What are your thoughts on Steve Ballmer's decision?
100% agree. Doc had to go.
Doc had to many chances
Why does kawhi need to stop it??
Doc is an overrated coach ....
Its about time, Doc has been underperforming in terms of serious expectations. Seems overrated to me🤷🏾♂️
"If you don't give them endorsement, that's an indictment"
WHY IS UNC ALWAYS DROPPING WISDOM?!
I swear I need him to write a catch phrase book with all these gems in it
Granny 🙌
Facts
@@russellally9016 or pop-pops
Uncle Shannon always dropping gems he’s my favorite sports analyst along w Nick Wright
To be honest kawhi should have stayed in Toronto
He had the perfect situation there!! Toronto could’ve pushed for Giannis too!! 🤦🏾♂️
Show Genius he’s a casual bro just leave it 🤣
👍🏽
Have*
at least he could have run it back one more time
The honest truth: Clippers were acting so arrogant like they had already won something when they didnt
they did kawahi won a chip pg was being is own playoff self like always
@@damoondagoat everyone knows wayoff p is a playoffs choker but kawhi is right there with him now 😂😂
@@gagandhaliwal9391 Ka-Where did you go in the 4th quarter
The clippers was favored this year to take the title. And they didnt.
Everyone one the clippers act just like the Lob City clippers. They way they act you would swear they are the warriors.
*”Joakim Noah hasn’t been good since his daddy won the French Open”*
*-Uncle Shay*
🤦🏿♂️😩😫😅😂🤣🤣
That Chicago team with the train conductor Rose was a legitimate Championship team
Joakim was DPOY that was out of hand
I didn't know Yannick was his father
@@jonfernandez4271 1983 French Open champion. Ouch!!
Leave Joakim alone, he's my fellow Cameroonian😀😁😃
Kawhi and pg helped doc rivers get fired the way they performed in game 7 💀
No Chemistry
No Coaching
No Adjustments
Damn
@@JAYTHEARTIST2004 coaching cant make paul george a clutch player. Coaching cant make trezz grow taller than 6 foot 6 coaching cant make every1 except marcus morris fix their jumper. Clippers overrated asf. If it wasnt for doc they wouldn't even have gotten this far . I wonder what the excuse will be next year
@James R He be still employed if he didn't have a terrible playoff record in LA. He got outcoached by Malone kept thinking talent was gonna win out, gotta make adjustments.
It shouldn't have been a game damn 7 to begin with
Jerry Bell Dudes a diva
Uncle Shay has been on fire all week, watching him destroy Skip so regularly is awesome
its too easy with the amount of bad takes skip has 😂
YESS BRO THATS A FENDI FACT
He’s been absolutely killing Skip.
In the words of Skip "hhhmm" Lol
I love it
The clippers were literally waiting for the outcome of the Lakers v n8ggets series to make a decision. They wanted to see if the nuggets were as legit as they seem against them and would give the Lakers a hard time and once they saw what the Lakers did to them they looked at Doc different and fired him
True af
Why nobody saying this🔥
Sounds about right lol
Facts
Great point!!!!
Shannon is right, give Nick Nurse some credits
Definitely...along with the players, in addition to management for their professionalism and having a team culture that allowed Kawhi to rehab and excel during the season. As Kawhi and Kyle. Other agreed after the Championship game...’the journey.”
@Caп¡s Aпuв¡s We can clearly see why now in retrospect.
Fr Torontos been good before Kawhi joined
So are we giving every coach the credit they deserve when a championship is won? Or are we just picking and choosing ? I think we all saw what happened to toronto...go ahead I’ll wait
mswunderful that team almost went to the ECF this year without kawhi, that’s why
"Joakim Noah hasn't been good since his dad won the French open"
- shots fired from Shannon
Can't shoot back when it's true though.
Thought he was getting a easy ring!!😂😂😂
bruh thought he was gonna win an easy ring
What does that even mean?
@@marc-edyclermont8197 that Noah has never been great in his career.
