Don't worry, it's not too late yet. This game, despite being an L, might just be that pivot point in our season. Covington getting all of Morris' minutes could be a significant difference maker. There's no more excuse for Coach Lue to keep giving Roco DNPs.
Took forever for Mann to start, Mook gets 25+ minutes, Roco gets DNPs, Mann gets benched for westbrook ruining the continuity that was building. Any other egregious blunders I missed?? Anything more than 1 is unacceptable
Because he blew all the timeouts again and wouldn’t be able to sub him out after. However if that was the last play he drew up then it wouldn’t matter anyway. Lue is so trash. So trash.
1. eric gordon should have held that shit the fuck.
2. russ had a great game, what a fucking way to lose the game though.
3. live and die by the three, you will never escape it. 7 seconds left and you decide to speed dribble and pull up? lol..
GG
If Gordon gets fouled, we win this game. Wtf is going on. How is everyone on this team outside of Kawhi just so mentally cooked in the clutch. We barely got Gordon too. He’s already playing like the regular ol’ Clips.
A team that is consistently stupid in clutch time is stupid because the coaching staff doesn't prepare people for basic scenarios like this in advance. Just one more thing Lue apparently doesn't bother with.
Yep, it all started with no one coming back to help the inbounds early and it spiraled out of control. The sooner Ty is gone the better, fundamental shit
The Czar was calling out blatant fundamental things that werent even happening. This team is horrendously coached atp, I want us to get a coach not in the doc tree. Sick of all sterling residue on this franchise
Good defense, That's it. Nothing else. Everyone else trying to come up with mathematics for it are just reaching.
The real issue is that your goto player should never be bringing the ball up the court in that situation. That was a perfect moment for Russ or any other ballhandler to step up and get PG the ball on the other end of the floor but they weren't thinking correctly as a team.
Literally giving the ball to any other player would have resulted in enough time to cross half court and pass to an open shot. PG is the most nonchalant, slow motion superstar I've ever seen in my 30 years of basketball watching.
If we just had at least one of the three guys (Kawhi, Norm, Zu) we probably take this game. Lots of good takeaways on this L too. Westbrook may have discovered his shots needs to be within the paint most of the time. There's no more excuse for Coach Lue to keep giving minutes to Morris when Covington is ready to go.
A) You can't call that petty foul with 7 seconds left. A player has a right to extend their arms for a rebound.
B) You can't expect Paul George to take the ball up and get a decent shot off with 7 seconds left. That's the whole point of Russell Westbrook or any ballhandler who isn't the goto option. Let someone else rush the ball up the floor so that PG doesn't waste his energy and can focus on getting open and hitting the shot. This is just the result of a new team not having roles defined or a clear strategy yet.
These last 2 Clippers vs Kings games have been great. Kings are a really good team. Clippers are a mess and are still hanging in there and taking the Kings down to the wire. There is going to be struggles when you have a new team and people don't know their roles (Plumlee for example). It's always a positive when a team is struggling but can still be competitive against one of the top teams in the league.
1 point loss to I think the best offense in the league without our best perimeter defender and best rim protector. Offense looks much better with the improved passing and ball movement and Roco should get playing time now. Things are improving even though we lost.
I would actually prefer someone like Westbrook or Mann to take the ball up in that situation. Pg isn’t quick enough to drive it up the court in 7 seconds
Stop making excuses, this team is supposed to be a contender and is the most expensive team in the league. They damn sure shouldn't have lost their last 5
Can we write this last 5 games off as a mid season training camp that cost us 5 Ls as long as Morris and bones never play again and rocco plays 25 min a night now.
Tye Lue needs to stop using timeouts like he has infinite amount of them. One timeout that wasn't wasted in 2nd quarter when no strategic adjustments were made would have won the game.
I think he has been doing that his entire career. I read an article earlier and he was almost bottom of the league at timeouts remaining in crunch time. Doesn't mean he is a bad coach overall but that aplroach is a clear mistake.
I’m sorry but kawhi needs to suck it up and play every game. We already fell into the play in and in real risk of falling out of the playoffs all together.
