They would also matchup fairly good against the Warriors that year who if i recall correctly struggled against teams with strong interior presence and overall tough defense

Glad you’re a loyal clippers fan. I started turning against the franchise as soon as Blake left, it really broke my heart that day when they traded the most loyal/best player at that time to the Pistons.

Clippers crowned themselves after that series and forgot to play hard and underestimated the Rockets.

@Versatile Wolf NWO there isn’t any excuse in the entire post. It’s a fact that the Clippers and/or the Spurs would have been the toughest challenge the Warriors had to face that year. I didn’t excuse the Clippers collapse against the Rockets. They blew it… just like the Warriors blew a 73 win season.

@@ulyssesperry886 it broke my heart that they traded Blake away too. He was the reason I started watching the Clippers, but considering his career trajectory after the trade and where we ended up… it was the right move at the right time.

He is the main reason. He’s so passionate about losing, he overpaid hos mediocre son

@@fishingtacklechannel I concur. I really think Doc should coach sub par teams like back in his Magic or the 2018 Clippers. That's when he shines the most.

Overrated coach who cares more about virtue signaling.

And he definitely killed the core of Lob City once he became GM by trading for old, washed players. Because Glenn Rivers doesn't want to deal with developing young players, he just relies on the old school guys and hope for them to be mature enough to do everything for him.

@@mduis9532 no because he’s a black head coach and can’t have the brothas get fired or have to take blame

Big true. Specially in playoff series against grizzlies, you know it would be long physically exhausting 7 games.

Unlike the us Lakers we were unstoppable never been trash till now because of west brick

If it weren't for 2021, the Bucks RN would be in that same realm. 2019, lose the ECF to Toronto, 2020 lose to Miami in the 2nd round, 2022 lose to Boston in the 2nd round. Thank God Durant likes to wear shoes that are too big.

Doesn't help when half the lineup is on cortisone injections, broken orbital bones, bon spurs etc. Clippers 2013-14 were winning every series they played until CP or Blake got injured along with at least 3-4 role players. The rockets series was the worst of them all. They went up without CP and then Blake tore a MCL, Jamal strained a hamstring that nagged him all season, JJ Redick and Glen Davis had bones spurs in their ankles, Matt Barnes had a torn labrum, Austin Rivers dropped out to the broken Orbital and came back momentarily to lead a comeback. This was one of many cases proving they were not front runners. And the Grizzlies comeback was historic, Spurs (the defending champions) comeback etc. The clippers are the only team to beat two champions in back to back playoffs. They had it all until the injuries and eventually the CP ego got involved in each losing effort.

they also split the season series with them too that year, they had it.

I wish the Warriors had faced them in the Conference Finals but I think they wouldve beaten the Clippers. Remember, the previous year, the series went to 7 games. That year Steph became the MVP and Klay became an all-star. And had homecourt advantage.

Clippers fan here since 2006, I've been through a lot of heartbreak with this team and I constantly get clowned for it every season...but something about our current FO with the great Jerry West, has really turned our franchise around. We made the WCF without Kawhi, a feat we have never done before as a franchise..amazing. I'm hopeful for our squad. Especially with Lue at the helm, he's found a gem in T-Mann and most recently we got Norman Powell and Covington for pretty much nothing but an aging bledsoe a rook and a pick in the draft. I like our chances..I'm so used to heartbreak with this team but I feel this may be the turn around. Just needa get PG & Kawhi healthy for next season, this one is to develop and reload. Lob City was great for the franchise, but we used it as a leaping board to what we are now. A respected franchise with players actually wanting to come and play for us, rather than at times the Lakers, that is a great victory to say the least. Also, a new arena in 2025 for us by Mr. Ballmer himself who also now owns the forum haha only way is up my dude! (sorry for the long comment)

I’m from the future and it does not in fact get better for the clippers

same i loved lob city clippers. the choking hurts so bad tilll now

@@ClippersRunLA whats your opinion?

@@righteo9117 I'm no griffin fan but he actually had a decent jumpshot. He even extended his range to the 3pt line.

@@jhdivina I mean I guess he improved his jumpshot somewhat but it wasnt reliable to be a threat to help their playoff runs. By the time he made it reliable and extended his range to the 3pt line the lob city era was pretty much over so its a a shame the clippers couldnt attract a third option to put them over the line.

@@righteo9117 now this part is correct but honestly I think we would have been better off with Kyrie maybe the clippers were too thirsty for cp but maybe Cp3 would have been better off a laker I mean he was better a hornet than a clipper if we’re being honest and I also think Chris stunted Blake’s growth in some ways I think Blake griffin had the complete package and he was willing to improve and expand his game as you can see in his later years. He is actually my favorite player and I believe he is the best clipper of all time. I think the clippers should have stuck it out and gotten Kyrie I’m not sure if Chris was the best to put along side Blake bc initially it was Blake’s Team

There were so many wars on the West

Agreed

Austin was a good side piece. The real factors is when everyone disappeared in the playoffs. Or got injured

@@subscribo2059 austin a good side piece? I will give credit to his defense ut his offense was severely lacking, in his 3 seasons with the clippers in the playoffs he shot 32% from 3, only 66% from ft and a true shooting of just 49%, that is not something that i will call "good side piece"

Our main problem was not being able to sign a good SF. The best we had during whole that era was Matt Barnes. I love that dude but if he's the best we ever had, that's a problem. The sad part is we managed to get both Harris and Gallinari right after trading Blake.

