We Warned You About The Clippers
Спорт
On Friday night the Dallas Mavericks eliminated the Los Angeles Clippers 4-2 in their first round series. Once again a very disappointing end to the season for the Clippers. After struggling initially with James Harden the Clippers became one of the hottest teams in the NBA from mid November to early February. Unfortunately the Clippers once again dealt with injuries and for the second year in a row they were a first round exit.

The Spurs are that first husband who warns people that she's (Kawhi's) a great person when she wants to be, but she's unstable behind the scenes. Also he lost his trusty truck (Danny Green) in the divorce. The Raptors are that rebound who only dates her for a summer (2019 season) and doesn't get to be with her long enough to find out who she truly is. He was initially heartbroken that she left him so soon, but now he understands he was lucky. Though he yearns for her whenever she posts a hot pic (when Kawhi has an awesome game). The Clippers are the second husband who doesn't believe first husband's warnings, he is in debt up to his eyeballs (way over the cap) cause he told her she could quit or work part time (load management), he bought her a Mercedes (PG13) that constantly needs repairs, bought her a new house (Crypto arena), and even bought her things he knew he shouldn't be buying... like NFTs (Westbrook) and front row tickets to P. Diddy concerts (Harden) just to keep her happy. Sidenote: Lauren, you're the worst. I hope you know that.

I feel like both LA teams really need to blow up their cores at this point.

The one thing you don't want to do is try to ride on this hamster wheel of insanity and then get forced into a rebuild.

I don’t think it matters how cursed the clippers are. They’re cursed regardless of the severity.
The good thing about Harden joining a new team is that you can always predict that they won't go far and it always happens. He's making me look like Nostradamus ngl (not that it was a hard prediction though).
I feel like I have been subscribed to you guys forever now, your journey has been fun to watch. Seeing the confidence of you both grow has really improved the quality of your commentary, and I have always loved the unique vibe and style you both bring. Keep up the good work, you’re my favourite channel and part of the reason I started following the NBA!
clippers and brooklyn nets are now the spiderman meme for the forseeable future. they got nothing but injured players and heavy contracts and no picks or assets XD
No team in the nba is winning a series with their best player injured.
As a Clippers fan this was my last straw for Kawhi. Can't defend him no more. Plus he made us lose game 2. It was a close all game with Kawhi playing badly at 70%, if he wouldn't have rushed and throw away the chemisty the Clippers had, he could've came later and possibly win the series or see a Game 7. Despite this Harden isn't to blame, PG not really either, and Russ although played bad, he wasn't relied on to take the load. All the blame should be for Kawhi.

Kawhi should have just stayed with the Raptors, they were the only team where he didn’t have any bad luck in his Post-Spurs.
We keep doing this same song and dance, where the stacked, star studded team, with 3 or 4 All Stars/Superstars with no depth, are seen as the team that will win, and then they collapse and lose to better, deeper teams who are well coached and built better. How many teams have we seen in the last decade that gutted their depth to build "superteams", and everntually collapse or get their asses beat badly due to lack of depth, injury, or just bad roster construction and fit? The Clipper weren't a real contender, they were just the flashiest new pretenders. Same for the Suns and Bucks this year.

Ballmer is gonna want to run it back, the org spends an ungodly amount of money to keep Ty Lue, Harden, and PG, to make a team that is, at best, gonna get bounced in round 1 in an incredibly competitive WC, and then it’s gonna implode at midseason leading to a rebuilding fire sale. Keep the clips fans in your thoughts because this is gonna be a new level of basketball hell!

As a clippers fan, i think we need to re-tool for one more run with Kawhi and if that doesn’t work, blow the rest of it up. We’ve been saying “if Kawhi was healthy” for 4 years and it’s starting to get really frustrating. I think a PG sign and trade for a pick or two and a good 4/stretch 5 to pair with Zu is a good start, but I’m not sure where to go from there. I think Harden is a really good fit because he unlocks the rest of the offense beyond his/kawhi’s iso’s (especially from our bigs) but he needs to have Kawhi and exclusively Kawhi next to him because PG is completely unreliable in the playoffs

Pj pose was standing on business
Kawhi has been out injured for the last 3 postseasons. There is no way in the hell that I would give him a max contract if I’m the Clippers.
Talent overflow is a real thing in the NBA. Just as in real life if you fill a cup of water to it's brim while leaving the pipe on, the intertia cup will cause it to fall over 🫗 Just like the 2000 Rockets, 2003 Lakers, 2013 Nets, 2019 Warriors before them 🪦
The clippers has a tendency to solve their issue years late. During the lob city error they clearly needed wing depth, and they never solved it. So is the Kawhi period, they needed a PG since the beginning. They won games because both him and PG were just iso ball then their bench comes in and score more points. Then they got harden 4 years late lol
The knicks and pacers are gonna be the best series in the entire playoffs
As a very long time Clippers fan, I hate that I'm right every year. I want them to prove me wrong but every year, almost consistently for the past 12 years, they have been good enough to make the playoffs and in some situations they've been favorites or even should have been favorites but they haven't even made the finals. Kawhi has to go, and he can take Harden with him. Neither one of them can be trusted to show up in the playoffs.

Well it have been worse for the Clips so that's something Well lets see what the offseason will be for the Clips
Harden always plays good the first 4 games then Games 5-7 he wets himself.
The real question is, what does Paul George do after this? I don't think it'll make much sense for him to go to another team that isn't contending but other teams that are contending are more than likely over the salary cap and won't be able to afford him. I think it's pretty likely that James Harden will re-sign with the Clippers since he doesn't really have a choice and Russell Westbrook purposely singed a smaller contract, so the Clippers are more or less "whole" going forward.
Paul george has been my favorite player since i started watching ball. In most instances he usually shows up which hurts cause i just want 1 ring dawg 1. Pain
I can't take it anymore

Where are the celtics videos!
Kawhi is kind of like Embiid if he makes it to the playoffs he might as well just play until he can’t anymore bc they’re always gonna hurt so I feel like they might as well just play tho but really Kawhi could’ve played this playoffs the team just decided to sit him out which idk I agreed and didn’t agree with bc he should’ve sat out game 2 came back 3,4 if he wasn’t right sit back down then when it went to 6 and game 7 see if he wants to come back and play to prevent elimination.
There’s an interesting phenomenon in the 3 main American sports. I call it the cursed 3. The Clippers, The Padres, and The Chargers are cursed to always suck. No matter how much money it’s spent or how much time they take to build a team. They’ll always collapse somehow.