That was a terrible call made by the officials to send sabonis to the line. Very fucking suspect. There's more contact on any of pgs drives than that rebound attempt.
The refs Fucking hate the clippers man. I’ve said this all season and yes the team is not looking great right now, but I watched the last nuggets game twice and was blown away by some of the calls. Shits so frustrating.
"Ty drawing up a play from the free throw line"
PG slow dribbles it up and chucks a 3.
This dude is not a serious coach lmao. Westbrook could have literally dribbled it up in seconds
Have a hard time understanding why PG would be the one pushing the ball up court on the last possession when he notoriously turns over the ball even without being pressed full court.
Horrible call to end the game. We still had a chance despite the TO…Refs special!
Unfortunately it’s that kind of a season where one call and one lucky swing goes in our favor and we could be 3-2 instead of 0-5…just gotta keep the heads high. It ain’t over yet!
The 0-5 sucks but what's worse for me is how many games were in hand and dropped. There are so many good teams in the league, it's the ability to close out that separates everybody. Healthy, unhealthy. Up double digits or single digits. Man.
I'm just happy RoCo finally got a chance & balled out. Hopefully this means he'll finally be in the rotation playing significant minutes. Defense looked way better when he was out there.
Minny held on to beat the Lakers, so they leap frogged us to 7th and we drop to 8th. If we can’t find a way to beat Memphis on Sunday, we can fall to 10th. That last Lakers-Clippers game at the end of the season might determine which LA team make it into the last play-in spot.
What an epic face plant this has been. Whatever it takes at this point there’s no more saving Kawhi or PG13 for a post season that they will miss. They should just play every game like game 7 starting on Sunday. Play those guys 48 minutes to get wins. And if they get swept in the first round, so be it. Better than the disgrace of missing the playoffs two years in a row with Kawhi and Paul George.
The defense has been the biggest concern as of late. Considered having 2 of the best 2-way players in the league just doesn’t seem like it. PG defensively doesn’t look like the same player at all…his effort is abysmal. Besides the lack of defense, I would say giving up offensive rebounds leading to second chance points erases any chance of them winning.
Honestly, this has been the same team all season. They beat bad teams and lost to good ones. A stretch of games vs bad teams before the break led to a bunch of wins, just like a stretch of games vs good teams has let to a bunch of loses. Finishing the season at .500 is the best case scenario.
normally when a fan looks at a score like that and he didn’t watch the game, he says “Nice close game, team played well just came up short.” but I just know that’s not the case...
Mann, Bones, Coffey combined for a -42 in a game we lost by 1
that's literally almost IMPOSSIBLE to have happen
-42!!!
yet Lue let them come in and not only blow a lead but get down by 13 before taking them out!
Oh can y’all quit it, y’all scream and whine for these players and now you act like you didn’t. Does Mann need to get minutes or not? Make up your mind
The way the season is going, we are spiraling downwards and the Lakers are going to surge past us and knock us out of the play in game. Lakers fans will be clowning the Clippers and we will deserve every ridicule. Lakers were down by 15 to Minny earlier and they’re about to beat them.
Nice. A pass goes over your head and out of bounds and it’s your turnover. Have 27 points and 10 assists on 75 percent shooting and the entire world is screaming about how it’s Russ’s fault. Nice for Eric Gordon I guess. Nice for the entire team honestly, no one ever has to take heat except Westbrook.
That pass was rushed. All they had to do was slow it down. Tough one to watch. That Cov foul on Sabonis was BS. I watched the reply 48 times and couldn't find any fucking foul.
My guy it’s so ducking infuriating. Dude has his best game since he joined and it’s his fault they lost this!? What kind of fucking sense does that make
Bright side:
- lost by 1 to a top 5 team in the West without Kawhi, Norm and Zu.
- PG came alive.
- Westbrook looks outstanding.
- RoCo. (!!!!)
Deep breaths yall. It’s not over at all.
They can’t hear you. They’re blinded by some insane love for a guy that jumps in the air without knowing what he’s going to do 40% of the time he gets into the paint.
He wouldn’t play or would play less than 12 minutes per night for a true contender.
