I was telling everyone that I can’t imagine the playoff picture without them, this team always refuses to die. Every year this happens. Age was the only thing that can kill em and it doesn’t seem like their time yet once again

BrokenClxwn | Carmelo Anthony

Agreed. Should be interesting to see where they end up in the final standings. As of now, I would not want to be matched up against these guys in the first round

InTheMorning_Nightss | San Diego Clippers

1 | 29 minutes ago

Honestly, it’s even more unimaginable how they turned it around to this level.

Like it wasn’t just pure bad lack (though injuries played a role) to start the season. We honestly looked like shit. Couldn’t shoot, no offensive grove, constantly lost on defense, turnovers everywhere, etc. It’s like if the dumbest kid in class started acing all their tests.

Our defense was on point this game led by Kris “the Dunngeon” Dunn

SoulReaper12 | Celtics

Yeah I don’t see the Clippers trading Zubac now.

KL2ConspireLLC | San Diego Clippers

-6 | 3 hours ago

I hope they at least listen to offers. Clippers still need more ball handling, shooting, and they need another 6’8-6’10 athlete more than Zu. Zu wouldn’t get back all that but they have to fill some of those needs somehow.

Beast-2

6 | 3 hours ago

Besides Brook Lopez and Zubac is there another decent center on the team?

Could be like when Houston traded Capela, PJ Tucker became the center and they got exposed in the playoffs immediately.

KL2ConspireLLC | San Diego Clippers

-2 | 3 hours ago

They need to give Niederhäuser reps now so he can learn. He has mobility and explosive athleticism at his size that the Clippers need.

Zu is a very good center but he’s also slow and gets exposed by fast teams. Brook can replicate his rim protection is not his rebounding. The Clippers need to become more versatile.

Niceguydan8

4 | 3 hours ago

He has mobility and explosive athleticism at his size that the Clippers need.

The thing he lacks is the hardest thing for a player to develop though, he looks like a [pretty low IQ player. Look at somebody like Kobe Sanders on the team if you want an example of a young guy that still needs polish but is still pretty clearly a smart player. Yanic very clearly isn’t that.

KL2ConspireLLC | San Diego Clippers

-3 | 3 hours ago

You could’ve said the same about Moussa and look at his now. Young players need a chance to learn.

Niceguydan8

4 | 3 hours ago

They need a chance but they also need to earn playing time. Again, look at someone like Kobe Sanders for an example of that.

Huge difference between that and Yanic having some good minutes but looking totally lost defensively way more often than not. He also misses too many lobs.

Does he have the ability to be better than old man Lopez? Yes.

Is he currently? No. Even with his limited mobility, Brook is a much better rim protector because he’s not out of position very often. He’s a smart defensive player that contests shots reasonably well.

So it’s hard to justify playing him.

KL2ConspireLLC | San Diego Clippers

-1 | 3 hours ago

The only reason Niederhäuser isn’t playing now is because he’s third on the depth chart. If they traded Zu, he would play. When Zu was out, he was playing around 20 mpg.

Niceguydan8

1 | 3 hours ago

Yeah, respectfully no shit he would play if they got rid of Zu and didn’t get another center.

You just said he needs to get reps to learn and I just don’t think he looks like the type of player that you do something like that for. Your other example, Diabete, is the same. They are decent young prospects but pretty clearly not guys you make moves around.

Yanic shouldn’t get minutes on this team unless it’s some super specific matchup OR it’s garbage time.

KL2ConspireLLC | San Diego Clippers

0 | 3 hours ago

no shit he would play if they got rid of Zu and didn’t get another center.

I mean that didn’t happen with Moussa. The Clips needed a backup center, had Moussa, but left him in G-league. They had the corpse of Ben Simmons playing backup center instead.

The fact Niederhäuser has already earned minutes in NBA games when they needed a backup already shows something.

InTheMorning_Nightss | San Diego Clippers

1 | 26 minutes ago

Clipper fans were also saying the same thing for Kabengele, Kai Jones, Kobe Brown, and BBJ.

Yanic has shown better flashes than any of those guys against bad competition, but for a team looking to win, no serious coach will throw massive minutes at a guy who everyone agreed looks “basketball young.”

At absolute best, he’s equivalent to Jaxson Hayes today, which…. Isn’t a good thing.

duplicatesnowflake | Clippers

1 | 5 minutes ago

There’s no tanking til 2030. Zu is probably the least tradable asset unless you’re talking about a massive deal for a replacement superstar. Selling high on Kawhi and Harden makes a lot more sense at their ages and salaries (and Kawhi’s injury history).

2 from .500 after looking like a trainwreck

Longjumping_One_9164 | Thunder

3 | an hour ago

Honestly its absolutely remarkable, considering not just the record, but how bad the team was actually playing.

Everyone knew they should be better, but they just were…really bad.

At this point they may even finish as high 7th (through the Play in).

ProphetPenguin | Clippers

2 | 42 minutes ago

They can easily make 6th and avoid the play-ins entirely. They can still tie the Suns, they can own the tie-breaker with the Lakers, they can own the tie-breaker with the Blazers, they can own the tie-breaker with the Wolves still, they can own the tie-breaker with the Rockets still.

Lots of ins for them to make it to the 6th seed at least but they’ll have to continue playing well.

Longjumping_One_9164 | Thunder

1 | 36 minutes ago

I mean they could technically get to 6th, but to pass PHX / MIN with a 5.5 game lead would be a pretty big ask with less than half the season.

Easier to climb the rankings lower down.

No doubt if the keep a 15-3 winning pace they would, but not sure how sustainable that will be.

InTheMorning_Nightss | San Diego Clippers

1 | 19 minutes ago

Their schedule in February is absolutely brutal, and I’d be shocked if they manage to be anywhere near 15-3 in their next 18 games.

DJJ coming back will be nice, and I’m guessing we’re gonna do something with Bogi trade wise, but re-integrating guys will also cause some hiccups.

penpen35 | Clippers

I’d hope we’d get 6th just to guarantee our pick doesn’t become one that goes to the lottery.

InTheMorning_Nightss | San Diego Clippers

1 | 17 minutes ago

Tbf, LAC was looking horrendous despite having the same exact roster in many ways, which justifiably has fingers pointed at the coaching staff.

We turned it around in large part because CP3/Zu/Batum was a horrendous lineup, and when Lue was forced to actually trust the young guys, they came up big.

He must’ve had a chip on his shoulder for being snubbed in the rising stars game

I’m not sure how big of a snub he was. Only guy I’d say he might be better than is Fears, but I think that’s a total coin toss

MmotosumoO | San Diego Clippers

The Clippers defense in the third suffocated the Jazz and they couldn’t claw their way back. Like the announcers said (I think it was Jamal Crawford) - the jazz needed a bigger lead.

S/o to The Dunngeon Master for 5 steals, 3 in the third quarter alone on Lauri

Worse day ever

The Los Angeles Clippers (22-24) defeat the Utah Jazz (15-32), 115-103 behind Kawhi Leonard’s 21p/7r/4a as the Clippers win 16 of their last 19 games! The Clippers are now tied for 9th in the West after starting 6-21.
