Honestly, at that time, blake and jordan were overrated. In order for the clippers to win the whole thing, they needed more from them than just dunking.

@@caldwmc Rightt lol, theres definitely something more to it. In every interview they always allude to other problems and specific beefs but never who and what. I might be wrong but I think DJ ended up marrying one of Blakes ex's lmfao so who knows

He still didn’t say much here either

Clippers fan? You poor suffering soul...

Los Angeles belongs to Lakers we sending the clippers to San Diego or Anaheim

That’s what it seems like to me as well. I haven’t watched the full interview but when he answers the question and takes that long pause kind of says everything. Looks like he was thinking hard about that one but 🤷

Blake Griffin is known for his pettiness. He punched a Clippers equipment manager cause they got into a heated argument. Griffin was on the injured list prior to that incident and had to spend more time on the injured list because he broke his hand when he punched that guy. He also poured water on a Warriors fan and acted like he didn't mean it. He's a total knucklehead.

There’s no way they beat the 73-9 Warriors or the 2014 “Beautiful Game” Spurs team, you’re delusional.

@@Vastatio which was the year, that Clips DID beat Spurs but lost to Rockets?

Clipps had a slim chance in 2014. Spurs were on a mission to claim what they thought was theirs the year before. They happen to run into a hungry OKC team that was injured last playoffs They had ZERO chance in 2016. OKC was the 3 seed, Spurs went 67-15 (ppl forget cuz of the warriors), GS went 73-9. Those 3 teams were elite as they get. Not to mention the Spurs had Lamarcus as well but sadly underachieved w that roster. Clipps we’re going no where 2015 was their best shot but fell apart against Houston.

The Clippers make their 1st conference finals the year after they get rid of him. Meanwhile, the 1 seed 76ers hire him and get upset by the 5 seed Hawks. That convo needs to happen ASAP!

The Rockets were just the better team and had better teamwork so it doesn't matter whether it was led by Josh Smith and Corey Brewer. They simply played as a team.

It’s a podcast you clown. It’s not made for KZfaq

But no championship

I say 2014 cause they at least beat the warriors Idk if they do in 15. I think blowing that okc game was worse than the josh smith game. Cause at least they took away they’re best option harden the phrase “make someone else beat you” actually happens sometimes. Lol it’s like if Westbrook randomly makes 8 3s and you lose a game 7 it’s like oh well how often does that happen 🤷🏾‍♂️.

2014 Warriors were not fully evolved yet. They were already good and the potential was clear but they still were not the Warriors we all know now. They signed Kerr, key role player in Livingston and Green had his first breakout year the next season. 2014-2015 season was when the Warriors were finally fully unleashed. Also, that 2013-2014 Spurs team for some reason is insanely underrated nowadays. They were absolutely incredible and beat Heat in a dominant fashion. One of the most impressive NBA championship teams in the last 20 or so years by far. The reason for that Spurs team decline is the timing of their Duncan, Parker, Ginobili trio and their new two way superstar Kawhi. Before 2014 Kawhi was still developing and after 2014 age was really getting in the way of the legendary trio. 2014 playoffs was when Kawhi emerged as a superstar and the trio was still somewhat in form. 2014 Spurs were absolutely fascinating.@@Kirbystare1992

Why u say that?

@@gshivs793 he’s responsible for blowing many 3 1 leads

@@mr.obamium8074 Lol...I dont even like Doc but is Doc on the court when these leads were blown? Don't think so. He might of overseen the blown leads but it aint simply "HIS" fault

Dk if you are joking about doc but it’s actually DEFINITELY doc. So many mistakes.

@@NewGoldie One blown 3-1 series lead, okay fine, maybe just tough luck. Two 3-1 leads blown? Okay that might be something but three 3-1 leads blown? Three. And it's like he had a lack of talent, with T-Mac, Blake and CP3, then Kawhi and PG. This was also the same coach that kept saying nothing was wrong with Ben Simmons only to suddenly blame him at the end of a playoff loss(I mean he deserved the blame but after all the hype that he was saying throughout the season?)