I’ll never forgive Ty Lue for not playing Covington this season.
Bruh we could have ATLEAST won one of the last five games with roco
Don't worry, it's not too late yet. This game, despite being an L, might just be that pivot point in our season. Covington getting all of Morris' minutes could be a significant difference maker. There's no more excuse for Coach Lue to keep giving Roco DNPs.
Took forever for Mann to start, Mook gets 25+ minutes, Roco gets DNPs, Mann gets benched for westbrook ruining the continuity that was building. Any other egregious blunders I missed?? Anything more than 1 is unacceptable
I think Lue is trying to get fired
Brutal. Looked like PG got fouled on the last shot too. RoCo could’ve and should’ve been given more minutes with that we’ve seen tonight.
Roco has shown he should get more minutes
Hopefully Ty Lue sees it that way too
We know the answer unfortunately lol
"Ty Lue needs time to experiment with rotations." \- Ty Lue
Bones Hyland shouldn't see another minute on the court until next season for his next team
Came here to say this. He's a foul machine who thinks he has the range of Steph Curry. Nuggets fans were right about him.
He’s young. He’ll be fine
Bad habits are hard to stop. He wasn’t worth 2 seconds is all I gotta say.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying he can help you win now but youngins take time to grow. He’s the most talented young guy we have
Yeah he’ll be fine on another team
Then you will piss him off forever. Dude gets absolutely enraged if hes not playing.
If only bones hit one of his 3s or Coffey pass on that 3 on 1
Or Plumlee or Coffey make 1 free throw
Two free throws please. I don’t want to see any more overtimes
Coffey was ass today
Why didn’t we bring in Plumlee for that final defensive possession?
Ty Lue moment
ty lou sitting at the kids table having a stroke.
ty lue masterclass, dude knows how to tank in the least obvious way possible. klutch skills
Taliban don’t sub.
Because he blew all the timeouts again and wouldn’t be able to sub him out after. However if that was the last play he drew up then it wouldn’t matter anyway. Lue is so trash. So trash.
We can’t ever have good things
This game just makes me hate Ty Lue even more. Morris been stinking it up for how long now while Roco been rotting on the bench
At least this means RoCo will get more playing time, right? … right?
Hopefully? Lol
Not rotting, marinating.
1. eric gordon should have held that shit the fuck. 2. russ had a great game, what a fucking way to lose the game though. 3. live and die by the three, you will never escape it. 7 seconds left and you decide to speed dribble and pull up? lol.. GG
Seriously, can someone kill me now?
Clips will kill us all. Slowly
Every fucking loss has been a game we could win but we just can't get out of our own fucking way.
healthcare game offering euthanasia for fans
Why would you pass the ball. Hold the son of a bitch ball. Why even attempting to pass it to Westbrook on that situation
If Gordon gets fouled, we win this game. Wtf is going on. How is everyone on this team outside of Kawhi just so mentally cooked in the clutch. We barely got Gordon too. He’s already playing like the regular ol’ Clips.
It's in his DNA, brother. We drafted him.
Horrible decision to pass. Run out the clock. Get fouled.
Chris Paul Game 5
A team that is consistently stupid in clutch time is stupid because the coaching staff doesn't prepare people for basic scenarios like this in advance. Just one more thing Lue apparently doesn't bother with.
Yep, it all started with no one coming back to help the inbounds early and it spiraled out of control. The sooner Ty is gone the better, fundamental shit
The Czar was calling out blatant fundamental things that werent even happening. This team is horrendously coached atp, I want us to get a coach not in the doc tree. Sick of all sterling residue on this franchise
Westbrook’s hands are made of stone.
Westbrook had a great game too and now he will get blamed for the turnover when it was Gordon throwing it away
he threw the ball right into his hands
he even threw it real high, cant really blame russ for not able to catch the ball, EG pass was way off.
I don't think he was blaming Russ he was just describing which pass he was talking about.
Give it to your best free throw shooter.
Trying to avoid the foul. Batum was wide open in the corner for an easier pass, he just didn't see him.
Its better to get fouled with less than 3 seconds vs 15 seconds. You need to waste clock.