We all know that if this was Lebron Skip would be ripping him for blowing a 3-1 lead and Doc getting fired because of it.
And Shannon wouldve defended him. This is just what these two do. Its their shtick...
@@franktank6428 the clips lost a 10+ point leads in 3 straight games and their best players missed every shot in the fourth of the elimination game. How is that the coaches fault💀
@@aFrostySkywalker do you understand my comment? I'm not talking about doc or the clippers....I'm talking about skip and shannon in relation to the initial comment. Jesus man read a book for once.
@Stretch Shorty Doc still did better as a coach last year with lesser talent. So saying Doc should be fired is a drastic overreaction when it was their stars that underperformed.
Everyone says he should've done something with DJ, Blake, and Paul, but when were all three of those guys 100% healthy during the same playoff run? Not until they split up.
Doc lost his job because his players flat out didn't want to be there and their poor performances shown that. That's on the Clippers roster, not on Doc as a head coach.
Malone badly outcouched Doc
Malone, clipboard running around, constantly made coverage changes halfway thru series and halfway thru games and Doc did nothing - Doc choked
Rick Carlisle was also
Doc got out coached yeah but coaching can’t make shots fall in. We went freezing cold in almost every second half in games 5 6 and 7. Yeah he should’ve made adjustments but it seems like the players are full of themselves. There’s reports that they’re just disrespecting pg knowing none of them are better than him besides kawhi nor did anyone on the team play well besides kawhi. they need an attitude adjustment or something. It’s docs fault tho for letting it get to this point
And ppl saying Doc didn't deserve to be fired? Any other time the coach needs to can't lose wit this talent,but because of his political views it's not fair.
Doc shot 6/22 and whatever pandemic p shot in game 7?
I think the Clippers team talent was exaggerated and they're components were mismatched from the start. They also had no on court leadership. The media bought and sold the hype without examination.
Clippers : "someone gotta go. It's you Doc."
Skip : "IT'S LEBRON'S FAULT."
logic : tf he got to do with this. 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Skip brain farts often
🤣🤣🤣🤦🏿♂️
Skip: "well if LeBron didn't try so hard and just let his team fall to 7th, the clippers would've faced the lakers and......."
🤣🤣🤣
When Lbj was in East
Skip: East is weak
Lbj went to west
Skip: Cakewalk
Lmao..🤣
I don’t like LeBron too much, but I acknowledge that he’s played some damn good teams man. Gotta give big brother props for winning my Lake Show a ring.
And had LeBron still been in what skip constantly refers to as the least, he would've "avoided" the nuggets, the rockets, AND the Clippers lol....the excuses never stop with skip
As flawed as Skips logic is, this one has some merit. The east after MJ and before Giannis in 2019 was a cakewalk, where it was one team that you knew was going to make it to the Finals, and possibly one challenger. Only by 2019 did you start to have at least a bit of competition before the conference finals. Look at the east right now: six teams fighting for the top spots. Thats what the East developed into.
And yeah, while I acknowledge any ring as a win, because at the end of the day, thats what matters, I'd be lying if I said it wasnt easy. Lets see, the first round, he plays a team with a 35-39 losing record. The second round he plays a team led by two guys who have never performed that well in the Playoffs and were taken to 7 games by CP3 and the Thunder who werent even expected to make the Playoffs. The Conference Finals, he plays the Denver Nuggets, who pulled off a tremendous upset, freeing the Lakers of playing the one team that was on their level. And in the Finals they were taken to 6 games by an injured Miami Heat team without Adebayo or Dragic. Look, I respect the championship he won, but dont act like it wasnt easy.
11:34 - Shannon said Joakim Noah hasn't been good since his father Yannick Noah won tennis' French Open!
Yannick won the French Open in 1983! Joakim was BORN in 1985!!!
Shannon is BRUTAL, Bruh! Hahaha!!!!
I was looking for someone to comment on this. Shannon had me crackin up!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
Inna words of Kenny Stanzas "DAT'S GOLD BABY!!! But Shannon U say'n Kawhi cood've stopped it how many coaches has lbj had he ain't save nunn of dem from b'n fired, in fact he wanted Riley ta replace Spoe da guy dat got Chu Yo 1st 2 chips!!!
