This team is a joke from the players to the coach. Players playing like trash and Ty Lue keeps in the worst lineup we have since the Harden trade (Big 4). This team is not serious letting DeAndre Jordan of all people score 20 on them. #clowncity

PG loses MPJ and then air balls the 3. Not the reason we lost but sums up his night.

PG so shell-shocked he can't even take an open 3. here's hope he's not so out of it that he can at least hit ONE ft (i hope!)

You can't be "shellshocked" and be a pro. Let alone a HOFer. You go 2-11 then win the game in crunch time with 10 points in 90 seconds.

Honestly they all suck. this is one of the worst teams in the NBA. We were decent before the trade and now we are just bad. no energy, no effort, no defense. Harden is awful on defense, Powell is bad on defense, PG is ok on defense, sometimes, Kawhi is ok on defense, and Zubac is not good on defense.

They got boat raced by Jordan and Jackson. Such a sad display and total waste of money.

Only thing to do at this point is fire Ty Lue to send a message, maybe trade a mid player like Powell

Big thanks to Harden. If this is his play, bigger robbery than Gobert trade for Morey.

What can we get for PG?

all this time and i coulda been doing something interesting or nice or fun or useful or not a complete waste of time

anyway, it's gonna feel like despair in here for a good bit after tonight's game. usually at least when you lose, if there's something in there to build off of, then you accept it. this? i don't really see what there is that we can feel good about. maybe theis going off early on, but if we're supposed to feel good about that, shouldn't we feel badly that he didn't get more run?

my hope is that PG just was battling a bad sinus infection or something like that and that's why he was totally off. still doesn't excuse how the team as a whole failed to show up and dispatch an undermanned (but apparently not outgunned) opponent. i also do think that this is the kind of loss that theoretically will be the catalyst for soul-searching for at least a few guys: which in a sense is good because if they figure some stuff out of this it's ok. but if not.... well, this team's not gonna go very far without that.

Hate to be a downer but hard to believe this type
Of performance.

Clippers fall apart in the 4th. Is it the lack of continuity or lack of heart ?

There is a saying in my sales and management background.

Is it a skill or will? We can coach for skill and can not have some one with no will to improve or be coached.

I haven't been so angry watching a game in a long time.

Seems like the Clippers are the only team that could have lost such a humiliating game.

Why is it that former Clippers play like hall of famers against them? First it was Ingles, how it's Jackson and Jordan.

Just terrible.

If I was Ballmer, I'd demand some answers from Lue- the buck stops with him. Why was the team unprepared to play? Totally inexcusable. He should fire him if they play like this one more time.

nickhx2 · Post #71 » by **nickhx2** » Tue Nov 28, 2023 6:16 am

i guess one thing i will say is that i think we probably all should have had a bit of an expectation that this was gonna go this way lol. maybe it makes you feel better (or maybe it doesn't). guess i'm just not surprised at this, at all.

Gotta play the kids or at least incorporate them in the mix somehow. All these old washed up f*cks aren't going to have night in and night out during the regular season for 82 games. How do you let Reggie and DJ light you up like that? No pride or fight whatsoever. PG was sh*t tonight but he's been ballin' for the team. WTF is up with Harden tho, he's bringing nothing whatsoever to this team. I'd rather see Bones play. What a joke!

Probably the most embarrassing loss in franchise history given the disparity in talent.

NickP · Post #74 » by **NickP** » Tue Nov 28, 2023 6:22 am

Reggie would be an all star if half their games were against us. This is soo frustrating to watch.

I will give PG a semi pass tonight since he has been great. Kawhi? Dude couldn't even take advantage when he had Reggie on him. Zu? I'm over him shame on him for letting washed up DJ make him look like a pillow. Plays like he is 6'5. Ty Lue? I'm not on the fire train just yet but I'm opening the door slightly. This team needs a high energy coach.

You’re right I’m not surprised but still made me so angry to watch. Different players take turns sucking from game to game

esqtvd · Post #77 » by **esqtvd** » Tue Nov 28, 2023 6:27 am

Outscored 24-8 in the 4th quarter after leading by 11 after 3 quarters. I'm not even gonna go to Kawhi and PG choking in Game 7 vs the Nuggets.

Ty tried every combination but they all ate donkey dink. Forget "adjustments." You can't score only 8 points in the 4th quarter and win. Coach can't call plays like the NFL. This is the NBA. One man can score 20 points in a quarter. Give me the ball and get out of the way.

It's these players. They're just too rich, too fat, or too old to give a spit. Kawhi has his rings, and the rest have learned to live without one.

It's not that they don't care. It's that they just don't CARE. It's just a job now. But Ballmer is out of roster options now unless he wants to give away our 2030 FIRST ROUND PICK. [If that's even legal.]

It's not that Ty can't straighten this out. It's that NOBODY can straighten this out. All you can do is shake things up for the sake of shaking things up. Can't fire the whole team.

This is not about Xs and Os. Coach gotta go. Another scapegoat. Pack YOUR sins on HIS back, and chase him out of town. Your sins will go away.

That's it, I'm instituting a 10 game sample size before I can allow myself to be invested in this team again. Although looking at our upcoming schedule, might need to make it 20.

Can't remember any other season with so many embarrassing losses early on, despite all our stars being healthy.

I am not having fun.

Reggie was a buyout [Detroit] who found a second life as a Clipper. Playoff hero, then played hurt. And our fairweather fans spat on him when he was dealt away.

Reggie is one of the great lunchbucket Clippers of all time. And that's why Denver re-signed him even after him losing a rotation spot in their championship run last year.

And that decision is looking great right now.

I see rumors on Twitter that I haven't posted, that Ty is playing who the Front Office is ordering him to. If there were a bot commanding Ty to give out minutes according to salary and length of contract, this is what we would see.

I'm not blaming Ty for any of this at all. If I'm Ty, I'll say to Ballmer and his underlings, "OK, I'll do it YOUR way, as best I can. But if it doesn't work, before you fire me, let me try it MY way."

Nothing I'm seeing is on Ty's head. If I'm right about this, then either Ballmer will let Ty COACH this team, or Ballmer will fire Ty and stick with the course of trying to make the Over The Hill Gang win a title.

With its dying breath. There is no future for this team either way, even if they win it all this year. Russ and Beard are 35 [more or less], and Kawhi and PG are 32+ [more or less].

This is a one-way ticket.