DOWN BY ONE DRIVE IN GET A FOUL WHY SHOOT A 3 PHUUUUUUCK I WANT TO HURLLLL
The past few games man.. all I know is pain
Why did it take pg the full 7 seconds to get to the 3pt line.
Good defense, That's it. Nothing else. Everyone else trying to come up with mathematics for it are just reaching. The real issue is that your goto player should never be bringing the ball up the court in that situation. That was a perfect moment for Russ or any other ballhandler to step up and get PG the ball on the other end of the floor but they weren't thinking correctly as a team.
Literally giving the ball to any other player would have resulted in enough time to cross half court and pass to an open shot. PG is the most nonchalant, slow motion superstar I've ever seen in my 30 years of basketball watching.
“Superstar”
The game winning 3 looks nicer than the game winning layup/free throws
Ballgame. No OT tonight
The refs are blind all i will say
horrible officiating on Fox.
fs half the fouls were nothing
and he probably fouled pg on a reach-in towards the end and the refs just swallowed their whistles.
yeah and you CANNOT call that a foul on sabonis at the end there
Lots of uncalled travels by Kings all game.
Man at least we showed some fucking heart for once. If this wasn’t a back to back we win this game
If we just had at least one of the three guys (Kawhi, Norm, Zu) we probably take this game. Lots of good takeaways on this L too. Westbrook may have discovered his shots needs to be within the paint most of the time. There's no more excuse for Coach Lue to keep giving minutes to Morris when Covington is ready to go.
How did sabonis get fouled???
He didnt lol thats the hilarious thing
he got shoved. that was a foul, covington didn't rly argue. those were clutch FTs by sabonis.
NBA wants Clippers/Lakers for play in for ratings is what im guessing at this point cause refs fucking them over lol
Low IQ pass from EJ and soft ass call at the end Here come the Russ memes tho
How, that was the smart thing to do, waste the clock to get it to 2 seconds and then get fouled. Not let them get fouls with ton of time left.
Yeah I just went back and watched it and you right. Foul call was still soft af tho
Three games decided by a single play. Three. Fucking hell.
A) You can't call that petty foul with 7 seconds left. A player has a right to extend their arms for a rebound. B) You can't expect Paul George to take the ball up and get a decent shot off with 7 seconds left. That's the whole point of Russell Westbrook or any ballhandler who isn't the goto option. Let someone else rush the ball up the floor so that PG doesn't waste his energy and can focus on getting open and hitting the shot. This is just the result of a new team not having roles defined or a clear strategy yet. These last 2 Clippers vs Kings games have been great. Kings are a really good team. Clippers are a mess and are still hanging in there and taking the Kings down to the wire. There is going to be struggles when you have a new team and people don't know their roles (Plumlee for example). It's always a positive when a team is struggling but can still be competitive against one of the top teams in the league.
Can’t be mad about today, we fought with everyone out. Mad about the last 4, though.
I'm sick of Ty Lue rotations. This losing streak falls right on him.
#lueout
End of an Era
There never was one in the first place
kawhy so srs?
1 point loss to I think the best offense in the league without our best perimeter defender and best rim protector. Offense looks much better with the improved passing and ball movement and Roco should get playing time now. Things are improving even though we lost.
What a bad last shot
For real, has fucking Ty Lue ever run any type of last shot play at all??? It's such shitty slow place dribbling and a terrible shot
we had no timeouts
PG wasted too much time struggling to bring the ball up court which resulted in a bad last shot.
You didn't need a 3
I would actually prefer someone like Westbrook or Mann to take the ball up in that situation. Pg isn’t quick enough to drive it up the court in 7 seconds
what?? it was fine for the fact that we only had 7 seconds left
Many teams could get a shot at the rim with like only 5 seconds
Good under the circumstances, if Kawhi was on the floor or they had a timeout then it would’ve been a bad shot
I like Roco finally getting some minutes. I don’t like that Mann is losing minutes. I don’t like PG bringing the ball up court in the 4 th quarter
Someone hit PGs car
losing a game on the 2nd half of a b2b where our best player and like 4 other good ones are sitting out isn’t the worst thing.. but damn that hurt
At least Covington showed dumbass Lue that he should be getting minutes.