Smh Shannon is just as bad as John Edward. I mean it’s borderline embarrassing.
William H Bonny wow that was very hard to read. But true! Lol
Paul George is a disappointing basketball player🤦🏾♂️
Idk who's been more frustrating to watch in the playoffs the last decade, him or derozan
How
He broke his leg & came back to elite status. Not too many bb players can do that.
@@retiredstalker true but not changing the fact that he's boo boo
Chillllllllllll
"Living in the basement, that's where you're suppose to be" I'm dead 😂😂😂
I didn’t really pay attention to sports until I started watching this show. I love Skip and Shannon’s dynamic.
facts
Same haha
No cap
I freaking love they chemistry! Shannon is so charismatic. And Skip is actually sneaky funny! Lol
Especially American sports for me.
I feel like skip just says mmm he doesn’t really listen😂😂😂
Lolol possibly 😂
Lol mmm
“You better sit down for we swing on you “ 😂😂
Lol lol lol
😂😂😂
"He's a cyborg, he feels no pain" 😂😂
"twooooooo points in the second half"
Doc rivers has been there for 7 years never made a conference finals or a finals. Had kawhi PG Cp3 blake griffin deandre jordan paul pierce jj reddick jamal crawford. 3-8 in series clinching games and the 3rd time his teams gave up a 3-1 lead. Why are people so surprised they moved on from him
Real talk he underachieved with the talent he had
Che1424 good point
Pretty much. I've said this before...give those guys to a worthwhile coach like Pop or Spoelstra and they would've at least won one title. Doc is a massive underachiever...those 2008 Celtics won because they were loaded top to bottom, not because of Doc's coaching.
U cant forget he had these players during the spurs and warriors dynasty the only year you came blame him for is this year
hyg hi y uhh ji also he had those injuries in which Paul and griffin got hurt in back to back games
Okc thunder must be feeling real good about that trade. Everyone thought Houston and Clippers had won that trade. Think again
Jeremy Stillwell they signed for 2 year plus a player option, they are both FA if they choose to opt out next year
@@jbestderulo45 for sure. OKC gave mentally weak wayoff P who shot the side of the backboard in the playoffs. They gained Chris Paul who preserved that hard fighting OKC culture and had a good run against Houston.
@Osama Bin Laden What year do you think OKC will build a strong team with these picks and possible win the Western Conference?
Why you keep saying against the Nuggets like they some random lucky 8 seed they are a top team in the western conference it shouldn’t be a suprised the clippers were over rated
Because no one had the Nuggets winning anything. Clippers and Lakers were heavy favourites. It isn't as big of a slight as it sounds, but the Clippers were expected, to the point of premonition, of reaching the WCF AT LEAST
@@mattblock6616 i had the nuggets winning after i saw how bad the clippers did against the mavs. Was the cherry on top that they choked tho a 3 1 but yea your blind if you thought they could be the nuggets after watching their poor play in the first round.
@@victorsmith7167 so u thought that after they played"bad" against the mavs in the first round. Stop it the nuggets could of easily be gone in the first round too don't act like they are just world beaters all of a sudden
Nobody had the nuggets winning. Please stop it
The point is the Clippers underperformed severely. They clearly did. They would have lost to the Mavs in the first round if Porzingis doesn't go down. Then they do lose in the second round as the finals favorite all year. They NEVER played up to the expectations of them.
It's not Doc's fault that Pandemic P flexed his muscles and Kawhi choked.
But it's Doc's fault for not having the game plan and proper rotations to keep their double digit leads in Games 5 and 6 against the Nuggets
How about all those CP3 Blake griffin teams
He was in charge and allowed players to do what they wanted. If you like him or not, they were expected to win and choked a few times.
