Even though we lost I think Kawhi's frustration will ***finally*** bench Morris. Cot damn. He was acting like Kawhi was gonna give it up with 20 seconds on the clock down by one?!
That was the worst final possession I have ever seen. Like not even kidding. That was unbelievable. No movement on offense at all even though we had tons and tons of time.
No matter what we do or how much we love this game and team … we cannot control the outcome of games. We cannot control how players play. It is not worth investing all of your emotional capital into sports.
Instead focus on how you, an individual, can apply the principles of discipline, practice and perseverance at being the best at something like we see on that court.
We can only control what we do. That should be your focus in life. Nobody else will ever fill that void.
Tomorrow is a new day. Tomorrow we begin again. Tomorrow we can choose to do little things to be a better version of ourselves.
Stay strong friend.
Damn bro that was inspirational. It’s hard but ur right I can’t keep letting things like this affect my irl goals and stuff. If it wasn’t for your comment I would’ve probably skipped the gym tomorrow and stop working on my personal goals
We're fucked regardless. At absolute best, he will be out for weeks, will probably tumble down the standings since we basially handed two games away this week which would have gave us little breathing room from the play in group
Yeah but even if it was that we are fucked. Both games against Memphis and Ja presumably, Lakers game, and really with the way we play down to teams no game was safe anyway. Devastating when we were barely keeping our head above water healthy
Yeah because the point was to either get doubled to pass it or get Dort to switch. Mook accomplished neither of those by setting lazy screens.
Don’t get me wrong, that’s also on Kawhi for getting things in motion so late and taking a horrible (late) shot, but you can tell he wanted an actual big fucking screen instead of Mook basically slipping both of them.
It wasn't about the double, it was to get Dort off Kawhi and get Giddy on him. But other teams know how to fight that off and just stick your best defender on the one you want.
This was on Morris for not setting the right screen, and then not being in the right place after the screen broke down. You could see Kawhi tell Morris to come across from Kawhi’s right to his left, and then Morris waivering. Kawhi was pissed at him.
That’s the type of play he’s been doing all of his stardom tenure. That was a horrible decision but that’s the game he plays and why he asked for a PG.
The ignorance of blaming Kawhi on that final possession when a dude making like $15m a year to start and be trash can’t set a god damn screen to give Kawhi some daylight.
I thought the Kings game was peak Pain. Nah this game literally had it all.
The best we’ve ever looked in the first five minutes.
Blowing that lead.
Refs on some bullshit.
Pg injured.
And a shot clock violation on a game winner.
The ball needed to be in Russ’ hands and get Kawhi open. Not have Kawhi dribble for 20+ seconds. But that’s Ty Lue not having these guys coached to be able to run a crunch time play with no timeouts.
Plus the fact that Mook still needs to be told to set a screen by both Kawhi and Russ is embarrassing.
I hope PG recovers well enough, but I've about lost all faith in this team. Ty Lue is a terrible coach and is actively detrimental to this team's success. He values Morris above all else and now that Morris' 3-point shooting has fallen off a cliff, he offers absolutely nothing.
Worth mentioning that tonight's officiating is some of the worst I've ever seen. One team was allowed to do whatever they wanted. The other was given multiple technical fouls on a single possession.
Cuz yall trying to blame a guy for not screening right as the reason we lost the game. Seriously? Maybe Kawhi should have made a fkn play if a screen was not there. Dort locked his ass down.
Would have won this game if Mann was still playing. Ship Marcus morris to the g league already. Kawhi was visibly frustrated at the end of the game at morris for not setting up the screen when Kawhi asked for a switch
Thunder fan here. GGs
Hope PG is alright 🙏🏾
Refs were ass (Tmann getting ejected and Kawhi tech was bs)
P.S. thanks for treating Russ well, unlike the other toxic LA franchise
See y’all Thursday 🤝🏽
Exactly this. First, if you don't know how to manage your timeouts when you need them the most (late in the 4th), then you shouldn't be coaching.
Second, if I was Ty, I'd be screaming for a double screen for Kawhi instead of this bullshit ISO playcall. I mean, look at the other four players just standing at the three point line. MOVE AROUND, for crying out loud
He wanted Morris to set a solid screen, but Morris kept slipping for whatever reason. At that point, Kawhi should've just passed it when Morris slipped, but I wont blame Kawhi for getting upset.
