OFFICIAL LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS 2024-2025 SEASON THREAD

[HIM]

Hell national media pundits are already throwing trade Blake stuff out there, will only be magnified if we're really successful without him which I think we will be

Right. I'm sure teams will be beating down our doors to trade us another star quality player for a guy coming off surgery, who will be an UFA in the offseason and will be looking for a max deal. Lot's of plausible trade scenarios under those circumstances.

Sign and trade for LaBrawn Jaymes.

We finna beat SA mañana. I'm byke!

^^^ We don't need to trade for LebLeb. He's going to sign with us outright for the vet's minimum in the Summer. He's going back-to-back with the Cavs this year so, after that, the only thing he can really do to improve his legacy is to win a ring for the cursed Clippers. Winning titles for the Cavs and Clippers? Instant GOAT status. Plus, he helps out his good buddy CP3.

 

[P C H]

Through 29 games last season we only had 16 wins :x

 

[P C H]

CP left hamstring strain? Really? Jesus man.

 

[lawdog1]

Um, yeah. CP better be OK.

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

Wtf

 

[lawdog1]

Wes. Dude.

 

[lawdog1]

....

 

[lawdog1]

Yeah. Like I said, nice win.

 

[P C H]

Lmao Wes Johnson had money on the game

But what an impressive win this was. Wow. 22-8. 8 of the last 11.

Beat the Spurs for the 2nd time this season handedly And the 2nd time was without Blake and with Chris Paul for some of the third and entire fourth quarter.

Think CP could have played if it was necessary so I won't panic yet but really good win

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ I hate when our games are on TNT because Barkley ******* hates us. Even when we play well he can't give us any credit. Fat *** bum.

Does he really? He been saying we'll beat GSW the last two years he lowkey be gassing us from what I see lol

Doc just said CP is day to day. I don't think this is a serious injury but I for sure don't think CP is playing tomorrow and I give him a 5050 shot of playing xmas day

Damn ******* injuries man

 

[HIM]

^^^ I hate when our games are on TNT because Barkley ******* hates us. Even when we play well he can't give us any credit. Fat *** bum.

I actually hate him because he **** rides us too much. Talmbout we better than GS. He's the reason average fans call us overrated imo

Either way. Good *** win [emoji]128588[/emoji][emoji]127997[/emoji]

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ Truthfully, I've watched like 5 minutes of Inside the last two seasons. But tonight they showed DJ killing Pau and all Barkley can say is "have your ever seen DeAndre do anything but dunk?"

 

[P C H]

CP says He just tweaked his hamstring and that he's hopeful that he'll play tomorrow

Which is good, let's me know it isn't serious

But I'll be surprised and Partly disappointed If CP plays tomorrow. I do want and anticipate he'll play Sunday though

 

[jumpmanpro97]

I hope he sits out the only way to heal up a hamstring is rest. Don't they have like 4 games in 5 nights?

Barkley doesn't watch the games he said it himself a couple of times on the air. I remember when he would give his opinion on the clippers and it was pretty much the style they have 3-4 years ago.

tonight he also said we're horrible wit out Blake

 

[lawdog1]

So, I don't believe we're better without Blake, but there are certain things that happen when he's out that are beneficial and should continue when he's back.

First, CP is much more aggressive offensively. Consistently looking to attack. He needs to be that way all the time. We're just better when he's aggressive, whether Blake is playing or not.

Second, the offensive spacing is better because we go small. I'm not exactly sure how to improve it when Blake's in, but there must be a way.

Yup. We might run a little smoother in th regular season but in the playoffs we'd get ran off the court once teams figured out how to shut CP3 down. I do think we'd be much better off with a dynamic SF than Blake doe. For the reasons you mentioned.

Still want Blake to retire a Clipper and would keep him over CP3 doe.

 

[P C H]

Some good action tonight in favor of LAC with Houston and SAS in some tough games. Could come within a half game of 2nd tonight if we take care of business and Portland beats a depleted SAS.

- Pierce should never play. I know it's a bit redundant but my God he was awful last night. In only 10 min he had a defensive rating of 112 man. Those 10 min could have been given to Wes Johnson who, inbounds plays aside, has been lowkey really good for LAC this season. He's been an awesome defender this season and I trust that with more minutes his shooting will come around. But we have been just, better with him on the floor this season

 

[P C H]

CP officially ruled out for tonight

Kind of figured he'd sit tonight. Hopefully, Ray-Ray can hold things down tonight for Chris.

Yeah I actually would have been semi disappointed if he played tonight. This is a game we should take, although I'm not so sure we will.

And I think Austin will get the nod as a starter in cp's place.

Edit: Sike, you were right on the money law, it's Felton.

 

[P C H]

Doc said it's not a severe strain and could play on Sunday possibly so that's good