Facts bro facts my god;
Its his fault your just a bronsexual... Doc rivers is dumb he doesn't know how to plan a ball rotation kawhi just got dragged by the choke that doc did
Hot take: Doc Rivers is not a HOF coach
I disagree but he was overrated
he HOF... but he not elite elite... he good good.. if u catch my drift
Y’all are prisoners of the moment
You're stupid. Then no one is
BROOOO! RIVERS AND PIERCE SHOULD THANK THE HEAVENS THAT IN 08 BYNUM AND ARIZA WERE OUT IN THE FINALS!
Yea a cakewalk in the west sounds very stupid and full of envy, jealousy and hate🤣🤣🤣🤣
bunch of bums in the west this year lets be real.
sublime90 like who
@@yakushi6923 like utah, blazers, nuggets, houston . aside from the lakers and clippers no one gave any of those teams a chance and for good reason. now if the warriors were healthy its a different convo
@sublime90 so Utah took the nuggets to a game 7, the same nuggets that bounced the clippers? How are they bums? What about the mavs, the mavs alone are better than most of the teams in the east. Then the lakers and clippers, what are you smoking?
@@climax050 so at the start of the season you really thought jazz or nuggets was gonna be in the finals??? seriously? mavs had a chance until kp got "hurt" then that window got slammed shut. the lakers are head and shoulders above every other team in the west (minus a healthy warriors) who was the lakers real "threat"?
I wonder if Doc still feels that Kawhi is the closing thing he’s seen to Jordan now?🤔
In the future when he’s asked who’s the best in the game he’ll just go with Bron or KD, won’t be the Klaw! 🤣🤣🤣
Rivers actually said that!?
Random Guy he said it in terms of play style
Russell Westbrook is the closest thing to Jordan. The dude just can't hit the ocean from the beach. Smh
Ayuub Nur all time yes. Right now between active players, it’s Kawhi
There actually a 🤡 here who actually mentioned Westbrook in the same sentence as MJ
"Joakim Noah wasn't good since his dad won the French Open" I'm dying after this, Shannon is so funny. Imagine being his grandkid
Shannon: " Joakim Noah hasn't been good since his father, Yannick Noah won the French Open." 😆😝😆
JN was done unfortunately when he left Chicago. He had the heart and determination of a lion he body just couldn't hold up.
Triple double big man!
😂😂😂
Man was DPOY. Disrespectful.
Shannon has no idea what he is talking about. Noah was a top 5 mvp candidate one year. Still funny regardless though lol
For a guy who doesn't speak, Kwali's silence sure gets people fired.
Heath Anderson I think his silence actually speaks louder than words with him, if he really wanted doc he would have spoke up.
I think people need to stop making excuses for Doc Rivers, he is not good winning one title with 4 how is not an achievement.
La clippers slogans.. “we live in the basement” 😂😂😂
And always will..
They will live in the basement of their own stadium LAKERS WILL ALWAYS RUN LOS ANGELES the Forum was ran by Lakers
Clippers can't ever get out of the basement
😂😂
THEY TRADED A FIRST ROUND PICK FOR MARCUS MORRIS!????!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Morris was dropping 20 a night all be it on a bad team but he was getting buckets
Right lol. They got the wrong one.
@@kyj060792 Yes on a sry team. So why couldn't he get 20 on a great team??🤣🤣🤣
Emmy Whiten he was playing good. It’s just cool to hate on them that’s why y’all say such bs
@@NSlimItrust Hate on wat?? They lost. Usually ppl hate on winner smartguy
People came at Lebron after Blatt and Luke Walton got fired, keep the same for Kawhi
Nope it’s the same at all
They gave excuse for lebron when he choked his first year with the heat when we joined the heat, and cried they had no chemistry. Yet they had a full year. But when Kawhi has less than a full season forced to stop half way through. And want to jump all over that. Where is the same energy there
Exactly
Jonathan Laque be its been 9 years and lebron still getting trash over that . Stop crying cuz the nba champion favs didn’t get out second round
@@jonathanlaque4248 you make no sense, No one gave any excuses for Lebron ever!! You wanna give kawhi an excuse dude already has 2 rings, and being called a top5 player right now!! That loss was Unacceptable mann!