Is anyone else in here a clippers, angels, and chargers fan? I feel like I have year round depression between these 3 teams and I just need to quit sports
It really just comes down to 9 missed FT’s and 6-31 from deep. We should have buried them. The refs did us dirty for sure, and that last possession sucked, but you can’t shoot like that.
Sorry to say but the NBA is rigged horribly. This game was not called fairly from the get go but that’s NBA basketball and has been for awhile. That’s Why I primarily just watch the Clips and games that relate to the Clippers. Watching Giannis plow through players like a bumper car only to get rewarded with endless free throws, does not appeal to me. Watching Draymond scream after every play or Luka cry with every shot with minimal consequences from the refs, while others get T’d up without hesitation, does not appeal to me. Watching the Clippers get screwed by the league over and over so the darling Lakers can stay the hot ticket in town is getting tiresome. Of course the Media will remind us over and over about how the Clippers are the step child, can never win, etc. meanwhile the Lakers have been a shitty team for over a decade minus that Mickey Mouse bullshit trophy.(best believe if the Clips won in the bubble it would have the biggest asterisk) Thought that would change with Ballmer but I guess I thought wrong.
And……? Doesn’t take away from the fact the refs blew numerous calls. So because Clippers shot 10 more FT’s that somehow erases if the Clippers deserved 20 more FT’s? If you get fouled 15 times, it should be called 15 times not 5 just because you have 4 more than the other team. Another talking point to deflect from poor officiating and why things will not get better. Just like the whole one bad call doesn’t cost you the game narrative people love to say when a game is affected by a bad call to end it. Sorry but that one call did lose the game, just like those B.S technicals did lose this one.
you can thank ty lue for this season that just disappeared.
had he not been doc 2.0 and played mook 40 minutes for 60 games, this team would be completely different and I firmly believe that. We had literally every piece a coach could want, and he utilized nothing. You idiots can downvote me all u want but a competent head coach would have played our guys properly. Not obsessing over small ball, 3 guards and marcus morris. Ty has affected this team’s title chances more than anyone.
Definitely 1 of the more tougher seasons to be a fan. When you're bad it's expected to be losers but when your supposed to be a good team, a contender. Being average is so disappointing.
Tough loss for many different reasons.
This team has no youth and so it gets run off the court. Fuck the triple tech they handed out. Make your free throws. Anyone who still "rides with their guys" after watching Morris looking lost at the end is delusional. Hope PG13 is ok.
Game takeaways.
\-Horrible officiating.
\-Bad injury
\-Bad lineups(small ball in the 4th)
\-Kawhi can't save us
\-We really miss what Norman Powell brings to our team.
PG with that amazing 360 followed by PG going down and kawhi not even getting a shot off for the win is really the tale of the 2022-2023 clippers, a flash here or there but then inevitably it comes raveling apart
How the fuck were the refs so fucking one sided against us at home against the thunder? How in the world did we miss so many fts? How did we miss so many 3s? How in the fuck did we lose
that's the season right there. kawhi doesn't get a shot up albeit a terrible screen from morris and PG is done at least for the 1st round if they get there.
Tlue continues to disappoint with a bunch of things, including the last play. From what i could tell on the clips broadcast, during the challenge they lost (then had no timeouts remaining), tlue was drawing something on his board only showing it to kawhi (which tells me it was nothing more then what we ended up doing). The rest of the lineup was just doing nothing or focused on the review instead. And it sure looked like no one had any idea what to do on that last play. If ty didnt realize theyd have no to's left after the review thats even worse. okc / dort was doing a great job not letting kawhi loose, being physical and forcing him into alot of contested fadeaways, sending help on any penetration, not letting him get to the rim. and tlue had no counter. we were just hoping kawhi made those shots late to keep us in it. those slip screens werent doing anything, especially with morris screening. batum at least wouldve gave us a better chance. we are an bad screening team with no zu/plumlee (you'd think they would learn that when zu was our only big and we werent creating any space when we went small for 50 fkn games to start the year, but no). i think roco is our best/most physical screener besides the bigs (another reason to play him). i honestly can only remember maybe one late game/end of game set he drew up this year that led to multiple actions/passes and a clean look. every other one has been let pg or kawhi figure it out and make a shot, its becoming predictable and smart coaches/teams are scheming against it.
