What's wrong with Clippers?
Four All-stars on the court and struggling to score 100 against a Grizzlies side without it's best player.

The Harden trade hasn't worked out at all

On paper its still good - they just need time and some humility. But I dont know if Harden can handle a rotation that has him coming off the bench some games. Harden can play better than this - he just needs time to get his legs. Only problem is, using the season to get in shape is an excellent way to injure yourself.

I blame Steph for the struggles of the warriors. He has pampered the front office for far too long, making dubious moves after dubious moves since Durant left.

All this kumbaya, loyalty nonsense has to stop, and he needs to pull a "Lebron" to get a desired upgrade.
Last year, the Warriors clearly needed a big going into the playoffs. While other serious people like the Lakers were doing an arms race, the Warriors stayed pat.
They entered the new season again without beefing up the front court, and knowing them, they will extend Klay for a ridiculous amount even though he's washed and due for a trade.

yall were hating on me when I pointed this out last year. They should have wiped the slate clean when they had the chance

Lol. The talk thing is a media thing nah.
Lebron has the media in a chokehold. Even the Nuggets complained about it last season. They were winning but people were still talking about the Lakers. Na vex make them no allow Lakers win one game. That asides, Lebron is no longer dominant and I do not mean it as a shade. He hasn't been dominant in years bro. No one has him in their top 5, atleast curry still cracks the conversation and won a ring two seasons ago. Lebron is basically retired and is just stuffing his CV with longevity....

25/8/5 in regular season games is definitely not stuffing. The guy can legit ball and still dominates games. I think that is why he is till in the news. Even more so than Curry. We expect it from Curry. I didnt see Lebron still playing in 2023 when he joined the Lakers. If anything, I expected he plays the first 7 minutes as a starter, sits and let AD run the show. Lebron shows up. You cant take that away from him. The media chokehold thing is a way to downplay the guy.

I'm sure the chicken is finally home to roost for the warriors, and reality is dawning on them. Every other team has atleast, a second volume scorer. Maxey has stepped up for the 76ers after Harden left, Lakers have AD, Clippers have all 4, Boston have Brown and Tatum, Bucks have lillard, phoenix have Durant, Booker and Beal but the Damn warriors refused to sign anyone relying on Klay that no longer guarantees 20 per night. No one outside curry has scored 20 points this season. How do they hope to beat the big boys?
Them just want kill that curry guy...

It might be time for Warriors front office to stop drinking their own koolaid. There are only 2 pieces that cannot be moved in that org - Curry and Kerr, in order of importance. Everyone else is living off of Curry. That 100mill love contract they gave to Green looks foolish now - the guy is a system player and will absolutely struggle on any other tram

I'm almost convinced there is something wrong with you Lebron fans.
Curry and durant made a dent but curry has as much rings as Lebron and Durant has two.
Popsy is still dominating but his last ring was the "bubble ring" with AD, hasn't been the best player in the league in years but popsy is still dominating. Got totally outclassed by the best player in the league last year but popsy is still dominating.
If at this point, it's not clear to you guys that Popsy is just counting time and points, until he finally retires, I don't know what to say to you....
Say na, popsy is still dominating...

Thank you for just being almost grin

Who is still talked about the most, up until this year? Lakers got bounced in WCF. One week after Nuggets win, who had the most attention? Year before that, Lakers didnt make the playoffs, but even as the Warriors were on a run to ahistoric ring, guess who was still top mention. I think the reason is, no one has convincingly ended the Lebron era - it is as if, just a few pieces and this guy could be in finals again, just like it was 15 years ago. We havent seen a definitive sendoff, like Jordan to the bad boys.

Just like Kobe managed to retool again and again and won rings even after the dynasty was supposed to have ended. Lebron has done the same, even after the Heat dynasty except with different teams. The only thing that stopped Kobe was the injuries and father time. His mind and was still very sharp. It appears Lebron is going the same route, playing until his own body says no. Could Curry end up like this? Very possibly, he has that same mentality.