I bet it was George Paul That told Kwaih Leonard to tell the owner to fired Doc River.
Definitely
You really think Kawhi would ask for Doc to be fired??? So it's kawhi's fault Doc has been there for 7 years, blown 2 3-1 leads, had multiple all stars on the team most of those years, and couldn't get his team past the 2nd rnd????? And this is the guy who has pretty much been the consensus "best coach in the league" the past 10 years. Why tf should kawhi try to keep him on to run it back when he couldnt even game plan for the Nuggest.
😂😂😂😂
Show Genius you mean Phil Jackson and not Pop
PG is kawhis daddy
Doc hasn't been out the 2nd round in 7 years with clippers he has blown multiple 3-1 leads he was gone regardless in my mind kawhi just so happen to be in crossfire and got ask what he thinks
Exactly! But everyone wants to put the blame on Kawhi like it's solely his fault. And I don't think even he could've prevented Doc from being fired. Doc brought this on himself.
why is everyone forgetting this??????
Real good take
True. Doc is the most overrated coach
Imagine ya stars shittin the bed going for 14 combined in game 7 blame the coach who got you up 3-1 nah Paul George should've been traded he sucks
7 years with the Clippers without even 1 final appearance, I think they gave him enough time
That game 7 performance tho 🤪
Yeah he can go on and eat pig feet on somebody else clock
Joshhieyify every great player has their horrible playoff moments it happens and it’s inevitable
Doc rivers is overrated and this is coming from a celtics fan, im glad he won us a chip in 08 but the dude has been the clippers coach for ages and hasnt been past the 2nd round, he deserved to be fired
Name 10 coaches who are better.
And he barely won that championship first and second round he went to game sevens and he was favorite that year to win. I agree with you
It's not all entirely Doc's fault tho, he had to deal with injury prone stars and play in the same conference as the Warriors, it's not even entirely his fault for this years collapse, when you have a star like Kawhi and the man goose eggs? What you supposed to do
So many talent on the Clippers but no WCF...
Jerry Cole people don’t bring up game 5 lol kawhi carried and Lou sold Paul only shot 44 percent too
I respect Doc Rivers but he never got onto his players and disciplined them from the moment Kawhi and Paul George got there
Team full of divas and primadonnas... nothing like those Celtics players
Facts... same with Lob City...too soft on the players.
It’s going to be difficult if Kawhi has a agreement from the owner that he agreed Kawhi could “load manage”. How can you discipline the rest of the team when 1 player gets to sit out practices & games?
💯💯💯
@arronnov be a coach...mentor and motivate
Shannon finally telling the truth. Kawhi never carried the Raptors
Right decision by Ballmer. You can give Doc Jordan, Lebron and Wilt and he'll somehow end up not taking that team to the Finals.
What are you talking about? The best team he ever had was the 08 Celtics and they were already past their prime. Lob City was never at their full potential because Blake couldn’t even stay healthy and did you forget how bad the Clippers were before Doc got there? PG and Kawhi sold the bag because they were not mentally and physically ready for the playoffs and Doc was used as the scapegoat
What jimmy said
What@@sa-ma-dhi said
What@@shadowwarrior2030 said
Don't try that we all know Lebron would have turned into a coach in that situation.
Oh please
Doc had plenty of chances
Time to move on
Not defending the players but he should have coached them to not be spoiled
They should also trade pg13
Wasn't the narrative that doc was an overrated coach after he blew another (third time) 3-1 lead? How is that on kawhi? People just wanna hate for no reason
@@susupottylover he kinda said that tho and no way mentioned Kawhi😂
You can't trade PG when no one wants him with that contract.
Hritik Srivastava Did you not see the way kawhi performed in game 7? That is on him kawhi is one the reasons the clippers loss probably the main one
@@mynoseisdirty1250 the main reason is not practicing.
The reason those 90s bulls won was because they worked on their game.
Ever team has a switch but not every team has built the machine for that switch to be attached to.