I always wondered what would have happened if Clips Warriors played in 2015 WCF. Felt like it would have went at least six or seven either way. I really felt like if that series was played whoever won that would have won the title (given that the cavs still break down and it was Lebrun one man show)

they had their chances… losing to Corey Brewer and Josh Smith when you had the lead the entire game is inexcusable tho

Youre right 2015 was def their best shot. They had all the momentum after beating the defending champs and then had the Rockets on the ropes. Overall tho they just didn't have enough talent. They always seemed like they were one piece away. Like they just needed a solid wing that could play passable defense and hit a corner 3. Someone that you can use on Josh Smith when he gets hot or put on KD and at least try to slow him down. Somebody like that would've taken a huge load off of Paul and Blake. I still remember in 2014 all they had was Dudley for KD lmao. The man was getting absolutely cooked every time down the floor.

Too hard to score ? Bro dropped 41 in the playoffs and then like 27 the very next night in an elimination game. He’s a Pg he’s not pose to have the most points, he’s pose to set up his guys.

As long as he plays in the league he has to walk a line. Even Jimmy Butler who doesn't give a boot did not detail every single thing that happened in philadelphia. Even though we all know that he hated Ben Simmons and the coddling n self disrespected that he had to pick a back seat to him when he's clearly the better player. Point is he didn't say all that in his interview cuz u cant really go deep inside the lockeroom, it's part of the code and also works to the benefit of all players coaches and executives

@@altdelete7696 Yeah that’s a good point. That would definitely hold you back from expressing more.

15 they lost to the Rockets down 3-1

Not just mentally. More balanced roster, better coached, had better game plans and sets, especially in playoffs. Those Spurs and Warriors teams were magic and really well oiled machines with great defense and amazing free flowing offense while Clippers had tendencies to become a bit slugish and lack imagination/visions against playoffs defenses and relied way too much on CP3 and BG being their offense. Warriors and Spurs moved the ball and much more and in general played off ball much better getting easier better shots where CP3 and BG were often working like horses to get a decent shot for their team or were forced to take tougher shots than the opposition. No one reasonable ever put Clippers as the main contenders. In reality they were more of a dark horse/or tier 2 contenders behind the tier 1 contenders. Their flaws was always apparent (lack of good wing that isn't way past his prime and outdated offense relying way too much on CP3 and BG generating looks). It's just a lot of fans get mesmerized by their constant highlights making them appear more dominant than they really were and people blindly jumping aboard Doc Rivers train just because he has won the title with Celtics in the past with hall of fame trio and insane defensive talent along them). Still a really great team that made so many incredible memories along the way and the fact that they beat one of the most impressive defending champions -2014-2015 Spurs was absolutely incredible.

It’s somthing that I don’t love about chris Paul is that’s he busts everyone’s balls instead of knowing what teammates need what kind of mentor ship

The thing with CP is he expects people to give 100% all the time and if he sees someone screw up he is blunt about it. This rubs a lot of personalities the wrong way but it's also part of the reason why his teams are always good. He gets the most he can out of his teammates. Booker is similar in that he is super competitive and wants to win so bad which is why they work well together. Winning is above any other consideration. I don't know CP has the social graces to ever be a coach lol.

CP3 won me over when he took that Thunder team to the playoffs.

What was their efg?

Maybe? Blake, Crawford and JJ are in the same team. Defense is a weakness

Defense was weakness, especially at the wing (CP3 being the best KD "stopper" that the team could offer is a perfect example of this), however their offense is also was a big problem too, especially in playoffs. Their regular season offense was amazing but they couldn't keep the same pace during the playoffs. The coaching, schemes and sets were obsolete and they were clearly dragging behind much more modern Warriors, Spurs, Rockets offenses. Clippers were working much harder for their looks than their opposition. Maybe their offense was the way it was due to lack of elite wing or because of certain players not willing to give up their iso tendencies but the fact of their offenses becoming way less effective during playoffs in comparison to regular season still stands. Cavs were able to get away with more static offense in playoffs but unlike Clippers they had elite defense and they had LeBron as their wing. Moral of the story: work smarter not harder unless you have a wing that literally can do everything at the elite level. @@KB-qk1ic

100% facts

Austin river balled out many times ....once again pettiness

He balled but a lot of that was empty scoring and no defense very similar to Jamal Crawford. Like, sure an instant offense energy second unit guy is great but the team was in much more desperate need for a decent two way wing and secondary playmaker. Rivers was not bad but he wasn't a good fit for the team essentially being a second but worse Jamal Crawford. Also, it wasn't just him, Doc also kept bringing his other old friends/former players and mismanaged/traded all the young talent that could have developed and be important pieces of the team.. @@Surgeon806
