  1. Playing heartless on defense and brain dead on offense. A step behind every play on defense. No confidence on offense. Be better gents.

  7. Russ was a mess out there (granted, who wasn’t), and yet Taliban Ty decided to give him the Mook leash. This team is their own worse enemy

  8. Playing Harden for only 4 minutes in the 3rd quarter to give Russ more minutes is legit so fucking stupid

  17. We got to play better. I’m done with Plumlee. I know he’s undersized but much rather play Theis instead. Also did anyone feel like we were getting hammered all night but not getting any calls? Especially with Zu

  18. Pathetic performance. Contenders shouldn’t have nights like tonight. They do, but they shouldn’t. Ty Lue needs to actually do his job, as tough as it may be. The officiating was bad, Russ was worse. Sorry ass team needs to show some pride.

  19. Welp that was a beat down in the second half. Still a lot to work on and I’m not really worried, but I would like to see them give more of a fuck in these marquee matchups. No one but norm and klaw and harden really showed up. That sequence of Zu getting blocked over and over and over was pretty tough to watch.

  20. Kawhi said only reason we’ve been winning games is because we out-talented our competition. Doubt that’ll be the case in the playoffs 😬

  21. Bench minutes weren’t good, not enough from PG + we gave up many open shots. Not good enough tonight but onto the next.

  22. Zu stinks and he’s gonna get relegated to the bench once exposed in the playoffs…again…for like the 3rd or 4th time. Issue is we have no decent smallball 5 option now that batum and covington are gone lol

  23. We have to get back to what was working Dec-Jan. Theis as the backup 5, Russ in a more limited/specialized role, and PG not playing like dogshit.

  24. The westbrook stans will certainly come in here crying about Harden stans or something, but Russ is just a volatile player man. He will cost this team in the playoffs.

  25. can someone analyse how we have trended the last 10 or so games? seems
    like we have been punting good habits and building bad ones

    onto individual players, paul is garbage and i don’t trust him in a single playoff game. russ is out of control and doing too much, he’s lost any sense of his role. harden has not been making our offense as easy as he had been earlier. plumlee is garbage and i don’t trust him in a single regular season game, forget playoffs.

    the other role players are okay they show up in flashes but everyone is lost on defense like we took the anti chemistry pills lol

    lastly, damn give theis a chance. we had a good thing going with him

  26. People claim that Harden is washed and that he wouldn’t be able to do what he did with Houston, but I think he could easily get 30 points a game consistently if given the chance. The problem is, that he has to share the ball with PG and Westbrook.

    The main problem is, that the Clippers have been struggling to get rebounds and defending the paint recently. Luckily, they still have time to address by the time playoffs arrive. Ty has to earn his money and fix the problems.

  28. All I want is to witness this team win a championship, if we are like the ‘04 Pistons where they won and sucked generally speaking for the next 20 years so be it

  29. Our defense hasn’t been good since…December? It’s very concerning that the only good teams we’ve played well against in the West are the Suns and Nuggets (and maybe Dallas pre-recent trades). We have almost no answers for the Thunder and TWolves. A power forward wasn’t solving that. We play too much hero ball. We don’t pass enough. We have bad defensive tendencies. Is there a path for us in the playoffs? Sure, everyone needs a bit of luck. But Lakers, Wolves, Thunder? I don’t know how we beat them in a series. It’s not a doomer. It’s just…how?

  33. I wish Kawhi would just take over more man, like he’s too good to be only taking 12 shots ESPECIALLY when he’s hot like that, he needs to have that mindset of “give me the ball and get the fuck outta my way”. Obviously it’s just 1/82 but would really like to see him take control more

  34. Relying on shot making to win is cool until PG has a month long cold streak (or hot and cold streak idc my point stands)

  35. That was embarrassing to watch.

    I’ve forever defended Paul George but he’s been playing like this for a while. He needs to just sign whatever extension he’s being offered by the Clippers. He certainly isn’t worth a long term Max deal at this point.

  36. At our core, we’re a jump shooting iso team. We’re only going as far as our shooting takes us. We’re not really going to rely on bigs banging down low getting easy buckets. We’re not going to draw a lot of fouls and win at the line. We don’t play crazy lockdown defense. We gotta make 3s and get fast breaks. Feels like our only chance

  40. those missed russ layups would get anybody else benched. absolute insanity. probably wouldn’t even make a varsity high school team.

  43. The game was lost on:

    Allowing too many open 3’s and too many mistakes on defense.

    PG needs to be better.

    Russ missed too many open layups, they turned the game in the 3rd.

    Not to be overlooked, the refs were brutal.

  44. Westbrook/PG were playing like ass man, Russ on a minimum though while PG is gonna want the MAX.
    Also OKC had 12 blocks and 9 steals on us MAN WTF