"The Clippers don't have a first round draft pick until 2026 they've mortgaged their future"
- Shannon with the truth serum
They have draft picks in 2021, 2023, 2025. Dude doesn’t know what a pick swap is.
@@AAngel548 those are 1st rounders?
S. Keegs yes
@@AAngel548 They dont lol
@@AAngel548 they can swap tho so do ya really have that pic 🤷🏾♂️
The blame is divided by four things -
- Lack of chemistry / games together
- Lack of motivation (wanted out)
- Lack of a rim protector
- Doc's questionable rotations and plays
What you think about they playmaking skill tho ? Not much ball handling in this team dont you think ?
"You need to sit down before we swing on you" I luv unc 😂😂😂
Was Doc playing in the 4th quarter, I know they shouldn't have even been in game 7 but damm
What about making game adjustments what did Doc do
Wisdom Joannes-Erhue 👆🏽 Right , Team Was Losing & He Did Nunthing About It ! 💯
Doc rivers was laughing when they were down🤦🏻♂️ he’s a joke man
Don't know why everyone thinks Doc is a good coach. He's so overated lol
coaches in the nba don't do much. they give cookie cutter speeches during timeouts and half time and that is about it except drawing up a play or two. most of the time it's just players playing ball and if it doesn't work it doesn't work. coaches are useful as scapegoats that is about it
This team is so done already. They have no room to add anyone notable, no picks to trade, PG value is as low as possible. Trez prob gone (is that a bad thing tho...lol), Doc gone. Still no playmakers or rim protection.
League will be tougher next year with Warriors, Nets, ascending young teams...window closed!
Crazy thing is the lakers can still add a piece like oladipo via trade or the following year they will only have Lebron(if he doesn’t opt out) and AD on the cap
@@FreeSmoke911 And Boogie!
And Kawhi with load management. It’s all about team chemistry. He’s disrupting it at this point.
Yeah 😂 that's tough...
“U needa sit down fo we swing on u” 😂😂😂😂
Lol lol lol
There is a 0.01% chance that Balmer did this with Kawhi fully endorsing Doc Rivers. With one year left and him being their only hope in the future, it would be stupid and insane to get rid of a coach he really liked.
Shannon speaking facts
Yea he seems to always speak facts when it's everybody else,LeBron it's all bias. Skip asked him about LeBron wanting Spo out came up with a lame excuse same thing about Blatt. Shannon the biggest hypocrite
Wasn't it Doc that had to convince Ballmer to trade like 10 picks for Pandemic P?
Nope that's kawhis demands
It was Kawhi
You wasnt just getting Paul. You was getting Kawhi as well so it was well worth it
@@smoove2432 it really wasn’t, everyone knew Paul George underperformed in the playoffs like with okc and now the clippers... they traded 4 picks and some players for him and he sucked!!! Their chemistry is now gone and both kawhai and paul George can leave next year and the clippers won’t give and 1st round picks until 2026 so it wasn’t with it at all
@@kajomusa2898 That's why Paul George should've tried to play with Lebron because some how Lebron gets alot out of his team
Ever since that lemon pepper lou incident everything went downhill from there
Lou didn't even look like the same player he's been the last 4 years smh
@@altruistic3276 Last season I thought his defense became "Acceptable". IDK wtf happened now.
From 2:34 on you could see Skip trying to hold in his laughter lol. Shannon is too much
Nick Nurse was getting so much praise when Toronto won. What is Shannon talking about ?
More credit was on Kawhi. Nurse was praised more so than given credit. Due to the fact of being a first year coach.
Yea everyone I’m around jumped on the kawhi bandwagon.
Well when you get a championship in your first year.. you tend to get praise
Who got the most praise is what Shannon is talkin about Because if it wasn’t Kawhi people wouldn’t have said that he would again win another chip wit another team!💯 that’s facts 🤷🏽♂️
If nick nurse truly got the credit he deserved for that ring than he wouldn’t have won coach of the year because people would have expected the raptors to be where they were.
