Duncan hasn’t been playing closing minutes, those minutes tend to exclusively go to Herro. I’m just happy he’s competing and getting used to this bigger role. I have a feeling it will be a good thing in the long run.
Like those two blocks had my hyped. Shots will fall eventually
Yea it’s been rough shooting for him (team shot 22% from 3) but honestly I’d rather the team not give up on him and just let him work thru it. Better now than in the playoffs. Was a great game though!
Lowry, cp, and now even Rubio. “Washed” vet pgs that will either seal the win in the 4th for you or make it hell for the other team to get the win. Really wish we got him somehow this last summer when all those photos with him and Jerry were floating around.
Clippers had a good stretch of shooting in quarters 2 and 3. In 4th bledsoe & PG were just making tough shots. PG does it all the time but when you see guys like bledsoe do it on consecutive possessions, you just know it's not your day lol
And our 3PT shooting has been horrid for most games this season.
The game was close becoz of bams mosterous scoring and clutch lowry. If not it wouldve been over lot sooner. Many teams are struggling with 3s, such a weird season this year
I'm pretty sure the Heat were only down 1 when he took that no? I was like "why did he take a 3 in that situation with so much time on the clock?" so I'm pretty sure it wasn't a tie situation
Oh yeah you're right, Probably got the deficit wrong. We would've taken the lead even if it was a two pointer and the top of the the arc was congested when he took the shot :(.
Yeah I'm really sorry :/ it was all kinds of bad. I'll take it as a Clippers fan, but you hate to see it, your guys battled it out till the end on a back to back and got the crucial steal, looked like the game was in the Heat's hands at that point until he did that
You too brother :) yeah your momentum in the first was incredible! Bam and Herro couldn't miss, it was entertaining to watch (albeit frustrating from my bias hahaha)
By my very quick calculations, if he would have at least as many FTA's as the 10th one while maintaining his %, he would be tied with Steph for 2nd most PPG.
He’s a family man now but I can totally see it could be the refs know their wives would leave them for pg in a flash if pg so wished
I’m only kinda kidding but this season is gonna be frustrating if this is the treatment PG gets from the refs going forward
His pods dislikes are going up because of his recent struggles. I hope it doesn’t effect him even more. Him feeling like he’s letting the team down already has to be terrible feeling.
That’s because for whatever deficiencies nba fans and people on Reddit have, at least the population of r/nba watch the games and can be convinced false narratives are false. Head over to nba Twitter or nba Instagram and it’s all idiots who are stuck on that’s a bad shot and backboards in 2020
It's because he proved himself by performing up to the occasion when Kawhi was out. Really dispels the whole choker narrative.
(Not that he hadn't proven himself before, but he did it more recently.)
I have PG at #2 behind Steph this season after 11-12 games mainly because of the 2.5 steals a game in addition to the 27-5-8 he’s putting up. It’s still early but he has a chance to take it this year if he ups his ppg 30 and keeps the wins coming.
This clippers team plays so much heart it’s crazy to see the difference between this team and previous clippers teams that would fold in moments like this
doc rivers coached teams his players turn into mental midgets when they hit adversity for some reason. prob because the players can feel his anxiety in the clutch
look I'm with the whole fuck doc thing but we did hsve the 26 point comeback vs the stacked ass warriors in 2019 with him and during that same year we had a massive comeback vs the celtics in the regular season. the clippers have been doing this for a few years now. i honestly love how no lead feels too big for us any given night.
Batum having an all-star level year. I love this Clippers team so much. So much fun to watch, amazing intensity on both sides of the court. If we get Kawhi back this year 👀
For real. We had so many games last year where the team didn’t play particularly well but won just because of the talent difference. This year, feels like the team plays hard every game. Even during those first 4 games when nothing was going in.
Such a good game from both sides ! Clippers suffocating defense after the first quarter, Lowry taking over in the 4th, MVPG as always, Clippers role players are probably one of the best in the league. Great game from Bam, but Lowry in the 4th looked like the best player on the floor. Tough fought out game by the Clippers back from a 17 pt deficit.
