Y’all are going to make fun of the hawks for losing but you should really be paying your respects. The hawks bit the bullet and threw this game by sandbagging and not playing their 3 all stars (pretend that they were healthy) to drop the thunder lotto odds. Truly a selfless sacrifice that the other 28 teams should make as well if they have any semblance of ambition to win the next 5 years. We will take wins against the Pels, losses against the other competing tanking teams, and/or whoever gets Giannis to absolutely fleece the bucks as compensation. (Hawks have least favorable of Pels and bucks in 27 so if Giannis gets a rebuilding package and both teams stink it could be a steal)

There is a psychological element to having a chosen scapegoat and getting the toxic element out of your system. The Clippers are still a mess but they can blame it all on him and play free

I hope they can keep it up to save the NBA from OKC, but stuff like this always seems temporary. It’s like when teams fire their coach go on a run afterwards. It usually ends up being that the real problem isn’t gone, just forgotten about momentarily.

RyujiDrill

Going from Darvin Ham to JJ Reddick wasn’t a upgrade for the Lakers? Or getting Phil Jackson in 1999?

blatant_shill | Lakers

Like I said in the comment you’re replying to, it usually isn’t the fix. Almost every team that fires someone thinking it’s going to solve their problems ends up being in the exact same position in no time.

yelrik | Australia

1 | 17 hours ago

JJ Redick is a good coach, but seriously the Lakers problems were solved by Luka falling in their lap.

40yo LeBron + AD and his injury issues, even with Reaves taking this jump was maxing out at 46-50 wins again.

BackgroundShower4063

19 | 21 hours ago

I like Paul, but if the Clips actually go on a win streak, that’s going to be rough 😬

dwrek24 | Spurs

9 | 21 hours ago

Its well documented he’s not for everyone. Probably like the Westbrook thing. Some situations arent a fit. And his production can no longer make up for any personality clashes.

BackgroundShower4063

7 | 21 hours ago

Totally understandable. Playing with a bunch of vets, they likely didn’t want to get cursed out everyday by a disappointed, loud teammate.

Niceguydan8

14 | 21 hours ago

Also one that is probably just as guilty as any of the players that he’s criticizing.

I think that’s the problem. How is he going to get into somebody for not playing good defense when he can’t stay in front of anybody himself? How is he going to bitch about transition defense when he doesn’t play any? How will he bitch about basically anything on offense when he’s completely ineffective when he’s on the court offensively?

I understand it’s hard to turn off, but it’s also super hypocritical to keep that level of “leadership” when he himself was arguably the worse offender on the team of anything he would bring up.

dwrek24 | Spurs

3 | 19 hours ago

Great point.

He got away with it last year because thats what he was brought in to do and the Spurs were all young.

Its a whole different ball game on a vet team thats already pissed off about everything happening around them.

TheFestusEzeli | TOR

20 | a day ago

Clippers have an absurdly difficult schedule the next 9 games, if they somehow go on a run then they might actually have a reason to try to trade for more vets

AndSo4ourth | Clippers

18 | 21 hours ago

If we go on any sort of streak with the hellish rest of December we have, that would mean that Chris Paul was in that locker room waterboarding rookies and putting out cigarettes on people’s chests

Jimmy0034 | Clippers

6 | a day ago

Well Clippers are 10 games under 500, They got 10 games b2b, 33 games against teams above 500, 29 games away from Intuit Dome. We’re going play 18 games in March with 4 b2b games in that month. Last year 9th seed won 40 games, Clippers need to win 34 games out 60 to have 40 wins

HornedCoog91 | Nuggets

2 | 17 hours ago

If the clips can’t go 34-26 to finish they don’t deserve it…

And that sounds like they have 31 games at home. And 27 games against teams not above .500.

Lot of season left, clips have 3 less wins than 10th seed, hell- only 7 less that 7 seed (and the wolves ain’t beat nobody until spurs last game).. Will be interesting to see what the team does after this and any other change(s).

Jimmy0034 | Clippers

1 | 17 hours ago

It is the march period that make this difficult, we have old squad. I am not even counting Kawhi health issues for next 60 games and after all that they could still lose in the play-in just how they did in 2022 against wolves and pelicans

Cp3 is not the reason why they are 20th in offensive rating, 27th in defensive rating, 24th net rating, 28th TOV%, 24th defensive rebounding%, 29th in opponent 3 point %, 26th in opponent points off turnovers, 23th in opponent 2nd chance points and 29th in opponent fast break points

Fuck happened to Risacher? Dude is straight ass this year.

Thorwor | Hawks

6 | a day ago

His defense is actually really good already. But on offense he’s really suffering without having Trae around to set him up.

I’m still pretty optimistic about his long term prognosis. His handle is pretty decent and he has some moves in transition, so I think he’ll eventually be able to create for himself in the halfcourt. He’s gotta learn to be more aggressive though. You can kinda tell that he used to be a kid in a pro league who was told to just run the play rather than do any freelancing.

Sweet_Check7231

5 | a day ago

No Trae Young to get him easy looks. Same thing Dyson Daniels is going through. It’s of course going to be even worse without Johnson playing tonight as well. Risacher can finish plays but can’t really create so without an elite creator to get him the ball on cuts and wide open threes he isn’t very useful on offense.
