Hell of an addition to the coaching staff.Looks like JVG has the defense on the right track

He wants nothing to do with any team related things whatsoever. He just hides out in SD and that's it. During training camp Lue was quick to say this is Harden's team. How come its not Kawhi's team?
Mann is the face of everything Clipper related off court so there's that. He's on the team, but at the same time if you really peep, he's not on "the team". After the knee injury against the Jazz he was sitting in the luxury suite instead of on the sidelines with his teammates. Said nobody impressed him in Clippers training camp. Just no leadership at all whatsoever.And trust me I get it, he's a quiet introvert type that keeps to himself. Fully understood,. but that really only works when you play games and make deep playoff runs, especially here in LA. I though the city would be flooded with Kawhi jerseys around town, but this is far from the case. But if he's playing, he's a beast and of the best in the game. No denying that. But the Clipper brand hasn't really flourished with him onboard. Still rooting for the guy and hoping he returns.

1. More times than not he’s on the bench during games in recent seasons
2. He’s a part of all the photoshoots, Jumbotron b roll, new logo/jersey rollout etc.
3. He’s featured in The League’s 24-25 tip off video
I’m sure someone involved with the team can speak to what he’s MIA on…NBA Cares events? lol
Maybe nikkax involved with the team can speak intimately on the subject but until then Stephen A. is yappin
I'll back off, but you remember a guy by the name of Blake Griffin? Now that's brand promotion x100
Kawhi the better player by far tho. I just want to see him have a deep playoff run for us. That's all

Not the case anymore. Once Kobe died on the helicopter that changed cause that was also kawhis guy. The pilot was flying Kawhi to games from sd I believe.
He's not playing.How come its not Kawhi's team?
You could sign Jesus, Kendrick, and Tupac to the clippers and the city wouldn't be flooded with clippers jerseys.
The team and brand has more juice than ever before imo.

I was kind of a Mann apologist but these first two games have been bad. Mann might be a better defender than Coffey but coffeys willingness to shoot might make him more valuable. KPJ has been wack. Lets see Miller get some burn.

I'mma leave Kawhi alone. The Team USA mystery, still injured, and his trainer now suing the Clipps had me frustrated and wondering how much value he's truly brought to the team. But whatever.
-As for TMann, he needs to sit. Just come off the bench in short spurts when we need a few defensive stops. Anything more than that is a detriment to the offense. I'm trying to be patient with KPJ, but he's been awful. That minimal scoring output from Mann, KPJ, and Coffey is going to bite us in the rear end down the road if these dudes can't put the ball in hole (pause). I wouldn't mind Norm going for 30 points every game. We're going to need it. And yeah, still waiting on these Jordan Miller minutes any day now. I think Lue know's he's ready and can contribute. Its the politics of Jordan Miller stepping over Mann, Coffey, and maybe KPJ in the rotation is what he has to navigate and make sure it goes smoothly.

Zupac. The Zu haters are my least favorite segment of Clippers fans; wanting to move on from him for someone like bum ass John Collins are idiots.
Zucoin is up 
Zu is going to kick the tires on an all star selection. I think he needs to be a little more selfish. He could've backed down Draymond all game long in the paint if he wanted to. Dunn & DDJ have been great pick ups! Mann is paid, he knows his role is about to shrink. Time for him to come off the bench. Your SD native Norm has been spectacular! Keep shooting! Harden ballin'. Let's Go!

I honestly thought they'd split the b2b but I was wrong.
Defense can keep you in games long enough for the offense to put something together. I can't stress enough how happy I am to see this team play great Defense thanks to personnel changes.

Two losses in a row. Last night's loss against Portland was inexcusable. I was at the game tonight, another blow lead and awful finish. This Harden usage rate isn't going to last. Gotta incorpate Bones or Jordan Miller asap. Need another creator/scorer in the worst way possible.

Hopefully this run puts the KPJ shyt to bed.

So look…lol
Norm has been great
Dunn is a good rotational player
Zu has played well
This team is toast. I’m looking at this schedule and every game just seems like an L unless they shoot abnormally well

Either norm or harden should be in the court at all times. If this team is cooked then get Jordan Miller some burn.
