Like what do you say to your players after losing the first 2 home games?

"If you ask real nicely the team across the hall might take you for the MLE this summer" ?

There is a possibility that this was the last Clippers home game until October/November

Not going to gloat because our team hasn't exactly been setting the world on fire, but this has been a real good day for Lakers fan.

I mean, Doc was a problem for them though. A good chunk of their playoff short comings was because Doc wouldn't adjust at all.

Horrible tweet. Paul George and Kawhi did what they had to do. Combined for 69 points and both shot over 50%.

The main issue is role players struggling and they need to change their defensive strategy

Kawhi career gonna go out with a whimper. Dude peaked right at his prime. Then went full prima donna

Lotta book still to be written by him though

Problem is Ty Lue in my opinion. I’ve said it before but he’s not a great coach.

Now I’m not 100% on this but neither Kawhi nor PG had significant major injuries this season. And for them to end up 4th in the West?

What the hell is actually going on in Clipper land? Choke last season and now almost a first round exit?

He just need sign with Miami and help us compete with Brooklyn next season

Not basing this on any real information at all.

But I think Miami would be the ideal spot for him for multiple reasons.

I don’t think Ty Lue is great either.

But Doc was the scapegoat last year.

This is probably the most talented team in the NBA. They made a coaching change and have now had 2 coaches who have both won titles as HC’s in other spots. Meanwhile Doc has the 6ers on the very short list of title favorites.

At some point, you have to blame the players and the organization for what seems to be a rotten culture.
