We sometimes do dumb s*** like drafting Jerome over MPJ but then get Zubac from Lakers for a bag of chips

That's how it is

hey

Hi 😊

I love every single game of this team (except one you know which one 😠)

Ty Lue is my dad and PG is a God

Mook back let's get it going

man y'all euros are different

we need to start winning sum back to backs

also this 3day gap feels so longggggg

another quiet dub. Our defense is coming back and we finally held a lead

If feels nice being able to edit the title from 7-4 to 10-4

3W streak let's keep it goin!

Yeah on paper we should be able to get at least an 8W streak going

Sac W
OKC W x2
Atlanta W

But as you said you never know with this team... might drop an ugly one somewhere (like the early game against OKC...)

But tbh considering how well this team adjusts and how well we're playing even just after 14 games I think we should get 6-1 out of the next 7

5-2 worst case scenario

And then the Nets game

Clips have quietly looked like the best team in the league through the first 20% of the season when you account for who they've played and beaten, and how their 4 losses have come about

Beat GSW (up 20+)
Beat LAL (up 20+)
Beat DEN (Up 20+)
Beat Phx (Up 20+)
Beat healthy Portland (Up 20+)
Beat IND (Up 20+ though Indy was hurt)

Their losses have been majorly fluky.
SAS without George
Dallas without Kawhi
GSW after already beating them and being up by 20+ in both contest
and Utah

Fr we are looking AMAZING

I know pre season isn't a good indicator for anything but after losing all the games I thought there's going to be an improvement but it's gonna take a longer while for it to click

But first 20 games aren't even over and this group is looking like a TEAM

Everyone keeps highfiving each other and all you hear are new guys talking about how good the atmosphere is

You can see Ty Lue is a heck of a coach and he makes great adjustments. Reggie sucks? He doesn't play the next game. Pat is out? Maybe we will give Reggie a chance as our starting 5 for one game?

We had a rough week where we went WLWL and Kawhi stepped up and said "We need to improve" and since then we're the TOP5 team in NBA on both ends and are on a 4W streak

Last year despite the fact we got Kawhi and PG was super weird like... it wasn't fun to watch that team

This year tho? Wow... I loved every game

Also know no one is talking about this in NBA media bc they'd rather s*** on us than be reasonable

but Ibaka is a MAJOR improvement over Trezz
Kennard is a MAJOR improvement over Shamet

and to my surprise

Batum is an improvement over JGreen and that's not an easy thing to do

This team quietly had a perfect offseason

And their defense which has been bottom 10 this year has been largely due to the bench, which Ty Lue is tinkering with along with the fact that Marcus Morris has only recently just joined the bench.

The starters would have the best defensive rating in the league by a mile

They already have the best offense in the NBA by a mile if you throw out the Dallas game.

So yeah, they've been pretty damn good for the most part this season. 3rd in point differential despite a 51 point loss speaks volumes to how good they've been.

Another Win

Sidenote: Is anyone else disappointed in Ibaka a bit. It's still early(new team/bigger role) but he's been really underwhelming as the starting center. Dude's a liability under the rim. Zubac handles that better even if he isn't consistently putting buckets in.

clippers hate is corny, clips got a formidable squad on em and they don’t show no sign of slowing down

only up from here

5W since Kawhi said "we need to improve"

Naah I wouldn't say he's a liability...

He has a great touch and sometimes it amazes me how he just puts the ball in the basket like it's nothing

He was a bit slow this game but he wasn't playing in the last one so maybe he was a bit rusty on offense

Overall his ability to shoot a midrange jumper and sometimes step out and shoot a three is something we've desperately needed from our bigs since like... forever (last one that could shoot a three was Marreese Speights ffs and he wasn't as good at that as Ibaka is)

And with Ty Lue's big focus on shooting threes I think it's a great tradeoff to have a bit less power on the offensive rebound but have a great shot blocker and a great three point threat

Overall this season:

Ibaka is next level over Trezz
Kennard is next level over Sham
and Batum is next level over Green (a bit of a surprise but I think we all agree on that one)

We're better in every way and I still believe with time Ibaka will get into the rhythm and we will see his whole arsenal

LMAO I think Ibaka took your post personally haha

6W

Best team in the NBA
Ty Lue COTY
PG MVP

Lol I was thinking about that. His best game yet as a Clipper
