OFFICIAL LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS 2023-2024 SEASON THREAD

[lawdog1]

And I have to say, while I hate GSW, I respect them. They're a damn good team. The way they pass the ball and always have guys diving to the basket or making backdoor cuts at the right time is really impressive. They're also really good on D about the timing of double-teams, etc.

If they stay fully healthy, I don't think they'll be seriously challenged for the title this year.

Just wait til Melo arrive

Honestly surprised the Clips were still in the top 4 in the West

ok...now back to whatever thread you came from.

i always respected their game as well. they are well coached and their game plan is flawless

i just hate that the talk so much **** and make excuses every time they lose. when they win, its on their own merit. when they lose, the fix is in, conspiracy theories pop up, etc etc.

and i hate their bandwagon fanbase

I mean CP is an all time great so of course you're going to miss him

But sheesh, you don't realize just how badly you miss a guy until he's not there.

This!!!! I can't stand those ******* guys. But watching them play with the top teams like they're kids is amazing. I don't see how they lose the chip this year.

 

[lawdog1]

Well, good effort today, I suppose. And a nice send off for Pierce. But man, it's going to be a long February for us.

 

[Mr.Guy]

Yup.

 

[HIM]

I have 0 respect for the Warriors. Wouldn't piss on em if they were on fire. **** them. They're good though.

 

[lawdog1]

Well, after the last NBA Finals, MLB World Series and Super Bowl, maybe we shouldn't give up on this season yet after all . . .

Jheeze Blake has looked like a top 10 player since returning from injury.

This Blake plus CP coming back? Yeah we'll be fine. Relatively speaking that is.

 

[djkaos23]

The foul call advantage the raptors are being given is horrible. There were like 3 calls that shouldnt have been made while we are being beat up and the refs swallow the whistle on our end.

 

[lawdog1]

Is it just me or has DJ been pretty, um, not good since the ASG announcement? Major non-factor in most of the last few games. Or maybe it coincided with Blake returning. Either way, he needs to start doing something again.

 

[P C H]

The Clippers have got to get their defense in order. Jesus Christ.

The way we've gone from super-elite in the early season, to average, to really porous now is really quite something.

It really is Chris Paul man.

7 game win streak, and the moment he got hurt the entire defense went to pieces. We're 30th in Defensive efficiency since his injury man.

At least Blake looks good.

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ CP is awesome, but his absence is not an excuse for us being the worst defensive team in the league right now, considering the other personnel we have.

 

[wavycrocket]

But I thought....DJ the defensive anchor?

Cp3 is the defensive leader of the clips. Others follow suit. We take for granted just how great that man is.

 

[lawdog1]

There are scheme and philosophy problems with the D right now. Way too much switching. We're not GSW. Can't get away with that. And we also foul way too much.

 

[jumpmanpro97]

feel like the clippers are missing that goon type player they had in the past. There's literally no one with an "edge" on the team

The Matt Barnes, Kenyon Martin, Reggie Evans type player.

 

[lawdog1]

There are scheme and philosophy problems with the D right now. Way too much switching. We're not GSW. Can't get away with that. And we also foul way too much.

... oh, and the fact our best perimeter defender, Luc, barely gets minutes anymore doesn't seem to be helping either.

 

[lawdog1]

Not even confident were gonna beat the sorry-***, disfunctional Knicks tomorrow...

 

[nick.]

Not even confident were gonna beat the sorry-***, disfunctional Knicks tomorrow...

You will

 

[lawdog1]

You will

I wouldn't be so sure. We've already lost to the Nets, Sixers, Lakers, Wolves and Suns this season.
