Did you watch the game? Mr.Duran kept the Pistons in the game early! Cade’s slow start is the reason they got into a big hole!!
Chris Paul would better this team regardless. I hate that happen to him. CP was supposed to have started even for a few moments. That IQ is unmatched.
Lopez is definitely a better defensive option. I hope 🙏🏾 they keep Zubac.
They have James harden and Kawhi Leonard, the season was moot before the first game of the season
As a Thunder fan…I hope not. Sam Presti owns this year's Clippers first round pick with no strings attached.
Kawhi's playing great to scam a team for another max contract, he did this in 2023 😂
CLIPPERS RUN LA!
Clippers are going to be the team to fear.
Isn't this Shelburne's beat?
If Kawhi acts like these other superstars and jack up shots I believe Clippers will win a lot because he is so efficient. I always wonder why is this guy so efficient but doesn’t take a lot of shots and then I watched their games and I see why, everyone has green light to shoot but the last few games Kawhi was the main scorer and when you have a player efficient like that only good things happens.
Clippers are making the play in.. no doubt!! But when Zubac comes back Maybe they experiment a little like when they had Harvenstein before letting him go. Lopez at least stretches the floor amd wouldn't be a bad idea to play them at the same time maybe 10-15 minutes a game.
Trade zubac for a power forward like Bobby Portis, Naz Reid, and if your lucky Pascal Siakam
DAMNED NARRATIVE TRUNDLERS!!! Payola!!!
The biggest difference has been Ivica Zubac. That was the biggest factory. They were still playing shit basketball after CP3 left. They didn't look good until Zubac went down.
The Clippers younger players have tremendous potential. They have it going on.
Give their short-sighted vision and the potential outcome of January games will most likely push Zu on the trading block.
The clippers show where they could be in preseason Taron Lewis the problem he changed up the way he was playing them now he's trying to get back to that maybe it took two box getting injured to see what Lopez bring with you already should have known
Bogi should be the first to go, Zu has held the clippers down. People forget so fast. Lawrence Frank still needs to be fired
Lopez has been excellent as a rim protector and opening the floor for Kawhi and Harden to go to work. Kawhi is doing MVP stuff in this recent stretch, too.
Kawhi is a cancer and the Clippers suck. Stop your wishful thinking people!
Detroit is number 1 in the east? Iwhat a season no wonder this is the first I’m hearing of this
Rachel Nichols, I love your insight, intelligence, and beauty. Now Derrick Jones, Jr. is back. Chris Paul was trying to tell Jeff Van Gundy how to play defense. No respect! I believe Clippers can secure a 7 or 8 seed.
Chris Mannix! The young center is doing all right too. 5 games in a row now!
Make that 5 straight with a 41 pt win over SAC 🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Clippers already reserved their stay in Cancun, they ain’t going nowhere
Sooner or later the clippers were going to figure it out they are playing better but they still have to fire there GM
That lighting and make up is not doing rachel any favors!
Healthy Kawhi is the best player in the NBA.
They definitely needed spacing since Kawhi uses the midrange so much and part of Harden's game was that driving threat. Love Zubac and they can definitely use him during some matchups where he can bully in the paint, but that only works with Harden on the floor and not Kawhi.
Wow I miss Rachel Nichols
Best 11-21 team ever!
khawi had his best years offensively when he played with a center that space the floor and defends, back in toronto with marc gasol, lopez is still valuable! if they stay healthy though
Teams need to tank against the Clips to ruin those OKC picks
Trade Zu
They use ZU to pressure the RIM but the game is easier when a BIG can stretch open the floor from 3 López.
They just waited for CP3 to be gone before adjusting 😂😂😂, they really hate him.
make it 5 in a row
The issue is Leonard will not be available on most nights.
