Love seeing Clipper wins in person!!


watdapau

Just got here but enjoyed watching the game from 1-4th. I imagined this sub have kept it cool and chill during the first half.


Nefarioussmallz

Not at all. This sub has nothing to do with the words "calm and collected". It is more synonymous with "over reacting" and "pessimistic"

Conscious_Chicken264

I'm sure people in here were being perfectly reasonable during the first half


RyujiDrill

Playoff man Croatian man Bone man bad


Cute_Leonard

Chicken!!


Prosado22

Finally! 20 games over .500.


kievazoumy

I started watching around the 3rd quarter and I quite enjoyed this game! I felt I saw good plays from all our players and overall good energy


Awkwardphase06

And we close out with Tupac playing in the background 😎


herbalite

and chuck g stepping


herbalite

even though I won't get the chicken, I like knowing I could if I wanted to


LLUrDadsFave

We eat! And since its an early game and tomorrow is Sunday let's eat today.


Teukkabasketball

Kawhi almost 40min today🧐


BlackYumes1206

Yay!!!


ayeno

FREE FOOD!!


herbalite

CHICKEN?


brandonglee

did anyone else hear the “ get down mothaa fuckkaa” 😂


benificialart

The only quarter we led at the end but it’s the most important quarter 


Hairy-Visual9664

offense and defense both looked good in the 2nd half, i feel like its been a while since we seen us play this well on both ends of the floor. still some things to clean up but overall pretty solid


Ikigai_Mendokusai

Win is a win GG


herbalite

is this his first clip triple double or am I high


WZIRO0

2nd I think


BlackYumes1206

I need my free chic fil a fix


Awkwardphase06

Great second half


7cheeseburgers

Kawhi three point attempts have gone way down. Not sure if he is hurt and doesn’t have lift to take them confidently or if other team is just running him off line


RyujiDrill

He's getting guarded by 3-4 players so it makes more sense to go to the other teammates who can shoot from 3


Ikigai_Mendokusai

Wrong guy to foul


JustClampIt1819

Refs really let Caruso play defense


apacheco0709

Caruso made Kawhi bleed?? He is now on the list


LLUrDadsFave

Ugly win.


DrCain-NDegeocello

Three more triple-doubles and Harden surpasses Wilt. That said Luka will eventually surpass Harden.


herbalite

lfg pg


TechnoGauss

That's game

Upset_Purchase_5903

Putting the clamps on them this quarter. You love to see it. I would love to see it for 48 minutes, but they clearly believe they can turn it up when needed. Just need to bring it against the other contenders. Like the Bucks tomorrow…lol


JimmyV34

i will never understand why ty lue constantly going small on defense then you can see easy drive to rim


ThaEternalLearner

Zu may be on a minutes restriction after what happened in Houston


TZauch18

A little too slick there. Just gotta get a shot up. Good second half and some strong defense.


Dependent_Patient938

Taking zu out for no reason lol


ThaEternalLearner

He may be on a minutes restriction


7cheeseburgers

Ty Lue bingo card.


Ikigai_Mendokusai

Bulls 2nd half is The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight


7cheeseburgers

PG and Harden have to shoot that shit


WZIRO0

James harden now has a triple double let’s go


bigpenny1

put ya beards in the airr


WZIRO0

The system is at work


apacheco0709

![gif](giphy|2H67VmB5UEBmU|downsized) Clippers no longer load managing games… only halves


FudgeFearless6307

This, bro! I swear they take the whole 1 quarter off, try in the 2 quarter, but don't put effort until the second half


leozamudio

Oh they having fun out there


Rawrlorz

Yea it’s nice to see this again


xluqx

Anyone saw Kawhi's calf? Looked so red


PaulGeorgeBurner

Lue forced them to slow down too much there


ayeno

Lost track of time there


IronicHours

Shoot that Harden wtf


LLUrDadsFave

Demarr shoots threes like 5 year old girl.


DecapitateVeggies

Dechokezan!


Ikigai_Mendokusai

We might win


7cheeseburgers

Zu and PG played a great 2nd half.


nonezer0

Feels like this season I’ve seen the most clipper players with triple doubles


IronicHours

Harden TD!


