Yeah but to get him now it’s too late. The league has changed up and he’s overrated as a coach now. These young boys and young coaches went back to the basics. No more small ball unless it’s are bench, 2 bigs in the starting line up. Only the warriors won a chip playing small ball. And to be honest they didn’t even win small ball they won with looney at the 5, draymond at the 4. So it’s just the way it’s always been. U need 2 bigs in the starting line up to stop joker, Gordon, and Porter.

It easy to see what’s happening in the Clips/Dallas series. The Clippers have to make contested 3s to win… that simple. The shots they made in game 4 were VERY TOUGH. You can’t count on those going in to win. Dallas doesn’t need to play great to win, the Clips do. Luka hasn’t had a single game where he shot the 3 ball at his season average! Give Dallas credit on D instead of blaming the Clippers. They were the #1 D in the league after the deadline for a reason

Funny, carry... Dude can't carry the letter D much less a team of alphabets.(alphas). He's supposed to be a facilitator but when PG and Powell aren't hitting, Dallas D shut him down and you can't expect him to carry the load on the other end. Sorry, being so harsh on him but the lack of effort on D and his attitude when shots don't fall is traumatizing for him and he doesn't know what to do or CAN'T DO IT. Leave him alone from here on out. We KNOW what he's NOT capable of. It's like pampering a baby for the few things he can do well and neglecting all the things he needs to improve upon that will drive him off the all star ballot.

Almost all Clippers fans were very wary of this trade. We don't control it but can only support it. We supported it but the "system" is not what we want. We want only the good parts of Harden's game and to come off the bench mostly. I prefer Westbrook like some over Harden but I see that he has his off games as well. I am hoping there is an answer to keep them both on the bench when they suck and bring in PG as the pg and Coffee, Theiss, Tmann and Zu as the starting 5 for what happened last game.

I guess I had to watch the entire segment but the dismissal of Dallas in this video is very noticeable. I really need the NBA to get away from ESPN.

@alexbowman4392 Ай бұрын

Changing of the guard indeed. We are looking at the possibility of early exit of Durant, Curry, Lebron, Harden, Westbrook. All former MVPs, all out first round. Time to hand the keys to the youngsters.

Two things 1. Kawhi doesn't get enough hate. If this was kyrie with nets the whole video will be about kyrie not showing up and skipping games and what not and SAS screaming top of his lungs. SAS has been bringing up kawhi last 2 years for him skipping games for his load management but all these other media are not fair otherwise they would've treated kawhi same as kyrie. Kyrie haters 2. That girl really playing through card that their "superstar" was out and that's why they lost. So Paul George isn't a superstar? Harden all star? Kawhi is the only star they got? 😂

@286mic Ай бұрын

He's got those rings to shield him. Which I believe he gets way too much credit for.

@QuanPookie Ай бұрын

Kawhi is NO LONGER a superstar. He’s always injured. He’s just collecting a paycheck.

@Riles3152 Ай бұрын

Paul George is NOT and has never been a superstar. Superstar talent that plays like a #2 star when the games REALLY matter. James Harden is fool’s gold. All-time great offensive talent, that will also let you down and even quit on you when you need HIM most. Their best players are not dogs

@marckusduverger9776 Ай бұрын

@286mic: You’re trying to discredit Kawhi’s rings? Seriously, if Kawhi gets too much credit for being a champion then no one’s a champion.

@mrgetitdone85 I think the only time was in the bubble where they lost a 3 to 1 lead on Denver. 2021 was there best chance to make it to the finals but he got hurt at the end of game 4 against Utah.

@marckusduverger9776 Ай бұрын

Kawhi has degenerative knees, everyone knows. AD gets a lot of weird ticky tack injuries, that are probably serious they’re just odd

@joniblue7475 Ай бұрын

Coach Kidd should be credited with the win. He adjusted his defense. He made Zubac the main man for the Clippers and locked the perimeter.

@jamesc6876 Ай бұрын

Funny thing is, Zu could have been THE guy IF the Clippers accepted it. The Clippers kept doing the same stuff even though they were shown the opportunity.

@lookfeelbehealthy6320 Ай бұрын

Look at the difference between Kawhi, Giannis and Lillard who won't play in multiple games in the playoffs when the teams need you, despite minor injuries, and Embiid & Murray, who're playing despite injuries that aren't any less severe, and Bell's Palsy in the case of Embiid. I'm so sick of players not playing in the playoffs with minor injuries. It's beyond ridiculous.

@jamesc6876 Ай бұрын

I feel you, but Kwahi might have long term risk and they already signed him and need to protect him for years to come. It's more glaring that the non injured players don't come to play.

@lookfeelbehealthy6320 Ай бұрын

@@jamesc6876 The problem is he played a game and then decided to go back and not play. The other thing is with his 'injuries', there's no such thing as long term with him. He'll play another 2 years at most. I can almost guarantee that.

03:14 OMG lmao the bags were needed, it was tough to watch! Clippers couldn't buy a shot, but blowing it up isn't the answer. We don't have any draft picks and need to cling on to Paul George and probably James Harden. Ty Lue, however, hasn't been playing great rotations and hasn't given the team much besides good plays out of timeouts, and thats just not cutting it anymore