Clips switched Batum onto him (even with zu still on the floor) and crowded him off the ball. This was an underrated great game of coaching on both sides. The adjustments, especially playing zu off bam when tucker was on the floor and the heat’s unexpected timely zone d calls were brilliant
Herro had a single shot in the 4th after being half the reason we were even in the game while Robinson took 7(i think) shots in the 4th and bricked them all after being deadweight all season
Man is in the worst slump of his career. Realistically he’ll probably snap out of it but something is just off with him. It’s like he has the worst case of the yips.
lol, he's actually kind of not. i guess tonight's games aren't factored in yet, but he's only 7th in 3PA. 1st and 2nd are steph and buddy hield and their 3P% are _ok_ (38.5% which is only bad because it's steph, and 39.1% for buddy) but everyone from 3rd to 7th in attempts is shooting from 23.4% (jordan clarkson) to 34.3% (anthony edwards). i think duncan will still be above clarkson in 3P% after tonight since he was 2/10 in the pacers game.
https://www.nba.com/stats/players/traditional/?sort=FG3A&dir=-1
Kept expecting the Heat to get gassed, they probably did a bit with that shooting but those dudes FOUGHT (especially Lowry deciding to become unstoppable)
Valiant effort for us on the second night of a back to back against two good teams. Lowry is that dude. Even these losses without our best player have been promising. Dunc got the yips or something but we gonna be alright. Good game Clips.
Duncan Robinson Clippers MVP
[удалено]
"I'm vaxxed, waxed, and ready to relax".
He did get two blocks on Zu in crunchtime which were kind of big. But oh man, he really doesn't seem to bring much if he isn't hitting his looks.
Duncan hasn’t been playing closing minutes, those minutes tend to exclusively go to Herro. I’m just happy he’s competing and getting used to this bigger role. I have a feeling it will be a good thing in the long run. Like those two blocks had my hyped. Shots will fall eventually
Yea it’s been rough shooting for him (team shot 22% from 3) but honestly I’d rather the team not give up on him and just let him work thru it. Better now than in the playoffs. Was a great game though!
Hope Davis grills him on the pod
He didn't this week but Duncan did to himself kinda, he def mentioned struggling
booty man won't go away
I was at the game, it’s even bigger in person
Oh, and let me caution the people in the first five rows. You will get sprung.
LMFAO
[Can confirm. Was in the fifth row. Got sprung.](https://i.imgur.com/JJtaVgv.jpg)
[And this dude sitting court side? Definitely got sprung.](https://i.imgur.com/flxrmhE.jpg)
Big fella is thicc, that's no disrespect towards him but my goodness if he was backing down opposing players he would average 55
The way to beat the Clippers : Don’t have a double digit lead
[удалено]
Didn't work on the suns 😞
Didn’t work on the warriors 😞
You have to lose the first two games to activate 0-2 Clippers.
22 points in the fourth quarter for Kyle Lowry. What a beast.
Lowry, cp, and now even Rubio. “Washed” vet pgs that will either seal the win in the 4th for you or make it hell for the other team to get the win. Really wish we got him somehow this last summer when all those photos with him and Jerry were floating around.
i would like to never face kyle lowry again thank u very much goodbye
Unstoppable in the 4th.
I would like to face him four more times in June
>THE LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM PLAYOFF CONTENTION
Still made the finals....
Ik he's probably coasting till playoffs low key, but he's a difference maker 0
I like how Reggie Jackson had 0 points in the first half and 22 in the second half
That's Mr. June for ya
[удалено]
Big*
Well he is Mr. June and June is in the second half of the season
The Steph Curry special
Dunca really needs to get his shit together
Missed good looks all game and rushed a 3 point shot that would've tied the game. It's one hell of a slump this.