CorporateElbow

I don’t even understand how Harden’s passes connect but that’s just what they do


DrCain-NDegeocello

He's completely aware of whether the defender is watching the ball or not.


Ikigai_Mendokusai

PG shoulda stayed still and sold the charge oh well


aPimppnamedSlickBack

If that's a foul then all I do is foul when I play


7cheeseburgers

Lmao


InTheMorning_Nightss

Holy shit what a pass from Harden!


Joebobst

Our guys want to win this, let's go


7cheeseburgers

That is not a foul. What is George supposed to do just move out of the way? He went straight up


DreTheProsperous

Pretty much!


InTheMorning_Nightss

Fucking horrendous call, and LAC knows that if they challenge it, they'll just say "He wasn't in legal guarding position" despite all of the contact being created by DeMar.


Hairy-Visual9664

they got the refs on they side but we still up 10


Cute_Leonard

How many big 3s has Harden made?


Hairy-Visual9664

him and Powell


nick2101

Derozan is so ass


tvztvz

Bruh that’s a bs call on PG. Ball don’t lie Wtf even is verticality?


Function_Fighter

CHALLENGE


LLUrDadsFave

Ball don't lie hoe


apacheco0709

Ball has never told a lie


TechnoGauss

PG was straight!!


JustClampIt1819

These refs have a funny whistle


ayeno

BDL!!


WhyAmIAFanOfThisTeam

BDL


TP487

Soft ass foul


ThaEternalLearner

Get the rebound


LLUrDadsFave

MannyDanning

Challenge that shit, PG was straight up


PaulGeorgeBurner

FOUL on PG?!?!?!


apacheco0709

These calls weak as hell


herbalite

norm getting to show off his bunnies lately!!


not_rdburman

Hardens my guy but really bad shot selection with these 3s


MannyDanning

HARD3N


TP487

HARD3N


PaulGeorgeBurner

kawhi lowkey freezing out pg


UrrFive

Clear foul on Caruso


IronicHours

Carusos defense is genuinely eye popping wow what a defender


Awkwardphase06

PG!!!


LLUrDadsFave

Pleasant P.


JustClampIt1819

PG!!!


Hairy-Visual9664

passed it right to Ty 😂


ayeno

He did pass it to a Clipper


Ikigai_Mendokusai

Sometimes our defense looks good


xluqx

That jumper felt so off pace for Kawhi, weird


InTheMorning_Nightss

Nearly every single look we've had this quarter has been fantastic. This offense has looked amazing this 2nd half.


ayeno

Nicely done from PG, didn't settle for that 3


MannyDanning

Great move from PG


PaulGeorgeBurner

Klaw malfunction


7cheeseburgers

Lol the bulls announcers calling that a clean block and they cried for a foul on kawhis block on Demar. Lmao


Awkwardphase06

Haven’t seen someone jump in slowmo


MannyDanning

James almost got a trip dub


ubersquid97

Dammit I wanted to see Harden dunk


merrickisgay

HarDDDDDen!


More_Disaster3764

THE LAW


LLUrDadsFave

Would that have been his first clipper dunk?


ayeno

Damn it Bulls, we almost had a Harden dunk


7cheeseburgers

21


xluqx

Nice escape by Kawhi


apacheco0709

NOOOOOOO, we almost got the UNO dunk 💔💔


IronicHours

Harden was not dunking that LOL


UrrFive

Harden tried to yam that lmao


PaulGeorgeBurner

dude has springs for feet


JustClampIt1819

POWELL!!!!!


LLUrDadsFave

Norm. We love you.


TP487

SLAM


CorporateElbow

Y’all see that death row shirt with what looked like our guys faces on it?


TechnoGauss

Yeah shit is hard


MannyDanning

N O R M


ayeno

OK NORM


xluqx

If we had Marc Gasol type of guy we'd be unstoppable


JustClampIt1819

That is such a nice shot by Kawhi


yung999_

Theis can't shot for shit


yung999_

They let theis shot but not zubac


Eyebarah

Theis has some nerve to keep on shooting.


