Defensive sieve he and his friend Montrez but trez atleast is decent help and his roll is important.

If they trade Sweet Lou that would be dumber than when the Lakers did. Have you seen his contract? It does NOT match his production.

I hope they do trade him tho. :tu

We need to find a new coach first. I thought we'd be a second-round exit, but now I'll be shocked if we win even one playoff series.

He's almost finished as an impact player and is often a liability nowadays, but his contract is good value. Rivers just has to know to limit him when he's hurting them.

It probably won't matter, though, the other contenders have worse flaws. The only team in the West that could challenge them is Houston and you know how that story ends in the playoffs:lol

Interesting to see Lebron befriending Montrez. Lebron always does this with his rivals. He did this with the Warriors when he became friends with Draymond. It's obvious he does this to get inside information on his rival.

From reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/LAClippers/comments/ek4msn/_/#bottom-comments)


- Ngl the body language between our 4 best players hasn't seemed that good in games(not just this one, and even in wins). At least to my eye. This just confirms it. Locker room issues rarely start with role players.

They seem to be separated by 2s Kawhi/PG and Trez/Lou.

Really hate to say it but someone important might get traded and it ain't gonna be Kawhi or PG.

- You can definitely tell something up with Montrezl especially if you look at the new years plane photo.

- It’s been going on since the first (bleep) game

- Not saying I want it to happen, I really don't.

But u cant really deny that the body language hasn't seemed great?

Kawhi/PG have gotten quite clearly frustrated at Trez/Lou on the def side a lot of times this year. Kawhi even mentioned today that def rotations are a big issue and who messes up on those a lot?

That alone wouldn't be concerning, just something Ive noticed happen a lot. But with Trez talking about a locker room issue to the media(which should be kept inside), that's a lot more concerning for me.

- Yea I saw their body language the whole game. Don’t seem like they like each other. From when they walked out the tunnel they don’t speak at all to each other . . Somebody most def getting traded

- Kawhi has been frustrated with the defense since the first week of games and not much has changed. Trez is a turnstile.

- He’s [Montrez is] gone

More from reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/LAClippers/comments/ek3qvh/i_miss_last_years_team/#bottom-comments)


Last year's team was so fkn fun to watch i only missed a handful of games.This year I've missed more games than i care to remember. Last year every game was an adrenaline rush and this year its like we are just waiting for the playoffs to "turn on the switch." Problem is I don't think this team even knows where the switch is.

- I dunno. Kawhi wasn't the problem last season it was mostly Toronto being very inconsistent and just watching the guy iso. But when Kawhi sat out things went smoothly, especially against lottery teams. I could sleep well knowing they'd take care of business and blow out lottery teams no problem. The man is going through a slump this season (his career worst I think) so Kawhi fans are going to take Ls until the playoffs arrive where there are still no guarantees with how badly he's shooting now. We can only hope tbh

Even up to Feb Toronto did fairly well but it was only until Marc Gasol came when things started to really click so I hope the Clippers get a player to cancel out this chemistry funk like Toronto did.

- The FO did a commendable job rebuilding the team on the fly. The roster they put together from the scraps of Lob City was amazing.
This, however... This is not the Master Plan they had in mind. The team was built to just plug in Leonard and go. But this isn't working. This team gave away its future, so if they don't do something this year, it will all have been a massive waste.

Trez and Lou have been major sieves. So bad at defense. Lou even worst because trez can compete if hes focused.

They need to trade both or one of them.

As much as i enjoy watching Loadnard, Regular Season P and Lou Harden fall in the standings, i wouldn't put too much stock in these losses, they're meaningless really. We all know if they actually gave a shit about the regular season, they wouldn't let the grizzlies drop 140 on them in LA.

Is it just me or is the Clips depth overrated? Like when Lakers struggle without AD or Lebron. "See they're too top heavy!" When Clippers struggle without Kawhi and/or PG13. "They only lost because they didn't have their best players playing." Like Clippers are hugely reliant on Kawhi and PG13 just like Lakers and Rockets are hugely reliant on their duos. Honestly, I think Bucks should be the favorite. Giannis only plays 31 minutes a game. They're not overly reliant on their superstar like Lakers, Clippers and Rockets are.

I predicted that his teammates who bust their humps everyday at practice and don't take games off are not really fans of "load management" and would privately loathe the Fun Guy Clipper Nation. Now their dirty laundry is public.

He demanded they go get Paul George and Mo Harkless, at the expense of draft pick capital. He dictates when he will load manage. I bet like Kobe (in his 15th year; except Fun Guy is only in his 8th), he picked and chose when, if, or how much he'd practice. Then in games he gets up however many shots he wants. I'm sure his teammates just loves that. :lol

And then Trez went blabbing to the media. I actually thought it would be Somali :lol

The Clippers FO, who the mediots lauded all summer, has their work cut out for them. Gonna be interesting to see how they :downspin: this. And Fun Guy can't be too happy about Trez going public either, like this. Where there's smoke, there's fire.

This team reminds me of the 2000 Trail Blazers.

The locker room problems have nothing to do with Kawhi. It's Doc.

The Big Three Celtics had locker room drama. The Lob City Clippers had locker room drama. Now this year's Clippers have locker room drama. The one common denominator? Doc.

Doc's had a very convenient run of players getting all the blame for his underachievement. It's time for him to start getting some blame.

Although Doc is the common denominator, he isn't the sole reason why there may be locker room issues. From LG:

Easy to see why they would be having issues.

Leonard to Lou and Harrell - "you guys need to give more effort on defense"

Leonard when he feels like it - "I'm going to sit this one out cause load management"

I would be pissed as a teammate too

Truth bombs. And I think Trez was subtle with his critique of Kiwi and PG when he talked about the "two new guys that were not here last year" and "a guy" who won a championship with another team. Some of that stuff should have stayed in house but he let it out, to my delight :)