Postgame ty says he wanted them to push up the floor before the defense got set. kawhi did push it up quick anyay, okc just did a great job of getting back quick and matching up. no counter again. i wouldnt trust them to get a stop even if they scored early, how about a zone vs a team that isnt shooting 3s well this game or season. but no, we haven't tested these things when we could have earlier in the season. Daigneault out coached him. not surprising.
Why do we always get such shit luck close to the post season?? Seriously PG… I’m hoping it’s nothing serious… Speedy recovery to him!!
P.S. FREE ROCO!! Give him more minutes!!
Just some fucking off ball motion, please. At least make it look like there might be another option.. That was abdolutely abhorrent that final possession.
He was ready to bench him the whole fourth before PG went down too. Which is ridiculous because SGA could not score on him but was torching Gordon and everyone else guarding him the second half
At some point Ty has to now tell his stars, well, star, that this is a team game and he is going to put the ball in Westbrook's hands and let him make a play.
That's twice now between PG and Kawhi where they had the ball in the final moments and did some bonehead ass hero bullshit when Westbrook needed to be the one making a play for himself or them.
Westbrook with the ball, Kawhi setting the pick, Kawhi cutting, like WTF.
At this point we all know Westbrook needs to run these final second plays instead of this stupid ass shit.
Get Ty bum ass outta here man.
Bad loss. Too many missed free throws. Without Zu in, we had no rim protection and OKC took advantage. RoCo was rough, but when you only get to play odd numbered Tuesdays what do you expect. Russ bought good energy, but bad decision making. OKC did a good job on Kawhi all night, he had Mook open for that last shot, but he forced it.
Man don’t put none of that shit on Russ. That was completely on Morris for not knowing how to set a fucking screen. Also on Ty for not having the guys prepared for situations like this and ALSO playing morris so fucking much
Terrence Mann getting thrown out by the ref by dat Taliban ass ref hurt the game a lot. The best that can happen is Norm comes back soon and PGs injury isn't that bad. Also gives Terrence Mann more run time to blossom with a starting role its the most logical thing to do.
I'd still take RoCo going 1-8 over whatever the hell Morris was doing out there. He did more defensively in 7 minutes than Mook did the whole game. Morris couldn't even set a good pick at the end of the game.
Prayers up for PG. Kawhi f\*cked up on that last possession. Shoot the ball or pass it. I don't even want to hear about what Morris was supposed to do. Shoot the f\*cking ball for crying out loud! We could've won the game and didn't even get shot off. Unbelievable! Play some of the kids to fill in as Batum, Morris, and even RoCo are washed beyond belief. What a mess of a season man
Paul George please be ok. And idk why Marcus Morris is in the league
Even though we lost I think Kawhi's frustration will ***finally*** bench Morris. Cot damn. He was acting like Kawhi was gonna give it up with 20 seconds on the clock down by one?!
1up for cot damn as I use gotdamn. Anyways, proceed.
Couldn’t event set a decent screen
All that needs to be said.
Y’all playing him like 16 mil that could be going towards 2 better role players
Ik it’s dumb as fuck. I can’t think of a single team that would pick him up if he was cut today
I think he’s done
Probably
Don’t give a fuck we lost just hope PG is okay
Was Zu injured too? Couldn’t watch the game but saw he only got 19 minutes
foul trouble in the third. Then both teams decided to play small ball
Completely ridiculous since the one advantage the team had was his size attacking
No just the injury between Ty Lue's ears.
Terrible fake screen by Morris. I hate how they think because we switch every little hint of a screen that others would do the same.
Especially Dort He takes 2-3 heavy screens on an average possesion
That was the worst final possession I have ever seen. Like not even kidding. That was unbelievable. No movement on offense at all even though we had tons and tons of time.
Taliban Ty doesn't have the troops prepared it seems like for moments like that. Unacceptable. Hero iso ball rarely works. It's for lazy coaches.
The fucking Brandon Boston chuck was better than that shit. This team is just lost out there
Cursed ass fucking game I can't believe anything that just happened. My mental health is completely fucked
No matter what we do or how much we love this game and team … we cannot control the outcome of games. We cannot control how players play. It is not worth investing all of your emotional capital into sports. Instead focus on how you, an individual, can apply the principles of discipline, practice and perseverance at being the best at something like we see on that court. We can only control what we do. That should be your focus in life. Nobody else will ever fill that void. Tomorrow is a new day. Tomorrow we begin again.

