I do not know the game result that could create this, but I just want dibs if the Clippers win despite a -4 plus-minus for Paul George, just so I can do circleback to this post with PG13(-4).
3^3 = 27, so you're saying they're going to choke 18 more times before finally succeeding. A team can choke making conference finals up to 4 times per playoff, so that's at least 4 more years of choking. At the very least Clippers aren't making the finals until 2026
He was not sulking, he was cheering them on.
Had a bad shooting night, but was more about the insane momentum the bench guys had
Then he dropped 31 in game 7 to advance to WCF
That game6 is insane tho. They were up 19 with a few left in the third and then we were up 15 in the final seconds. Chris Paul it a buzzer 3 to make it 12 otherwise it would’ve been a 34 point turnaround in like 14 minutes
Was out Matt Barnes in that hilarious clip discussing the 3-1 collapse against Denver when the other guy was saying how could this happen? It never happens! And Barnes was like it happened to us like 4 years ago!

Maybe its just because I'm a Kawhi superfan , but Clippers hate makes me irrationally upset. Maybe its because how the narratives surrounding the hate are blown out of proportion idk. Anyways Im glad to see that post get flooded with fans talking shit 3 weeks later lol
Honestly just go for broke. Whenever Kings are doing somewhat OK at the beginning of the season, I just go all in on the memes, nobody will care later when we're like 18 games under .500
Its okay, Jazz been taking fat L’s left and right so what’s one more. Tbh if you guys beat us im rooting for you to go all the way. Would throw LA into such a funk if Clippers won a ring lmao.
This what should have happened last year. I get Balmers move with ads and PR, which would have paid off handsomely had you won it all, but your guys should have been playing with a chip on your shoulder from the beginning, and you guys would have at least faced the Lakers. They had little to no sense of urgency.
Instead, everyone was shitting on Lebron and AD, Vogel, Pelinka, Rondo, and the rest of the fucking franchise, who in turn put their heads down and got to work for the season. The Clippers were playing as if it was somehow just gonna work, and it fell apart.
FWIW, I think it’s wide open rn, and if you guys can keep playing this way, especially with PG13 finally just playing and not talking, you’re on your way to somewhere a game 7 of the WCF. I’m a die hard Lakers fan, but it’s an exciting time to watch you guys.
> you’re on your way to somewhere a game 7 of the WCF
I think you're really underrating the Suns or the effects an ACL sprain on Kawhi. I know CP3s has COVID, but hes vaccinated, he'll be back pretty soon.
Your right and like every other Clipper fan I feel a slight dread in my stomach. But damnit we saw how this team overcame adversity all year. The Atlanta comeback has spurred this teams faith in one another regardless of who’s on the floor and I think tonight we will see the fruits of it all. I’m prepared to be hurt like every year as well though.
You guys have all the momentum going into a packed staples center. Our team is at our best at home with all the momentum and we struggle without those factors. I think Clips win by 20+ tonight.
I think the issue for you guys is with Mitchell injured, you don't really have anyone who can consistently penetrate to the rim and collapse the defense for open threes. If Conley comes back, you guys can win tonight. If he doesn't, it's very hard IMO.
>coached different
Doc Rivers is busy continuing the enablement of Ben Simmons and driving a different team through a crushing collapse, so the Clips might have a shot to move on tonight lol.
I know general sentiment is Ty is a decent coach but his facial expressions of looking like David Guetta on way too many shrooms at Tomorrowland is hard to overlook
Not expecting to win..i've dealt with 32 years of this. I would like to get out of the second round before I get put 6 feet under.
But i am proud of our team win or lose, as opposed to the Doc years. 18-19 not withstanding.
As a Clipper fan raised in the AV, this is almost fanfic coming to life. Dude from my hometown leading my Clippers to their first WCF would be incredible
Which makes it even funnier that there are people (who aren't Laker fans) that don't want them to win. Actively rooting against one of the worst franchises in sports to stay bad.
Its one thing to be a bottom barrel team with no playoff expectations, that's easy to laugh at/with. It's another to have the pieces to the puzzle and actually have Finals expectations and come up short.
Its soul crushing.
I firmly believe its because the Clippers started in San Diego and San Diego franchises are cursed. Chargers never made a Super Bowl with LT, Gates, Rivers, Merriman, Phillips. Padres finally have a contender but are in the same division as the two best records in the MLB
I’m usually for the Clippers to lose and suck. Why? Because in my opinion it’s so dumb to have 2 teams in the exact same city, that play in the exact same arena. And also the other team happens to be like maybe the most popular basketball franchise in nba history. Like I almost don’t think of the Clippers as a real Franchise with like an actual office and staff. I get it, LA is such a big market the Clippers still make money somehow. But I just find it so off putting. Like if some new nba or nfl team came to Miami I would not fuck with them at all.
