Damn clippers definitely came up big time. You son of a bitch jerry.

Can't believe I'm going to actually be rooting for the Lakers to win the west. :vomit:

If you want the Clippers to lose, cheering for the Rockets is your only hope in the West, which is even worse than cheering for the Lakers:lol

No way I'm ever cheering for Harden in the playoffs. Not because I hate him or anything, but because what's the fucking point when you know he's going to shit the bed anyways?

I agree, but they're the only team in the West that matches up decently against them IMO.

Milwaukee is our best hope overall, of course.

omg he's gonna climb that wall

[DMC]

:lmao you can't pay a motherfucker enough to get him to San Antonio. I'm not sure any flights go there anymore.

[monosylab1k]

Don’t love the fit tbh. He’s a good insurance policy if Kawhi or PG get hurt, but can you imagine a playoff game where Morris takes the ball and iso’s the entire possession away while Kawhi/PG just stand and watch with “WTF” looks on their faces? And that will happen multiple times every playoff game unless Doc benches him.

Hopefully not being stuck on the shitty Knicks anymore will be enough to keep Morris focused. He does improve our spacing quite a bit. Even though Harkless is a decent shooter, opposing teams still wouldn't guard him. That's not going to happen with Morris.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Redundant IMO. I guess they're gonna go with Kawhi, George and Morris as the 2-3-4 basically positionless with one PG and one big guy?

[TDfan2007]

This season, Morris has been a homeless man's Kawhi (fitting that he played that role on the Knicks). Having him on your team as a role player hasn't really worked out for anyone up to this point, tbh

[TD 21]

It's a no brainer move, but it does introduce another big ego, volatile personality into the mix of a team that already has questionable chemistry and a best player who's ill-equipped to manage a room like this.



If you want the Clippers to lose, cheering for the Rockets is your only hope in the West, which is even worse than cheering for the Lakers:lol

As poorly as the Lakers matchup, they're still the best hope because they have two true superstars and even though James is clearly in decline, it's possible he still has another gear in reserve for the playoffs.

They'll also probably end up with Collison and maybe someone like Marvin Williams or Harkless, if they're bought out.

Kwas' not having any of that chit.

Plus it's a contract year for MeMorris.
Excellent move by scammer West.

[Chris Fall]

Odds on Morris and Harrell fighting each other during an actual game?

[Killakobe81]

Clips are definitely the faves but not a golden state with KD one...

[Chris Fall]

Feels like Clippers did this so the Lakers wouldn't get him. Not a fan of moves made because of another team, and not your own team needs. To me, the guy they should have tried to get who got dealt was Dieng. They needed more size and depth at center. And Dieng has developed into a very good three point shooter in his own right.

Morris still helps. But I feel like Dieng could have been a better addition.

imo i was more worried if they got a guy like Myles Turner

You should be.

Still have the buyout market. Wouldn't be shocked if they land Tristain Thompson, Taj Gibson, or Marvin Williams.

congrats mein negar, big time move by a big time consultant.

[Clipper Nation]

FWIW, Thompson isn't getting bought out.

The Clippers, Celtics and Heat will be all over the buyout market too. Personally, I'm skeptical any of the players available will make much of a difference besides Collison and Marvin Williams (and even they're not sure bets). NBA buyout season is one of the most overrated aspects of pro sports.

Agreed, but the Clippers just need a situational big that can play 5-10 mins in certain matchups like against MIL.

[phxspurfan]

Crazy how Lakers didn’t want to give up Kouz. This may bite them in the ass, especially if somebody gets an owie

Kawhi's haters are just sniffers who don't want to admit that Pop ruined the Spurs, tbh.

[Arcadian]

The Bucks are going to win the championship this year. They were supposed to win last year until they got Klaw'd. They'll be extra motivated to take it back. Would be cool to see Clippers vs. Bucks in the Finals.

