Clippers have lost back-to-back games. One more, it'll be their first 3-game losing streak of the season. A 3-game losing streak means the Clippers will be eliminated in the playoffs regardless of round, it's a prediction. Also, they will be in the lottery with a 3-4 record. Going under .500 at any point means the Harden trade was a disaster. If Leonard or George get ejected from a game at any point in the season, the Thunder will have won their side of the deal, meaning the Clippers made a huge mistake with the Shai Gilgeous-Alexander trade.

This is a Killer Kombat season. Having Mann back may alleviate some of those ills. With no backup center, is it possible Mann will have to play some 5? I mean, Clippers fought heavily to keep him out of trade talks; he did save the franchise, you know.

Westbrook and Harden need to get the knack. Passing to Zu has been brutal.

Those were some pretty brutal passes by Zu. At the same time trying to play with the new big 4 is something he has never done before. On one of plays if he were more aggressive I think he could've had a dunk. Need angry Zu, he shows it spurts but him learning to play with the big 4 is huge. Get those hands ready Zu!

Let’s get a win! I’ll be watching this one like a hawk. All 4 need to get comfortable with an increased catch and shoot role and take them when open. Otherwise find the open man and protect the ball. Feed the hot hand if one of them starts going off.

Need a win. Dallas won’t be easy.

Need Leonard in the post or curl action. Regulating him to a 3 and D guy isn’t it.

Stuff is gonna start going in. They've been getting good shots. Just a little tight, is all.

Yeah this trade if had to happen, earlier the better was the right call, it’s gonna take a bit but I can see the potential.

nickhx2 · Post #14 » by **nickhx2** » Thu Nov 9, 2023 1:04 am

try as i might, i don't see the point of this tucker/kawhi/mann/bones/powell lineup.

nickhx2 · Post #15 » by **nickhx2** » Thu Nov 9, 2023 1:05 am

and as i say that, now zu is in WITH tucker, none of the big 4 are on the court, and i'm even more confused

Clippers look out of sync but are getting plenty of good looks. Leonard looks surprisingly out of sorts.

Scoundreldays · Post #17 » by **Scoundreldays** » Thu Nov 9, 2023 1:07 am

Some bizarre lineups. I feel atleast 2 of the big 4 should be out there at all times

HardenGoat · Post #18 » by **HardenGoat** » Thu Nov 9, 2023 1:08 am

The shooting is so off. Doing well on defense especially on their shooting/ scoring savant Cam. Harden looks like he needs several games to get in shape. He’s being extremely unselfish so far which is great.

What a block by PG.

Scoundreldays · Post #20 » by **Scoundreldays** » Thu Nov 9, 2023 1:20 am

Impressed with Harden's midrange although feels strange seeing him shoot those. I feel we have some redundancy with Bones and Powell out there with Russ or Harden at the same time. Hopefully the front office has one more move in them to get a decent big/PF.

Or in my Dream scenario Kobe Brown's development accelerates big time.
