How The Inevitable Occurred For The LA Clippers Against OKC
Los Angeles Clippers unravel against the Oklahoma City Thunder as turnovers and inconsistent shooting costs them dearly—does this loss signal an imminent need for change in LA? Darian Vaziri’ scrutinizes the Clippers’ 101-122 defeat, spotlighting Kawhi Leonard’s inefficient shooting, Ivica Zubac’s flashes of rim protection, and John Collins hitting a rare 20-point mark. With James Harden sidelined and the Thunder’s aggressive defense forcing a season-high 29 Clippers turnovers, the cracks in LA’s roster depth and offensive creation only widen.
Key points include the Clippers’ unsustainable early shooting, rookie struggles for Kobe Sanders and Jordan Miller, and ongoing frustrations with Ty Lue’s rotation decisions. As LA tumbles to 6-21—barely clinging to hopes for a play-in spot—should Steve Ballmer and management pull the trigger on trades or a total rebuild? With rising fan discontent and a daunting Lakers matchup looming, time may be running out for this iteration of the Clippers.

Heads need to roll in the front office.
Why is Yanik not getting any minutes ? Is he like really bad ?
The clippers have been a disgrace this season
And yall giving them your pick next draft 😂
How does a team that employee both James Harden and Kawhi Leonard have a record so atrocious. They played majority of the games. What’s the excuse? This was never a problem when Paul George was there.
The Clippers play better with out James Harden ! Why is nobody talking about that ? The Ball moves .and everybody touch it ! . When Harden play the Ball stick . That stupid iso Ball . And that stupid small Ball .
If James Harden played, he would have had 8 turnovers.
Every center has had a good game against Zu this year Zu go blocked 2 times by sga is just terrible
You need Prozac for this season bud! I don’t care we have a losing season I want more energy from you
The longer this goes on, the closer I am to not being a fan. Idk what they want us to do as fans. How patient can we be for a freaking play-in spot??
