OFFICIAL LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS 2024-2025 SEASON THREAD

[lawdog1]

Doc's line-up management is not good at times...

 

[HIM]

Y'all are better men than me. I cut the game off when Denver went on that run before the half. No need to ruin my night two days in a row.

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ LOL. I only turned it on in the 4th quarter because we had the lead. Just in time to see us blow it ... SMH.

Also, DJ's limitations are really exposed when the other starters are out. When he's facing a Center that can hit from the outside, he can actually be a liability on D.

 

[P C H]

Damn law, you must of read my texts from tonight because I said those exact same things about DJ

The crazy thing is, as badly injured as we are, we aren't losing these games due to injury I don't think [emoji]128533[/emoji]

Obviously injuries don't help but yeahhhh

This is why I'm mad. It's things like rebounding that is costing us games. And Doc's inability to adjust in a timely manner. Denver had 7 offensive rebounds in the 1st Quarter I believe. We play defense up until the shot is in the air. They we juststand around and hope the ball comes to us. Then yeaterday and today we completely fell apart going into th half.

We ovciously win those two games if healthy, but we should have at least split them even with the injuries.

Don't wanna sound like a scumbag but I'm hoping Houston and SAS have some injuries sometime this season. Why it gotta be us every year

All this. I feel confident we don't have a 3 game losing streak against sub-.500 teams if even just CP plays in all of them, but we were in good position to win 2 of them despite the injuries and schedule and just failed.

In addition to the rebounding issues, I'm really tired of seeing our 4th quarter offense devolve into everyone standing around waiting for someone to make a bail out, hero play. If we can run crisp offense with good ball movement for 3 quarters, we should be able to do it in the 4th too. :/

And Doc should always feel like he has to bring the starters back in to close the game - especially when it's a make-shift starting line-up to begin with. If the bench is clicking, give them a chance to ride the thing home. The Nuggets went on a 7-0 run as soon as Doc brought the starters in late in the 4th yesterday.

So cp and DJ were in a car accident lol they weren't hurt but damn this is turning into the season from hell

So cp and DJ were in a car accident lol they weren't hurt but damn this is turning into the second consecutive season from hell

Fixed.

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ For real though, all the **** that's happened the last two years seems like signs from the universe it's time to shake things up with the team. The exceptional start to the season was just a tease to **** with us because we're Clippers fans.

Final destination lmfao. Hope Statefarm got them covered.

 

[lawdog1]

Apparently, CP wasn't involved in the accident. He came by later to give DJ a ride to the airport. #BornToAssist. LOL.

 

[commonsense23]

^^ 

Not sure if it was Chris Paul or Cliff Paul? DJ sang the jingle..."Like a good Neighbor, State Farm is there" Cliff Paul appears? When life imitates art.

Hopefully we get this W tonight. Looking real doubtful tho. 

 

[P C H]

If we can still be in 4th by the time Blake gets back I think we end up with the 3rd seed.

Hopefully we can tread water here and stay in 4th. I think we get up to third if we do so

 

[P C H]

CP is byke

Doesn't solve our problems though. Good to get him back though, this 3 game road trip is lowkey huge for positioning purposes

 

[lawdog1]

CP apparently going to give it a go tonight. No JJ.

 

[lawdog1]

I'm encouraged that PP hasn't played tonight yet. Maybe Doc has finally realized he's the worst player on the team.

He didn't play last game either and that was alarming considering we only dressed 10

The insertion of Wes into the starting lineup was a pleasant surprise this year. He's been awful shooting the ball but he's been a great defender this year, particularly off the ball

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ Wes' confidence appears to be shot. He passed up a bunch of open shots in the 1st half.

 

[lawdog1]

LOL. Same exact **** as the last few games, even with CP.

 

[lawdog1]

Good god we have been terrible in 4th quarters.

 

[P C H]

[emoji]128580[/emoji][emoji]128580[/emoji][emoji]128580[/emoji] these guys man another loss.

 

[P C H]

4th straight loss to a lottery team man

... with Houston and OKC coming up ...

Fire Doc. Trade everyone. IDC anymore.

bro we're good IMO we aren't healthy. Can't throw the baby out with the bathwater

Almost all our losses are to teams we won't see come playoff time

We've been damn near incredible against the league's best. As long as we're in striking distance of that 3rd seed and occupy the 4th season post AS break we'll be good. At their best, they still are better than every team out west sans gsw I think.

Also, Austin rivers makes some stupid decisions but man is he becoming a player.