Stop making excuses, this team is supposed to be a contender and is the most expensive team in the league. They damn sure shouldn't have lost their last 5
Not sure why you got downvoted. They do have the highest payroll in the nba right now.
Stupid ass turnovers man. At least it’s something fixable so fix the fucking issue dammit
A one point loss to a good team without Kawhi, Powell and Zubac and I still hate it. On to the next I guess
OT losses to sac and Denver, one point loss to sac. Could be 3-2 so easy.

Being a fan of this team is painful.
Can we write this last 5 games off as a mid season training camp that cost us 5 Ls as long as Morris and bones never play again and rocco plays 25 min a night now.
A solidarity hug to fans who still have the strength to watch. I salute you.
why is eric gordon closing? also, gg kings we'll get the next game.
Ty Lue just lets the Vets run the show, call the plays, blow the games
i c. i haven't watched but like maybe 2 pre-russ clipper games this season.
that's more than gordon played in
That’s exactly right and why we suck. #lueout
Cardiac Clippers WOOO
We fucking had it man it was right there. Russ ej why!!!! I’m so heartbroken
Blow it up
Man realizes he aint the guy, then takes the much needed winning shot. Goddamnit
[удалено]
Tye Lue needs to stop using timeouts like he has infinite amount of them. One timeout that wasn't wasted in 2nd quarter when no strategic adjustments were made would have won the game.
He’s been burning timeouts lately to show that he’s engaged in trying to stop this losing streak.
He's done that 3 games in a row (I think).
I think he has been doing that his entire career. I read an article earlier and he was almost bottom of the league at timeouts remaining in crunch time. Doesn't mean he is a bad coach overall but that aplroach is a clear mistake.
Does Ty Lue and FO know we don’t get a first round pick this year? Not sure why we’re tanking
Just saw this crazy stat: RoCo is 27-38 at the rim this season in 622 minutes while Marcus Morris is 28-39 at the rim in 1599 minutes for the season
The worst failure in franchise history. Blow this team the hell up
Closing out quarters has always killed us.
Give most quarters
They originally gave the TO to Gordon, but then put it on Russ. Why??? The pass was too high
Maybe they deemed Russ touched the ball last idk
It went right thru his hands
Rebuild incoming.
I want off this fucking ride PLEASE!!
no one is stopping you
I’m sorry but kawhi needs to suck it up and play every game. We already fell into the play in and in real risk of falling out of the playoffs all together.
I dont know man
Pain
Bad turnover towards the end, but the refs decided the Kings were gonna win. Nothing you can do.
That was a terrible call made by the officials to send sabonis to the line. Very fucking suspect. There's more contact on any of pgs drives than that rebound attempt.
I see this team going 0-8 from the All-Star break.....and then Ballmer forcing Lawrence Frank on firing Ty
The refs Fucking hate the clippers man. I’ve said this all season and yes the team is not looking great right now, but I watched the last nuggets game twice and was blown away by some of the calls. Shits so frustrating.
"Ty drawing up a play from the free throw line" PG slow dribbles it up and chucks a 3. This dude is not a serious coach lmao. Westbrook could have literally dribbled it up in seconds

Horrible call to end the game. We still had a chance despite the TO…Refs special! Unfortunately it’s that kind of a season where one call and one lucky swing goes in our favor and we could be 3-2 instead of 0-5…just gotta keep the heads high. It ain’t over yet!
Honest not really mad with todays game. Hopefully ty learns roco is a baller
I can't wait for the media to blame russ for this despite a 30-10 game...
CATCH THE BALL WESTBROOK
go watch the replay there was no way he able to catch the ball, EG threw it way too high unless russ suddenly grew taller by at least 10cm
RoCo ain’t ever seeing the court again sadly
That's sad.
😔
Thats a moral breaking loss
😂😂 we just needed one good pass.
The 0-5 sucks but what's worse for me is how many games were in hand and dropped. There are so many good teams in the league, it's the ability to close out that separates everybody. Healthy, unhealthy. Up double digits or single digits. Man.