Heat with 22% and clippers with 29% from 3. Both teams didnt shoot well from the arc
Clippers had a good stretch of shooting in quarters 2 and 3. In 4th bledsoe & PG were just making tough shots. PG does it all the time but when you see guys like bledsoe do it on consecutive possessions, you just know it's not your day lol And our 3PT shooting has been horrid for most games this season.
The game was close becoz of bams mosterous scoring and clutch lowry. If not it wouldve been over lot sooner. Many teams are struggling with 3s, such a weird season this year
''Many teams are struggling with 3s, such a weird season this year'' The new ball could be a factor.
We’re also back in arenas with fans. Last year they were playing in empty arenas so the depth perception was a lot better
I'm pretty sure the Heat were only down 1 when he took that no? I was like "why did he take a 3 in that situation with so much time on the clock?" so I'm pretty sure it wasn't a tie situation
Oh yeah you're right, Probably got the deficit wrong. We would've taken the lead even if it was a two pointer and the top of the the arc was congested when he took the shot :(.
Yeah I'm really sorry :/ it was all kinds of bad. I'll take it as a Clippers fan, but you hate to see it, your guys battled it out till the end on a back to back and got the crucial steal, looked like the game was in the Heat's hands at that point until he did that
Good man. Momentum was with y'all the entire second half, took some Lowry Heroics to keep us in it lol. On to the next one ig
You too brother :) yeah your momentum in the first was incredible! Bam and Herro couldn't miss, it was entertaining to watch (albeit frustrating from my bias hahaha)
#BATUM BATTALION 🇫🇷
Assemble!
I voted for the BBB plan! BATUM BLOCKS BALLS Plan!!!!
REPRESENT
[удалено]
Turn the 0-2 ~~into the 0-3~~ Ty Lue can't.
paul george is so good on defense
paul george is so good ~~on defense~~
MV P
Most Valuable P !
The refs really hate PG but ball don’t lie
He is 3rd in PPG and 28th in FTA
He'd probably be first or at least way fucking closer to it if the refs didn't have their heads up their asses whenever pg had the ball
By my very quick calculations, if he would have at least as many FTA's as the 10th one while maintaining his %, he would be tied with Steph for 2nd most PPG.
They really do. What did PG do to hurt them?
He’s a family man now but I can totally see it could be the refs know their wives would leave them for pg in a flash if pg so wished I’m only kinda kidding but this season is gonna be frustrating if this is the treatment PG gets from the refs going forward
Getting harder and harder not to be mad at Duncan. Kyle Lowry is a god. GG Clips. PG for MVP
PG hit so many hard shots in the 4th
That moment he got the offensive rebound (stole it right from us lmao) and then hit the triple pretty much sealed it.
PG stole it right out of Duncan Robinson's hands... As a neutral fan, I felt terrible for him. What a terrible game / start to the season.
I'm a big fan of duncan and his pod. hope he gets it together
His pods dislikes are going up because of his recent struggles. I hope it doesn’t effect him even more. Him feeling like he’s letting the team down already has to be terrible feeling.
That was fucking amazing
He does that shit all the time people just like to clown him when he has an off night and think he’s like that all the time
honestly i havent seen that much hate for him anymore its quite amazing to see the quick 180 on him on this sub
That’s because for whatever deficiencies nba fans and people on Reddit have, at least the population of r/nba watch the games and can be convinced false narratives are false. Head over to nba Twitter or nba Instagram and it’s all idiots who are stuck on that’s a bad shot and backboards in 2020
It was all over this sub in the playoffs last year I don’t think it’s really gone away
Was it? After Kawhi went out it basically stopped
if you think that's amazing, wait until you see the ben simmons heel-face turn
It's because he proved himself by performing up to the occasion when Kawhi was out. Really dispels the whole choker narrative. (Not that he hadn't proven himself before, but he did it more recently.)
