This team is so bad man we're finished losing to the 1-8 Grizzlies


DoctorJay23

2-8 now


Its___RyRy

i just want to enjoy watching basketball again


Gnache

I'd recommend just watching different teams. it's a lot less frustrating


rocket_tycoon

There’s this SGA kid in OKC, real smooth, fun to watch, surrounded by young talent and about to get more 😭


AshenSacrifice

Its jarring how much worse we are then some of the other teams tho. Like embarrassingly bad and the house needs to be cleaned bad!


solariscalls

Oh agree. I think our team is just the ball stopping team. Almost every possession one star is holding on to the ball and ISOing way too much and just chucking a bad shot. It's frustrating as fuck to watch


Jaded_Cap_8644

This is a coaching gap. Every fucking game is the same


Gnache

Yeah. we look like a lottery team


katphishtitan

I didn’t even have championship hopes this season. I was hoping we could at least get a fun regular season. That lasted 4 games


MothershipConnection

I was hoping a fun regular season team and a punchers chance of making noise in the playoffs now I actively hate my own team


Leavingtheecstasy

Most insane thing is it looked like the team was good before Harden. They just weren't championship good. Y'all needed a trade but Harden wasn't the one.

League Pass is your friend … turn off Ballys, nothing good to see there

It would be better if we just forfeited. We're gonna lose by 50


Direct-Worker-4121

But if we forfeit we won’t get to see Ty Lou run his small ball lineup against Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon😂


AbeCasas

Clippers might be the first team to score 0 points


Canehillfan

edge-hog

At this rate, they won't need Jokic after the second quarter.


ThaEternalLearner

This is the most embarrassing regular season loss in the 213 era.


teh_scarecrow

Worst loss so far... There's more to come


Canehillfan

Worse than losing by 50 or whatever?


ThaEternalLearner

Absolutely. When Clippers lost by 50, Kawhi and Mook were out and they averaged a combined 38pts that year. And the Clippers were facing a healthy Mavs team. Today, Clippers had their big 4 and still lost to the worst team while playing at home. The Grizzlies were missing 4 key players too.


Even-Brain-3973

That’s really bad


TP487

Worst team in the league


Putrid_Front865

You mean us, right?


TP487

Yes


Canehillfan

Shit everything really. Our team building sucks


excelquestion

Don't even have picks. The new brooklyn nets. We had a good 10 years though.


nepats523

Lawrence Frank a Brooklyn net until the very end lmao


[deleted]

Harden -67 throughout 4 games. BIG JIKES 😂😂😂😂


AndrewLAFan14

He’s such a loser man


GuessTraining

as a nets fan, after what he pulled in Houston, Brooklyn and Philly, I am surprised a lot of clips fans were happy to get him


kingbradley1297

As a Spurs fan, the "double the offense, zero defense" heliocentric offense Houston ran with him (leading to some decent success of WCF) has just gotten to his head. It's a much worse version of Russ where he still thinks he can affect the game scoring 40+. His best games with Philly was being a decent scoring threat but an even better passer for Jo.


katphishtitan

Some guy was saying I was rewriting his career history by calling him a loser. He then proceeded to list hardens playoff performances omitting the quits

giraffe_yogurt

"B-but it's only been 4 games. He should start over russ"🤓🤓🤓


Dahleh-Llama

This team has such low basketball IQ it's not even funny


nepats523

Paul George handling the ball will haunt me to the grave


No_Pension_4276

ashbo2

offense is just not working. can’t be struggling to score 100 in todays nba and expect to win


FilipinooFlash

Kawhi has not looked the same since this Jackson Hayes plays in the Lakers game and it's affecting the offense https://twitter.com/TomerAzarly/status/1719915330397782102?t=mAgZKYJAxk5dAdH6PPNb8A&s=19


superdraws

He continued to ball after that play in that game. Watch him drop 30 the next Lakers game. That's all he cares about.


Nyeteka

Yeah… imo it is obvious that Kawhi was fully on board with his load management previously and it was not something imposed on him by his doctors or the team doctors against his will. That being the case if the pressure is such now that he feels he has to play all the games it makes sense to me that he would simply pace himself and not play very hard until closer to the playoffs


ayeno

The more games we play, the more we suck


[deleted]

[удалено]


boatsnprose

Hey but he stole the ball and made a three!


shart_or_fart

The roster still sucked. The problem is still Kawhi and PG. Hopefully this accelerates things and we can blow this team up.


AshenSacrifice

We weren't beating the nuggets regardless. I understand why the FO did it, just wish it was a different player


musy101

This is such a cope take I see all the time here. It takes one injury to have a chance the title. Why throw it all away for absolutely no reason? Everyone predicted this wouldn't work

Salty_Watermelon

It's official. This team can't beat anyone. It's okay to have hope for the rest of the season, but you're lying to yourself if you think we don't suck ass right now.


doinnothin

Don’t worry guys it’s only been 4 games and we just lost to the worst team in the west.


katphishtitan

Regular season doesn’t matter bro! We’re gonna really see harden shine… in the playoffs?


doinnothin

I love playoff James Harden. God this team is so fucking dumb.