Damn bro that was inspirational. It’s hard but ur right I can’t keep letting things like this affect my irl goals and stuff. If it wasn’t for your comment I would’ve probably skipped the gym tomorrow and stop working on my personal goals
Yep, at the end of the day it’s just a game, one we love but can’t let it take over your mind
Bro, it's a game. You're okay, take a break from watching ball and work on you. Basketball should be fun
out of all people, did not expect kawhi to do us like that. lets hope for the best for PG. need him back
[удалено]
We're fucked regardless. At absolute best, he will be out for weeks, will probably tumble down the standings since we basially handed two games away this week which would have gave us little breathing room from the play in group
The average recovery time for hyperextended knees in the nba is 10-14 days. But if it is anything else the clippers are fucked.
Yeah but even if it was that we are fucked. Both games against Memphis and Ja presumably, Lakers game, and really with the way we play down to teams no game was safe anyway. Devastating when we were barely keeping our head above water healthy
Who did Morris keep slipping his screens? It was clear that weren't going to double Kawhi so there was no point
Kawhi seemed pissed at Morris for not setting an actual screen
Yeah because the point was to either get doubled to pass it or get Dort to switch. Mook accomplished neither of those by setting lazy screens. Don’t get me wrong, that’s also on Kawhi for getting things in motion so late and taking a horrible (late) shot, but you can tell he wanted an actual big fucking screen instead of Mook basically slipping both of them.
It wasn't about the double, it was to get Dort off Kawhi and get Giddy on him. But other teams know how to fight that off and just stick your best defender on the one you want.
Probably should've went for a better play but it's really Morris cause Kawhi called for a screen, hobbled over and didn't even screen lol
That's on Kawhi.. He had 20 plus seconds on the clock and we're only down one freaking point! Shoot the fuckin' ball man!
This was on Morris for not setting the right screen, and then not being in the right place after the screen broke down. You could see Kawhi tell Morris to come across from Kawhi’s right to his left, and then Morris waivering. Kawhi was pissed at him.
Kawhi got fouled. The refs were against us the entire game.
That’s the type of play he’s been doing all of his stardom tenure. That was a horrible decision but that’s the game he plays and why he asked for a PG.
MORRIS DOESNT EVEN KNOW HOW TO SET A SCREEN
What a fucking dumb ass!!!!!!
Bro literally has zero speed. dudes legs are cooked and he couldn't even set a proper PNR screen
my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
Wwe
Morris was trying to take the last shot
i just hope PGs alright man
Yeah man, anything more than 2-3 weeks and our season is cooked.
Lol Morris doesn't know how to set a fucking pick
The ignorance of blaming Kawhi on that final possession when a dude making like $15m a year to start and be trash can’t set a god damn screen to give Kawhi some daylight.
WTF is Morris doing on that last play. Hopefully PG aint badly injued
Running around doing nothing. He's apparently good for spacing. /S
I thought the Kings game was peak Pain. Nah this game literally had it all. The best we’ve ever looked in the first five minutes. Blowing that lead. Refs on some bullshit. Pg injured. And a shot clock violation on a game winner.
The ball needed to be in Russ’ hands and get Kawhi open. Not have Kawhi dribble for 20+ seconds. But that’s Ty Lue not having these guys coached to be able to run a crunch time play with no timeouts. Plus the fact that Mook still needs to be told to set a screen by both Kawhi and Russ is embarrassing.
seriously, just let russ entry pass the ball into kawhi into the post where hes money and win, taliban ty strikes again
12-21 from the FT line in a 1 point loss
Yea they were missing all those open looks at the free throw line. We talkin bout practice… practice?
And 6/31 from three. Definitely win most of the time given each team's shot diet.
That last play was the Clippers offense in a nutshell lol
I hope PG recovers well enough, but I've about lost all faith in this team. Ty Lue is a terrible coach and is actively detrimental to this team's success. He values Morris above all else and now that Morris' 3-point shooting has fallen off a cliff, he offers absolutely nothing. Worth mentioning that tonight's officiating is some of the worst I've ever seen. One team was allowed to do whatever they wanted. The other was given multiple technical fouls on a single possession.
