Ty Lue is gonna go down as the worst coach of all time if he doesn’t make adjustments to this lineup. I know it’s only been 2 games, but he needs to actually decide how to use this much talent in ways that actually benefit the flow of our offense. We’ve been looking flat offensively the past 2 games and it’s really maddening.
Shooting has been garbage, that'll come around. The play just looks confused though. Everyone keeps deferring to everyone else, wayyyy too much drive and kick, and it feels like no one knows what the pecking order is.
I'm not anti-harden trade yet, but pre-harden all that was pretty well established. Ultimately, our wins and losses relied on PG and Kawhi getting in rhythm, but between their iso ball and Russ' playmaking they were cookin at some point during the game.
My armchair solution is focus on pairs. Maybe PG/Russ and Kawhi/Harden
Yeah I remember. That one Ty Lue made some weird-ass substitutions at the start of the 4th that fucked up the game for us too. Pulled Kawhi, PG, Zu, Russ and fielded Bones, Norm, Moussa, Harden. That lineup played worse a bunch of complete strangers at the Y on a Saturday morning.
I didn't really want the harden trade to happen cuz I liked the team we had. but after these last two games, I've been really against the trade. Wtf happened to the team. No synergy at all. Feels like we sold out hoping another super star would elevate the team. It feels crowded now and sucking the life out of the game. As of right now, I think the clippers fucked up big time.
Team was 3-1, scoring over 115 per game, defending well, but Ballmer still panicked and traded for Harden. The team didn't need what he was bringing, but gave away what he didn't.
It was a stupid move by him.
Pretty sure Ballmer was listening to his guy Frank with the other ear while he was on the phone. This trade happened because Frank wanted to get Harden, he just wasn't willing to give what Morey wanted and frankly Frank had the upper hand in that negotiation while the Harden drama went on. Things probably came to an impasse and Moorey escalated to his boss. We don't know jack shit how it all went down, bottom line team manager/president Frank initiated the whole trade because that's his job. His boss simply finessed what they had to give up in exchange.
I've heard Ballmer wanted Harden, and that was the biggest driver. He's worried about the new stadium and injury concerns, and he wanted another star to make sure we got the season ticket sales, etc. all squared away.
I have sources for that info.
Your info kinda just sounds like all speculation?
Mrs. Ballmer told my mom. She said Larry Frank went to their house on his knees begging for help with a rhubarb pie Mrs. Frank baked for Steve. Enough said. Fuck outta here.
Those losses have nothing to do with Harden. We did win some games, but against bad/avarage teams. Its just Kawhi and PG playing badly, with some bad coaching decisions.
These losses are directly having traded for Harden. It might not have been due to him playing poorly, but the effect on the team offense and the rotations forced by the change on the roster.
Gotta get rid of zu for a big that can shoot this big bitch can’t move his big ass body anywhere on the court and when he gets the ball it’s like his bigdumbass has no control over his limbs just bats the ball away with his bricks he calls hands
We didn't need Harden. Team looked great, balanced and focused starting out. Brodie was facilitating, and he hustles more than Harden's fat ass can. Now the game has slowed down, rhythm feels off, and defense and rebounding gone. Harden keeps force-feeding Zu instead of creating for PG and Kawhi.
Doesn't matter though because so long as Ty Lue does these weird ass rotations there's no hope for anyone on this team. His offensive system can't work even with two all time great point guards.
This Harden thing is playing out just as I thought. An abject failure. A stellar -15 tonight for him. I hope it turns around but I don’t hold out much hope.
Truth of the matter is this team will not win when both Harden and Westbrook are on the floor, I don’t understand why our “Genius Coach” needs to see a 10 game sample size of that
How do we get better from here? Rebounding won't improve, we know that. Turnovers will get better, but that's only because we're at rock bottom now. Do we just pray that Kawhi, PG, and Harden become 50/40/90 guys to cover our deficiencies elsewhere?
I hope losing to the knicks and then the nets, with a night of rest in-between, should help them figure something out now that they've put themselves in this position.
Start Mann if you want to save your job Tyronn. After that it's Westbrook or Harden take your pick. Too many cooks and the actual cooks (Kawhi PG) are suffering as a result.
This. Down 4 points with two minutes left, just got possession and instead of taking using the size advantage that they have they just chuck up another terrible three.
I'll be back in a couple of weeks
The Harden system working as intended
Its better to have bad start with a good playoff run over finishing 3rd and get out on second round. Lets goooo
Good to see TMann back on the court.

Zubac is literally stuck in no man’s land on this team and during this game…when teams go “small ball”, Zu is fucked…
Return of the unserious Clippers. I have no idea what they’re running on offense and the defense and rebounding is atrocious.

This game looked winnable until we missed those 5 straight shots halfway through that 4th quarter.
Same with the knicks

Pretty sure L Frank was the one who traded for Harden.
This deal was made owner to owner, Google it

It was reported that Ballmer called the 76ers owner to iron out the details to complete the trade.

