OFFICIAL LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS 2024 OFFSEASON THREAD

[lawdog1]

Seriously though, hoping to make it to more games this season. Took a new job downtown and I'm like two blocks from Staples. It's the main thing I can see from my office.

 

[lawdog1]

Blake in full beast mode right now...

 

[lawdog1]

Cook. Ing.

 

[lawdog1]

Speechless right now.

 

[P C H]

Fam they are playing awesome to start the season. This defense is spectacular

 

[djlunchbox]

This game is nuts. Lol Doc might give the big 3 a night off.

 

[lawdog1]

CP other-worldly right now

 

[HIM]

We are somehow flying under the radar and I'm loving it.

Lowkey mad that Blake keeps having to rest 4th quarters. He'd be having 30-12-10 type games

I love this team. Onto OKC, don't let up.

 

[P C H]

No slip ups. Stack as many W's as possible man

 

[P C H]

ON E of the craziest things about this start is that the schedule kind of suggest this wasn't supposed to happen like this.

The Clips are 6-1 rn against +.500 teams. No other contending team has even played that many games against +.500 teams. So the fact that they are not just winning, but destroying the schedule so far Kind of speaks volumes.

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ Agree. And with this group, it doesn't seem likely they'll play down to the level of the competition when facing bad teams. But we'll see.

 

[HIM]

- 7th straight game holding the opponent under 100
-2nd straight game being up 40+
-4th straight game being up 20+
-3rd time in the last 4 we've held the opponent to UNDER 40 in the first half
-5th time this season we've held the opponent to under 90.
-The starters have a Net rating or +27! :x


Please please please please keep up the effort and intensity on defense.

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ All that an we really are under the radar. Was listening to NBA Radio on the way to work today and they had a national NBA columnist on to speak about the interesting early season stories. Not one mention of the Clips in a 20 minute segment.

It's ok though.

It's stupid as hell, man The starters got a ******* +27 net rating

Idc, tho. Let's ride this hot start till the wheels fall off.

Really wanna beat OKC because I'm not tryna hear "Russ/OKC has their number" for the rest of the season.

 

[P C H]

Clips defended Russ beautifully last week

Forced him into a 14/30 night with 10 turnovers

Speaking of which...

Luc has forced Kawhi into a 3/13 night, Russ into a 14/30 with 10 to's, and Dame into a 1/11 night

He's been beyond spectacular on defense this season and he's actually trying to be more of a threat this season. Was critical of him but I can't deny the impact he's had on LAC

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ Yeah, I used to call Luc our "fake" lock down guy last year because he got torched a lot. But he's been real, real solid this year.

[P C H]

Why Chris Paul is actually having a better season than Russell Westbrook so far

 

[P C H]

Happy with where we are at.

Luc's defense in Westbrook has been awesome. As a team they're doing an great job of keeping bodies in front of him in transition.

Missed a lot of good looks, Roberson and VO were a bit unexpected from the perimeter, and we still caught them at the half. I'll take it.

 

[lawdog1]

If everyone on OKC other than Westbrook wasn't having a career night from 3, this would be a blow out. But credit to the for making shots.

 

[lawdog1]

CPMVP

 

[lawdog1]

LMAO at Westbrook tossing Luc out of his way and getting away with it.

 

[P C H]

Good win.

Really good win on the road against a quality team.

8-1, 4-0 on the road

This is healthy. 40 pt blowouts are great but you still wanna get some good reps in with playing a tight game.

I didn't think the execution down the stretch was bad either, just bad free throw shooting. Also the Thunder really were uncharacteristic with how hot they were from 3.

 

[lawdog1]

Wasn't a textbook finish, but I'll take it.
