Yeah. Tough game. Somewhat bummed. But the NBA playoffs has this bully ball quick foul problem. Gordon is elbowing throwing everyone around, same with jokic. Then as soon as someone contacts them it's a foul. Kawhi and harden have been ok. I kinda think that early stretch in the second and dunn minutes turned the tide of the game. And I'm a fan of dunn, just was a tough stretch

Embarrassing effort. I'd be fine with a loss but don't go out like a bunch of bitches

This is pathetic. Oldest team in the league and we can't even win a playoff series anymore, even with a healthy Kawhi. What's the point? There is no justification to bring this team back as-is for any more wasted seasons. Unless we pull a miraculous comeback out of our asses starting right now (unlikely) it's time to trade everyone and recoup our assets.

I have no idea what we are looking at. This was like when we played "animal ball" in the schoolyard. No fouls, no rules.

Zu and Kawhi are the only ones with any trade value to the rest of the league, and Zu had a career year. The rest are everybody else's rejects.
I have no idea what everyone expected. Ballmer wanted to open the Ballmerdome with a splash and he did. We can back up the truck but there's nothing to put in it.
I had a helluva time this year. Sorry to go out like this, but it's hard to say THESE aren't the real Clippers.

Very disappointing. Bunch of junk from this team.
And Denver? Y'all are just giving your 2 week notice.
Time to ride along with the Timberwolves for the rest of the playoffs. :shrug: : )

What a way to go out. Used to be upset over this kind of showing but I’m indifferent.
Unless Ballmer changes his mind an overhaul is not happening. He doesn’t believe in it.

Oh well can't say I am surprised by Harden's performance. I was hoping Norm will get hot today. He just hasn't been the same since coming back from injury. Regardless him and Zu had an amazing year.

Yeah. I do think Norm and Zu were pretty bad this game but they both have had great years. Similarly I thought Dunn was bad in this game, but he's been good all year. Felt bad for Ben Simmons, I thought he deserved a shot to defend Gordon all series.

If you’re not shaking up the roster you might need to change the coach. They’ve been fired for a lot less. A change in voice might be the shake up needed. That’s not putting the blame all on him cause it goes all around.
Of course all our wants don’t matter if Ballmer is happy with the treadmill result.

Well, this has been an embarrassment
Coaching change is nice and all, but what's the goal for this team? Coaching change is just putting a bandaid on the situation as the real issue is a roster that isn't strong enough.

Change in approach. Change in philosophy.
It doesn’t fix all the problems. But Ballmer has stood firm in wanting to put a competitive team out there. He’s not interested in a rebuild like many want here.
If we’ve gone as far as we can with this roster the same can be said for the coach too.

Powells contract is expiring next year. Trade him to a contender. Encourage Harden to walk. Trade Kawhi for some picks. Trade Lue for a second round pick. Promote Shaw and make Van Gundy key assistant.
Keep Zu.

It’s frustrating watching our young guns playing with fire and make thing happen knowing they won’t sniff the court next season. Cause you know reason.
They’re making the Nuggets play the starters lol.
