The new FO wanted to see Willie in action, which I think was fair. There was an outside chance that simply swapping Griffin for Dumars was all that was needed.

As for health, the improvement was always going to be delayed:

Giving Willie Green a shot to see him in action is like me going to visit my Grandma to see if shes ready to run a marathon. She’s dead.

The Pelicans have some juice after all. This team goes as DJM goes. When his energy is up, the rest of the roster follows.

And so does the fanbase.

LAC really missed Mathurin, but they got super flat starting in the 2nd and couldn’t get into it.

They also shot themselves in the good every team they had any momentum. 7 point game and DJJ fires off a 3 instead of dumping it to a wide open BroLo in the paint. Get a key stop and Dunn launches it down court to an interception.

Jimmy0034 | Clippers

Pelicans only remember how to shoot against us, it wont be pelicans game without them shooting over 40% from 3s

daybreaker | Pelicans

For some reason, you and the Kings.

14-6 vs the Clippers in our last 20.

13-7 vs the Kings.

Over that time frame (pretty much exactly 5 years), we’ve basically averaged 8-12 vs everyone else.

Jimmy0034 | Clippers

Guess who coached us in those games? Im pretty sure we have had all type of players during that time

AnotherStatsGuy | Pelicans

But not like this. Usually when we get outscored like that in the 1st, we don’t have it tied by halftime.

Kawhi has to go for 40+ just to stay competitive and even that won’t be enough. Wtf is with people hyping this Clips team up? I just don’t see it. 5 years since they made it out of round 1 and have a meh roster and people hype this team up to be a “darkhorse” in the west.

Ok-Tree4365

3 | 14 hours ago

One or two people call them a “dark horse” and they get downvoted because no one actually believes it, including Clippers fans. But with Kawhi playing injured, Mathurin out, and Lopez being way too overworked, they have not been a good team for the past week or so. The reason people were giving them respect before that is they had the best record in the league for more than two months (tied with San Antonio).

People keep deluding themselves into thinking “this time will be different” each season. But as a wise man once said “They are who we thought they were”

zggystardust71 | Clippers

3 | a day ago

Well, .500 was fun for a minute. Losses to the Pels and the Kings in our last 3 games. F&#k.

They’d better sweep the rest of this road trip.

We just finally got healthy, this is probably a play-in team if it weren’t for all the injuries early in the year

Rumpdebump | Pelicans

2 | a day ago

I owe Dumars an apology if this team goes on a tear and Milwaukee has to give up the pick instead. Almost threw it away in the 1st with all the turnovers, but what a turnaround in the 2nd! Murray once again giving stability in pg, thank God. If you squint hard enough, you can see Karlo becoming that ever-elusive stretch big the team has always wanted to pair with Z on the horizon. Lets do it again tomorrow! Pels Healthy League Fucked

So, where does the Thunder’s Pick end up if the Clippers flame out? The whole west may want to have them quartered if it goes top 3…

SmileyPiesUntilIDrop | West

2 | a day ago

If the Clippers somehow lose every game for the rest of the year,the pick they give to OKC is most likely at best 12th-13th and like low single digit percentage chance it becomes a top 4 pick.

_theghost_ | Lakers

1 | a day ago

True, but if they flame out in the play-ins and the pick is unprotected, it could pull a ²⁰²³⁄₄ Hawks or a ²⁰²⁴⁄₅ Mavs and go first.

Injured Kawhi + no Mathurin (or YKN) is a bad recipe, and Lopez probably should be resting right now, too.

He’s too one dimensional. Drive left. Spin right if left is clogged. Thats all he can do in a half court set.

The New Orleans Pelicans (23-46) defeat the Los Angeles Clippers (34-34), 124-109.