You are on point. But how can Lebron be driven away when those who are supposed to be physically stronger than him are going around chasing another man's arse. Case in point, Dwight Howard. Dude has the physique of a god but all that talent gone to waste by him being on the down low.

Lol! I dont think he is down low like that, I think he swings both ways,but just doesnt put his business out in the streets. And he is from the A, lots of twisted things going on down this way if you start checking out celebrities out here. That is the reality of living in a hedonistic society. Eventually you have to keep looking for alternatives to satisfy your curiosity,

Back to basketball, he just never had that next level mentality to dominate games. I mean you would look at the stats and he would put up monster numbers, but it didnt translate into a team culture in Orlando, and definitely not in Houston. Kobe saw what he could be, and tried to push him, but that type of motivation really doesnt work on someone who doesnt have that mindset. Sort of like KAT. Make no mistake, Howard is a hall of famer, but like you said, he could have been much more!

I'm convinced these young cats around the league have made a concerted decision to retire these old folks. The kind of teams the likes of the Magic, Pacers and Rockets have already disposed of this season. And we're just 10 games in. Nobody respects teams like the Lakers, Clippers, Bucks and the Suns anymore.

It is long overdue, and I havent been this excited about the skills we are seeing in a long time.

There is a missing generation after Lebron/Wade/Melo that should have retired dem Lebron - convice them to retire by beating them convincingly. Curry and Durant have both made a dent, but for some reason Lebron is still dominating the scene. Even when he doesnt make the playoffs. Look at AD, warming bench while popsy is still dropping 30pts.

I think the missing generation of nba stars just had no shame, generally lazy and immature and no motivation. Other than Curry and a few others. CP3 wey dem draft like 2k2, 2k3? e still dey league dey play game pass some stars. Load management became a thing!

I legit believe if he flops at Clippers it's a wrap. Teams and GMs would collectively just lowball him and play on his ego to get him out the league

I just dey sorry for Ty Lue. Who is he going to tell to come off the bench, surely he must be smart enough to know this current starting 5 has zero chance of working

Ty Lue already said they are struggling because Harden needs to get in shape. He said that will come with time, but he made sure to put it out there as a signal to Harden - Im not losing my coaching job because of your foolishness. Forget being a classy coach when I know you will turn on me in private. Lue don put am on notice be dat

Shey KD for just stay Golden State jeje. Everywhere he's ran to he's been left holding the bag. Let's see if Beal and Booker actually recover from these injuries..

Looks like Murray has picked up an injury already. I don't know what is happening in this era maybe it's the food but it's like everyone has completely lost their ability to be durable.

I look at guys like Stockton and Reggie Miller who played over 17 seasons and played less than 80 games 3x combined. The contrast between them and this era couldn't be more stark

Its more team management. They look at it like accounting folks do - the players are assets. Unfortunately makes the game terrible for the fans

Who saw that poor hockey player that got his throat slashed on the ice rink in a hockey game in England and lost his life.

There needs to be an investigation on the offender responsible. I've been watching hockey for sometime now and I've never seen somebody throw a wheel kick while skating and checking an opponent. At the very least he should be banned from the sport I'd say charge him for manslaughter too

Playing hard should not be at the expense of being your brother's keeper

Just saw it. That is homicide. If it wasnt this incident, someone else would eventually get killed by this fool. Knowing full well you are wearing blades on your feet, you still decide to kick someone in the face

The league better pray his shooting doesn't continue to develop to be as good if not even better than Durant, If not every centre except maybe Giannis will be in trouble
The kid's already superb with his shooting especially off the dribble, decent speed, blocking, handling plus his unreal height as evidenced in your clip, Basically a porzingis with more advanced abilities, spurs fans will probably be licking their lips at the prospect of a probably bigger superstar than Tim Duncan if all goes well

Please, there is no comparison to Porz. Dont do this again. Please apologize as well
