All those 4s 5s and 6s in the W/L column, are we seeing a semblance of parity at last?

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Wesley Johnson is taking a dump all over the Spurs. Too bad Austin Rivers is getting enough minutes to ensure that we don't win this game.

[D-Wade]

Dwyane Wade is still a special shotblocker :wow

[DAF86]

Austin Rivers is fucking us like always son. Why does he always get it hard for us? Any idea?

[Clipper Nation]

Austin Rivers is fucking us like always son. Why does he always get it hard for us? Any idea?

Just wait. He'll play some matador defense down the stretch, maybe choke a few free throws, and lose us the game.

[Darth_Pelican]

AD & Boogie doing it big tonight. Nice to be 6-5 before Rondo debuts in a couple weeks.

[140]

:lol wizards

[Clipper Nation]

Jahlil Okafor is straight trash.

[Clipper Nation]

CP0, like his buddy Kobe, already looking for the next generational big man to carry him :lol

[DAF86]

Porzingod clutching it up on the Garden.

[Clipper Nation]

Even when Austin's making his shots, his game is unwatchable. Just like his dad's "coaching," he's a throwback to all the worst aspects of :lol yesterday's NBA.

That turd is yours son, don't try to move it to our side of the line :lol

[Clipper Nation]

He may be a 2010s player, but his jab steps, ballhogging and chucking are straight out of the '90s :lol

[Clipper Nation]

:lmao God, the nepotism gets more shameless by the game. We've done nothing but showcase Austin Rivers heroball this entire second half, and the scoreboard says it all. Pathetic.

[StrengthAndHonor]

I knew the Clippers early success was a fluke. I still have the team missing the playoffs, sadly. Griffin also tapped the Kardashian curse, so yeah, I expect him to miss a good chunk of the regular season.

[Clipper Nation]

Doncic will look good in a Clipper uniform, tbh. Hopefully Doc will finally be fired this offseason and we can bring in a real coach to develop him.

You need your Point God back, tbh. When is he returning?

I have faith in West. He needs to blow this team up, with Griffin being the obvious exception. The whole dynamic is not going to work. Griffin has a few years left at this level, if Jerry can somehow lure Lebron to the Clippers, OMG.

January '18.

I don't think the roster is totally unsalvagable. There's actually quite a bit of talent on this team. It's just impossible to win very many games with Doc's "coaching" and Austin getting showcased for 30+ minutes a game like he's a superstar. Since Ballmer seems to be okay with wasting another season on Doc and Austin's nepotism, at least we'll get a nice lottery pick out of it.

[spursistan]

Thunder have entered "this experiment-might-be-doomed" territory..While George hasn't looked great, the Melo acquisition was probably the overkill..

[spursistan]

losing to the shitty Kings :lol..

Lol at anyone having this team as 3rd seed in the West..They have no bench and their Big 3 is composed of star players of ball-hoggers variety..

[Cry Havoc]

They aren't the problem.

Westbrook is. He infects every single player who comes to OKC, especially if they're scorers.

I was mocked in the past on ST for saying no team will ever win a title with Russ as a top 3 player. He's the biggest me-first player since Kobe and maybe even moreso.

Dipo last year with OKC:
15.9/4.3/2.6 in 33.2 mpg on splits of .442/.361/.753
Dipo this year with the Pacers:
23.8/4.3/3.8 in 32.5 mpg on splits of .480/.446/.860

And the refrain last year in OKC was that they had no other scorers to help shoulder the burden from Russ. :lmao

They won't get to savor that over-.500 feeling for long, Rondo will see to it.

Yes, we know you really hate Westbrook. Unfortunately for your agenda, anyone who's actually watched their games knows that he's been playing more unselfishly than ever, trying to make this team work. Melo is the problem. He's delusional about his game and is jab-stepping, isolating and chucking all game like he's the star.

Oladipo is putting up big, empty stats on a rebuilding team with no pressure at all. His volume is higher than ever before: his 17.1 FGA per game and 30.4% usage rate are both far ahead of his career averages in those categories. High volume + rebuilding team nobody cares about + no pressure = empty stats... it's as simple as that. If it's Westbrook's fault, then explain why Oladipo sucked in Orlando before ever playing with Westbrook.

Lol a 22 year old scoring 18ppg sucks in your eyes. Fucking hilarious.

I guess it's melos fault that Russ shot 7/21 against the worst team in the west, or is shooting 60% from the line this year.

[Clipper Nation]

Lol a 22 year old scoring 18ppg sucks in your eyes. Fucking hilarious.
He scored 18 empty points per game on a 25-win team, on mediocre efficiency. The following year, he plummeted to only 13 points per game on 37% shooting as a starter. They had to move him to the bench to get any productivity from him. When you're the 2nd overall pick in the draft, you're expected to be a franchise superstar, not a sixth man on a 35-win team who can't start over Evan Fournier, Elfrid Payton or Tobias Harris. There's a reason the Magic traded him after that season.

And let's not forget his rookie year, either, when he couldn't beat out Michael Carter-Williams for ROY in one of the weakest draft classes in recent memory. Giannis' emergence is the only thing stopping that draft class from being 2000-level bad.

Oladipo still isn't that good, and it has nothing to do with Westbrook. He's just chucking more than ever on a bad team that is playing at one of the fastest paces in the league. His stats are inflated.


I guess it's melos fault that Russ shot 7/21 against the worst team in the west, or is shooting 60% from the line this year.
I guess it's Westbrook's fault that Melo's -1.5 BPM so far is the worst of his career and one of the worst on the team (meanwhile, Westbrook and George are +6.1 and +1.1 respectively). Or that only 60% of Melo's minutes are with Westbrook or George, yet he's setting career lows in PPG, FG%, and OBPM and putting up his worst TS% in years while still taking about as many shots per game as Russ and PG13. The Knicks are 6-4 wthout Melo... OKC is 4-6 with Melo... hmm, really makes you think.

It's so obvious that Melo is the problem, the only way you could draw a different conclusion is if you aren't watching the games and/or you have an agenda.

Roberson is another problem, too. Even with Melo, OKC's starting lineup is significantly better with Abrines instead of Roberson.

Who has Westbrook ever made better?
