How The LA Clippers Ran Out Of Gas In Memphis
Los Angeles Clippers falter late as Kawhi Leonard and James Harden run out of steam against the Memphis Grizzlies. Is LA’s playoff hope slipping away?
Darian Vaziri breaks down the Clippers’ tough 107-98 loss, spotlighting the Big Three’s heavy workload and the role players’ shooting woes. With critical minutes restrictions, a lack of scoring punch beyond Leonard and Harden, and John Collins struggling on both ends, the conversation shifts to the young prospects forced into key rotation roles. The episode tackles questions about Ty Lue’s substitution patterns, the effect of missing veterans like Bogdanović and Derrick, and rising trade speculation.
Will Clippers GM Lawrence Frank and the front office finally pull the trigger on overdue roster changes? With the team sliding to 13th place and facing mounting pressure, how long until the Clippers shake things up—or is time running out for this core?

Opposing 29 teams simply know our 2 stars & majority of our players in our lineups are Uncs. Why would a rookie Coward cook ? ..Simply confident that our veterans will tire out.Kobe Sanders a 50th pick been playing decent..Just a young man's game. Don't look further..Lebron despite his great reputation getting cooked for a long time by youngsters.
Are we going to chant cp3 at the dome when they come back??😂
Is it true that Lawrence Frank is getting an extension? 😳
Yes the Clippers have had their asses handed to them twice recently by the Grizzlies.
Harden out of nowhere completely stopped playing defense at the end of the 3rd quarter. Can’t tell if he was that tired or if he’s trying to force a trade in the background.
I'm holding Steve Ballmer accountable for This he's just too passive a change needs to be made he just sits there on the sidelines looking like a stupid goofball.
I’m not that mad at this loss – at least they put in the effort and just came up short
Seen the last of a vintage true point guard ended without a retirement 🥳
to many 3s 44 wow smh
Not a good 3 point shooting team, then why take 44 of them? Maybe that’s the kinda shit Chris was hating on?
6-17 real fans knew this season and next season were gonna be a wash but not this bad lmao starting to believe the only reason we haven't traded kawhi yet is cuz he is still owed aspiration money, we're not winning a championship we need to change now cuz "giannis" isn't changing anything down the line it's just going to be the same situation but with a guy who can't shoot
The worst team in the league we won’t win more than 15 games this season
I fault the Clippers for creating OKC.
Lawrence Frank broke his back, building the OKC dynasty
We need to stop shooting the 3 so much get to the rack keep the game simple. When we miss a 3 our players don't get the rebound and our old players can't run so it's an easy basket for the other team. Also FIRE TY LUE
CP3 NAYSHUNNNNNNNNNN
Zubac’s is loosing value by the game he needs to go
I’m so glad you mentioned the 3 pt % thing, I’ve always felt like 36% means you’re a mediocre shooter and 38% means you’re a great shooter but it’s really only a 2% difference 😅 Kobe Browns needs to be closer to 38 because he’s only getting open to semi contested three pointers
Did you watch the video on hoopjab of T Lue saying fuck CP in a practice? I was curious what you thought about it
Harden has been been consistently good since Kawhi has been back. Also I don’t care Nico was a +9 he should not be playing NBA minutes anymore
I want Van Gundy as coach. He coached Patrick Ewing and Yao Ming, so perhaps he will feature Zubac more. Plus we might have more of a defensive identity and intensity if he's the main coach.
Bipolar
Shooting 3s is horrble how many shots collins did. Clips dont have 3caliver. Horrible horrible hortible.
We just suck.
bro let’s no go to clipper game leave them completely empty until they get rid of lawrence frank
The absolute truth is the coach must go terrible couching. He consistently has bad combinations of wrong players on the floor. I say get rid of the coach and trade the turn over machine, and terrible defender Harden. Frank must go too he said Lue was a good coach, he must not be watching the games. The only one who seem to be concerned about the loosing was Chris Paul.
Help me here DV, had argument with other fans on X, there telling me Kawhi has a negative trade value. I really find that hard to believe, i know he's not what he use to be, but i believe he's still a good player. I believe when healthy, he can still ball, there just getting off on our misery. Clips have got to right this ship, LF has a lot of work to do. We need to fight thru this mess, and stay positive.
Kawhi looked old missed shots he normally makes, getting stripped and blocked. Can’t remember the last time I seen someone block Whi shot
JC is a terrible defender 😅
Collins been bad man , he missed like 7 open shots