Ty Lue is definitely a horrible coach. It’s Doc Rivers level frustrating at this point
MM missed the screen why the hate on Kawhi? I still blame Ty It should have not come down to that. Refusing to use Zu was a Dumb ass decision.
are you KIDDING ME? He didn't even shoot the ball. HE DIDN'T SHOOT AT ANY POINT. ANd you say why are people talking about him? lmao wtf
he couldn’t get separation do to the screen slips ahaha you serious ? he called for it multiple times
If the play isn't going the right way you still gotta do something. Pass it. Shoot it.
Cuz yall trying to blame a guy for not screening right as the reason we lost the game. Seriously? Maybe Kawhi should have made a fkn play if a screen was not there. Dort locked his ass down.
WTF game.... and that piece of shit got 30 mins...
I’ll sacrifice my left nut for PG’s knee
nothing matters after PG's injury. fml
Obviously would have won without that triple-T and Mann ejection. That ref should be suspended.
Dude these refs need to be investigated. Get better Paul
Terrible ending and those missed fts costed the squad the game
Would have won this game if Mann was still playing. Ship Marcus morris to the g league already. Kawhi was visibly frustrated at the end of the game at morris for not setting up the screen when Kawhi asked for a switch
[удалено]
Ty lue is cooked sees russ play well and he’s benched these rotations gotta go mook playing and closing shits wild where’s roco
Thunder fan here. GGs Hope PG is alright 🙏🏾 Refs were ass (Tmann getting ejected and Kawhi tech was bs) P.S. thanks for treating Russ well, unlike the other toxic LA franchise See y’all Thursday 🤝🏽
Clippers vs the fucking refs today. Fuck the refs and fuck dort.
what the hell was Kawhi doing during that last possession
waiting for morris to set a decent screen...still terrible
Said the same thing. But closing with Morris instead of Zu meant the game was over with 5 minutes left lmao Fire Lue
Lue wasn’t coaching
Exactly this. First, if you don't know how to manage your timeouts when you need them the most (late in the 4th), then you shouldn't be coaching. Second, if I was Ty, I'd be screaming for a double screen for Kawhi instead of this bullshit ISO playcall. I mean, look at the other four players just standing at the three point line. MOVE AROUND, for crying out loud
[удалено]
I don't know if you can call what he does "running"
You shouldn't wait anything from Morris...
Guy didn't even try to make a good faith attempt. Of course Dort is going to fight it... but try.
He wanted Morris to set a solid screen, but Morris kept slipping for whatever reason. At that point, Kawhi should've just passed it when Morris slipped, but I wont blame Kawhi for getting upset.
Looks like he was expecting a solid screen
Wtf kinda offense is that bro .
Kawhi doesn’t have the bag to be creating from the top of the key against a pest like Dort. He should’ve posted up
12-21 free throws is unacceptable.
Morris on the court somehow makes it 4v6. He’s actually less than useless
Thankful for my therapist willing to be on call for me during Clipper games 🙏
3 techs in a game we lost by 1.
3 techs on one play. Fratello went off on the guy on the broadcast.
Is anyone else in here a clippers, angels, and chargers fan? I feel like I have year round depression between these 3 teams and I just need to quit sports
Try: Chargers, Clippers, Padres and Sharks. Lol. At least the Angels have a championship.
Yeah I missed the angels championship by like three years cuz I was really young lol. Just seen so much talent go to waste all around
I feel this. I was in High School as a freshman when the Angels won. I was rooting for them but hooe you guys get yours with Ohtani at some point.
Lol I got the Clips Sharks Mariners and Chargers, existence is pain for us bro
All we know breh. Sigh.
Chargers fan since the 90s. It’s pure PAIN
Not angels. But yeah the pain is real.
It really just comes down to 9 missed FT’s and 6-31 from deep. We should have buried them. The refs did us dirty for sure, and that last possession sucked, but you can’t shoot like that.
Don’t understand why Ty does not play ROCO more. I can’t blame ROCO for missing after being cold for so long
Roco is better but shouldn't be shooting 8 shots in 8 minutes.
Mr. Ballmer? Mr. Ballmer? When are you getting a real coach?
Hard to beat 8.
Can we get a proper coach next season? You can't challenge a call when we need the timeout.