@@luchogonzealaise3717 I highly agree! I wanted to mention their small forward not being able to contribute but he was kinda their defender. And hell yeah man, Matt Barnes was the only small forward we saw from that Lob City Clippers actually contributing. Especially that last few seconds Game 7 defense against the Defending Champ Spurs ( Spurs actually got cheated with the timer). When it was announced that Kevin Durant might join the Lob City Clippers, I really got excited that finally the lineup is about to be complete. But then yeah... =( It feels so good talking with a Lob City Clippers fan

I'm a foreigner that grew up watching this Clippers team. Remember constantly showing up to the school late despite them being clearly outmatched by Spurs (talking about a different Clippers vs Spurs series earlier) cause I insisted to finish the games that would start very early in the morning for me and would sometimes drag way past my first lesson (series were quite ugly from the Clippers side though because Clippers relying way too much on Griffing and CP3 isos in the playoffs). Also, remember spending a weekend over my friends at being the only one mesmerized by that Clippers vs defending champions Spurs game 7 thriller and pissing my friends that way because I made them to watch it with me when everyone else were only interested in Floyd vs Pacquiao match that happened the same day. Good times lmao @@ilovejeffhardy3906

I fully agree. If we had T lue back then, we’d have been champs

@@rockscracked6161 I don’t think so. Rivers isn’t great, but Tyron Lue alone can’t fix Blake griffin’s legs or choking. Not to mention they were in the same league as the all time great spurs, heat, warriors, and thunder

@@lik7953 a good coach can fix choking at a certain level (if he can prevent a meltdown the sixers would beat the Rockets in 2015) Granted im not sure if they could beat the Warriors that year

Idk, Doc is a weird. I can't really call him bad because after joining Clippers he instantly made the team significantly more efficient at least in regular season. Vinny Del Negro Clippers were good but never was leaders in any category while Doc's Clippers had top 1-3 offense (even first the first year before GSW evolved into their final form) and also improved their defense to also to top 5 (top 2 for a brief period of time). Sure, such players like JJ Reddick and Matt Barnes addition played a role in that too and would have make a team better even under Vinny Del Negro but the results and stats speak for themselves. Regular season is regular season but it's still a pretty big achievement to perform at such level for 82 games so it's not useless. That being said, during playoffs Doc absolutely sucks and is a complete non factor or even a detriment to a team at times because of his stubbornness and unwillingness to adjust and lack of imagination/vision for the game. Team's choking is purely on Doc and not on CP3. Contrary to a popular belief CP3 performed in every single series outside of the one with OKC. But even in that series he was carrying hard (legit was the best KD defender on the team on top of doing the usual CP3 things on offense) until that bad stint in game 5 and 6 which kinda costed the series. However, later seasons even things during regular season went downhill because of his "oligarchy" in the team with Austin Rivers situation, and signings of old friends/players, it's pretty well documented. His playoffs "genius" also really shows with him not knowing what to do with JJ Reddick despite desperately relying on him being by far the best team's spacer and shooter for years.

They didn't want the lakers to win again

According to Stern at that time, the Lakers would be "too good" if they got CP3, even though the Lakers were about to give up Gasol and Odom for him and LeBron formed the Big 3 in Miami a year prior. He pretty much admitted that he didn't want the Lakers to keep winning

The Lakers would have 1 more ring Kobe bryant would of filled the ghost of Jordan etc. But the NBA helped them with Portland and kings so with that trade David and Clivand GM complain like baby is why it did not happen then the organization did not draft the correct players or But the right staff for Koby they wasn't the last year I still think he should have retired in 2013 not taken the extentions at all.

Man said Deron Williams! U a basketball fan 4real. Deron & Boozer were nice n Utah.CP3 & West n NO

Chris Paul isnt under 6 ft

People comparing CP3 and Deron William back in late 00s makes a perfect sense and it's not a pure black or white. For a short period of time it was a more modern version of Jason Kidd vs Steve Nash and there were arguments to be made in DWill favour cause in fact he has seen more immediate very impressive success with a team and was ahead in their head to heads. You could ask what CP3 thinks about this and he would say that DWill was amazing and probably his tougher competition at the time. It's just CP3 has had a much better career and longevity but peak Deron Williams was indeed a beast and respected by the likes of CP3, LeBron and Kobe as well as an important part of those historical 2008 and 2012 USA olympic teams. In 2008 they both shared the same time behind Jason Kidd and in 2012 even though CP3 started, they both still shared the same play time and had almost exact contribution. Like you can say that CP3 by a tiny amount was better but by it's not like you are entirely wrong if you would say that DWill was better. It was super super close. Btw, if anything CP3 is closer to 6'1 than being under 6 (which is still small and limiting for a player especially when you already rely fully on skill due to injury history (CP3 before knee injury in 2010 was both skilled and incredibly athletic)

I'm still a Clipper fan till this day though
