Clippers need to blow up their roster and start over. Trade James Harden to Atlanta Hawks for Trae Young , trade Kawhi Leonard to Memphis Grizzlies for Ja Morant. Trae & Ja in the backcourt for the New Look Clippers?
What happened Kawhi is the new king … he’s going to win a chip before Lebron 🤣
He has a geriatric team. It’s not 2016 anymore. The new generation is here. Why are you expecting 40 Chris Paul and kawhi and harden to be relevant. Problem is media can’t move on. It’s irrelevant. They need to start over.
Fire TyLue!
They need to completely blow it up, starting with the coach.
Mannix is so condescending- Rachel has way higher Hoops IQ.
Ballmer is probably keeping sports illustrated afloat. Sports illustrated should’ve folded during the pandemic.
All the "experts" on their shows were talking about a championship run for the clippers before the season…imagine thinking adding old vets lopez, cp3, & brad beal & thinking that would make the team better. + An often injured kawhi…the ship sunk before it sailed off..
Norman Powell to bark in your ear.
He should have done that in the postseason
it’s not about the defense clipper fan has entered the chat the type of system that Tallu likes to run we don’t have the players for we just don’t have the offensive weapons for his system and that’s why it just doesn’t work. It just doesn’t Tyron Luis heavy ice ball. He likes James Harden because who does James Harden play like LeBron James that’s not the way kawhi play that’s why him and Kawhi don’t mess.
Norman Powell wasn’t shit and I try to get people to understand that all Norman Powell was was a scorer and that’s where the train stopped with him if you go back and watch that Denver series that’s the reason why he was allowed to walk Norman power is a fucking bum and I’m tired of people overpowering as if Norman Powell was just to savior for us because he wasn’t Norman powell wasn’t shit. There was games where I remember him and Harden was playing and he just couldn’t do nothing. He just couldn’t find his rhythm. The truth is power is not a star player. He’s a complementary starter. He’s a great off the bench guy, but I’m not putting my feet in Norman Powell‘s hands. I’ve seen what he did last year. I’m not Interested so I wish people would throw off his dick cause trying to kill on my nerves now.
another thing is a lot of players that we have weren’t good last year and they turned around and brought back again this year, which didn’t make sense to me Chris Dunn horrible great defense, but he can’t score bogey I don’t know why we traded for Bob Don Novich coming from Atlanta, cause Atlanta left him at home. He wasn’t doing nothing down there in Georgia. They didn’t want him and we call ourselves trading him. The truth is we shouldn’t never got rid of Amir coffee, but they thought that getting rid of coffee replacing him with Bogdanovic was gonna be something beneficial and it just didn’t materialize into anything. The the fourth guy I want to mention sorry is Zubac we should’ve been moved on from him because he can’t space the floor out and he can’t scroll up outside of the key and another thing he hasn’t gotten better every summer he comes back the same player. I think we need to move on from him at the deadline as well.
but it’s not really Bradley‘s fault the truth is Bradley hasn’t been healthy and I need people to understand something. These guys are not cubicle workers. Their basketball players at some point your body just says we just can’t do it no more and these guys they’re entitled to break down bro like this has been years of fucking high level of play. This is why I don’t understand why these media abundant and fans can’t seem to understand that now these guys were cubicle workers and they were breaking down then we can have this discussion, but these guys are NBA players 82 games for 12 to 13 years straight, bro that’s a lot of fucking wear and tear on your body, there’s not enough medicine there’s not enough science there’s not enough fucking anything in the world to prevent certain shit
But Balmer is really entertaining!
Clippers have not shot at the playoffs when Kawhi is hurt half the time and takes load management days off. Flawed roster. Team is not good and only shot is of Kawhi plays every game and we all know that is not happening. Also they need to investigate Tyronn Lue. No explanation needed. If u know u know. Easy money 4th quarter live bet.
that’s another thing stop pushing that narrative that his trait was just a domino effect like that number one understand something is nobody in this world that would’ve took him at that time over Kawhi and Paul George largely due to the fact Kawai had just came off a championship run Paul George was coming off his best season efficiently since injury with Oklahoma. Are you fucking kidding me? What are we talking about here and if we really want to be technical about SGA it wasn’t until Oklahoma built around him that he became something. He was nothing before that he barely even made the fucking playoffs, his first 2 to 3 seasons in Oklahoma get the fuck out of here
For the record okc does have the clippers pick in 2026
They need to fire Lawrence Frank and rebuild
So I guess that Aspiration scandal gets scrape under the rug and nobody talks about it now? No punishment and nothing. I guess
Time to blow it all up. Whole team looks uninspired. When zubac is getting dominated like a rookie, it’s time for a fresh start
Our GM MUST be investigated. He gave away all our picks and SGA for NOTHING. He crippled us this year with all these old geezers. Bro set us up for FAILER.
Ty Lue is the problem…
He is destroying John Collins!!!
Clippers always start bad and end up in the playoff.
They're just the Clippers anyway..
Clippers deserve everything they got….
I like having Nichols on this show. Almost zero basketball analysis, but she makes great comments. It’s like having a normal fan on the microphone.
Ty Lue and Jeff Van Gundy tearing their hair out!?!!?😂😂
Should blow up the roster, more the coach, and change the name of the team. It's a curse that needs to be burned.
Tired of these experts that just comment on what they’ve read rather than watching the games like we fans do. And you gotta be a hoophead too, understand basketball and even somewhat athletic to really understand . T Lue is a fraud . We are good enough and older but deep. T Lue playin wrong guys starting with Derrick Jones over Collins at the 4.CP can make these guys better. What he’s asked to do(distribute,hit mid range and occasional 3) can still be done by him. Still looks quick enough. Fire the FRAUD before this season wastes away.
Clippers cant tank or blow it up they dont own their pick. All they can do is run back this old ass squad n hope some free agent signs and saves with this franchise.
Thunder have this years clipper pick