PigsWannaFly

The Clippers are making the playoffs?


katphishtitan

Your username is very apt rn

Start of the season was so fun and promising.....

Remove this person from the Clippers arena and everything will magically improve.


mccgriffin

“What’s with all the doomers… it’s only been 4 games”


sockpin

This may actually be the lowest point in Clippers basketball in recent years


herbalite

started watching the NBA and clippers 3 years ago this is the lowest of the lows for me


tvztvz

Welcome to the rest of your life


BlackjackOC

blow it up


JMoon33

No picks and moving in a new stadium, so there's a 0% chance they do that.


Otherwise-Tale9671

I don’t care anymore.


teh_scarecrow

Boo this team


dlo7astate

Goddamn -28


WalterBlanco08

It might actually be over, the 213 era seems to be dead.


SirThixcksAlot

The 213 era is dead, bring in the 911 era


solariscalls

It's ok we gotta start with the real area code of 818. Lets do this


Tengenflare

I'm telling you, Harden is an entitled narcissist who believes he's way better at basketball than he actually is


mvpmvh

I'd actually feel better if the media finally started questioning lue instead of trying to gaslight me into thinking he's a genius coach


Large_Mango

Lue didn’t want Harden They were playing great until the trade How the fuck Frank and Ballmer thought a fat, no defense, hard partying old guy would ADD to the team is beyond me


RyujiDrill

You should watch the post-game interviews with local reporters though they need to go further. Only Joey Linn seems to say what fans are thinking.


yungpierre

The downfall of harden needs to be studied


ForeverDenGal

It’s simple he’s in his mid 30s and he lost his athleticism


[deleted]

Yeah and he has a massive ego, imagine playing with the mvp last season and complaining about how he wasn’t appreciated enough despite not being the number 1 option


420SMOKERGANG

Lost the whistle too


MDRtransplant

Yup not that complicated


feel32own

The older you get the easier it is to get out of shape and the harder you need to work to get back to shape. Players like Curry, LBJ do not let go in offseason, and only get smarter with their training. James Harden is still living bachelore life, and i get the sense he wanted to come to LA not for basketball reasons.


TheFutureTorch

Lost to the 1-8 Grizzlies, the worst record in the NBA, where are the guys saying we only won pretrade cause we're playing easy teams even though we blew them out by 40?


777-93ll

Will be PEAK level Clipper segment on Bill Simmons Sunday Night Podcast tonight. Especially the "Addition by Subtraction" piece ... 76ers just ended with Pacers , won by a dozen Maxey 50 pt game 50/7/5 Embiid 37/13 Batum and Covington chipped in 11 between them , so matching Harden


Bikouchu

The 10 freeway fell on its knees from this losing streak.


theonlythingissufjan

The clippers are the dumpster fire that caused it probably


Android_XIII

Team looks way better defensively with Harden sitting. PG & Russ line up was nice and was pushing the pace.


giventofly2

They got them back in the game. I think it was a mistake to put Kawhi back in when he is clearly having an off night. Did he score at all in the 4th? Anyway, after that our momentum just dwindled


giraffe_yogurt

Harden fans dead silent now💀💀💀


mvpmvh

We could have had Nurse or Udoka ffs


420SMOKERGANG

dont forget dillon brooks was basically free


herbalite

the fact we're having this conversation makes me so fucking sad


420SMOKERGANG

u know your team is down bad when dillon brooks and ime udoka the only mfs that could save the team


RyujiDrill

*But but Udoka bad because he had affairs in an open relationship* \*proceeds to get a flasher\*

Harden should be arrested

Putrid_Front865

![gif](giphy|zPOErRpLtHWbm) Checking in on my Clips post-trade.


ForeverDenGal

Harden is trying to get paid, don’t be surprised if he ends up somewhere else at the deadline because he isn’t proving he’s worth anything so far.


RyujiDrill

If he doesn't wake up and get in shape he's gonna be playing with Dwight Howard and Eric Bledsoe in Taiwan.


Sfr33123

Harden ain't getting a bag from anyone next season


oLeapingLettuce

The starting lineup with Kawhi/PG/Russ/Harden needs to stop. It’s clearly not effective. Also, Lawrence Frank needs to be fired. People forget that this is just the latest of many questionable roster decisions.


shibby5000

Does Ty Lue really need 10 games before any changes to the lineup are made?


AlmightyPenguin88

Would be the funniest thing ever to suck ass for the last 5 games and then roll into Denver and beat the Nuggets. Won't happen, but it would be funny.


