How The LA Clippers Were Blown Out On The Road AGAIN
LA Clippers suffer huge offensive collapse in 79-98 blowout loss to Golden State Warriors. Can Ty Lue’s rotation decisions and offensive distribution issues be fixed before it’s too late?
Die hard Los Angeles Clippers fan and Host Darian Vaziri breaks down the Clippers’ worst scoring performance of the modern era, shooting just 18% from three-point range on national television. The analysis exposes critical third-quarter mismanagement where the team was outscored 15-2 with all three stars on the bench, James Harden’s conditioning concerns after requesting a substitution, and Kawhi Leonard’s passive approach with only 17 shot attempts. Key discussions include Chris Paul’s declining ball-handling against pressure, Ivica Zubac’s regression from last season, and a troubling offensive imbalance where Harden dominated 12 plays to Kawhi’s 2 in the first quarter.
The breakdown reveals why the Clippers are 2-2 with losses directly correlating to Kawhi’s shot attempts and bench unit failures contributing just 21 points outside the big three.
Discover the specific rotation mistakes and strategic adjustments needed to turn around LA’s early-season struggles.

Why didnt kobe sander play
Brian Shaw please I’m tired of ty lue lackadaisical demeanor…. John Collin’s needs to start
The biggest issue so far this year is we thought CP3 was gonna be a huge upgrade at the backup PG spot but the man looks completely washed. Significantly worse than he did last year in San Antonio. He's creating no advantages for anyone out there and our non-Harden minutes are an absolute disaster.
Lue needs to be fired ASAP
We need to start with our best 5. Play Miller and Sanders more frequently. No more Bogi please. He is killing us. I’m losing faith in Ty too
Ffffffffiiiiirrrrrrrrreeeeedddd Tyyyyyyy Luuuueeeee!!!!!!!!!!!
Every time they lose kawahi gets the blame what about all the turn overs James makes
After the Jazz game I thought the Ty Lue hate was unjustified. This loss I definitely blame him for. As a guy who’s known for his in game adjustments, I think he dropped the ball on rotations in this game
every shot is a difficult one. this is a team with little to no offensive scheme. Winning and losing is solely based on if our guys can consistently make tough mid range shots or 3's. That's why after every loss they just say "we just missed shots". No shit. When will our offense be able to pass with a purpose. Stop giving Kawhi, Collins, and Zu the ball 30 ft from the basket every possession. Run some off ball action to get them isolated on the block. And stop waiting until 11 seconds on the shot clock before initiating the trash offense we currently have. The coach can't allow that.
They need to setup plays for Zu, Kawhi and encourage other players to shoot/create rather than defer to the system every time. It becomes predictable and leaves us with less than 5 seconds on the shot clock for them to chuck it up. There are so many bad possessions that end up like that. I think they need to incorporate a couple of the young guns into the lineup. As much as I like CP3, but they need to reduce his minutes and maybe some of the other vets (i.e. Dunn, Bogi).
Man forget that poa what’s the point of having djj out there when he’s not good scoring the ball and his defense gets over blown he played pg good one year and now it get blown out of proportion we need to play our best players and figure out the rest later because defensively we still suck and we not scoring the ball well at the same time I’m over it
Harden
Beal
Kawhi
Collins
Zu needs to be the starting line up and stagger guys
When are you going to realize that Ty lue is the f problem. He’s is an overrated coach.
Bro why the f you don’t talk about Ty lue? Why
Ty Lue is the problem. Let’s get another coach. Do you remember when Ty Lue missed 5 or 6 games. Well they played good with the assistant coach in charge
You’re a soft pink analyst. Speak with the truth and rusty.
Fire ty Lue, we want malone
Are you even having a serious conversation about Chris Paul getting better!😂
They will absolutely not win with a Harden focused offence, especially in the playoffs.
James doing James things! Would like to lean more into him until Kawhi gets his rhythm. I’m a fan of the CP and Kawhi minutes honestly, they gotta get more reps but how can that lineup not work? Chris is a master at getting people in their spots, let’s let them cook a bit 🙏🏽MuchLoveDawg!!
I get some are holding out for ty Lue fut at this point what excuse can we give him he is a horrible coach he don't put guys where they need to be to win. Don't forget he got out coached by a rookie coach in the nuggets series last season.
Bogi was the worst player in the playoffs. He does not take the NBA serious at all. How are you a shooter and don't score a point until the 3rd game in the playoffs? He is way better with his Serbian team because he is playing for his country and he absolutely takes that serious.
Great take of the whole game Dime. Plain and simple the 3 main reasons we lost or the game wasn’t close. We missed shots we normally make/ turnovers/ lack of effort!!!! Ty Lue is not a bad coach but I will say what I always say??? His rotations SUCK!!!! The team is not balanced in lineups! Zubac is playing like 2 year ago. Why??? Because he’s not involved in the offense which makes him un engaged. We are 2 small with Dj at the 4 !!!! Our main 3 plus Collin’s at the 4 is a MUST !!!! If Beal stays in the starting lineup fine just always keep 1 of Harden Lenard or Beal in!!! Ima go back to my original2nd unit I was saying before the season started!
1 Beal 2 Dj 3 Batum 4 Yanic 5 Lopez!!! as Luddism so they can push the pace and three point shooters where they can space the floor. Cp needs more conditioning
😂😂😂
Play the young guys, play all of them. For the love of god, why draft these guys to have them glued to the bench while these old guys are being burned out. I detest Ty Lue, he is a clueless big booty fool. Play your young guys, get Bogie out of here, play Christie instead. Play them already.
I hate our roster so much ….way to slow and old 😢
