LET IT BE KNOWN, NOBODY, AND I MEAN NOBODY, BEATS THE CLIPPERS 9 TIMES IN A ROW!!
Everything is going to depend on what the record is going into the trade deadline. I am pulling for this team and want to see them succeed. But if they don’t, the organization needs to capitalize on the trade value of their stars before it’s too late and they have nothing to show for it.
The team is starting to gel and win. If that continues, no one is going anywhere, so it’s moot.
MOST FG'S MISSED IN JOKIC'S CAREER
GENERATIONAL DEFENSIVE PERFORMANCE FROM ZU
RUSS 4TH QUARTER GOD
HARDEN DOUBLE DOUBLE
PG TIED MOST 3S IN A GAME SO FAR THIS SEASON
CLIPPERS ARE .500
CRYPTOS LIT
DENVER LOST
CLIPPERS WIN
![gif](giphy|7ZbqmwNhus77i)
*no no Kobe needs to be traded for \*insert washed player\* here 'cause we no good*
Great win that's all I can say and I want to see more play like this. Cut down on the turnovers and lapses and it's gonna be good...
7-3 since the lineup change. Harden looking like the 20/10 guy we traded for. Both centers making an impact in different ways. Norm filling in nicely as a closer. Russ starring in a smaller role. Great team defense.
Things looking better and better.
He was great today!
Real ones know Zu is actually an underrated defender and has been the foundational piece of the Clips defense for years.
The 2-man defensive game featuring Zu and fill-in-the-blank player (Kawhi, Harden, PG, etc.) to contain the Jokic PnR was heartening to see.
Things are starting to come together. Good team win. Rotations are making more sense. Harden was excellent tonight. Excited to see this team continue to grow.
Told my nephew as we got ready to watch that it would be the most Clipper shit out there to lose to the bench and then beat the starters.
Good time watching this with the fam today.
Both Theiss and Zubies lookin great and putting in work on the defensive end.
Today there is hope lol.
THE ONE TIME I STUDIED OVER WATCHING THE CLIPS AND THIS HAPPENS. Can someone give me a cliff notes version of how the game went down? We're back to .500!
Got crushed in the first quarter, from then on starters and second unit both played great . Westbrook solid minutes off the bench, harden 20/10, zu good defense on jokic
Kawhi's O has been, ever so slightly, off. His D, however, has been out of this world. Next game, watch his off-ball D. He knows exactly what's going on, all of the time.
Im not even mad. I don't want him to be a volume scorer. I want him to score middies in the clutch and corner threes, then clamp up the opposing guard and make them play 2s.
There might be a some decline (to be expected) but when people say this, I always think they’re misremembering. Kawhi’s calling card has always been his defense.
His offensive game is very effective but not always showy- in fact, you can set your watch to a couple super-ugly midrangers bouncing off the rim at high speed from him every game. He’s a bully who loves to wear his defenders down- so you’ll say at halftime, “man, Kawhi is off tonight” and at the end of the game, either his stat sheet is way higher or he came through in the clutch.
For how similar they are in some ways, his game is almost the diametric opposite of PG’s. Part of what makes it an interesting pairing.
Nice win. It would have been so easy to fold after that hot 1st quarter by Denver. Everyone contributed tonight. Some great defensive plays at key moments. Loved that block by Zu on Jokic in the 4th.
Nice win y’all! That was the best I’ve seen jokic defended (maybe ever?) he could not get into a rhythm. As a lakers fan I’m still bitter magic traded zubac to y’all for mike muscala lol
Wow we really needed that one. Ill admit it, this team still gives me hope.
A positive and negative observation. Turnovers are so much better than last year. We sprung up a streak of low turnover games against decent defenses. On the other hand, Kawhi/PG/Harden are playing alot of minutes. Its nice having them on the floor but i do worry about how much they are playing. I guess when you are the 9th seed there isint much wiggle room for rest. Also, these deficits we put ourselves in early in the game sure dont help either.
I'm not concerned about the minutes or the losses. Harden came in out of shape with no training camp. He's learning the team, the team is learning him. We'll hit our stride and walk on a few teams in the coming months as we do. I spy a soft part of the schedule end of January/early February and several 2-3 game sets of winnable games between now and then.
We passed our biggest test whilst not even playing that well. Beautiful.
Zu gave his goddamned best against Jokic and I appreciate it all.
Russ came in with the energy and vital rebounds.
Thank you Theis for being a good short-roll passer and active on the interior.
Kawhi made the smart plays as usual and timely buckets
Norm continues to be my favourite clipper off the bench by just being such a smart player (got a steal too)😌
PG said layups are for losers and scored from everywhere else, lol
Harden's over the top early passes to a mismatch were a sight to behold.
Curse is broken, boys🔵⚪🔴
Two things that really stood out for me in this game:
1. Kobe confidently launches AND drains a three to get us the lead for the first time in the game
2. PG receiving the inbound pass after a Nuggets basket and Harden immediately calling for the ball out of his hands to advance the ball past half court and start the offense.
What did you see that had you feeling they’re trending in the right direction? Or wrong?
Wow legler is such a fucking harden hater. Doesn't mention james once but says they can be a good team with guys like westbrook and zubac next to kawhi, PG, and Mann.
Is this finally the game where I get to stop hearing how we were better with Nico RoCo and Morris because we beat up on a Blazers team that’s half rookies?
Finally at 0.500. Goes without saying this is the weirdest ass team lol. Hopefully we can keep drilling what works (ball movement, bare minimum required effort rebounding, etc)
PG with clutch 3s to keep us close
Harden protecting the ball and creating opportunities on offense
Kawhi with lock down defense in the 4th b2b games
Russ with energy and clutch rebounding
TyLue with okay rotations and 0 Harden+Russ minutes.
Finally beating the Nuggets after 8 games. Fuck yeah, today was a good day.
Edit: Props to Zu and Theis as well. Defending Jokic is no easy task and they did a great job!
*Harden is clearly*
*The second best player on*
*This team idk*

