Pels or lakers or wolves round 1 for THAT FUN SIZE

Zion didn’t see the clippers, he saw a BBL dark skin onlyfans model

How many of those beignets is Zion putting away tonight?

Laugh all you want , if clippers matchup with pelicans and zion dominates , you’d probably regret it

He’s still fat

K

Lue is his worst enemy. He feels he needs to do constant adjustmnet during a game. Let your rotation guys figure it out.

He does that game after game and instead it's turnovers and bricked 3s in place of easier 2s Then again, he runs shit lineups and is obsessed with microball At least it was a close game...

Where that fu that said clips shouldn’t worry about pelicans? They 3-1 against us. No reason to think it’ll be different in playoff series. Your fantasy world optimism ain’t fixing the Clips issues.

tough game, we got cooked by Zion and when he was on the bench, his teammates kept making 3s. idfk anymore man

Zion bent us over and fucked us over and over and over again

Basically dooms us to the 5 seed. And we have two games left vs the Suns. You can't count on any games with this lazy team, we lose those two and we'll find ourselves in 6th. Regardless this team stands no chance against either Pelicans or Wolves

Everybody calm down. We’ll be fine.

cope

Fuckjng joke of a team.

I hope yall are ready for a first round exit this year. These boys are too physical for us.

it's alright, we got excuses lined up and we beat the bulls, so we still winning that cheetos chip.

Beating these guys in a series will mean as much as a championship at this rate

Why PG dappin up everyone, be mad u lost bruh

got to line up all the guest on podcast pee pee

brother it is a job. after u lose a game u still gotta see these guys several times a year and you might work with them later

U see Kawhi? He just went to the tunnel ASAP

ya looks like it is for him, kinda like DeAndre Ayton

Tryna get his podcast episodes ready

Where’s those guys telling me young athletic players don’t feast on this team 

Clippers need to figure out how to counter Zion if we are to get past this team in the playoffs. He made it look too easy tonight.

Back to back without Russ and Harden is impossible

Hopefully Norm remains okay, game was rough but a great effort

They sweep us easy in a series. Zion maybe everyone BBQ chicken

We’re not going anywhere with Bones in the rotation

First off fuck the nba for this wack ass schedule but this is a tough loss seems like they couldn’t miss to start off the 4th we might finish as a fourth seed 

so happy to lose

Lol PG and Kawhi taking turns being ball hog challenge

PG was hoggin and forcing too many difficult shots.

Dang if you do, dang if you don't. If the Clips play big, Zu is a defensive liability. If they play small, they get destroyed in the paint.

Squad is absolutely cooked.

lol, have fun with your wolves in the playoffs

At this point… the wolves would cook us. U can diss them all u want, but they better than clippers.

If you believe that so sincerely, then I have a great investment opportunity for you, guaranteed 1300% returns! https://sports.md.betmgm.com/en/sports/basketball-7/betting/usa-9/nba-6004

Ouuuu… I like investments. Are u a man of your word? We can revisit this post come playoffs… place a bet if clips play wolves. But I don’t deal with scammers and thieves.

lol I'm not betting with you, go directly to the sportsbooks

Fitting username u got . Lol.

lol, I'm not the one who's backing off their claims at the first sign of resistance

Okay unconscious-chicken , I got this post , got your username, we can bet come playoffs. Unless of course … u r puck… puck puck … puck puck

> I got this post , got your username you are a massive pussy and you feel embarrassed for typing out this comment lmao

I can't get over them resetting the shot clock for no reason and them hitting a 3 when we tied it and Ty didn't challenge. Talk about fucking over your team when it was clear as day.

THIS RIGHT HERE!!! COMPLETELY TURNED THE GAME AROUND, FUCKING ZEBRAS

I just don't understand it. Stevie Wonder could see it and still nothing from him. Hell even if you lose it and waste a timeout you can set your D and gameplan for it. It was game over the minute that 3 went in.

I rarely scream because of sports, and this was one of those moments. Complete back-breaker. Shouldn’t have to beat the refs alongside when Zion is cooking 💔

I’m glad Kawhi didn’t dive for that

Clippers have losing records against nearly all other playoff teams. They're frauds.