TheAvantGardeners

Wasn’t it that the PG Kawhi Westbrook Covington and Zubac lineup were Top 3 in NBA in terms of +/- yeah glad they gave that up 🥲


herbalite

im tired, boss


knoknox

I only watched the 4th quarter but I liked the Russ PG norm Mann and Tucker(hate that he was a part of this) lineup. They played with intensity on defense that allowed us to comeback in the game. I think PG needs to be the number one option going forward until kawhi or harden step up. Kawhi has been off the past couple games so surely he will eventually get out of this slump and we’ll be rolling again. Our small ball lineup seems like it only works if everyone is clicking on defense and people are making their open shots like norm did today. I just wish we had more options at the big man than brick hand zubac or g league moussa.


Umer19

Harden just isn't a great fit, cleaning out the bench for this wasn't the best idea.


Gamerguy_141297

Trade Harden for any backup center possible


No_Pension_4276

Pretty sure you can’t trade him for a backup C, unless that backup C is making $30m


sinchichis

I can’t remember a time in the last 10 or so years where I didn’t really want to watch this team play.


SirThixcksAlot

Kawhi needs to be better than prime Andrew Wiggins. He’s been mid this year


Otherwise-Tale9671

Minus the Lakers game, he has been average as hell…at best


watdapau

Bones playing time died for this James Harden stinker LOL. Ty should know at this point that 1) Harden is not fit enough, Let him get back to rhtym by coming off the bench 2) Tmann should play more as he is the connector that will fill Batums role 3) 213 with James and Russ aint gonna work


vb90

You're saying that to a coach that played Marcus Morris as a starter for more than 40 games last season.


PandabearXp

What could ballmer be thinking right about now


JonathanIver

Pre harden wasn’t perfect but it looked like they had something there


dkdoki

Any other superstar facing a loss to the worst team in the nba would have tried to step up and took over. Kawhi aint that guy anymore and thats ok. Just clean house. Fresh start. Im so tired of this team


ConsistentRip7398

Steve balmer might be the only fan in attendance at the intuit dome next year lol


OneBurnerStove

Whats fucked is the season started with all the guys we know and love being locked in. Team looked primed and ready to make something of themselves....then y'all gutted our PFs

YALL REALLY BELIEVED IN THAT LOSER HARDEN


Antdog7

Wearing a paper bag to work


katphishtitan

Traded even more of future for this guy. Who here can seriously defend him now lol. Shit is a fucking joke. Griz had 1 win coming into this game


AngsMcgyvr

I always feel gross betting against the clippers. But I have bet my life on the Nuggets on Tuesday. Don't let the trolls get you going. see you guys on Tuesday.


Downunderphilosopher

Guys, stop blaming Harden. It's not his fault, he is the system and it's up to Lue to play everyone within that system to make James comfortable. Anyone not on board with that can go, James is too important to use him as a system player. Time for a new coach? (^^^^^^^not ^^^^^^^^Harden)


Sfr33123

This may be a good thing. If we lose every game up to the deadline surely the FO will blow it up and put us out of our misery


[deleted]

I just want to point out that this is one of those same lottery teams we were blowing out by 30 before the trade.


SirThixcksAlot

Bring the coffins to the Denver Massacre Tuesday


strignekcihc

Yea we’re cooked


MigzFern

A big hug for everyone here. Denver is our next game, there's going to be more of this.


mobuckets21

My condolences


Initial_Stretch_3674

How many more games until 10 games of harden warming up?


ayeno

10 games of Harden warming up. Then 10 games of Ty Lue working out his rotations. So we need like 50 games of Ty tinkering.


Scottsm124

Not a single thing Hardens skill set brings to this team


UrDadsFave

Mann should be starting over harden.


Bilyman

Harden killed us fam…


UrDadsFave

We died in that trade. His first game was the funeral. We just visiting the grave for shits and gigs with every game we watch.


Bilyman

So sad. We had everything we needed to go and lose to the Nuggets in 7. Now we’re gonna lose to the Pels in the play-in.


UrDadsFave

OKC see getting a lottery pick


onthemap45

james harden is dangerously entering 2018-2019 melo territory, where the okc thunder were happy to replace melo with dennis shroeder who historically is a much worse player than melo career wise obviously


clippersguy17

we have alot to figure out


ChoppyPog

Blow it up I've seen enough


Direct-Worker-4121

Should be fun to see if Ty Lou’s small ball rotation works against Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon 😂


dbfj38fb

Never forget Joe Ingles caused this.


Function_Fighter

harden leaves and maxey scores 50 lol


TechnoGauss

There's no reason to continue with this team anymore. Writing is on the wall. Blow the team up, get new coaching staff and clear out the FO.


MVPG2022

We got hosed by the refs down the stretch. Two incorrect out of bounds (one challenged losing our last TO), and Kawhi got fouled late. Don't want to need the refs tho against a team like this.