True true

[Arcadian]

^They're not mutually exclusive. It's possible to hate both Pop and Kawhi. Personally, I'd root for the Clippers over the Lakers because I still prefer Kawhi over Lebron.

I agree with this.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lakers going after morris, when they already have 3 bigs on the team in coward, tranny, dmc?

[DMC]

Clippers getting their shit pushed in by a scrub team. Meanwhile the Raptors just won their franchise record 14th straight. Yeah Kawhi is a difference maker.

The Raptors have Nurse. We have the worst coach in pro sports.

The Raptors value defense. We make sure to play all our worst defenders together for long stretches of time.

:lmao Nurse is the latest flavor of the month, great white hope media creation (since he buddied up to some of the big wigs, which helped his unethical ass steal Casey's job).

Every time some team that plays the media game rises to prominence, they crown them and brainwash the gullible masses into thinking they've discovered some secret sauce, when the truth is the majority of this is luck.

There's no greater example than them. They've fall ass backwards into an athletic, 3 and D wing/guard loaded roster, that has good chemistry and has become greater than the sum of their parts. He's the lucky beneficiary of not having to make difficult (offense/defense, big/small) decisions.

Some luck, some preparation.

[Clipper Nation]

Yeah, the Raptors' success is not luck. They have the next Jerry West in Ujiri, some of the best scouts in the business, and one of the best player development infrastructures in the league. They and the Heat are on another level from the rest of the league in developing talent.

Giannis is probably signing with the Raptors in a few years if the Bucks can't get him a ring.

Sounds like you are talking about Pop's current coaching.

:lmao People thought the Spurs had the secret sauce for 20 years . . . how smart do they look now? Then it was team "light years ahead" . . . how smart do they look now?

Shady Ujiri is on an unprecedented run of luck. He's been trying to re-build since he quit on the Nuggets, but he keeps falling ass backwards into success . . .

- Trades/salary dumps Gay for 4 spare part role players and they get significantly better
- Trades Lowry to the Knicks only for Dolan to block it
- Tries to trade DeRozan for a few years, going so far as to offer him for Wiggins
- Debates between Poeltl/Sabonis, goes with the former
- Has Anunoby fall into his lap because he tore his ACL and teams acted like it was an Achilles

Siakam and Van Vleet were flukes. As if they had any idea they'd become the players they have.

The Scumbag "trade" was the equivalent of finding a wallet with a significant amount of money in it. They were only able to pull it off because he intentionally destroyed his value and no one wanted to give up a piece that could hurt them long term. They had no such problem, plus a senile front office here that refused to re-build.

Now because of that and 5 of the Warriors top 7 players being injured, he's a genius? Give me a break.

[Clipper Nation]

:lmao People thought the Spurs had the secret sauce for 20 years . . . how smart do they look now?

The difference is that the Spurs were riding the coattails of a first overall pick who turned out to be the second-greatest player of all time. The Raptors don't have a Tim Duncan and they're still winning.

That has nothing to do with what I said.

The common denominator is actually Kawhi who is responsible for bringing the Sperms out of the dark ages & Canada ringing.

The Bronze Medalist? :lmao

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I didn't realize the Clippers had any draft picks left to trade. I thought Sam Presti owned them all.


The Clips better win it all because they won't have a draft pick to start a rebuild for the next dozen years.

Curry Green Iggy Thompsan available for most of the series. Down 3-1 with all of those homos available.
Just because the entire Bay Area Gay parade was not able to be on the road games is no reason to :cry

:lmao I hated the Warriors as much as anyone during the past half decade, but Thompson was messed up for 2/3rds of the series and missed nearly 1.5 games. Iguodala and Looney were so injured (not hurt) that they basically couldn't move, nor could Cousins, coming off a second significant injury and the best player of them all, Durant, played 12 minutes total.

All they had left was Curry, Green, the corpse of Livingston and fringe NBA players, yet they still damn near pushed it to 7. By far the most impressive accomplishment in their run.