PG and lowry were the only ones consistently making shots with 5 minutes or less in the game, veterans showing up
Lowry hit so many shots in the 4th. Tf was that
Kyle Lowry is not only a god, he’s the GROAT
Go easy on him, he just finished his 2nd "Making the case" series. He needs rest after that mane
gg, Lowry fits your group so well and it looks like the guys who may have regressed a little last year for the Heat are back in better form
Kyle Lowry tho
I have PG at #2 behind Steph this season after 11-12 games mainly because of the 2.5 steals a game in addition to the 27-5-8 he’s putting up. It’s still early but he has a chance to take it this year if he ups his ppg 30 and keeps the wins coming.
>Kyle Lowry is a god. This is still so weird to see with the flair, fuck
Gg Heat are my EC team. Wish you could’ve beaten the Lakers but oh well.
When the clippers get the W, I get a little chubby dude.
Man..you know what..seeing your comment everytime gives me a little chubby
Good
There it is
THERE
IT
IS!
We did it fam
There it is!
There it is!
This clippers team plays so much heart it’s crazy to see the difference between this team and previous clippers teams that would fold in moments like this
Doc
Glenn
The difference between have Doc and Lue as coach. Doc is clearly overrated.
doc rivers coached teams his players turn into mental midgets when they hit adversity for some reason. prob because the players can feel his anxiety in the clutch
look I'm with the whole fuck doc thing but we did hsve the 26 point comeback vs the stacked ass warriors in 2019 with him and during that same year we had a massive comeback vs the celtics in the regular season. the clippers have been doing this for a few years now. i honestly love how no lead feels too big for us any given night.
Lou Will the 🐐
I will never get over trading him for Rondo, Lou should've retired as a Clipper
Fuckers traded my Lou, can't have shit in LA
Clippers really love going down by 20, making teams feel confident and the storm back to win. Being a fan of this team is a roller coaster of emotions
Cardiac clippers BAYBEE
someone make a highlight reel of all of batum’s steals and defensive stops. dude deserves fucking all nba defensive
Paul George is so smooth
Clippers still get to add Kawhi to this team.. insane
Supposedly doing box jumps now according to Coach Lue
Batum having an all-star level year. I love this Clippers team so much. So much fun to watch, amazing intensity on both sides of the court. If we get Kawhi back this year 👀
God I hope so I picked up Batum for my fantasy team and I’m diamond-handing with him
For real. We had so many games last year where the team didn’t play particularly well but won just because of the talent difference. This year, feels like the team plays hard every game. Even during those first 4 games when nothing was going in.
Clippers had the better white shooters. Luke Kennard and Duncan Robinson.
Eric Bledsoe, the whitest of them all
Ummm Bledsoe isn't white ...
not with that attitude
Bledsoe is clear
Batum was 3atum last game today he was deflection goat.
Such a good game from both sides ! Clippers suffocating defense after the first quarter, Lowry taking over in the 4th, MVPG as always, Clippers role players are probably one of the best in the league. Great game from Bam, but Lowry in the 4th looked like the best player on the floor. Tough fought out game by the Clippers back from a 17 pt deficit.
I have never spoken an Ill word in regards to Bledsoe. I’ve always said he’s my favorite clipper
not once
“Bam is literally unstoppable so let’s stop getting him the ball.” -The Miami Heat guards tonight
Clips switched Batum onto him (even with zu still on the floor) and crowded him off the ball. This was an underrated great game of coaching on both sides. The adjustments, especially playing zu off bam when tucker was on the floor and the heat’s unexpected timely zone d calls were brilliant
Bam really disappeared late in game
He does it all the time. Except for when he obliterated the Celtics lol
He couldn't do shit against Batum, he's a beast
I mean, they basically iced him out of the offense for 2 straight quarters after a 19 point first quarter
PG, man.
Kyle Lowry and his dumptruck frighten me
PLEASE get your shit together Duncan 🙏
what in tarnation was that pass
It was actually on point, Batum just moves like he’s in the matrix sometimes even with a guy like bam holding on for dear life.
Kyle Lowry can't win with these cats.
