I'm Intuit Because Zucoin System Investments(ZSI) isn't Crypto- LA Clippers Off Season Thread

[pete clemenza]

Picked to finish #13 in the West and finished as the 5th seed. 50 wins, it was a good season.

Harden, Kawhi, Norm, and Zu laid down. Either gassed, disinterested, or both. Dunn and Simmons both unplayable. Rest of the guys are whatever. Laid a massive egg.

Next season: They're going to run it back with Harden, Kawhi, and Zu, but get a f*cking point guard. Stop bullsh*ting! Can't just be the "Harden System" and that's it on offense. Get a younger guard so we can go uptempo when the time calls for it and it also eliminates Harden playing 40 minutes and wearing down. Attach Norm to the 30th pick and move up in the draft. Much love to Norm, hell of a season, but his game doesn't translate to the post season. And yeah I'll say it again. Dumping KPJ and "star chasing" names in Ben Simmons was dumb and idiotic but typical of this front office. Mann is a much better post season performer than Bogdan, but whatever.

Play the f*cking kids. For the love of god cut the bullsh*t! Kobe was ready to contribute but of course we're supposed to believe in Ben Simmons and that bullsh*t move. He was unplayable! Since our draft cupboards are nearly empty, see what's up with Kobe Brown, Cam Christie, Trentyn Flowers, Pat Baldwin, and the 1st round pick we have. See if Reed Shepard can be had from Houston since he's riding the pine and they have no minutes for him whatsoever. Nice band-aid transition season, and we have a solid backbone, but start developing. Have some balls for a change and cut the shortcuts out.

3 straight seasons haven't been out the first round and you want to run it back

I don't want to run it back, but really they don't have a choice. Not getting much of anything at all for Kawhi and/or Harden. Draft pick cupboard has spider webs, Its still a 50 win team. If it isn't Giannis, then there's nobody out there that's going to save this team. Half of these stars aren't even stars anymore. Got to develop some players for a change. I'm over the Ben Simmons, Bogdanovich, Mo Bamba, type signings. And never got a backup point guard. This sh*t could be fixable depending on Lawrence Frank and Ty Lue cutting the bullsh*t and getting real with this modern NBA.

No choice really until team is in control of their picks.

KPJ??
Terrance Mann?? Playoff Performer???
Kobe Brown??

Nah brotha…none of it

1. Denver’s starters outperformed The Clippers’ starters
2. Denver outrebounded The Clippers
3. Denver outhustled The Clippers
4. Lue got outcoached by a guy in his 3rd week on the job
5. Clippers didn’t close winnable games

Typically it’s older nikkax making it happen in the playoffs. There’s an argument to be made that Russ was The Nuggets 5th most impactful player.

Nuggets were willing to live with Russ’ mistakes and The Clippers gave up on Dunn.

They HAD a point guard/backup point guard.

Unfortunately they let him go because Harden.

They're not star players fam. I'm talking about in their roles on the team. Dunn and Simmons was unplayable out there. Hell Bogdan was unplayable most of the time. That's three main guys on the bench. Guys that we were supposed to lean on but had to ditch them midway through the series. Yes the playoffs are for the vets and Harden, Norm, and the likes didn't show up half the time, but our bench was way below average in this series. I'll entertain Lue getting outcoached, but the front office is just awful too me.

Westbrook was long gone. They wanted Simmons to be the backup point guard, but him not facing the basket on offense and the defense not guarding him killed the experiment. But these are the name brand flameouts the front office is always trying to sell us on. Anybody remember Mo Bamba? Feels like a lifetime ago.

I literally gave the reasons they lost and none of those people were among them. I’m just saying a notoriously poor decision maker in KPJ & wing that lacks confidence to even shoot like Mann we’re not what the doctor ordered. Mann had an outlier game years ago and that was the extent of his value

Wish I had another team
In a similar cap/pick situation as a point of reference but that’s hard to come by lol

I'm not putting it all on the role players. The majority is on Kawhi, Harden, Zu, Norm, and Ty Lue.. most definitley. But Harden having to play 40 minutes a game all year long and into the playoffs is a problem breh. KPJ was the back up point guard bad play and all. You dumped him for Ben Simmons to backup Harden and he was hurt most of the time and then unplayable in the playoffs. That's f*cking huge bro in a non starter role player scenario for the team. Bogdan getting abused. Dunn and DJJ can't hit a open three. Coffey, Patty Mills, and Eubanks were out of the rotation. I'm just saying you got to get something-anything out of 2-3 of these guys at least. When I'm talking bench, I'm not talking out of this world perfromances and guys that will carry the team. I'm talking about giving Harden, Kawhi, and Zu breathers without losing a lead or going down by 15 so these star vets can close the game out in the 4th quarter. But I digress, Its water under the bridge anyway.

They pivoted away from Westbrook last off-season.

That's your point guard/backup point guard right there.

Klutch PR clouded the Clippers judgement.

He wasn't good for us last year. Props for his play in this series. It was only right he torched us. Its the Clipper way. But he threw a fit for having to go to the bench when Harden came. He's not the only point guard in the world though. So its still no excuse not to have one backing Harden up.
