OFFICIAL LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS 2024-2025 SEASON THREAD

[lawdog1]

I don’t think I’m ever going to fully understand NBA coach rotation decisions.

Energy is a clear problem in this game for the Clippers. So, why not give a few minutes to guys like Miller, Brown, Jones, who will go all-out?

disgusting

 

[rfx45]

We miss Zu big time.

mo was unplayable

Brian and Jim HATE KPJ

Brian and Jim and @lawdog1 HATE KPJ

Indeed.

 

[lawdog1]

This game ******* sucks.

 

[HIM]

game is somehow still within reach. A stop and a 3 and Chicago might melt down

 

[lawdog1]

Harden sucked in the 2nd half.

 

[HIM]

This might be the most pathetic game of the season. Dudes never showed up

 

[rfx45]

yah get vucevic or vallanciunas or whoevers available is ty is gon keep playing stupid games with his roster, apparently zu is also nursing a back injury so make that trade now, hell tell vucevic to stay in LA


whats worse is that everyone will probably play wednesday against the celtics (and likely lose) then sit kawhi and others the next game against the wizards have the same outcome as tonight then its the bucks on saturday


so im already prepared for a 4 games losing streak, might even be 5 since its against the suns on monday

 

[HIM]

The team is not that good. 5 game losing streak is very possible.

 

[rfx45]

i dont know, i think ive kinda talked myself into this team being good if theyre focused and i do like this team more than the others

5th in the west without a kawhi isnt nothing


i just think the team needs to stop f’n around too much, like if they didnt let the lakers comeback yesterday then maybe the starters would have more energy


yeah they got destroyed by the top 2 teams in the west but who hasnt? everybody has and this team still managed to beat the nuggets twice and memphis at least once


i think i might just be in the denial phase earlier than usual in the season

 

[commonsense23]

I want to believe that this is typical schedule loss due to the B2B but Chicago played the previous night as well so this can't be an excuse. I agree with what most of yall are saying with our squad. Lack of focus and KPJ are some of the reasons, plus Ty's inconsistent line ups don't do us any favors. NBA scheduling is doing us no favors. Gonna be a tough rest of the week!

 

[HIM]

We should definitely punt the Boston game. Let Kawhi and Zu get another day off

 

[rfx45]

one thing we can all agree on is that not resigning PG is one of the best decisions the franchise has done and I think every other analysts who thought they were crazy agrees too

 

[HIM]

We should definitely punt the Boston game. Let Kawhi and Zu get another day off

They listened

 

[rfx45]

kind of crazy because i like the decision and i would probably do the same if i were in charge but i am also conflicted on it

on one hand, got to play the long game and keep everyone healthy

but in the other, i feel like this team just plays too much games like these and i think id be more on board with the decision if they went all out and just destroyed the bulls but they didnt, not even close

feels like this team still doesnt have that competitiveness in them, a winning team would want to play and try and beat the champs but instead the team feels more like they’re in survival mode and just trying to live through the end

oh well

the plan better pay off and they pull off a win against the wiz

 

[HIM]

Zu is actually injured though. And Kawhi is obviously not playing back to backs. Just makes the most sense. The good news is I think Kobe Brown earned himself some minutes.

[lawdog1]

I don’t like punting games either, especially with the West as tight as it is, but I can’t argue with at all for tonight when all factors are considered.

 

[rfx45]

still such a dumb schedule

also, how did the postponed game against the Hornets affected this schedule and was made to be this tight?

i thought the postponed game was inserted this week but they dont play them until next friday

just annoying to get their own arena and still get screwed with these types of schedules