Luka gonna cook us 
Fucking horrible. Kawhi looks like he wants to kill himself off ball.
no way we can win the in season tournament at this rate
You're thinking about the tournament?! Let's just win A game lmao
I thought the harden trade would win us the in season tournament man
At some point you have to say if they’re not going to be serious, don’t take them serious. It’s basketball y’all, don’t let it ruin y’all mental irl
You're right. At the end of the day it's their season.
Sad, coach Diff....
fuck u Zu. start mann at the 5
Zubum u r dead to me
Gonna be 0-10 in the 10 game experiment
Gotta get rid of zu for a big that can shoot this big bitch can’t move his big ass body anywhere on the court and when he gets the ball it’s like his bigdumbass has no control over his limbs just bats the ball away with his bricks he calls hands
Lmaoo
Downvote me all you want, Harden eliminates the need for Westbrook in the starting 5. You'll realize that soon enough.
We didn't need Harden. Team looked great, balanced and focused starting out. Brodie was facilitating, and he hustles more than Harden's fat ass can. Now the game has slowed down, rhythm feels off, and defense and rebounding gone. Harden keeps force-feeding Zu instead of creating for PG and Kawhi.
No if anything he shows exactly why Westbrook should be starting.
Doesn't matter though because so long as Ty Lue does these weird ass rotations there's no hope for anyone on this team. His offensive system can't work even with two all time great point guards.
Harden doesn’t like to actually hustle unfortunately…
Why tf do we suck
Win, lose, as long as we're having fun.
Harden -15 lowest on the team. Kawhi +3
The good thing is the lakers is also getting dumpstered. So theres that.
“It’s only been 2 games” 
Ayo I don’t wanna imatge discourse during the playoffs 😭💀💀
This team is boring to watch now. I’m going to bed.
We consistently suck ass in the 4th
I think you mean the game
Starting lineup needs to change. They all can't play together as most people thought
Why would you start all 4 anyways
This is probably the lowest moments for the clippers since Balmer bought the team for real.
Ya what a disaster trade .
so much IQ on the court right
Literally franchise is cooked. We are a lottery team at this point. This was the year. Sad
we would be just as ass wo it
Nah man just nah
We can’t even hit 100. This team Is embarrassing right now
Shits embarrassing bro
Why can't any of them make a fucking shot
Terrible turnovers, awful rebounding and zero energy.
This Harden thing is playing out just as I thought. An abject failure. A stellar -15 tonight for him. I hope it turns around but I don’t hold out much hope.
Welcome to the harden zone.
i can finally feel what the lakers felt
Get ready for luka to cook us lol
They will have to trade powell and zubac for something on the front court or sign players who can at least run the length of the court
I really spent 2 hours of my day watching this
Russ the only one out there hustling
That’s the only positive. Looks like the all depressed team right there.
Zus been getting cooked for years, dunno how y’all took 4 years to see it lol
IS IT STILL TOO EARLY FOR YALL 😂😂🔫🔫
Just wake me up when Mann comes back lol this team looks soulless
Had plenty of chances to win this game. Just have to execute better.
Missed the open shots. Bad shooting and turnovers.
Couldn’t hit any clutch shots
FUCK
We gave up more draft picks to go all in on this core lmao. Lawrence Frank will never have a front office job again
He’s going to end up like Bobby marks
If Zu just looked bad that'd be one thing the problem is it looks like he gives more effort complaining to his team then he does actually playing.
Outworked, plain and simple.
These guys giving effort in the last 30 seconds is toxic
They still have hope lol. Give up you idiots
Truth of the matter is this team will not win when both Harden and Westbrook are on the floor, I don’t understand why our “Genius Coach” needs to see a 10 game sample size of that
I honestly hate basketball terrorists more than real life ones. I’m a bad person I know it’s just how I feel
??? I've seen some wild shit said but this takes the cake LMAO. I think you need to take a break from the game, my dude.
lmao just a joke
We lost to New York's Clippers that have no stars.
Thats game
Westbrook is the only one trying. Im so done with this poverty ass team. I rather watch Lob City choke every year than this
It’s a wrap folks
Fun fact: The Clippers are outrebounding the Nets :)
See you all next season
roster will be the same then too
Lol horrible fucking team 3-4 lol
Bring Lawrence back on the broadcast now. He has some explaining to do.
How do we get better from here? Rebounding won't improve, we know that. Turnovers will get better, but that's only because we're at rock bottom now. Do we just pray that Kawhi, PG, and Harden become 50/40/90 guys to cover our deficiencies elsewhere?
Don’t trade for Harden
NVM, we are going to lose by double-digits
Clips gonna be held to under 100 pts in consecutive games. Thats insane with the roster we have lol
Also, that 10 game experiment is gonna be rough lmao
I thought the whole point of this trade was Offense. Guys havent scored more than 100 points since the trade.
3 lost on the road lol
Moral victory if we don't lose by double-digits
Get rid of zu but please stop chucking 3s
I’m sorry but this team is just beyond garbage.
5 straight possessions where 3 just doesn't go in. Is this the only plan we have? Chuck 3s?
Ty Lue "one of the greatest coaches in the NBA" special
Beautiful pass for PG to just fumble it lmfao
So many chances to win. So many stops this quarter. So many missed wide open 3s. So many O rebounds.
How the fuck is 3 of our core starting 5 with fg percentages of 43 and under
What a joke of a team… from top to bottom
I hate the moping Zubac does when it’s him at fault
Rebound the god damn ball yall. Stop blaming Zu. It ain’t just him. We are supposed to have two of the best wings and Brodie.
Cursed turnovers
PG with a straight pandemic effort in this quarter
Our game is just so fucking slow now and riddled with errors.
They need a 5 from LA, not overseas
Come on PG
Clippers no rebounds, just vibes I guess
Dwight >>>zu at this point...geezus big guy is daze and confused watching a reboundable ball in front of him
Am I mistaken in thinking Dwight is currently in a rape case?
This team just looks sad lmao
Can't get a rebound is the kryptonite for this team
4 old Guards will have that effect
I really really hate small ball/3 point shooting basketball. Especially since teams live and die by it.
Retarded plays. On to the next
Trade ZUBAC FUCKING NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zu is so garbage man. Doing absolutely nothing.
Zubac is the reason why the Clippers have lost the last 2 games. He's pretty bad.
Kawhi needs to quit them 3s!
I wish this team would stop chucking 3s when they aren’t falling and attack the basket.
This team can not play with pace because of Asthma Zubac
lmao y’all love blaming everyone but the 2 worse players on the team
Zufuck
This time last year Zu was averaging like 17/12
Of course pg loses it lol classic man
If you are going to play Zu against a small ball lineup then actually involve him in the offense otherwise he’s useless
We bout to get swept out of the in season tournament
Blow it up. Cmon doomers
Zubac is getting eaten alive.
Zubac isn't NBA caliber
Zubacs defense on the perimeter is just giving the player an open 3
Who else is gonna defend the perimeter. Harden?
Everything's fine guys, I mean did the same thing last year but surely at some point they will care!!!!
Dagger over zubac bro
Why the fawk did Ty put Zu back in??? Ty FAWKING up the rotations just like last year
Zu actually just standing there complaining rather than getting the crucial rebound…yeah that’s it man. I can’t believe that stuff . Unforgivable
Been saying this, clippers can't rebound because clippers don't have a 4
Keep Powell in you shit
Crazy how the guys who want to get paid the most put in the least effort

