Kawhi is a special player, a hall of famer but you can’t rely on him to ever be available in the playoffs at this point in his career. It’s time to move on

I agree bro. Kawhi body betrays him every season around the same dam time🤦🏾♂️. And to think they (clippers) just gave him an extension…Nobody is gonna take his Contract.. PG definitely mite be on the Move!

Kawhi has a GENIUS team around him. he s been injured for EIGHT YEARS now, and they have managed to con teams out of HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars peddling this three legged horse to them. PURE GENIUS.
What...?! James Harden comes up small in a critical playoff game? I cannot believe it. That never happens.

Also there is no way in hell that Dallas is better than the clippers with a healthy kawhi - they won 2 games without him easily & they have to change their whole game without him
Kawhi was doing his best nail Clipper impression.

Loved him in SA but he is clearly selfish and could not care a whit what any team thinks or cares about even if it damages him indirectly too.
I was thinking same thing TJ was about Embiid and Kawhi…they should be replaced on Team USA by players who aren’t severe injury risks.

They should bring Banchero and triple J since they are younger and played well in the World Cup last summer (plus you need to be big for international play), or if they wanna have another veteran superstar swap out one of them for Kyrie.
How Kawahi always injured when he barely plays? Lakers dodged a bullet
Someone said that the clippers was doing the James harden challenge
Maybe just maybe we can now begin to praise teams when and only when, they accomplish something.
This is just the Clippers special season 13. Every beginning of the season people praise them, then crash in playoff with styles. Street cloth Kawhi, playoff Pee, playoff James Harden and Westbrick oof

The Clippers remind me of the Cowboys. They do great things in the regular season. 50+ wins. One of the best offenses in the game. Got great defenders. Got spunky & nasty bench players. But they all fall apart in the playoffs. Just like Dak ain't THAT DUDE the Clippers don't have THAT DUDE to get them where they wanna go. But the Mavs have TWO of THOSE DUDES and that's how you end up with a 30 point win over the higher seed.
Kawhi Leonard will NEVER be 100% healthy again. The days of even saying, "we'll load manage him for the playoffs"is a thing of the past. What's even MORE mystifying is Ballmer's decision to give Kawhi ANOTHER contract extension.
Lasorda had the best analogy for missing, “he couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat.”

Welcome back rich
Kawhi would be thought of quite differently if he’d stayed in Toronto and gone back to back (which he would’ve - 2020 Raps would’ve beaten the Bubble Lakers)
THAT HOME CROWD WAS DEAD!!!!!!!
Rich, Clips are done!
Its the clippers lets build a super team just to not get past the 2nd round they been doing this for a decade
Kawhi is a cardboard cutout! Show some bloody emotion!
The clippers are a damn shame , no heart
I know the guys were saying it tongue in cheek but Wemby seems to have a bit more grit and determination than Joel (though he did well to play through Bell's Palsy, that must have been really tough), I think he will embrace the challenge of trying to beat a full strength USA team with France rather than doing a KD and defecting to the stronger team.
It shows when ppl listen to media more than actually watch the players. If they didn’t but into the weird media hit job on Kyrie they would notice this isn’t new for him. He always has been top level
The Clippers are the most stacked team in the NBA. If they fired all four “stars” and promoted the bench, they would probably have a better record next year. Guys like Terence Mann are in arrested development right now, going nowhere because their playing time is being stolen. And at this point in his career Norm Powell is probably a better player than KL.
Clippers winning game 6 just feels like something they would do.

There's, lesson,here for the big time billionaires who get into the sports franchise ownership game, and think they can just buy their way into making the big splash acquisitions for immediate title contention. Steve Ballmer made HUGE splash acquiring Paul George and Kahwi Leonard as a,package. When it became abundantly clear that it wasn't the flex that he thought it was, Ballmer decided to add mercuriial superstar James Harden, and finally, a dash of whatever is left of former MVP candidate Russell Westbrook. Throw all that in with Ty Lue, seen as one of the best of the current crop of young NBA veteran coaches. Four years later, and there's no way to call this era of Clippers basketball anything other than a massive disappointment and a terrible ROi. Enter Matt Ishbia, who also came into NBA ownership under eerily similar circumstances, and like Ballmer, immediately tried to buy his way into contention with acquiring Kevin Durant, and then for the hat trick, talented (yet overpaid) Bradley Beal.
It's just their first playoff go 'round! they tanked out at the end of last season

Know one is buying this talk the clippers were minus Kawhi , They still have 3 Hall Of Fame Players on their team. Russell Westbrook. Paul George. &. James Harden They what had to have their 4th Hall Of Fame Player or it wasn’t fair it’s a shame right lol. Mean while Kyrie & Luka Destroyed 3 Hall of Fame players lol
Problem is Harden is too inconsistent even though he can be #1, and PG is too old and ditzy to be #1. Other stars that are younger might be different, but these 3, won't work.

Please explain why Clippers. Gave Kawhi 3 year extension. Year after year of the guy get hurt. And don't play. Plus the clippers are the oldest team in league. Paul George is injured problem. Russell Westbrook is over the hill. Harden like strippers more the clippers. It time to blow it up the team.
Trade Merchant Harden
The clippers love to chest thump but don’t back it up they need to clean house
Gotta move off kawhi guy is literally allergic to the playoffs
I think it's highly ironic that TJ is just a doomed fan. The Clippers are the Cowboys of the NBA. Highly talented rosters, do great things in the regular season. But when the playoffs come....they choke harder than Sasha Grey on BBC. As a fellow Cowboys fan, I just can't help but wonder when TJ is gonna wake up to the reality of his players? I've been knowing who Dak was for a long time now. At some point you GOTTA stop making excuses. There's no such thing as a perfect NFL team, but even if you COULD build the perfect team (great OL, top notch receiving group, strong RB group, elite defense, perfect special teams) I feel like Dak will STILL find a way to screw it up in the playoffs. Just like Playoff P is more like Playoff PeeWee. At some point in the playoffs (and as he gets older it happens in the 1st round) James Harden is gonna become James Soften than Charmin....almost always by Game 5+ of a series he's gonna be the opponents best teammate. Westbrick has ALWAYS been a playoff choker and a stat-padder. Seriously, if he makes the HOF he's gonna be by far the dumbest & least worthy HOF'er of ALL the HOF'ers. And while Kawhi really was THAT DUDE....he got too old & too washed up to be anything in LA. I dunno why that happened. Maybe success came too early for him and he lost that hunger? He stopped putting in the work & just relied on his supreme athleticism & skill? He didn't have that Rodman type of Dawg in him to play 40 minutes and then lift weights & work the stairs in his motorcycle boots for 2 hours AFTER the game? Whatever it was, he got old and now even when he's healthy he's lost a step & lost his explosion to the rim. Kawhi is like the Dez Bryant of the NBA. Dude just dominated suckers all day long off of his physicality & skill. Dez didn't need to know how to run routes cause he was just that much more talented than his opponents. But then Dez broke his ankle or something and he lost that step or two, he lost several inches off of his leaping ability, and he became "just a dude" at WR with no proper techniques to rely on to extend his career. If Dez had mastered his craft like a Jerry Rice, he could've still been productive for like 4+ more years. Just like if Kawhi had mastered his craft to the level of Kyrie, he could still be dominating ballers on the NBA level with different tools in his bag.

Bad comparison, Cowboys have won rings, these Clippers haven’t, a better comparison would be the Chargers, everyone loves them in the off season, praises all their free agent acquisitions and trades and come playoff time they choke hard due to predictable injuries, bad coaching, and their best players disappearing.