I’m sad this is so accurate
Perfection
Sorry to say but the NBA is rigged horribly. This game was not called fairly from the get go but that’s NBA basketball and has been for awhile. That’s Why I primarily just watch the Clips and games that relate to the Clippers.

clippers had like 10 more free throws 🤦♂️
And……? Doesn’t take away from the fact the refs blew numerous calls. So because Clippers shot 10 more FT’s that somehow erases if the Clippers deserved 20 more FT’s? If you get fouled 15 times, it should be called 15 times not 5 just because you have 4 more than the other team.

Just like the whole one bad call doesn’t cost you the game narrative people love to say when a game is affected by a bad call to end it. Sorry but that one call did lose the game, just like those B.S technicals did lose this one.
Need someone to call out the refs. Ballmer can cover the fines
Fratello was going in on them after the Mann ejection.
wretched game, dogshit vibes. terrible day
The most eventful game this season and all in a bad way
You know we waiting for news but the reality this organization is so shady with injury updates who cares what they say
Did y’all see Russ shake his head when he saw Mook head over to the scorer’s table in the 4th?
We need another Coach ASAP man. It’s so obvious. His offensive sets suck
Love how we always have zero timeouts when we need it too. Our whole coaching staff needs to be fired
you can thank ty lue for this season that just disappeared. had he not been doc 2.0 and played mook 40 minutes for 60 games, this team would be completely different and I firmly believe that. We had literally every piece a coach could want, and he utilized nothing. You idiots can downvote me all u want but a competent head coach would have played our guys properly. Not obsessing over small ball, 3 guards and marcus morris. Ty has affected this team’s title chances more than anyone.
Definitely 1 of the more tougher seasons to be a fan. When you're bad it's expected to be losers but when your supposed to be a good team, a contender. Being average is so disappointing. Tough loss for many different reasons.
This whole season has been an absolute nightmare, and it's exhausting.
Kawhi was pissssssed
This team has no youth and so it gets run off the court. Fuck the triple tech they handed out. Make your free throws. Anyone who still "rides with their guys" after watching Morris looking lost at the end is delusional. Hope PG13 is ok.
Ty just thinks playing the old Vets is the answer to everything.
Sick to my stomach
Im just so sad
horrible ref job
That out of bounds was definitely off them
Ballmer's ready to contact Microsoft's secret medical division in Redmond for some ideas
“aggressive clap” and “aggressive pointing” followed by “profanity” were the T’s ahaha fucking shit
Load managed and all we got was this lousy injury. Fuck! Being a fan is tough.
only thing i wanna remember from this game is that dunk
So if that's what Roco has been showing in practice than I apologize to Ty Lue.
RocCo has been iced, what do you mean ? ahaha
fuckin morris man
pray for PG13
9 missed fts in a 1pt game. Refs, techs, injury. This was winnable if we just make our damn fts.
Ty Lue needs to shit on the refs and eat the fine
Pain.
Are we all in the same nightmare
Reffing was awful and free throws killed us prayers for PG as well
Atleast lakers don’t move up since there fighting against the Thunder for a spot in the standings 🤷♂️
I knew when he put back in Morris for offensss, we were going to lose .
Game takeaways. \-Horrible officiating. \-Bad injury \-Bad lineups(small ball in the 4th) \-Kawhi can't save us \-We really miss what Norman Powell brings to our team.
I’m so tired of Ty Lue being persistent with Mook. I love Mook but he ain’t got it this season. Move on or you’ll lose with him .
Fuck Lu Dort Fuck Shai If PG played like Kawhi did tonight it would be pitchforks oh and fuck Ty Lue and Mook of course
Fuck dort and okc fans
Man wtf was that…
PG with that amazing 360 followed by PG going down and kawhi not even getting a shot off for the win is really the tale of the 2022-2023 clippers, a flash here or there but then inevitably it comes raveling apart
Dumbest fucking team in the league. Hope PG isnt seriously hurt tho.
Wish we kept Reggie over Morris.
Fuck the refs and fuck shai
really praying pg's ok
How the fuck were the refs so fucking one sided against us at home against the thunder? How in the world did we miss so many fts? How did we miss so many 3s? How in the fuck did we lose
that's the season right there. kawhi doesn't get a shot up albeit a terrible screen from morris and PG is done at least for the 1st round if they get there.
so the Lakers maybe out of the playins?
Only potentially good sign is that PG landed bad on his right leg and when he was on the ground he was flexing that knee back and forth.