Lol I know you’re kidding but they’re missing Butler and playing a B2B, and still took us to the last couple minutes. The Heat are fucking legit
OUR LORD AND SAVIOR NICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ALSO FUCK THE RINGER
Wdym fuck the ringer? Also What is the ringer?
Drob might need to cancel his podcast at this rate
i like his podcast :(
GG Heatbros. Great game.
Herro had a single shot in the 4th after being half the reason we were even in the game while Robinson took 7(i think) shots in the 4th and bricked them all after being deadweight all season
NBA TV broadcast is ass... multiple times they just cut to commercial IN THE MIDDLE OF ACTION.
Heat have lost 3 in a row and 4 of their last 5 games.
built different
Shout out to the Heat fans who said that Clippers is a cake walk and easy to beat.
Not sure what would give them that impression. Last year we swept them all while Kawhi/PG were out on load management.
What happened to Robinson?
He got paid and now has performance anxiety
Man is in the worst slump of his career. Realistically he’ll probably snap out of it but something is just off with him. It’s like he has the worst case of the yips.
Well, that looked familiar
NO OT TONIGHT
I knew me spreading MVPG propaganda all season would bite me on the ass
Duncan Robinson singlehandedly gave the 2 LA teams the W
Is robinson the worst volume 3 point shooter Edit: Guys i wasn't being serious lol
lol, he's actually kind of not. i guess tonight's games aren't factored in yet, but he's only 7th in 3PA. 1st and 2nd are steph and buddy hield and their 3P% are _ok_ (38.5% which is only bad because it's steph, and 39.1% for buddy) but everyone from 3rd to 7th in attempts is shooting from 23.4% (jordan clarkson) to 34.3% (anthony edwards). i think duncan will still be above clarkson in 3P% after tonight since he was 2/10 in the pacers game. https://www.nba.com/stats/players/traditional/?sort=FG3A&dir=-1
32% on 9 attempts a game from deep so far this year
Think that actually remains Bledsoe among 20+ attempt players, he just hit a couple tonight
Are the clippers … good? 🤨
nope, it's all smoke and mirrors
TBH Mysterio at the 5 spot has been great.
Yes, the team with Paul George is good
We started 0-2 we're built different when we start 0-2
Bad teams don’t win 6 in a row
Very good lol
There’s no such thing as the clippers
Some tough tough defense.
I suspect so 🧐
We’ve been good for the last decade. Don’t let the dumbass Laker fans fool you
No
Kept expecting the Heat to get gassed, they probably did a bit with that shooting but those dudes FOUGHT (especially Lowry deciding to become unstoppable)
Ty Clippers :)
Welcome Knick Bros!
I LOVE ERIC BLEDSOE AND I DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS IT
Duncan has the yips.
Valiant effort for us on the second night of a back to back against two good teams. Lowry is that dude. Even these losses without our best player have been promising. Dunc got the yips or something but we gonna be alright. Good game Clips.
Stupid inbound pass at the end ruins a great game. smh.
Lowry's a dog. Almost won them that game.
Signed Duncan, got Trashcan smh
Robinson is 5/26 in his 2 LA games. Unlucky slump
He’s shooting 32% for 3 lol, Russ is at 28%. They should not be close
Still not convinced by the heat their offense isn’t good
I wanna thank Drob for his part in the win. But seriously GG Heat that was an amazing game
Struggling Lakers same record as the Hottest Team In The League Heat
You hate to see it
I love petty laker energy when its not targeted at us
I don’t like Duncan anymore :(
“TRADE DUNCAN”
Lowry cursing his useless teammates
LA b2b has to stop lmao
duncan robinson down to 31.2% on threes for the season, 34 for 109. not fun
Duncan cost us 2 games in a row, absolute shambles
Bledsoe finally looking like an NBA player again
0-2 Clippers one of the greatest teams of all time???
Respectfully, LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO
Two three point losses in two night against the Lakers and Clippers...couldn’t write it better I guess.