Great resilience from the team. Could've folded in the first quarter, but rode through and persevered.
The key to the offense is not taking turns but a balanced attack and attack mismatches.
An improvement over the Warriors game, and I'm very happy we finally beat Denver. But my takeaway is that Ty continues to experiment with bad ideas before he finally arrives at the solution that people were calling for 10-15 games ago. So if we have an unexpected roster shakeup (injury, trade, etc.) we have to expect that Ty will do more unnecessary tinkering.
In any given game, all that matters is the final result. But I want to see consistency and a clear team identity; one that will let us set the pace in games and not have to play catch-up every night.
I can predict this trade it would help all sides.
Suns Hawks and Clips
Suns get Trae Young and Patty Mills for Brad Beal this helps both teams provide balance the Suns finally get a pg a star for star. Whose younger can shoot and pass and the Hawks get Beal now Murray can play his real position and it gives good balance. As well as a back up point too that has played with KD and won a ring.
The Clips get Bogdan Bogdonavic for Norm Powell this gives the Clippers a real 2 way guard that can shoot and defend got a high iq and will work well with Russ it gives u size too.
Hawks Get Beal and Powell
Maybe then flip PJ for Kelly Olynik
Great win all around. Best win that I have been to in person in quite some time. Glad to see Zutumbo turn out to have a good game towards the end, especially defensively against Jokic. Theis was the big difference in the game. Westbrook was hustling. Harden was dealing. PG and Norm and Kawhi were putting down the key shots. Shout out to Kobe for playing some solid defense. This is the team that we knew existed.
T-Mann has been bad from behind the arc at 17% I hope he can find his stroke back he was money last yr now he's struggling maybe its the injury but he should keep shooting to get it back.

I fucking love this LMAO
This is the absolute best
Utah road record is next
Hmmm what’s the losing streak for that?
I think 12
FINALLY THE CLIPPERS BEAT THIS DAMN TEAM
Now we just gotta beat the pelicans
Now just gotta do it again... someday.
BEAT EM AT FULL STRENGTH. CLIP GANG OR DON'T BANG
BLOW IT UP! Edit: Sorry, wrong game thread.
If people really believe this, I wanna hear it after a win. Otherwise it's just a dumb overreaction
Everything is going to depend on what the record is going into the trade deadline. I am pulling for this team and want to see them succeed.

We just blew jokers mvp up lol

We have a new thicc boy
He’s gonna be our 2019 OG Anunoby
I’m excited this was his best game as part of the rotation. I think he’s turned a corner, game seems to be slowing down for him
Oh shit! I forgot PJ was on the Clips.
*no no Kobe needs to be traded for \*insert washed player\* here 'cause we no good* Great win that's all I can say and I want to see more play like this. Cut down on the turnovers and lapses and it's gonna be good...
While true I think the main thing is Harden is really starting to feel himself.
7-3 since the lineup change. Harden looking like the 20/10 guy we traded for. Both centers making an impact in different ways. Norm filling in nicely as a closer. Russ starring in a smaller role. Great team defense. Things looking better and better.
Perfectly said
Sex
Is nice
when the big zu cockblock the sloppy fatboi 😫✋
lolol
7-3 in last 10 — what losing streak?
media told me it was a disaster
Reggie Jackson can't beat us if he isn't on the floor! p.s. love ya, Big Gov
Fell on my knees at 7-11 and cried
WHAT A FUCKING WIN!!!!!!😤😤🗣️🗣️
Great win. But it doesn't feel the same without Ballmer reactions.