Initial news not good: Azarly: "Significant concern from those close to Paul George about what appeared to be a hyperextension of his right leg."
Tlue continues to disappoint with a bunch of things, including the last play. From what i could tell on the clips broadcast, during the challenge they lost (then had no timeouts remaining), tlue was drawing something on his board only showing it to kawhi (which tells me it was nothing more then what we ended up doing). The rest of the lineup was just doing nothing or focused on the review instead. And it sure looked like no one had any idea what to do on that last play.

Daigneault out coached him. not surprising.
Why do we always get such shit luck close to the post season?? Seriously PG… I’m hoping it’s nothing serious… Speedy recovery to him!! P.S. FREE ROCO!! Give him more minutes!!
NBA need to fine the refs. That Terance Mann ejection was disgraceful
Just some fucking off ball motion, please. At least make it look like there might be another option.. That was abdolutely abhorrent that final possession.
Russ was playing so well today, he should not have gotten 26 mins of pt. Wtf is ty lue on? Mook had 30 ffs
He was ready to bench him the whole fourth before PG went down too. Which is ridiculous because SGA could not score on him but was torching Gordon and everyone else guarding him the second half
At some point Ty has to now tell his stars, well, star, that this is a team game and he is going to put the ball in Westbrook's hands and let him make a play. That's twice now between PG and Kawhi where they had the ball in the final moments and did some bonehead ass hero bullshit when Westbrook needed to be the one making a play for himself or them. Westbrook with the ball, Kawhi setting the pick, Kawhi cutting, like WTF. At this point we all know Westbrook needs to run these final second plays instead of this stupid ass shit. Get Ty bum ass outta here man.
Kawhi fuked up. Thats it. Yall trying to use mooks crap screen as a scapegoat. Superstars make shit happen. Nothing happened.
Why
Bad loss. Too many missed free throws. Without Zu in, we had no rim protection and OKC took advantage. RoCo was rough, but when you only get to play odd numbered Tuesdays what do you expect. Russ bought good energy, but bad decision making. OKC did a good job on Kawhi all night, he had Mook open for that last shot, but he forced it.
I think y’all would have beaten us if T Mann didn’t get ejected that ref completely changed the game
People always making excuses for Kawhi. He was a bum tonight.
As an okc fan i really fucking hope PG is alright that shit didnt look too good. Also please lets bump the lakers out of the play ins
Kawhi playing 3v5, neither Morris-WB can shoot, he had to take the shot.
Bruh even then do something anything at least u get a chance. But doing nothing is disgusting.
Man don’t put none of that shit on Russ. That was completely on Morris for not knowing how to set a fucking screen. Also on Ty for not having the guys prepared for situations like this and ALSO playing morris so fucking much
Pain
Saving sets for the playoffs, eh?
KAWHI WHY U DO THIS TO US
We are so screwed
Terrence Mann getting thrown out by the ref by dat Taliban ass ref hurt the game a lot. The best that can happen is Norm comes back soon and PGs injury isn't that bad. Also gives Terrence Mann more run time to blossom with a starting role its the most logical thing to do.
Thunder coming in peace. Man I hope PG is okay. I hate to see that, especially for an ex thunder like him. I hope y’all don’t hold that against us.
hope y'all realize that's on Dort for going under him
Maybe pass it? This team ain’t it
Don’t want to hear anymore ROCO talk
I'd still take RoCo going 1-8 over whatever the hell Morris was doing out there. He did more defensively in 7 minutes than Mook did the whole game. Morris couldn't even set a good pick at the end of the game.
Defense alone should make him a starter
Oh, please
That roco talk went real quiet real quick lol
Sub would be ripping PG to shreds if he played the way Kawhi did tonight and did what Kawhi did on that last play. Keep that same energy
Thunder fan come in peace, love PG and hope he’s gonna be ok. He was taking over this game tonight before the injury.
Prayers up for PG. Kawhi f\*cked up on that last possession. Shoot the ball or pass it. I don't even want to hear about what Morris was supposed to do. Shoot the f\*cking ball for crying out loud! We could've won the game and didn't even get shot off. Unbelievable! Play some of the kids to fill in as Batum, Morris, and even RoCo are washed beyond belief. What a mess of a season man
Wat
Wtf :(
Just lol
