Those techs at the end were egregious. PG injured at the worst possible time. Ty Lue being an idiot. Playing Morris a whole fukkin quarter.

Once the new arena opens, Balmer needs to burn some sage and change the name of the franchise.
Clippers are the most snake bitten team in existence

All bullshyt aside imo Brandon Boston should be ahead of both these dudes in the rotation. Coffey seems to have regressed this season and Bones seems to be getting the hype off his cool nickname and talking bad about the Nuggets

Boston isn’t ready going either direction. Time of the year for steady
The curse was broken when we made the WCF's two years ago for the first time. If it's about a championship then half the league is cursed as they haven't won jack shyt either. The problem is "chasing new p*ssy" all the f*cking time. No shade on CP3, he's a HOF player, but he was the wrong dude to pair up with prime-run the floor-thoroughbreds in Blake and DJ. Love PG & Kawhi but we knew were on to something and on the right track with rookie SGA and the team that battled Golden State in the playoffs four years ago. It's just the decision making. Kawhi & PG are both injury prone straight up. Gotta take the good with the bad
I don't know, he was looking solid in his last couple of appearances with the main team. OKC is one star player in SGA and a bunch of Brandon Boston's & Bones Hyland's running up and down the floor with him. I don't think we would even play either of OKC's Jaylen/Jaylin Williams kids if they were on our team. They would be stuck in no man's land behind Morris Sr, Batum, Norm, Gordon, etc or on our G League team out in Ontario

Respectfully this doesn’t float. Yes the majority of teams in the NBA haven’t whiffed the success that a chosen few has but let’s not act like The Clippers haven’t had plenty of resources invested in them over a decade plus at this point. Most teams aren’t going anywhere and are allowed to languish.
On top of that this idea that SGA was a mistake in hindsight is crazy. Do you know how many guys fit the profile of a diamond in the rough that ultimately peak at so so, rotation guy or unworthy of the investment? We’re literally seeing this playing out with the young guys on The Warriors. Remember when THT was untouchable? There are so many examples. Most guys don’t go from 3&D to one of the best of a generation like Kawhi. Give credit to SGA but nobody on a schedule was expecting him to go crazy like that so nobody should be penalized for letting him go
I get what you're saying and I rarely do a hindsight 20/20 comment. Hell SGA might not even develop into the player that he is now with us as with OKC where he doesn't have to share the ball and fit in with another co-star and there's huge expectations for the team. Every Clipper fan knew there was something special about dude and that team that took the massively stacked Warrior squad to six games in that playoff series. I even had some of my Laker friends in person and also seeing online that surprisingly they liked that team cause they fought, battled, and played with heart against GS. But all we heard was how were going after Kawhi and its "Kawhi or bust" which was cool. I was down with the trade -I'm just a fan and have no say so either way- but the signs were there with SGA as a rookie starting playoff games. That wasn't no THT Laker situation.. LOL.

Doubt if PG returns but if Norm comes back and can average 20 or more per game, Mann & Russ step up, then there's a chance. But Lue's love affair with Morris, small ball, and whether or not we can get anything from Batum, Gordon, RoCo, etc. is the question and cloudy part that I doubt. Need a wildcard to emerge. Bones or Boston or whatever
Nightmare of a game last night. Lue didn't even rip that ref who did that bullsh*t. We can talk bad about Doc all day long but him letting refs slide was one thing that was not going to happen with him. Man I was a big supporter for Lue and looked past a lot of shortcomings but now I can't even defend him anymore. Zu or Plumlee in the paint would've at least made Shai resort to jumpers late in the game but Lue had the most non mobile worst defender on the floor playing center.. go figure

I would have been fine keeping SGA and building through the draft but if we do that Kawhi is not coming here. Or the front office needs to have the balls to call Kawhi’s bluff and be ok with him going to the Lakers. They had to do the deal they did. If you could have guaranteed kawhi this is what sga becomes maybe things are different but that's an impossibility.
Lue is a better coach when he has fewer options. I'd still much rather have him than Doc but his commitment to Mook is reminiscent or Doc and Trezz.
Kawhi is going to need to go nuclear the rest of the way for us to have a slim shot. Let's hope he does it.
Sprained knee, out 2-3 weeks 
Good news indeed. Still might miss the rest of the season but at least its not a ACL ,MCL, or anything like that would carry over into next season.Sprained knee, out 2-3 weeks
Agreed and Norm Powell has to be that guy as well when he comes back