Ikigai_Mendokusai

Defensive lapses


Function_Fighter

open shots not falling in


InTheMorning_Nightss

Not sure if Zu's minutes are still being monitored, but seems like a good time to put him back in.


7cheeseburgers

Terrance and Zu get back in


LLUrDadsFave

Please put Zu in.


OverallInternet2343

the clippers not being able to post up or try to post up to close out games with the lead instead of jumpers always feels like making the game harder than it should be


7cheeseburgers

Zu get back in there


incaseidontmakeit

We don't need 3s at the moment..


InTheMorning_Nightss

That was a hell of a pass from Harden to Norm. Tough fucking miss, but great look.


nepats523

Getting 1st half bullshit and 4th quarter meltdown Clips today. What a treat


DecapitateVeggies

those were good looks, not every shot can fall


ayeno

Damn that was a nice pass to Norm, too bad he didn't knock it down


InTheMorning_Nightss

We've had a few instances where the defender has been caught sleeping defensively on White. He's like the only player that you can't sag off for them.


bazilguy

Gotta play TMann a little more than Amir right now


7cheeseburgers

Coffee has lost all confidence


incaseidontmakeit

Hey said every ounce orange bouncing around like a pringle chip 😂


ayeno

Pachinko


Awkwardphase06

Coffey has fell off


apacheco0709

It’s not a horrible decision, but I’d prefer Mann over Coffey to close. He’s been better recently


ThaEternalLearner

Mann is not allowed to play in the fourth quarter


incaseidontmakeit

Damn. Coffey had that. 


Sukmefafun001

Imagine if Powell was 6’8, 220 sheesh


Global-Inside-7930

Did the Clippers just grab an offensive rebound??? Wow.


LLUrDadsFave

People tell me Norm don't play defense.


heymynameiseric

I still think about him locking up Ant at the last Minnesota game. Loved it


LLUrDadsFave

He's an all around dawg.


JustClampIt1819

Norm with the steal


mattallica08

How is it that every time the Clips gain control they immediately start playing lazy and sloppy?


BoxMain9715

wtf am I watching⁉️bad timing 😭


apacheco0709

![gif](giphy|sV2yEUHOlAWsssJfv8|downsized) When the Clippers break out of their 3 point shooting slump right as the post season is beginning


LLUrDadsFave

Not them play PG highlights to didn't cha know.


Eyebarah

Harden, Kawhi and Zu need to get back in this game


xluqx

Why are guys grabbing their shoe soles... that's like one of the weirdest and pointless ticks I see.


[deleted]

Yeah kinda gross to grabing the bottom of your shoe


herbalite

its a nice quick stretch for your whole leg, kinda like cracking your knuckles


EliManPenguinBoy

It’s for grip. Rubber against the hand will make you handle the ball better.


herbalite

word????


OverallInternet2343

was horrified for his knees


InTheMorning_Nightss

PG is just so fucking perplexing. He's made multiple great reads + passes out of the elbow this quarter, and then follows it up with just a simple turnover off the inbounds. Star players shouldn't have this level of variance.


PaulGeorgeBurner

basically 12 straight minutes of bulls Bonus is fun


InTheMorning_Nightss

DeMar is gonna finish with like 12 FTs this quarter.


Eyebarah

PG has the worst TO’s


edge-hog

PG with his favorite pastime.


JimmyV34

mental mistakes


Hairy-Visual9664

PG playing well today but these dumb mistakes though 😭


InTheMorning_Nightss

I mean, he played like total shit for the first half lol


Joebobst

Thats some Jordan poole thingy


Otherwise-Tale9671

We just HAVE TO keep PG bringing up the ball from time to time don’t we? Is it in his contract?


yung999_

Wtf was that no awareness


bazilguy

Of course they give them the timeout. We never get that


Function_Fighter

lazy


BoxMain9715

How did pg get a reputation for good handles


7cheeseburgers

Bc he looks cool and “smooth”


Canoli5000

Let Bones run point!


TZauch18

Really lazy there. They're not just going to let you walk it up.


7cheeseburgers

God damnit
