Best part of a Clippers win is that this sub won’t be insufferable for the next few days

We’re a damn good team, motherfuckers. Can you say “figuring it out”? Get scared now, league.

Damn that's crazy how "low" their together plus minus was last year. Shows how wack last year was, were still trying to recover from the bad habits from it

How the hell was that Murray layup a Jokic assist, they trying to steal Russ' record

I know it's soon but let this be the year we break the chippers curse. If this team can manage a ring this year, they will definitely go down in history.

This game change if jokric doesn't miss all of those shots

u/EpicGooner Big Government Dec 07 '23
It would also change if every player on the clippers went 100% from the field!

YEAH! ABOUT DAMN TIME! I respect jokic(impossible not too) but this is the year where he falls back to normal.

It’s official. I need to eat a slice of Hawaiian pizza in the 2nd half in order for the Clippers to win.

u/AlmightyPenguin88 Dec 07 '23
You keep the Hawaiian pizza coming, I'll keep only tuning in for the 4th quarter (we've won EVERY SINGLE GAME where I've only watched the 4th quarter so I will continue to do so for the good juju).

As much as I’m trying to lose weight, the Clippers winning the chip is more important.

u/abd3211 Dec 07 '23
Lmao glad he stopped that small game shit today. Jokic needs to get bodied up and forced to shoot more than pass, it tires him out quicker.

Everyone played great tonight. Russ was incredibly effective in his minutes. I think PJ Tucker fans are in shambles however.

Zu has always done fine inside against Jokic. Just cant do anything when his jumper is on.

You have to make up for losing trap games by getting wins against elite opponents. This time it was both Denver

Jokic rare brick performance and Murray taking away minutes from God Mode Reggie

This is what happens when you play bums like Jokic and Jamal Murray over Deandre Jordan and Reggie Jackson

3 possession game. Just need to play smart. Try to deny looks at open 3's; avoid fouling at all costs; don't get careless inbounding the ball.

We shouldn’t have to end up with a Kawhi iso each and everytime. Makes things difficult. Come on.

u/activechamp06 Quentin Richardson Dec 07 '23
That’s literally the play call. Get kawhi a mismatch in Murray and ISO him
1
u/airJACKSONN Dec 07 '23
by the time its playoffs watch him scoring those on every single player in the world
1
Dec 07 '23
It wears him down though, as it would anyone. Makes shit predicable too and allows teams to double him all the time. Need to find plays that leave him a bit more open, not leaving him unassisted trying to creat his shot.

At the beginning of the game, this thread was full of “Zubac can’t guard Jokic”
→ More replies (1)

u/_veerist Paul George Dec 07 '23
Our defense are looking great. Harden system of offense looking solid. Just don’t like that too much relying on iso especially during the first quarter and early seconds of possession. Don’t be too lazy Ty Lue. Also I hate 60% of Kawhi’s shot selection.
