The Clippers now extend their good run from 9-2 to 10-2!
Looking more like they’ll be in the play-ins, likely replacing the Griz.

Hard to say since the schedule hasn’t been that grueling. We take every win we get, but Clippers still aren’t on par with play off contenders just yet.

Both Harden and Kawhi deserve to be all stars but no way you give a play in team 2 all stars. Kawhi probably gets the nod if he stays healthy.

He’s played most of the year, he’s gonna be an all star as long as he stays healthy rest of month.

Tbf, Miller made a massive leap this year to look like a rotational player. He’s hitting open shots, finishing around the rim, and he isn’t targeted as much defensively.

Props to Miller for his growth, but acting like he deserved minutes last year is silly. He couldn’t hit any shots, was constantly picked on, and the game was way too fast for him.

DCoop53

And most importantly he was injured to start this season, right when it was the good moment for him to gain minutes.

Best thing that could happen for all of us. If OKC had gotten another top pick to go along with the other 1st rounders they have this year, we might as well have called it for the next 5-6 years and started watching curling instead. Rookie contracts are worth so damn much for contenders. We might still be fucked, but at least we’re all on team Clippers in this regard, even OKC fans probably acknowledge this.

CrippledBanana | Canada

Tbf you can’t be an okc season without being hospitalized for your first few seasons lmao. Crazy to think but they actually have two lottery picks that haven’t even touched the court

WaffleConeHat | Hornets

35 | 11 hours ago

Absolutely absurd shotmaking by Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, and fucking Jordan Miller. Literally nothing the Hornets could’ve done better other than turn the ball over a little less, I guess. Too many wide open shots bricked, but whatever, shooting variance is a thing.

Usually when I’m frustrated watching the Hornets it’s because they’re doing something stupid and that’s why they’re losing. They didn’t do anything stupid this game and they still lost. I don’t know how this team is supposed to win.

Those 3s that Kawhi was hitting the 3rd were absolutely absurd. Could not have been guarded closer and he was just hitting them anyways.

WaffleConeHat | Hornets

19 | 11 hours ago

This loss is more frustrating to me than anything recently.

I want to feel good about this team and how good they’re playing recently and then fucking Kawhi Leonard comes in and hits the most bullshit shots possible back-to-back-to-back. I just want them win like four games in a row for once, is that too much to ask for?

Niceguydan8

16 | 11 hours ago

To be fair LaMelo was basically doing the exact same shit in that timeframe.

WaffleConeHat | Hornets

7 | 11 hours ago

Not to the same extreme, and the Clippers also have Harden giving them 32.

shangalang69 | Raptors

5 | 10 hours ago

tbh you should be happy they didn’t do all that dumb shit and lost like a competent team, wins and losses are secondary to that when you’re a young team

WaffleConeHat | Hornets

7 | 10 hours ago

I’m just annoyed because the Hornets have been playing great for the last month and they still can’t win more than two games in a row. They also keep losing every single close game they’re in and it’s almost more frustrating than just losing by 30.

The longest win streak this team has had the last two seasons was three in row, once, last season. We blew out the Thunder and we still can’t win three games in a row.

kawhi is a all star starter at this point

first team all nba might be in the cards if the cilppers get to a top 7 seed

Kennyc1234 | Wizards

2 | 42 minutes ago

I mean he’s definitely playing at a 1st team all nba level but I doubt he makes it because of the 65 game rule. He’s already missed 10 games this season which means he would have to miss 7 or less games in the next half of the season, which knowing Kawhi’s history is unlikely.

Beleiverofhumanity | Clippers

27 | 11 hours ago

Kawhi did that in basically 25 mins lol, awesome to see both stars having great games. Sidenot ugly offense by Collins but man was hustling for those rebounds/blocks

Cp3 really was the issue huh. Dude was such an arse hole he was tanking a good team and played himself out of a retirement tour lol

brnccnt7

13 | 11 hours ago

Most of this sub was on his side because they hate the Clippers lol

Ignoring the signs and CP3’s reputation

There was a reason even his closest teammates like Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan didn’t like him either

He’s a great player but a menace to play with and to coach

Everyone calls him a know it all and that just doesn’t work on a team full of veterans and a veteran coach

kingmapoon123

10 | 11 hours ago

That type of leadership also depends on not being one of the worst players in the league as well. Which cp3 was this season

brnccnt7

7 | 10 hours ago

True

He’s just one of those guys who can’t ever turn that part off, he’s never going to be content with just riding the bench on any kind of farewell tour

Bro had to grill the players, coaches, front office, etc lol

Legal-Maize-2784 | Clippers

17 | 10 hours ago

The way the Hornets have been playing lately I was actually worried about this game. Glad we won. James moving up the all time list and Kawhi still in monster form even on a bum ankle. Jordan and Kobe were both great today especially Miller.

Shoutout to Collins for those huge rebounds down the stretch, man is the only athetlic dude we have now that DJJ is sidelined.

vb90

He was part of he Kawhi/Lopez/Miller minutes, which were basically a rampage by the Clippers. Brook defended the rim like a beast as well.

Collins had some clutch plays too.

What happened to Zu? I pay much attention to the clippers, but I remember him playing really well last season

RainRainPurpleRain

4 | 10 hours ago

No more Norm Powell changed the spacing and significantly harmed Zu’s game. Plus he’s been a just been off on both ends compared to last year. Definitely seems like a slump/ fit issue rather than a permanent decline.

GabrPG

2 | 10 hours ago

He played almost at AS level last season. Now? He’s a shadow of it. Hard to explain, likely a mental issue.

tacodude64 | San Diego Clippers

1 | 11 minutes ago

I saw a stat that he’s the most doubled player (per touch) in the NBA. He never gets the single postup anymore because he’s not fast enough to beat the double team. Now he can only score in pick and roll which Kawhi doesn’t like and Harden is using less this year. Kawhi plays way better with Lopez because he draws the rim protector out of the way, Zubac and his defender always clog the lane. Powell was also really important spacing in Zu minutes (elite corner 3s) and he hasn’t been replaced.

Someone please trade for Zu before he’s no longer worth a FRP. His former backup, Diabate, absolutely punked him, and once again Ty had to bench him in a 2nd half because of his poor performance.

Hornets wouldn’t have won if LaMelo had Harden’s whistle but it would have been closer. Clippers are just a better team right now, but at least there is hope for the future

michaelalex3 | Hornets

12 | 11 hours ago

I felt like the refs were pretty fair. Only thing that really bothered me was Harden pushing off, but he’s been doing that since the dawn of time.

tandtz | Hornets

1 | 11 hours ago

Refs were completely fair. Whatever Scott Foster was paid to do, he didn’t have to work for.

It was just noticeable that they both got into the paint in very similar ways in very similar volume but Melo shot 0 fts

The Los Angeles Clippers (16-23) defeat the Charlotte Hornets (14-26), 117-109 behind Kawhi and Harden combining for 67 points.