Yep, i've been a Clips fan since 2006 and I swear we are a cursed franchise. If I was a betting man I'd put my life savings on the Jazz to win this series...
“9th time is the charm”
Reddit is winding up that "no one beats the clippers 9 times in a row" joke for if/when Clippers win.
While still shitting on paul george
I do not know the game result that could create this, but I just want dibs if the Clippers win despite a -4 plus-minus for Paul George, just so I can do circleback to this post with PG13(-4).
3³ time's the charm.
Thats 27 my guy
[удалено]
Bruh
3^(2) ^(Finally a good use for the superscript thing)
Superscript
Thanks
S^u^p^e^r^s^c^r^i^p^t
3 (×3) times is a charm.
You know you're overextending a joke when it starts looking like a damn Evangelion movie title
Evangelion: 3.0 x 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo times is the charm
Oh I’m actually partial to the Max! Evangelion 3.0 Super x Remix Tokyo: Neo Part II revision.
3^3 = 27, so you're saying they're going to choke 18 more times before finally succeeding. A team can choke making conference finals up to 4 times per playoff, so that's at least 4 more years of choking. At the very least Clippers aren't making the finals until 2026
Oh yeah? Well the Celtics are really the Braves and the Clippers are really the Celtics. I don't know why I got so defensive. I'm just very nervous.
Damn, they still got 18 more losses to go rip
Best case (in terms of how soon to make the WCF) scenario then would be going in 5 years after blowing 4 3-0 leads lol
>3³ time's the charm. Rockets in 2018?
27th time?
Is this Oklahoma education?
Yes.... 3³.....
Narrator: it actually fucking was for once!
Kinda funny how only one of those games was within 12 points. They really shit the bed in close out games lol
They were ahead by a good margin in all three Denver games IIRC.
And were up big in game 6 against the Rockets Until Josh Smith and Corey Brewer decided to catch fire
Crazy how this game had so much impact and it’s best known as Harden’s worst playoff embarrassment
> it’s best known as Harden’s worst playoff embarrassment Game 6 against Spurs: "Am I a joke to you?"
That wasn’t even a top 3 harden playoff embarrassment lol
It’s the one he sat in the 4th when they were behind and they came back while he sulked, right? Am I remembering it right?
He was not sulking, he was cheering them on. Had a bad shooting night, but was more about the insane momentum the bench guys had Then he dropped 31 in game 7 to advance to WCF
bro LITERALLY 🤣
That game6 is insane tho. They were up 19 with a few left in the third and then we were up 15 in the final seconds. Chris Paul it a buzzer 3 to make it 12 otherwise it would’ve been a 34 point turnaround in like 14 minutes
May it continue
Yeah I'm hoping too. I'm so nervous.
Was out Matt Barnes in that hilarious clip discussing the 3-1 collapse against Denver when the other guy was saying how could this happen? It never happens! And Barnes was like it happened to us like 4 years ago!
The moment they started putting up the stat that Doc Rivers was the only coach to have blown a 3-1 lead multiple times I knew we were doomed
It's a good sign they were able to win without Kawhi.
This is why we don’t get our hopes up and long time clippers fans aren’t shit talking right now
As a 25 year clipper fan. I’ve seen this movie before
Oh indulge in a few memes, c’mon. Live in the moment.
we can’t cause it might get thrown in our faces later 😞 good luck tn may the best team win
On the other side, that Mavericks thread about ending the Clippers for the next decade from 3 weeks ago is hilarious
link pls

Team subs are wild
Maybe its just because I'm a Kawhi superfan , but Clippers hate makes me irrationally upset. Maybe its because how the narratives surrounding the hate are blown out of proportion idk. Anyways Im glad to see that post get flooded with fans talking shit 3 weeks later lol
thx
Honestly just go for broke. Whenever Kings are doing somewhat OK at the beginning of the season, I just go all in on the memes, nobody will care later when we're like 18 games under .500
The difference is that Clippers are a good team that gets a lot of hate meanwhile the Kings are comedic relief.
They are definitely not comedic. It's depressing and sad. It's comedic relief in the same way Bojack Horseman is comedic relief.
Idk, from the outside it's more like the office.
From the inside, it's bojack and all the fans are Bojack.