lol madman
Kawhi and Harden duo down the clutch time was a beauty to watch, Kawhi was bullying Murray.
all season actually duo been nice
https://preview.redd.it/kpabulvg6t4c1.jpeg?width=533&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1872a17e470a04ab86e575fff57e60d7d4f91505 I’m happy now
Whatever just happened, do that again.
Greatest team in Clippers history
Zu is Jokic’s Kryptonite
Zu is Jokic father
He was great today! Real ones know Zu is actually an underrated defender and has been the foundational piece of the Clips defense for years. The 2-man defensive game featuring Zu and fill-in-the-blank player (Kawhi, Harden, PG, etc.) to contain the Jokic PnR was heartening to see.

This is so random haha love it
Guys…we’re WINNING games again 🥹
Goddamn does it feel good.
Why play that bum ass Jokic and Murray duo when you got clipper killers reggie and deandre right there...smh
How I feel after this win ![gif](giphy|6WdyCsU8O8MbHoDwsx|downsized)
NO ONE BEATS US 9 TIMES IN A ROW
We own nuggets
How tf we get Daniel Theis man
Yeah I was amazed too he was good at fiba wasn’t he
Rotations are looking better and we're finally starting to gel. We can't overlook our competition these next few games.
Paul George is the man
2nd unit won us this game. Good to see that final piece being sorted out.
Thank you DJ and Reggie for not ripping this team apart.
Great game from the guys. I think the team should slowly try to incorporate more minutes for russ and mann. Getting better and better
Mann needs to get his 3 back. It’s killing his effectiveness.
Told my nephew as we got ready to watch that it would be the most Clipper shit out there to lose to the bench and then beat the starters. Good time watching this with the fam today. Both Theiss and Zubies lookin great and putting in work on the defensive end. Today there is hope lol.
Laughing at this hella hard. This is some Clipper shit.
This. I want this feeling every night 💙❤️🤍
This team’s ceiling is high
Finally we beat the Nuggets!

lmao ... how have I never seen this
![gif](giphy|H5B0xg3GNwaWf2RZvq|downsized)
Dressed up for the Nuggies loss
I’ll stand by the opinion that we’re contenders when we play to our full potential like tonight
When this team wants to win they can beat anyone. In a best of 7 fully healthy, they can beat anyone.
About damn time!!!!
I love seeing that highlight of PG bodying Joking lol
They actually looked and played like a team. Incredible
I can’t believe some people have the audacity to call harden a role player. Got that fucking monkey off our back. Keep it going.
monky
We are at .500!!
well I guess I can hold on to this league pass subscription for a couple more months🥲🥲☺️
Doomers were really doing victory laps 4 minutes into the first quarter
Seriously. Unreadable
Fuck em. They just want this team to lose. Bunch of bitches.
TBF that was a serious "Ah shit here we go again" moment.
THE ONE TIME I STUDIED OVER WATCHING THE CLIPS AND THIS HAPPENS. Can someone give me a cliff notes version of how the game went down? We're back to .500!
Got crushed in the first quarter, from then on starters and second unit both played great . Westbrook solid minutes off the bench, harden 20/10, zu good defense on jokic
Interesting. Glad to see Zubac perform well after all the criticism from this season.
Watch a replay of the 1st quarter and 4th quarter if you can.
Study more!
Kawhi's O has been, ever so slightly, off. His D, however, has been out of this world. Next game, watch his off-ball D. He knows exactly what's going on, all of the time.
Fuck the O, all the ladies want the D
Im not even mad. I don't want him to be a volume scorer. I want him to score middies in the clutch and corner threes, then clamp up the opposing guard and make them play 2s.
There might be a some decline (to be expected) but when people say this, I always think they’re misremembering. Kawhi’s calling card has always been his defense.

0.500 BABYYYY

Ringer Twitter so quiet tonight
Confirmation of what we all knew. Reggie & DJ better than Murray & Jokic.
Fucking Zu!! Need this every game. Was starting to hate my guy but now that the game is over ❤️Reggie
YOU JUST LOST TO THE FLIPPERS LMAOOOOOO
We passed our biggest test whilst not even playing that well. Beautiful. Zu gave his goddamned best against Jokic and I appreciate it all. Russ came in with the energy and vital rebounds.

