall short when yall are the best show on the network
It's going to be hard at 30 minutes to get in their 45 minutes of talking about LeBaby and how is everything affecting him.
Why is this show only half an hour now? DO BETTER FOX.
Give this show a morning block for 2 hours minimum!! ASAP!!!!!
When will KD ever be held accountable dude did not win once without the 73-9 warriors with the back to back mvp and had a superteam every year. He had more potential for rings than any other player ever
Lol Its crazy that they will try and tell us the Lakers are legit title contenders but the suns have a possibility of missing the playoffs.
They need to figure out a way to get this show more airtime at this point this is just ridiculous
Fox this show is the best.Give them better spot and time.
FS1 please eliminate this show completely
FS1 is going to lose one or all three of them, if they keep cutting their air time.
FTF NEEDS MORE TIME
Its almost like KD tore his Achilles in his last game for Goldenstate and has had inconsistant teammates since leaving GSW.
This show needs to take undisputed spot & give skip 30 mins to himself 🤫
FS1 give these loudmouths more time please. Also shoutout to Cabo Durant
So Brou 🤔….. Are you saying "The Clippers are out??" 😎
I think it's basically a fact that if KD didn't join the Warriors, he wouldn't have a ring. I mean, what have we seen to dispel that??
You are the only show I watch…all the rest are so boring compared to you three. Give these three 1.5 hours, drop the herd to an hour or two max and maybe get rid of speak. I don't know, maybe not get rid of, but it's so bleh.
Suns fall to spurs w/o wemby the nba is just getting their gambling money back 😂😢😅
FSF taking their talents to ESPN
yall remeber when Kawai made that stupid King commercial when he came to the Clippers? not even close my guy.
I’m a nightcap guy first but this is def my 2nd or 3rd for sports talk shows, too many old heads still watching skip to change which show gets cut air time
I’m disgusted with fs1 giving this show half an hour
Robert Sarver: “Miss Me Yet?”
Sponsored by Ram trucks
Maybe KD isnt that great? Great scorer doesnt mean game changer.
They miss Russ
Best sports show out there
This is the best show on Fs1 this need to replace skip and Nick need to be the Face of Fox
This show should take the place of undisputed which is the worst show on modern day television
Brou likes that 31 and 8 stretch from the Clips but do we then ignore that they're 13 and 19 outside of that run?
I think PJ tuckers is the hole in both offense and defense. He is pretty much not playable. Just my thoughts
These guys should never get cut short if anything they need an extra hr
“Of a sneaker company” 😂😂😂
Fs1s best shows in order.
First things first
Speak
First things first (short episodes)
The herd
Undisputed
Three other show doesnt exists as far as im concerned.
This show is FAR better than the Herd or Undisputed or First Take. I really hope the executives figure that out and figure out how to properly promote and support it.
Don’t cut my favorite sports show’s sport show 😢
It should be no surprise that the team that lives off of Star calls struggles after the NBA shifts gears and starts calling it right
