Should have given Ben more time. Strange, he didn't get any assists like he usually does.
Frustrated clippers too many turnovers, always the wrong time wrong place 😂
Why batum has no minutes?
It's time for Ty Lue to call it quits Brian Shaw coaches better than Ty Lue
They play too much iso ball
CLiPs 🏀
Ty Lue Sabotage
That’s what happens when ty lue coaches smdh . harden should have took the final shot , he would have made it or got fouled and won it at the line . Sga getting every damn call is rediculous too
There is so many variables as well
Teams needs Harden play better every night in playoffs
Harden is not going to miss games. He knows what time it is. He’s a trooper.
Okc fan here dime always respect your takes been listening since Russ was with yall! Can’t take the ppl on twitter too serious half of em just trolls but looking like this might be a offs series 1st rd would love too see it we everybody healthy!
Ty lue is back and somehow the clippers will be worse, he's the most overrated coach in NBA history.
Thank Harden for that . Just need him to shiw up in the big games and stop having back breaking turnovers ! And they stop posting zubac up it happens every time !
I can't believe you were gonna blame kawhi for the loss!!
This is why I’m not getting my hopes up. Shai had one of his worst games of the season and their second and third best players didn’t even play and we still lost 😂
I keep waiting for Ben to get a crazy slam and wake up his confidence, but idk if he'll man up. What's your guy's favorite lineup for the clippers?
Harden is injured he will be out for a while
Every dude we draft besides Terrance goes like this. We draft him, he never gets playing time (especially if he's a guard), he rides the bench, then we trade him and he does way better. Is that our organizations fault, Coaches fault, the fact out team is deep and guys don't get playing time, or a combination? Like wtf is Kobe Brown going to be? I see him as a potential poor man's Julius Randle, but he never gets time except garbage time. We play Batum, Kawhi, Djj, and Coffey sometimes at PF so where does that leave kobe? Then we play Ben Simmons and Eubanks, then Kobe when it's garbage time. He's never going to develop that way and we'll end up trading him. We should've kept Kai Jones and he could be doing for us what he does on the mavericks rn smh.
Harden needs to sit out. He forced himself to play injured in the Bucks series and that set him back years in terms of his health
I never thought I would question Ty lose coaching, but after watching B Shaw coach for that time and seen our team thrive with his rotations and lineups and playing people that deserve to play for that game is Big last night showed Ty likes a guy he will play him. I’m not the biggest dunn fan, but he should’ve been in over coffee and also should’ve pulled harden out once he got hurt.
I almost ended it all after harden limped off. I simply cannot handle another year where the season ends with injury. It’s getting old already
Harden might miss one game but he is an ironman. But the clippers and the timely lnjury bug has become a love affair at this point. That's the clippers karma.
Tyrone Fluke is back with his terrible lineups and knee bending to the will of the stars that carry his fake legacy. When Brian Shaw gives Bogi 26+ minutes and full reigns of the offense he thrives. Tyrone shackles him to the bench and the few minutes he gives Bogi are limited to his playbook. It should be a felony limiting Serbian basketball IQ to modern American* playbooks.
Brian Shaw > Tyrone Fluke
Bogi > Terance Man_
I'm right again.
To this not-a-coach Lue doesn't seem to run much of "a system' with the exception of specific time-out plays.
Whatever we think about who should be head coach, it's ultimately up to Ballmer.
Bro u dont kno basketball bro kawhi did his job James n even zubac n norm coulda had a better game
He didn’t get a clean look cuz harden gave him the ball late in the shot clock.. and they doubled.. if they spread the floor more and give him more time to work he wudnt have had to rush that last shot
Lakers just got blown out 2 games and I hear everyday that they’re going to win a ship im not mad at this lost
Let Ty Lue sit out the rest of the season. Brian Shaw was doing aa great job before he returned.
I didn't watch the game but Harden shooting 4-14 is insane. Powell shooting 4-12 is crazy. Bogi scoring 2 pts makes no sense. Zu going 4-9 for 15 pts is ridiculous. Everything points to Ty Lue. After seeing a really great coaching job by Brian Shaw, we can't go back to Lue.