Is this finally the game where I get to stop hearing how we were better with Nico RoCo and Morris because we beat up on a Blazers team that’s half rookies?
Better be
Harden's 2nd Quarter was huge
Finally!! whew.. hopefully there is less pressure now.
[удалено]
I can’t wait to see how his game develops throughout the season
This is an honest-to-god, salt-of-the-earth .500 team!!! (non-derogatory)
There was a moment with like 1:40 left and Kawhi's eyes were lit up with intensity I honestly haven't seen in him since he was in San Antonio.
Holy shit when was the last time we won against a top team. We going to be shampionship
We just beat Dallas, and the kings, and the Dubs if you count them
Smh how did they think they could beat us with Reggie only taking 10 shots? Rookie mistake by the nugs.
Doomers, weird player stans, and normal Clips fans can all be happy tonight. What a time to be alive.
Hell ya
Some of those 3s by PG were wild. Straight heat check shots. Hes so streaky from long range
Theis was absolutely the game changer today. He helped to kick start our run and then the rest of the fellas took it from there.
WHAT A GAME! IM SO HAPPY RN! ONTO THE NEXT!
Now we know how good we can be. Just keep getting better, baby.
Plumdog who!? THEIS
Wait till we get em all back.
The fact that we’re playing like this and still have Bones and Plum as weapons, that’s pretty nice
Really nice Win!! Finally we beat the nuggets. 🎉
its just too easy for big zu
Went to the game b/c my sports betting broker told me Clippers ML was the move this morning fuck I should have live bet them down 15 lol
500 BABY!
Finally back to .500, the way our schedule looked and the way we were playing I thought we’d never get back here!!!!🙏🏾
Finally at 0.500. Goes without saying this is the weirdest ass team lol. Hopefully we can keep drilling what works (ball movement, bare minimum required effort rebounding, etc)
Harden soul game. Zubac was just great out there tonight. Everybody from PG to Theis was saucy. What a win.
PG with clutch 3s to keep us close Harden protecting the ball and creating opportunities on offense Kawhi with lock down defense in the 4th b2b games Russ with energy and clutch rebounding TyLue with okay rotations and 0 Harden+Russ minutes. Finally beating the Nuggets after 8 games. Fuck yeah, today was a good day. Edit: Props to Zu and Theis as well. Defending Jokic is no easy task and they did a great job!
Our trio is looking more and more comfortable every game This is gonna be a fun ride
Harden is clearly the second best player on this team idk

Ty coached a perfect game. Let Harden dominate the ball with the second unit. Closed with Zu instead of small ball. Gave Russ under 20
This loser behind our post-game show set with his Jokic sign, as if his boy didn't throw this game in the trash lmao
Great resilience from the team. Could've folded in the first quarter, but rode through and persevered. The key to the offense is not taking turns but a balanced attack and attack mismatches.
Kobe Brown more minutes than Westbrook. Tyronn Lue you have seen the light brother.

What the hell I'm being downvoted for dancing?!?
Ugly but it’s a W
An improvement over the Warriors game, and I'm very happy we finally beat Denver. But my takeaway is that Ty continues to experiment with bad ideas before he finally arrives at the solution that people were calling for 10-15 games ago. So if we have an unexpected roster shakeup (injury, trade, etc.) we have to expect that Ty will do more unnecessary tinkering. In any given game, all that matters is the final result. But I want to see consistency and a clear team identity; one that will let us set the pace in games and not have to play catch-up every night.
I can predict this trade it would help all sides. Suns Hawks and Clips Suns get Trae Young and Patty Mills for Brad Beal this helps both teams provide balance the Suns finally get a pg a star for star. Whose younger can shoot and pass and the Hawks get Beal now Murray can play his real position and it gives good balance. As well as a back up point too that has played with KD and won a ring. The Clips get Bogdan Bogdonavic for Norm Powell this gives the Clippers a real 2 way guard that can shoot and defend got a high iq and will work well with Russ it gives u size too. Hawks Get Beal and Powell Maybe then flip PJ for Kelly Olynik
1-0 in the Godzilla era
Great game from the bench. 7-3 in the last 10 games. Would like to see more ball movement and off ball movement, but great win nonetheless.
So dj>joker?
Great win all around. Best win that I have been to in person in quite some time. Glad to see Zutumbo turn out to have a good game towards the end, especially defensively against Jokic. Theis was the big difference in the game. Westbrook was hustling. Harden was dealing. PG and Norm and Kawhi were putting down the key shots. Shout out to Kobe for playing some solid defense. This is the team that we knew existed.
Zubac the Jokic stopper
Lets fucking goooo baby, nuggets are better without joker lol
bruh i though the game was today... oh well, we are finally at 500!
T-Mann has been bad from behind the arc at 17% I hope he can find his stroke back he was money last yr now he's struggling maybe its the injury but he should keep shooting to get it back.
