This is a safe space Clipper NAtion, let it out
4:50 maybe the player had under prop bets…
does no one want to watch it back lol
15:33 "James … was gambling constantly" 😂😂😂
team that is just collecting checks. what do you expect.
Same stuid stuff Ty lou out coached kawhi getting cooked sticking 7 footers . But thats on Ty lou . James Harden dribble dribble dribble people open stupid passes by u know who . Know effort they need to drive to the whole more .get those giants in foul trouble everybody cant just shoot 3s they always stop going to zu .stop playing your favorites so long .if u dont play Defence u got to come out . Ty lou just had good and great players hes terrible
Expecting a team with James Harden to win a championship is like expecting Kawhi to work for his endorsement money.
I will trade Zu and Harden then fire Ty lue. They are too slow slow slow and slow.
can't overreact but this is who we are, slow and old lmao
if ty lue could barely squeeze anything out of those lebron oldhead cavs teams what makes us think he can do it with kawhi
its an older team id say give it another month to warm up but nothing is gonna change those dudes can't blow past anyone
once again we're losing games we need to win that will bite us in the ass in april
Clippers are a bunch of old over paid career losers besides brook!! 😩🤦
FIRE Lue, he's over rated otherwise waste another year.
I saw Harden leaving the Delta center, and he was pulling a mini donut machine. He needs to get in nba shape.
You guys gonna Like Collins alot…. Brought It every Night, even tho we was Garbage.
They came out with the same energy they ended the playoffs in!!!!! We all see Beal should be on the bench and Collin’s should start !!!! It’s bigger and more balance !!!!!!! Ty Lue took the L to put the pressure off the team…. But it was all on the PLAYERS!!!! All us true fans wanted to break our tvs!!!!!
The starting lineup… is questionable on defense, particularly when it comes to James Harden, Bradley Beal, and Kawhi Leonard.
That egg belongs to the coach and the players…efforts like that typically come from teams looking to tank the season for that number one draft pick.
Kawhi was bad!!! The first play I seen he shot a 3, missed and slow strolled to get back on D
Can we fire ty poo. Hes not gonna change his ways. Stubborn and lack.passion. alwats cross his arm
The SGA trade just keeps getting worse for the Clippers every day …
I don’t wanna hear anything bad about big Zu he’s the only person that was giving any effort
Trailing at one point by 37 points ! Wow!
this was 100 percent an underestimation.
Zu and Kawhi were notably bad on defense
Ty Lue is and has always been doc rivers 2.0. Never switches up and relies to heavily on talent of the talent but that’s good enough. We went all in with the older players and thinking they in the prime. Not anymore lol so many more hungrier and younger faster teams. Clippers looking so lost and people say “oh let’s wait to see chemistry build” bish we been saying that every season and always barely make it to the playoffs
If we want our defense to be what it was last year, then we start with Beal coming off the bench. Slide Derrick to the 2, kawhi at 3, Collins at 4, them Zu. Let Beal come off the bench and just go stupid for scoring
