[Run It Back] Clippers rookie Kobe Sanders on the vibes in the Clippers locker room recently: “Definitely a lot better than how we started. The main thing is our leadership … Block out the drama. Block out the outside noise.”

Yeah we know who the problem was.
Gave us so much with so little
Consistent with what he said after the first post Chris win…
Such a goated 10 min video (no cap coming out of the draft, i really liked Kobe for no reason i didnt even know college ball, just having a tall pg named Kobe, someone to look up to as a part of the future was nice and delusional, until now…)
FUCK CHRIS PAUL
He probably got in trouble with the coaching staff because of CP
Man did I get downvoted into oblivion for talking shit about CP3 months ago..Addition by subtraction is a wonderful thing.
CP was the problem.
I’ve been a fan for decades. Everyone was asking me what I thought about Paul coming back and I kept saying it was suss and I was still prickly about how he left, he seemed to only care about himself, team was secondary. Like I’m grateful for the times he was awesome but he brings a bad vibe. I wasn’t sad to see him go again and the team has yelled since he left.
Ty Lue aside 😒, seems likea big issue handled itself.
Future all-star Kobe Sanders
They all saying the quiet part out loud. Idc this is a stat, when it comes time to reviewing careers and seeing where #3 lands on that all time list these conversations need to be brought up
Their performance since December and comments like this unfortunately prove that CP3 was the problem.
Not sure with form of CP is worse
Basically cp3 is gone so vibes are infinitely better lol… LET THEM COOK!
Night and day.
Who ever thought CP was a good decision?
I am so confused by this comment section. How does a 40 year old man who doesn’t play equate to 5 – 16 start to the season? These are supposed to be professional basketball players. A team that was 2nd worst in the west, barely above the pelicans is supposed to blame Chris Paul?
We have Kawhi Leonard and James Harden, two all time players along with a borderline all-nba center in Zu. If Chris Paul leaving was the answer, it was because he finally made the team wake up and start playing winning basketball.
I think it is completely possible he wasn’t the best in the locker room. But to start as abysmal as we did has little to do with Chris Paul. Go watch that first game against that Jazz and think about the reason we started off so slow. We moved Norm, brought on Collins and Beal (Who got injured). And started giving a rookie in Kobe Sanders rotational minutes. Idk im open to hearing opposing thoughts, but it just does not make sense to me.
