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

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

This game was lost due to third quarter offensive execution. It wasn’t necessarily about made or missed shots but Denver was trapping the ball forcing The Clippers to get into their offense with like 8 seconds left possession after possession. They weren’t being decisive and the ball wasn’t moving fast enough. The come back & ending was a biproduct of that. I honestly didn’t expect to win game 5 up 3-1 anyhow.

Let’s see how it goes Tuesda

If we would've just been halfway decent in the 3rd we would've pulled this out. Dunn and DJJ bricking threes left and right. Took forever for Kawhi, Harden, and Norm to wake up. Two bad shots from Kawhi to close the game out. He's got to sneak in for a 2 pointer-easier shot on one of those possessions. I really wanted Norm to get one of those shots cause he was on fire and needed a heat check. Zu has got to get more selfish and take those shots when has a smaller player on him. Stop kicking back out to the perimeter to start up an entire new process of moving the ball around for an open shot.

This team doesn't look that hard to beat this post season like in years past. But we shoot ourselves in the foot every time. Had a golden shot to close the door on Tuesday who knows what will happen. -SMH

I agree. Noticeable difference in how Joker & Kawhi handled that. Second time Kawhi let Murray off the hook with the game on the line

Pathetic. On countdown until we get our picks back. Everything should be on the table this off-season.

With Norm back we have a Big 4 and will be extremely tough to beat. Good rotations, good staggering of Harden and Kawhi. Zu ballin'. Norm making a comeback at the right time. Dunn and Batum stellar. DDJ, positive Ben Simmons minutes. What's not to like. Denver on the other hand is running strictly off Jokic and Murray power and not much else. If this continues they'll be gassed by game 4. I was at the game and Intuit Dome is a dream come true for the franchise. Amazing. Literally built for the playoffs.

Ngl, I feel for you clemenza.

This team really built up your hopes again like that.

Last night was the perfect time for that fukk boy Harden to carry

Kawhi gave them 20. He wasn't dominant but still gave them something so it was set up perfectly for Harden to come through, right?

WRONG!

This guy had 11 pts and looked like total shyt

Jesus

Clippers stay Clippin

We're running "The System" and now it looks like we take on whatever personality "The System" is going to play like. Had this team on the ropes arguing and second guessing themselves after game 3 and just laid down the last two games like they wanted no more parts of this series. Russ having better numbers than Harden, Norm, and Kawhi is problem. Lue not putting any defenders in the final play of game 4 for that Gordon alley-opp is looming larger and larger. Its either Cancun or fight for a game 7 tomorrow

One more game left to get it to a game 7. I'll have some trade options if we don't make it to the next round.

For the record if Russ shoots like that again I don’t see a path lol

I would go 5 out when Jokic sits and mix up Zones when he’s in. Their rebounding isn’t being offset with enough quickness.

There should be no scenario where Jokic is allowed to just do the the things he’s interested in

If they can get to game 7 they can win game 7.

Gordon alley-opp is looming larger and larger.

Was talking with friends about that and I'm sure he wanted more offense in in case the team could get another shot up. But fukk that play for OT and put in people that are going to box out.

My original pick was clips in 7. But these last two games haven't shown me that they want that.

Now or never tonight.

Zu, Simmons, Batum, Kawhi & Harden to offset their rebounding?

Zu, Simmons, Batum, Kawhi & Harden to offset their rebounding?

im not a fan of the regular starting lineup in the regular season let alone in the playoffs or against denver. 103 minutes with a -8.6 net in this series. the next 4 most used 5 man lineups all with batum/zubac or batum/simmons are +5.6, +49.9, +29.4, and +27.5. its a limited sample size so the stats can vary wildly, but also kawhi is in 7 of their 10 most used 5 man lineups in this series. once again the only negative lineup of those 7 is the regular starting lineup.

denver's starting lineup is +10.5 in this series. their next 4 most used lineups all negative. in fact only 2 of their top 10 lineups are positive. i think a change is in order to see if you can put a dent against denver's best lineup advantage or potentially beat their best lineup.

Hated the prevent offense late in the 4th. Thank god Norm hit that three to put it away. Instant results swapping Dunn out with Batum. Why did he wait until game 6 for this to happen? I get not showing your entire hand, but come on. Kawhi, Harden, and Norm balled out. Zu with the D on Jokic and a good minutes from DJJ.

Game 7!! Anything can happen. Hopefully Harden isn't too gassed. Batum as a starter might be the magic elixer and I got a feeling Kawhi the Killer is going to show up on Saturday. Let's Go!!

Let me tell you how deep this shyt runs

Last time Kawhi finished a series?
Game 7 blowout vs Denver in 2020

Game 7 blowout vs Denver in 2025

2020 the series was in hand until Marcus Morris antagonized Paul Milsap in game 5. Clippers went on to lose the series they were up in vs Denver

2025 Harden & Christian Braun get into it in Game 4. Clippers go on to lose a series they were up in vs Denver

It was cool seeing Kawhi play tho. I’m good on the big expectations for this team going forward though



I’m not staying up late messing with these nikkax no more!