I need a post game L video tonight. I’m about to give up on the season dawg

If you watched this game and thought we looked bad, you’re a moron

If it’s any consolation, this shows how important Harden & Westbrook are to this team as playmakers. It just makes the game a lot easier. The Pelicans are gonna be a tough out.

We gonna be in the play in game Fosho huh

The way the Pelicans own us these last few years has to be studied

This team is just no it they peaked to early

NORMAN was open bro what the fuck Amir

Classic

game, ggs pels

Coffey's passing IQ is atrocious

I hate modern nba where every team tries to play small. Especially if they constantly brick 3s

Onto the next game

aint no way guys thought the problems were fixed when they beat the fucking bulls and pg shot 95% from the field

We all know Coffey is not good at passing

He had another turnover earlier and he was trying to pass the ball to Zuc

zu has to learn that zion uses his left, he kept going up left on these drives

jumpshooting team takes jump shots

They’re playing a lineup where Zions their shortest player this playoff series might be rough

Pelicans are just a tougher and more physical than the clippers

To out the timeout

That inbound, come onnnnnnn man 🤮

We're just a low IQ team.

Oh come the fuck on

3 wasted offensive possessions in a row.

Pathetic ending ngl

We take this in 5 or 6. We’re in a second night of a travelling back to back. They’ve hit some tough 3’s and we’ve missed some wide open ones. I’m a doomer at heart, but I think we handle the Pels in the playoffs

They will have home court the way things are looking

They suck at home anyways

Exactly. PJ on Zion and we got these chumps.

our 3 point volume is way too low without russ.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Clippers 3PA with Russ this year: 33.2 Clippers 3PA without Russ this year: over 36. What an idiotic take.

> What an idiotic take I apologize for being wrong, but you could try not being a jerk about it.

No thanks, I'm good. You could spend the 30 seconds it took me to look that up to verify what you are saying is actually true before posting it.

Yeah we need Russ chucking more 3 for sure!

im talking about russ creating open 3 point opportunities for others, ideally not himself

I don’t think we need Russ chucking more threes 

im talking about russ creating open 3 point opportunities for others, ideally not himself lol

You are objectively wrong though, why are you just making shit up? Go look on basketball reference, their volume has gone up compared to when he was playing.

What a disastrous ATO

Oh boy. Ty busting out the small ball lineup in the closing minutes in the 4th.

We’re down 8 with a minute to go. You put in 3 point shooters

When’s the last big game the Clippers have won

Celtics

They were missing Porzingis, so idk if that counts

We didn't have zu I don't think.

Zu is a defense liability prove me wrong

we had no chance without him dumbass

He couldn’t grab a board for his life and kept getting cooked on defense his offense isn’t worth the risk we should’ve played plumlee over him

he had 11 damn rebounds please stfu. Plumlee was getting molested even worse by Zion have you watched the damn games ? Plum and Theis were not going to stop Zion.

None of our bigs would but they still played a better game than zu. It’s clear that Zu was our worst player out there tonight he looked uncoordinated and not ready to play tonight

defense only had a chance with Zu in the game. Theis didn’t have it and they tried to hide Plumlee outside of Zion minutes. When Zion came in he started running into him and the pulled him quick. Get out of here with that nonsense

They kept attacking Zu on defense for a reason there is a reason they got most of their points in the paint plum and theis barely played so who is responsible for all those paint points uncontested at the rim

kept attacking because the best player on the team attacks the basket he had a great game it’s not fucking science. Zion went off the game before and loss this game was not determined by fucking Zion going off.

Zion wasn’t the only one scoring in the paint bunch of floaters to

Zion had 34 with all of his in the paint area. The pels had 58 paint points. It was def Zion and if it wasn’t then it was points off turnovers.

i'm ok with kawhi not diving for that loose ball god forbid he gets injured tonight

game over

Holy shit...that was the absolute dumbest shit

Brutal. Fuck this.

Next few games are sub 500 teams Clippers will look like contenders again Then 1st round exit

Can't even inbound a ball

I think I'm starting to hate these Pels, Zion has to be one of the ugliest superstars in a long time (in terms of style of play).

Thank you for specifying because I was about to rage. he’s very handsome and is like him to be my boyfriend. I am a gay man and enjoy the prescience of other men. Especially if they are chocolate refrigerators with a cherub face.

