OFFICIAL LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS 2024-2025 SEASON THREAD

[HIM]

We are now:

#11 if Offensive rating
#7 in Defensive rating
#5 in Net Rating

I know we were discussing how surprising it is that our defense is ranked so high when we seem to give up a lot of pts. The lowest scoring team is avg 106ppg

The median team is denver at 114ppg

Indiana is first at 127!

I think we gotta recalibrate our minds when we consider what good defense is. We only give up 110ppg. That’s the 5th lowest. 10 years ago, that same number would have been the MOST!

harden

 

[rfx45]

they reviewed and determined its not flagrant (landing on foot) and then coach challenges that its not a foul

havent seen that one before

 

[sssstan]

THE SYSTEM

 

[rfx45]

nvm

powells turn to cook

pacers commentator super salty

 

[HIM]

Held them to tgeir season average!

 

[rfx45]

that kawhi reaction, dude must be loving not playing the 4th too

 

[rfx45]

kawhi smiling and jumping around like a lil kid is still the craziest thing i saw tonight

 

[HIM]

The vibes are immaculate

 

[lawdog1]

I pretty much never watch replays of games I missed, but I may an exception for this one.

I see Hali only had 8 - was it the T Mann treatment?

 

[Mister Meaner]

Despite taking one of those Ls on this recent surge, I’m still kinda happy for Clipset. to the team’s continued success on that side.

And thanks for iHart too. *Couldnt’ve gotten it done last nite w/o him.

Knicks fans were loud as hell at Crypto even tho Kawaichael was dialed in for the win on Saturday.

I see Hali only had 8 - was it the T Mann treatment?

T mann had him in hell, especially with the off ball/ ball-denial defense. On plays where the clippers had to rotate or scramble on defense, hali had to deal with PG or Kawhi on him. You could see the frustration, cus he took some 33 foot pull ups early in the clock

Also, Zu back to his rim protector ways, so there weren’t really any great looks for Hali all night. He had more turnovers than buckets. I’d bet that’s probably never happened to him since his rookie year

 

[Nipsey3000]

Harden had a helluva 4th qtr last night.

8

 

[commonsense23]

Please LORD! Allow our Clippers to keep this momentum, team chemistry, & HEALTH especially come playoff time so we can witness this throughout the Playoffs!

 

[rfx45]

brodie still winning stuff

 

[HIM]

Russ is hard to figure out. I used to think he was just being salty when he didn’t celebrate on the bench but then I would notice he doesn’t even celebrate big plays when he’s on the court. Then last night he was acting like Harden hit the Finals game 7 game winner

Seems like everyone has found and accepted their role. Except for PJ

 

[HIM]

Don’t let people gaslight you. The Shai trade was more for Kawhi than it was for PG. Win/win

 

[rfx45]

 

[rfx45]

gon miss the game tonight but hoping to keep the momentum going despite some absences, looks like there might be a flu outbreak?

 

[Nipsey3000]

Didn't know pg was out.

 

[lawdog1]

Looked like he fouled him (a few times) to me.

*Maybe not.

 

[sssstan]

with both theis and zu looking decent over the recent stretch of games (and hoping it continues throughout the end of season into playoffs), wonder what our big rotation is going to look like once plumlee is healthy

Good problems.

 

[lawdog1]

Very annoying finish to that half. Hope we come out for blood to start the 3rd