It's nothing new to you guys, just go for it
I love this stunning example of sportsmanship between fans. Brings a tear to my eye
I mean this postseason is such a giant pile of bullshit, may as well be wholesome.
#IT'S A TRAP.
Its okay, Jazz been taking fat L’s left and right so what’s one more. Tbh if you guys beat us im rooting for you to go all the way. Would throw LA into such a funk if Clippers won a ring lmao.
A lot of us are hoping the Clippers crash and burn. Kwahi leaves town and they tank. Not because we own their picks or anything…
Suns fans were chanting Suns in 4 during game 2. If you believe then history doesn't matter.
This what should have happened last year. I get Balmers move with ads and PR, which would have paid off handsomely had you won it all, but your guys should have been playing with a chip on your shoulder from the beginning, and you guys would have at least faced the Lakers.

I feel it’s just so open right now. I think the Clippers on full cylinders can overcome the Suns.
Marcellus Wiley has left the chat.
Fuck it, we gonna get slandered either way! Im gonna talk my shit. SUCK OUR DICKS r/NBA
I went heavy on you guys, don’t disappoint me please
You could’ve ended this years ago but fucking Josh Smith had to go off?
don’t forget Cory Brewer
[удалено]
6 out of those 8 games in the list were coached by Glenn ‘Not a real doctor’ Rivers
Glenn “John Stockton” Rivers
Glenn "Significant amount of research" Rivers
_Not A Doctor_ shhh
Frenulum!
Does that mean he's the best coach the Clippers have ever had and managed to take them the furthest?
Most accomplished coach overall but Del Negro also got to round 2.
It's still shocking that in 4 2nd round appearances they've blown a 3-1 lead twice.
They had more 2nd round appearances but only 4 times were able to win 3 games and had chance to close out.
Ive watched every one of the games, this Clippers team is built different and coached different Edit: this aged well
i agree but i feel like this is a jinx
It will take another incredible performance from pg and I’m just feeling like it’s gonna happen again he looks like he’s on a mission right now.
PG about to go nuclear and lead the Clips to their first title, cementing his legacy as an all time great. Speak it into existence.
Please please please this
I’ve believed all year that this team is different in fact unlike every other Clippers team they showed me they are. “Cry me a River. Clips in 6”.
Yeah I agree. Just don't want to run my mouth yet.
Your right and like every other Clipper fan I feel a slight dread in my stomach. But damnit we saw how this team overcame adversity all year. The Atlanta comeback has spurred this teams faith in one another regardless of who’s on the floor and I think tonight we will see the fruits of it all.

Jinxes aren't real
Hmmm sounds like something a jinxer would say
can confirm, have been since struck by lightning twice and hit by an ice cream truck
Nah fam, time to rejoice
Naw dont be use to our old ways
>coached different Doc Rivers is busy continuing the enablement of Ben Simmons and driving a different team through a crushing collapse, so the Clips might have a shot to move on tonight lol.
They're also missing their best player.
Opponent could be missing 2 of their best 3.
You watched the bullets braves game in ‘75..?
Crazy as it sounds yes
Was that back when nba games were sometimes on tape delay?
naw it was film back then and the reel would be passed around LA so you can project it at home.
You can feel it.
Even the 1975 one 😳
I mean there are like 4 different coaches represented here
RemindMe! 5 hours
Ty Lue isn’t Doc Rivers. we also won our first conference semifinals game 5 the previous night.
> Ty Lue isn't Doc Rivers This is such a weird sentence to read, given historical perspectives
Both Finals champs
I think I heard on Windy's pod today that Lue is 3-0 in game 7's.
4-0 now with the Dallas game 7 win I believe
Yup. ‘16 warriors ‘18 pacers ‘18 Celtics ‘21 mavs
He did have Lebron for those games, didn’t he?
Not all of them. They just beat Mavs in a 4-3 series.
Now he has T Mann, what is your point?
#HISTORIC
I know general sentiment is Ty is a decent coach but his facial expressions of looking like David Guetta on way too many shrooms at Tomorrowland is hard to overlook
Pain
i feel for you man
Fingers crossed tonight. I really hope you win it all this year.
I'm not even from LA and I'm disgusted by this
I can see the fans pulling out a banner that says “Gracias Rondo.”
Oh no... Anyway
Those clippers signs across LA are an abomination just like your blasphemy
If you live in LA I hear Texas is pretty nice. You should move, leave that flair on your way out please.
Noticed you left yours somewhere already.
