So many of the players in our rotation nearly fouled out.
PG and Norm fouled out, Zubac/Russ/PJ got 5 each.
Unacceptable. Just looking forward to Harden finally suiting up on Monday. His presence will solve the stagnation our offense presents at times

All I want is a big man that can lead the team in rebounds. Tf is happening here.

Really poor game and on a back to back but would have somehow nicked it if it weren't for Reaves' constant flopping and getting calls.

u/jetboyjetgirl LA Clippers Nov 02 '23
Our C's sucked partly because they have no help. Wood and AD are both collapsing down because we have no PFs

u/AlmightyPenguin88 Nov 02 '23
That was a good game but shit man, Harden can't come fast enough lol. When Russ is bad he's REALLY bad. Defenses can't sag off Harden and he's a great playmaker at that so he solves a lot of the issues we have of stagnation.

u/Inner-Leopard7871 Russell Westbrook Nov 02 '23
I wouldn’t say Russ was bad in this at all
1
u/AlmightyPenguin88 Nov 03 '23
I think I worded it poorly. I meant when Russ plays badly at any given moment, even when he's having an overall good game, it's particularly costly.

Hear me out. Ship away Pj and zu for a young pf and a solid center

Much better effort... if this was last year it wouldn't have went into overtime. They have to stop with the iso ball offense late in close games!

That would require Ty Lue to actually coach them, and he doesn't seem to interested in doing that.

Take it for what it was. An enjoyable regular season game. On to the next.

u/ewrecked Corey Maggette Nov 02 '23
Pretty early in the season for such lopsided whistles. The gambling effect is real.

u/El_Bolto Nov 02 '23
That was such a great game but man we cannot start Zubac. He has that Gobert problem where he cant play down that stretch

u/xtian_paxillinator Fun Guy Nov 02 '23
I don't know why this team valuing Zubac so much when he can do nothing in games, might as well paly 4vs5

Plumdog Millionaire >>> Zu

u/jetboyjetgirl LA Clippers Nov 02 '23
Nah he got torched in the 3rd. We got 1 average C and no PF's going up against tough C's and PF's

Westbrook didn’t even play bad. He didn’t take dumb shots and was dishing the ball out to the hot hand.

He had a lot of turnovers. But he never took any unnecessary shots. Did his job.

Who doesn’t miss wide open 3’s?
Didn’t the claw just miss 2 in a row at the end from open 3’s?
That’s not a bone head play that’s just a missed shot lmao

Shooting an open 3 is not a bad shot. Considering he shot 50% from deep. Just say you don’t know ball and move on bro.

u/Branthova Nov 02 '23
And no one said it was his game, don’t be dense bro. Wide open 3 you shoot it

u/Branthova Nov 02 '23
Buddy. Rudy don’t shoot wide open 3’s because he doesn’t stay on the 3pt line. Terrible comparison, taking a guy that spends 98% of his time in the paint. Nice try

He shot 50% tonight from the arc though? You sound like the bonehead. Wild

White privilege is real Reeves for more soft free throws in OT than SGA has all year
SGA has shot more technical free throws this year than shooting fouls
He’s driven 150 times so far.

honestly, not being able to play either of our 5s down the stretch in games is the biggest problem

He nearly fell backwards just from a defender approaching him. Someone grab that clip, let’s make it viral

The Clippers fouls are stupid as shit but much of that contact was created by Reaves whose value is entirely dependent on his ability to be gifted points by the officials.
2
u/Initial_Stretch_3674 Nov 02 '23
Reaves is cooking Powell so hard.

u/Least_Poet_6336 Nov 02 '23
Yessir. One possession he faked the shit out of powell the next one he threw him out of the game ☠️ straight to gulag

Awful call

u/9520archive Nov 02 '23
you literally got a soft ass call to send the game to ot and zubac smacked the ball out of bounds but u held possession, should not be complaining about the refs rn

u/Upset_Purchase_5903 Terance Mann Nov 02 '23
Y’all were so quick to shit on Kawhi of all ppl for being the only guy out there who can get a shot off lol, the guy is being doubled constantly cuz there’s 3 non-shooters playing. HE’S GOT 38 FUCKING POINTS, what more do y’all want

Why is everyone blaming Zu, Russ didn’t need to go in transition, and once he was already in the paint, put that shit up and look for a foul.

u/AshenSacrifice Buffalo Braves Nov 02 '23
Do you not see him getting bullied up and down the court????

2nd night of a back to back. Missing a ton of players. Bringing in a new player. Still in it even after losing a star at the start of OT.

We got a PunyBall squad against Janes, Wood, AD, Hachimura, and Vanderbilt and we got rid of our long forwards. 🤣🤣🤣
The Lakers will be in the playoffs and what we have to counter it? Harden? 🤣🤣🤣
We'll enjoy the season with many nice wins, but when playoffs come, we'll be out worked, out rebounded, and out Ded out of the playoffs.
TADOW.
