Very sad, even the fLakers can beat Spurs. #hatethem
The Clipper fan understands the Book of Exodus better than anyone... what it's like to struggle 40 years in the wilderness... and Genesis.. why Cain went after Abel... So fLakers, look out... we're coming.

The Spurs had lost 9/10 going into tonight's game, they had a fun start to the season, but that seems to be long gone.

I think Lakers would take those moments, if he could actually shoot this season.

I know scoring isn't really Pat Bev' thing, but Jesus is there a starter in this league worse than him offensively this season?

Pat is not a very skilled basketball player but he has earned every minute and every dollar in the NBA in every other way possible.

Kawhi agreed to join the Clippers organization in NO small part because of the 2019-2020 team. And the org let him go only because we had Reggie to pick up his role as our heart and soul.

PatBev was always a reliable 3pt spot-up shooter. He’s a career 37% shooter. That’s very good. It just seems like anyone who joins the Lakers forgets how to be a shooter.

I agree 100%. But at his best as a Clipper, he would fire up the team and hit the occasional timely 3. Right now he can’t hit he side of a barn, which at one point (since he lacks true point guard skills) starts canceling out your positive contributions.

obviously, keeping Reggie instead was the call

this is COLD man

    NBA NEWS AND VIDEOS

    Imagine being 6’1. Can’t dribble or pass or defend or have a shred of athleticism or speed.

    Shoot 23% from 3 and still getting unlimited leash from a team that’s supposedly competing for something. And getting paid 13 million for it.

    Welcome to Pat Bev’s World.

Big win at Milwaukee for the neighbors. Honestly as much as I enjoyed their early season struggles, it's only a matter of time they turn things around.

Their bad shooting was not sustainable since no one ever shoots as bad as many of their guys were shooting from outside for a season. They had an easy stretch, 9 games, 3 games vs the Spurs who are 29th in Ortg and 29th in Drtg, have lost 10 in a row and are 1-15 in their last 16 games, a game vs Detroit and a game vs Portland who is 1-5 in their last 6 games without Lillard, and then the beat Brooklyn in the first win of the stretch with no Kyrie or Simmons. So they went 7-2, with 5 wins against poor opponents, but then they beat Milwaukee.

So now we'll see how they do in their next 10 games which are going to be a lot of road games and a lot of opponents who are at least decent with just one easy game vs Detroit. If they are able to keep >=.500 through those games it would bode well for them.

39 years old Grandpa Lebron and Glass "Street Clothes" AD. Whatever people say about it, they are the only superstars in town at the moment.

I get jealous when I see other teams have their star players on the court, win or lose, while our stars are enjoying their PTO.

AD is having a rejuvenation as long as he stays healthy, that's always the tough part.

We still need a Clippers vs Lakers playoffs, would be fun (only if the Clippers are healthy).

Looks like their season is washed. Maybe they trade AD now?

They are gonna either lose a ton of games while he’s out, or only lose a bunch of games but then lose Lebron to injury trying to carry the team.

AD is a treat to watch when he's healthy and aggressive, but man, injuries have not been kind to the man in recent seasons