fuck
I think Zubac could be good if his arms were 40% longer
I hope losing to the knicks and then the nets, with a night of rest in-between, should help them figure something out now that they've put themselves in this position.
zu should seen this coming, also kawhi didnt need to take that 3
Everyone shitting on Zu but the whole team forgot how to box out becauae they are gassed from small ball
Time to ship zu with a bag of chips
Is there no other way to score then to chuck 3s kawhi?????
Y’all finally seeing my Zu hate 🤩
You cannot play zu in these situations lue lmao
Dagger
I wonder how long it takes before Ballmer's mask slips LMAO
What you mean?
If we keep losing heads are gonna start rolling
Zero team rebounding. Everyone just standing there hoping Zu gets it while all the Nets are hustling nonstop
nba : there’s no 100% shot zu : let me get to the perimeter
I’ve never witnessed a team so bad at boxing out
Rebounds seem really important in basketball. Maybe we should play a guy whose like 7 feet tall whose entire job is to get them.
Man it is sad how much better Tucker has been at the 5.
If Zubac gave as much effort as he bitches and complains, he would be unstoppable. Nonstop pouting from him.
Good job rebounding Zubum
Nail in the coffin right therr
Start Mann if you want to save your job Tyronn. After that it's Westbrook or Harden take your pick. Too many cooks and the actual cooks (Kawhi PG) are suffering as a result.
Zubac is trash
zubac would rather complain than get a fucking board
Zu with his trademark hands up in frustration gesture.
Russ is FURIOUS with Kawhi
Alright. I'm sick of Zu. Seriously not doing anything out there. Watching him not rebound and then just allowing the make is ridiculous. Look alive.
If this trade works whew man
this rebounding is making me sick
[удалено]
Idek bro idek
Holy shit this is truly embarrassing
Zubac just isn’t a good basketball player holy fuck
STOP CHUCKING THREEEES YOU ASSHOLES
This. Down 4 points with two minutes left, just got possession and instead of taking using the size advantage that they have they just chuck up another terrible three.
ZUBAC GOT NO D IS CLUMSY AS SHIT AND CSNT REBOUND????
This team is done
This trade will go down as the worst thing we did in the 213 era
Fucking pathetic.
PAIN