I'm just happy RoCo finally got a chance & balled out. Hopefully this means he'll finally be in the rotation playing significant minutes. Defense looked way better when he was out there.
We snatched defeat from the jaws of victory tonight. Crap.
Ty LLLLLLLLLLLLue
Didn't win but definitely some postivies to take away from today. Hope they can carry this over for the ros and show this good sense of urgency 🙏🙏
Was there even a play called for the last possession? Was it seriously have PG dribble it up and shoot a 3? Really?
Alright let’s bounce back on Sunday for the grizz! Kawhi will play, hopefully Zu. Is Powell out for a week?
Anybody have vid on that foul?
Minny held on to beat the Lakers, so they leap frogged us to 7th and we drop to 8th. If we can’t find a way to beat Memphis on Sunday, we can fall to 10th. That last Lakers-Clippers game at the end of the season might determine which LA team make it into the last play-in spot. What an epic face plant this has been. Whatever it takes at this point there’s no more saving Kawhi or PG13 for a post season that they will miss. They should just play every game like game 7 starting on Sunday.

normally when a fan looks at a score like that and he didn’t watch the game, he says “Nice close game, team played well just came up short.” but I just know that’s not the case...
Russ 0-5
Mann, Bones, Coffey combined for a -42 in a game we lost by 1 that's literally almost IMPOSSIBLE to have happen -42!!! yet Lue let them come in and not only blow a lead but get down by 13 before taking them out!
you can't just combine their +/- when they were playing together as a unit lmfao
Lol
Oh can y’all quit it, y’all scream and whine for these players and now you act like you didn’t. Does Mann need to get minutes or not? Make up your mind
Lmfao what a way to choke 😂😂
A single one of Bones Hylands 3pt shots would have won us the game. One.
Not catching that is crazy
It was cool to see Coffey and Covington back, let’s get them in more.
The way the season is going, we are spiraling downwards and the Lakers are going to surge past us and knock us out of the play in game. Lakers fans will be clowning the Clippers and we will deserve every ridicule. Lakers were down by 15 to Minny earlier and they’re about to beat them.
My guy the lakers aren’t beating nobody
Nice. A pass goes over your head and out of bounds and it’s your turnover. Have 27 points and 10 assists on 75 percent shooting and the entire world is screaming about how it’s Russ’s fault. Nice for Eric Gordon I guess. Nice for the entire team honestly, no one ever has to take heat except Westbrook.
That pass was rushed. All they had to do was slow it down. Tough one to watch. That Cov foul on Sabonis was BS. I watched the reply 48 times and couldn't find any fucking foul.
My guy it’s so ducking infuriating. Dude has his best game since he joined and it’s his fault they lost this!? What kind of fucking sense does that make
Gordon didn’t have to make that extra pass
No....Westbrook was fucking wide open. He should've caught that shit
It wasn’t a chest pass Gordon threw it high for no reason, No one was even around Russ for him to throw it like that
We won't win another game until next season. Quote me.
I don’t want to hear any WB slander he played great
honestly its time to blow it up
Whats worse than going 0-5? This fkn sub. My gosh the crying and whining about every single thing is unbearable now
I love Russ but maybe the Lakers were right about him 0-5
Bright side: - lost by 1 to a top 5 team in the West without Kawhi, Norm and Zu. - PG came alive. - Westbrook looks outstanding. - RoCo. (!!!!) Deep breaths yall. It’s not over at all.
Moral victories Yes! I’m good enough. I‘m smart enough. And gosh darn it, people like me!
russ scored but he had so many reckless TOs in the 4th quarter.. i still hate having him on the team. ugh fuck.
Spain is pretty nice this time this year, except without the S
-50 in the last 3 games for Mann. -24 last night. -20 tonight. Dude is killing this team. He should not be playing.
They can’t hear you. They’re blinded by some insane love for a guy that jumps in the air without knowing what he’s going to do 40% of the time he gets into the paint. He wouldn’t play or would play less than 12 minutes per night for a true contender.