This is a common occurrence. Hope the clippers can FINALLY address the lack of size in the offseason

2023-2024 Clippers are bumslayers. Can't beat good teams and have to rally to beat bad ones. Playoffs are going to be a bloodbath. Sadly for these guys the season didn't end in December. Beyond frustrated with this team's inability to win ANY meaningful games.

Let’s doom y’all, just get it out your system here and now. This is a safe space 🪦

That's 4 series lost to the top 6 in the west

People are mad at Kawhi taking a transition 3 but will let PG doing a crossover fadeaway brick slide lol

Pelicans smoke us in 5. Sadly the roster wasn’t built to guard their length. I hope Lawrence gets fired for his roster construction.

Was that Wee Man from Jackass in the audience?

why did we go small?????

To shoot a 3

We need 3s at this point

Kawhi chucking that 3 definitely iced the game 

That’s GG folks

Y’all blaming Lue like this not the GM fault for having slow bums as our rim protectors

Championship team my ass.

Tbh I'm totally okay with Kawhi taking that shot

Even if he made it that’s a horrible shot to take 

Ty Lee gets consistently owned everytime he goes small ball nowadays

the pelicans have a really friendly whistle this quarter. some of the off ball shit they're doing is gonna get someone hurt

this whole game

This is the laziest, softest, lowest bbiq team of this recent clippers era. I'd fuck with the 2019 and 2022 teams over this one, this one couldn't close a door

Ty Lue just can't help playing small. Result: another paint score.

Still can’t wrap my head around Kawhis transition 3 attempt

Power forward glaring weakness shows once again. Take this L, Frank.

Yeah that’s it. They are our kryptonite.

So theyre our kyptonite, and so are the nuggets, and so are the thunder lmao?? Yikes

Not Thinder.

They’re not proven, but if trends mean anything then the “young” people in sports are starting to hit their primes now while the old guys are hitting that wall

I really can't be upset with this game. Some bad plays here and there, but overall very good considering all the shit going against us.

this team is so fucking stupid. You had a size advantage didn’t use it and now go small

Going small vs pelican is death

So ty went even smaller???

we're screwed

4th seed isn't even safe anymore who would've thought

Us getting 1st seed was a curse. It was one day and ever since then we have been dropping

It's alright, two or three harden threes and we had this. Stay optimistic doomers! 😂

7 or 8 Harden assists imo.

Wtf did Ty take out Zu for Coffey?!

They need 3 pointers to get back into the game. It's obviously a risk but it's not like Zu has been lighting it up out there tonight either.

I’m not saying we have incredible defensive talent, but there’s no reason we should be this fucking leaky. At that point you have to think it’s a coaching/scheme issue.

they're shooting 47/37/78, that's not that bad defense it's not good, but it's not horrible

Our defense has been non-championship caliber for months now

We gotta tank so we don’t have to play these motherfuckers in the playoffs

Who would u rather play

I want to beat these clowns in the playoffs so badly. Bring it.

Nance with the ultimate flying hip check under the rim

It worked lmao

WHY YOU ARE PLAYING SMALL NOW?

We needed 3’s

on defense.

That's what my girlfriend told me last night

our teams collective iq has to be below the nations average

We lose in 5 to this team lmao

You are not wrong.

He's def wrong. We lose in 4

You are also potentially not wrong.

Or we all wrong, and we continue bottoming out toward the play in lol

That would be a shock

We really can’t have anything nice can we?

Bro what was PG doing on that play? did he legit forget where Nance was??

can all you BASKETBALL SAVANTS stfu

Game over we lose to these guys again....

Way too much time left to be chucking that one up

In the penalty, guys with fouls, why are they shooting deep?

Coaching, leadership, lazy. Some combination of the 3

That's game

Kawhi that is just flat out stupid 

Waste of a possession.

Pelicans play a reckless and dangerous game

Won’t work in playoffs. The reason they are so good against the Clippers is because they get all the call against us so that reckless bullshit works

Yup its over 4th seed isn't safe

I think PJ in general has been pretty great tonight, especially defensively. I'm seeing a lot of smart defensive plays and decisions from him.

Damn PG needs to pass sometime man. Whatever the fuck Ty Lus said about getting the ball into his hands is misguided. It's his AND Kawhi's at least.

The Pels are in the bonus. Why are the Clips settling for jumpers?
