15 straight seasons of .500 or better! I’ll take it for a historically poverty franchise

deezlobs | Clippers

Clips have gone 35-17 since Ty Lue said the aim was to go 35-20 the rest of the season

0-3 incoming

i remember him saying that being memed so hard

mrhashbrown | Clippers

I am shocked they really got 35 wins. Lue and Frank did a hell of a job turning this around

sanchopanza84 | UTA

Kawhi should make All-NBA first team as the fifth guy even if both Wemby and Luka were eligible. He’s been an absolute beast all season.

iHateTinkerPickers | BOS

-2 | 12 hours ago

First Team: Shai, Wemby, Jokic, Luka…and Kawhi? I’ll put Brown or Cade over Him. Kawhi can go 2nd Team.

KL2ConspireLLC | San Diego Clippers

22 | a day ago

Game was kind of wonky but, on a positive note, the Clippers are now guaranteed to finish .500. Not too bad considering how the season began.

KennySmithsKnees | LAC

The streak is alive

DesertedProject | Mavericks

13 | a day ago

The Mavericks shot 35% from the field and 18% from 3. A masterfully pulled off tank job. We’re screwed if we don’t get a top pick in this years draft.

VictorAkwaowo1 | Mavericks

7 | a day ago

Ehh with how deep this draft is, it wouldn’t be the end of the world if we don’t get a top 4 pick. We desperately need more perimeter shooting which I hope we address that in free agency.

DesertedProject | Mavericks

3 | a day ago

Yeah that’s fair but I think if we fall past 6 we have some real trouble. We don’t own our pick till 2031? So we’re gonna need someone decent to also build with.

5-8 is generally equal talent in the prospects. Given Dallas’ defensive cast, they can easily bring in any of the guards including the defensively challenged ones. One of Acuff, Philon, Wagler, or Fleming will be available in that range, and each one is a great prospect for a PG of the future.

Resshin31 | Clippers

Kobe Sanders

InTheMorning_Nightss | San Diego Clippers

7 | a day ago

Might be a hot take, but I think LAC has to choose between Mathurin and Miller and then have Kobe as their other young guard. Likely have to go with Mathurin assuming he doesn’t demand some fat contract, but you just can’t invest in all 3 and Math/Miller’s lack of 3PT shooting makes them a tougher fit.

KL2ConspireLLC | San Diego Clippers

8 | a day ago

I think you can count on Miller and Sanders being on the team next season because they are on cheap contracts. Mathurin might end up pricing himself out.

InTheMorning_Nightss | San Diego Clippers

5 | a day ago

Oh yeah, both Miller and Sanders will be on the squad.

I’m not sure Mathurin is gonna price himself out given the fact that he’s an RFA and there’s very limited cap space to go around. He’s probably in the MLE range given this, or he takes a notably reduced QO since he didn’t hit the starter qualification.

IMO, LAC may get lucky with both Mathurin and Collins staying at a favorable price. I think you have to assume Bogi/Batum will be gone, and my lukewarm take is that one of Dunn/DJJ will be on the chopping block (likely Dunn).

Salty_Watermelon | Clippers

This Clippers team will probably get swept in the 1st round with 4 double digit losses, but I really want to get the payoff of a postseason appearance after battling back from a 6-21 record and then trading away two of our best three players.

InTheMorning_Nightss | San Diego Clippers

5 | a day ago

I’m not convinced they’ll be able to make it out of the playins. The Blazers have looked like a far better team recently, and I think Phoenix has always been a tier above us this season.

Anxious_Subject_2604

Payoff? I think getting obliterated in the first round is worse than finishing 9th.

greenwhitehell

3 | 18 hours ago

They don’t have their pick, so I’d also rather make the playoffs regardless of outcome

mrhashbrown | Clippers

1 | a day ago

I think that’s only true if that first round team gets swept. If they win at least 1 game in a playoff series and most games were competitive, it was worth it imo.

InTheMorning_Nightss | San Diego Clippers

2 | 21 hours ago

More importantly, I do not want OKC to have ANY shot at jumping up in the draft by us being bounced in the playin.

Great turnaround for a Clippers season which started with an IG cartoonist that kept drawing a suicidal Chuck

I hope not

mrhashbrown | Clippers

Almost definitely. Clippers are hanging on to a 1 game lead over Portland for the 8th seed and still have to play the Blazers later this week.

Max has been so disappointing since February.

All the progressions he made at the beginning of the season are all gone.

Still think ROTY goes till game 82

DesertedProject | Mavericks

Possibly but coop should have it locked up. Better in almost every way while facing the opposition teams best defender. Kon is amazing and incredibly talented but Coop all around is just better.

armandocalvinisius | Mavericks

coop will sit in game 82 against bulls bet

Substantial_Bus8783

cant sit coop for the sake of ROTY, but we need to sit bagley, marshall and middleton

Was afraid the Mavs bottle the tank.