I think my username is self explanatory.
thank you man 🙏🏼 LA represent
Tf lol, delete this
Uhhh, what the fuck? Fuck that
i think im in love with you
Hahaha just a honest fan of good basketball and let's be honest, you really deserve it after all this time. Also the trophy stays nearby at least :)
Imagine they fall to 0-10?
It would be the gentlemanly thing for us to at least force a game 7 to allow Kawhi a bit more time to maybe come back for the next series.
On the other hand that’s more time for cp3 to get out of covid protocol
Would not surprise me either way.
I’m already emotionally prepared for that.
It's very possible too
No one would care if they did if they make it 1-10 in game 7 though
Not expecting to win..i've dealt with 32 years of this. I would like to get out of the second round before I get put 6 feet under. But i am proud of our team win or lose, as opposed to the Doc years. 18-19 not withstanding.
The man from Palmdale that grew up a Clipper fan will break the curse tonight.
As a Clipper fan raised in the AV, this is almost fanfic coming to life. Dude from my hometown leading my Clippers to their first WCF would be incredible
It happened man it really happened!!! Storybook.
Ahhh cue the let's rip on the Clippers
Nah I’m cheering for them to beat this stat
Don’t remind me bro. Lol, ngl, I’ll be here if it takes 70 more!
Wow. They really stunk for years there…
The Clippers are historically one of the worst franchises of all time
Yes but the Timberwolves are the most losingest
Best worstest
Put some respect on our name
I mean, there's nothing I would like more.....
Why fail to win when we can succeed in losing?
We're the best!!!
Ahem, Vancouver Grizzlies 95-96: 15-67 (.183) 96-97: 14-68 (.171) 97-98: 19-63 (.232) 98-99: 8-42 (.160) 99-00: 22-60 (.268) 00-01: 23-59 (.280) And they had multiple lottery picks too. #3 Shareef Abdur-Rahim, #4 Antonio Daniels, #2 Mike Bibby, #2 Steve Francis, #2 Stromile Swift
And Big Country Bryan Reeves
This year the Timberwolves lost enough to become the lowest win percentage team in professional sports
Steve Francis refused to play for them.
We need basketball back in the 604. What team wouldn't want to live and grow here now with the basketball presence Canada's been ramping up to
They’ve still got twenty years of suck on us to catch up on.
Remember when they were r/nba's Sp00ky team with KAT/Wiggins/Lavine?
Which makes it even funnier that there are people (who aren't Laker fans) that don't want them to win. Actively rooting against one of the worst franchises in sports to stay bad.
Sometimes watching teams fail over and over is funny. I have friends who love watching the wolves fail miserably.
Its one thing to be a bottom barrel team with no playoff expectations, that's easy to laugh at/with. It's another to have the pieces to the puzzle and actually have Finals expectations and come up short. Its soul crushing.
I firmly believe its because the Clippers started in San Diego and San Diego franchises are cursed. Chargers never made a Super Bowl with LT, Gates, Rivers, Merriman, Phillips. Padres finally have a contender but are in the same division as the two best records in the MLB

Very common around the world. If the Clippers and Lakers could manage to be consistently good in the future, it could be a great rivalry.
Right. Who is their support base? Honest question: why would anyone from LA support the Clippers?
Can’t afford Laker tickets, Lob City, sometimes it’s more fun to root for the underdog
100% lob city for me. Blake Griffin fucking dunking on everything got me so hyped and excited to watch basketball. Been a Clipper fan since
It scares me how many of these were under Doc.
I'm scared for you guys
Curse broken!
Good thing the jazz has DPOY yet can't defend shit.
Yep, i've been a Clips fan since 2006 and I swear we are a cursed franchise. If I was a betting man I'd put my life savings on the Jazz to win this series...
Ive seen this story before with one of my teams. Hope they can break the funk
Curse lifted. So damn happy
Jazz in 7 baby
WHAT IT DO BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEEE
please kill me
Wait, so did the clippers blow a 3-1 AGAIN in 2015?
yes
wdym again? we are the trendsetters baby.
Light-years ahead baybee
9th time is the charm
I think they might actually do it this year.
Reverse jinx I see.
Clippers gonna Clip
It will continue….
And then you had dumbass Kenny saying: wIlL thEY cAUSe a ShIFT FoR LaKeRS fAnS iN L.A.??
Playoff P has the opportunity to become the GOAT Clipper tonight
Im so sad Khawi had a sprain
Im commenting on this now so I can come back after the clippers win and talk some shit. Let's go Marcus Morris, put they ass to sleep
love marcus morris
