What's y'all thoughts on Ty Lue and Lawrence Frank? A 50 win season means they're safe and not going anywhere anytime soon. Now I've defended Lue for years, even when folks saw he road Bron's coattails to get that one championship ring and always said he was legit. But I can't lie, with all the 1st round exits and the passive quiet coaching style -and also this is me just rambling a bit- I'm starting to question his Klutch Sports affiliation like subconsciously Bron has a hand in our operations sort of. Like we're only allowed to be so good and there's a ceiling placed over us. It feels like Lue will take care of Bron before the team. Like they could be hanging out and Bron will be like.

Bron: "I know Ballmer is paying you but don't get too big over there Lue!"
Ty Lue: "Ah Bron you ain't got nothing to worry about. Its Klutch Sports to the death of us."

-Not saying this is the case, but low key its starting to feel this is the case imo. It probably wouldn't be anything to worry about if Bron was on another team in a different city, but it does feel like Lue keeps the status quo in favor of his buddy and the team he used to play for. I know Lue isn't going anywhere as of right now, but with our new arena, its time for a clean break away from the Lakers, We need real 100% separation. Lue is like a suspension bridge that keeps both land masses connected at all costs. On a couple of other Clipper boards there's fans who firmly believe without a doubt Lue is a Trojan horse for Bron and the Lakers.

Also Lue and Lawrence Frank seem to be buddy buddy but the moves we make seem as if they don't communicate with each other at all. This past trade deadline killed Lue's options, game planning, and versatility with the lineups. We've never ever had 30-45% of roster that was unplayable for the post season. I've never seen us in that position. Just my thoughts, but still, something seems off with these two guys. Its going to be an interesting off season that's for sure.

I’ve defended Lue through the years as well

This series really thrashed his rep. He was outcoached & out motivated by a substitute teacher. With that said I’m sure Joker’s voice was just as loud whereas there isn’t anyone on the court for The Clippers to match that energy

I’ve seen my share of dribble dribble hold the ball refuse to run anything until 8 seconds left in the clock possessions. Move the ball. Turnovers & wasted possessions

Honestly the Clips should be at home with their soul hurting for blowing that series. Denver should've been packed up in 5 or 6 games, but they let them hang around and the rest is history.



After having to strain and struggle with Zu you can tell Jokic is having no problem killing Chet and Ihart in the paint. He's back to putting up Wilt numbers when Zu had him under pressure, fatigued and flopping.



Just a brutal blown opportunity for the Clippers franchise.

Our bench was awful in the series.

So on the same note, if the Nuggets run through everyone else, the Clippers vs Nuggets series might be the actual WCF and we're not as far off as we think dispite the team getting way up in age. Just need to still develop some players and have a better bench going forward.

Let’s keep it real

I wanted no parts of Minnesota either. We had shown no ability to keep Ant from the rim plus their youth, size & athleticism would’ve had them like The Lakers

Nah, we got way more players than the Lakers to body them up. They got us in the regular season, but the games slows down in the Playoffs. It would be a toss up if we played them imo. Just need some good games from Kawhi, Harden, and Zu.

I disagree

Not a soul on the team had the foot speed for the kid plus for whatever reason Rudy has looked adequate in their matchups

We're so f*cking cooked. L. Frank sellin' the fanbase on open cap space in '26-'27. Why, so you can recreate the 213 Era with two more divas that don't move the needle nor have accountability and leadership:snoop: Out new slogan should be "Shortcuts, Cheat Codes, and Star Chasing under Spotlights"