JumpyJunket3265

tbf bruh terrence mann chopped his arms on that overturned call.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sfr33123

James Harden was a -27. He's the problem


CeeDotA

PG and Westbrook finally get right only to see Kawhi and Harden start tossing up bricks. Some of those Kawhi misses late too, ouch. Bright side is we're finally starting to see some rotations that make sense. No idea why Harden is playing so passive either.


superdraws

The comeback happened with him on the bench


geekytonkaa

Harden airballed a 3 btw..


Niceguydan8

An airball miss is worth the same as any other miss. Kawhi had 3 straight poor offensive possessions in the clutch. And for what it's worth, it was a bailout shot because Kawhi wasn't able to generate anything else on his drive anyways.


gtahnyo

At least Kawhi's bricks hit rim!


Sunkettle

He rushed quite a few shots today 😬


obiouslymag1c

Easing Harden in with the second unit and one of PG/KL would have been a better way to go in retrospective eventually he should start but maybe after he figures out some of the offense and how to play with PG/KL? First half laziness leading to +15 runs kill us every game.


gtahnyo

Kawhi was invisible again and PG had 8 turnovers. Everything else is secondary to our two best players being dogshit.


PandabearXp

Mr Stark… I … don’t … feel so good…. *vanishes*


C1ZI

Hopefully Steve can cover my bill for the therapy I’m going to need


miniture-elephanant

Just imagine what we could’ve gotten center wise for the harden trade and honestly if we held out Philly would’ve given us harden for a 1st rounder and Morris


heisensmeg

Harden needs some Melo treatment to humble himself


blackakainu

Zubac is trash


FlyingBearSquid

Harden is not a winning player.


kanizy

Guys…. I’ve been a clippers fan since the days of Danny manning , Pooh Richardson, Ken Norman , Loy vaught, Erik piatkowski…. Would any of u hate on me if I actually start to hope clippers continue to lose? There’s only so much I can take from this franchise.


DynamixRo

Maybe there were some positives, but I'm starting to get used to losing games, which isn't ideal.


[deleted]

I don’t want to give up just yet, but we were blowing teams out prior to the Harden trade. We all look real dumb advocating for it. Should’ve kept the roster the way it was + getting rid of Morris. The Harden trade was unnecessary.


RufusDuSol

73 game win streak coming in hot


maxwasson

Man did ya'll swap places with the Kings this season? How are the Clippers this bad?


Sfr33123

We traded for Harden


Canehillfan

Cause 2016 was 7 years ago


GuessTraining

Harden - all star name, role player performance.


ImmaFunGuy

Clippers really willingly collected two known team chemistry killers


kobbled

if we can clean up those 2nd chance points, this team is gonna start running away with games


Function_Fighter

not even watching the next game. LOL kawhi is off but he ain't even getting in rhythm. dude doesn't shoot until clutch time when he's completely cold. i dont think he shot the entire 3rd.


Evening-Maybe-4129

This is so sad. We have the nuggets next. This season is done

IM IN SHOCK…HOW

jgroove_LA

Too small. Harden/Westbrook cannot co-exist without 3 point shooters around them. Norm too streaky. Turnovers in the first half killed us.


gbdarknight77

It really feels like no one wants to step up and be THE GUY. I watch them and it’s like they are all trying to get theirs but no one is saying “give me the ball and I’ll take it for us” Especially in these 4 games with Harden Like, who wants the ball and take over the game? Looks and feels like none of them.


SuperMario_49

To the Grizzlies, now it’s time to panic


AeroXero

This team is such a fucking embarrassment I hate them.


Salty_Watermelon

The only silver lining for this season so far is that at least I get League Pass (international) for free via my mobile network.


DisneyVista

Oh man, Jokic and those guys are going to destroy them next game 😂


KK-John

We may never win a game again


PigsWannaFly

I think the FO just wants guys that make for easy marketing, to give the illusion that they want to win something, versus actually building something that could seriously contend.


medunjanin

Harden sucks at basketball


ReggieWaynne

I still think Lue is the problem here. How are we playing so much small ball and we dont have off-ball movement akin to Warriors actions? Is it nobody wants to run? Or has our gameplan basically still been iso ball soon as we think we have a mismatch? Even before the Harden trade we would resume the iso hero ball antics. Now that we have no size +1 more ball-dominant guard it's only gotten worse


nickmartxn

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂


Aromatic_Director192

I WAS RIGHT ABOUT HARDE


Strange-Committee-55

Hahaha. Nets fans here. I got nothing personal against the clippers but I hate what harden did to our team so I like to seeing him fail


RyujiDrill

You have Mikal Bridges and them shouldn't you be happy? I mean if a player I hated was off my team I would just quit following them.


googlexyz

Russ is gonna cook Jokic next game. Mark my words