I agree with Unc. Kawhi is low key a bigger snake than KD
Idk about that, Kawhi isn’t as present and probably says nothing at meetings etc. KD will talk about his former teammates on a new account lol. However I like KD.
kobe was a snake too. who cares
FKAA Hey no Kobe disrespect over here bro. We not doing all that.
How is kawhi a “snake” for this?
E 20 he didn’t quit on the Spurs, he forced his way out because he didn’t trust team doctors and Gregg popovich getting tony Parker to say what he said was the straw that broke the camels back. As far as Toronto,he didn’t owe them anything.
I just love how hard Skip is trying to not laugh!
Still can't believe the Clippers gave up more for PG than the Lakers did for AD. At one point they had 3 players signed to the roster.
He said “ you need to seat down before we swing on you 😂😂😂😂”
Hahahahha
A LeChina bandwagon saying Kawhi could've saved a coach?
No player in HISTORY of this game got so many coaches fired as LeChina has.
I think Kawhi was talking about his teammates when referring to "basketball IQ", not necessarily Doc. I think Kawhi should be more vocal with the team and be a better leader but this does not solely sit on him. I believe Ballmer wanted to get rid of Doc and he had to make him the scapegoat.
I cant wait for lebron to win the series 😂😂😂
💯
You mean the lakers...last time i checked its a team sport 5v5... not 1v5
why? what do you get out of it??
@@terrancewarren380 , Why are you watching a sports show?

You can’t win a ring with Paul George
George Paul disagrees.
Would’ve been better off with Chris Paul.
Facts
Yes u can
Make him come off the bench 🤷🏾♂️ or injury him
This was my first time even hearing the Toronto coach's name
“Fo we swing on you.” 🤣
why it Kawhi fault Nurse never got enough credit? Kawhi constantly praised him. that’s on media.
swear some y’all just inventing storylines
US media, mind u. never give TO players or coaches or owner credit - period
Nurse basically a saint up here in TO
Kawhi also said toronto isnt good enough to win again and left
@@patrickc1807 he didn't say that. He always wanted to go home. He didn't want to go to Toronto in the first place
Trevor Philips nobody cares about Toronto. Kawhi made them relevant, they were nicknamed lebronto
I never thought adding Leonard and George to the same team was very smart. They are too similar as players. It is hard to win when your two best players are clones. You need to have some diversity on the roster, so each player plays their own role. They are good-to-great players on their own, but somewhat cancel each other out and minimize each other's effectiveness when both are on the court at the same time.
Surprising civil. We should have more of these discussions!
Take a shot everytime skip says hmm during shamnons rant lol
"you need to sit down before we swing on you"
😂😂😂
Just move this team to Seattle where they belong. LA is and will always be Laker town.
Seattle is in the Pacific, sounds like clippers town to me.
The Lippers are moving at Inglewood, CA
and become the Seattle ClipperSonics
Ummmmm no.
Clippers are Lance Bass, the Lakers are Justin Timberlake “”” is that A good comparison ??😂
HNIC 4real lmao, no more like the other chick from Destiny’s Child” whats her face?? 😂😫
Rich Culture accurate 💯💯😂
No. Rechannel your efforts.
Skip could of told Shannon to wipe his nose 🤣🤣🥴🥴
why should he endorse Doc.. he hasn't won anything coaching the Clippers
He said “ johakim hasn’t been good since he’s dad won French open “ lol 😂 😂😂😂
5:44 “Outta There” 😂😂😂😂
It's funny how Doc Rivers never recruited or asked Kawhi Leonard or Paul George to come to the Clippers and yet he got fired because of their shortcomings.
Doc Rivers is a playoff coach not a championship coach. Shannon needs to stop playing acting like Docs the Goat
Bro he’s introverted he’s not gonna go out his way to say something unless it really involves him
Skip has the best "Hmm" voice ever 😂❤️❤️❤️😂
I love how Skip says Kawhi is better than LeBron but Holds lebron to a higher standard than MJ and simultaneously holds Kawhi "Baby Jordan" Leonard to the same standard as Zach Lavine
So glad Shannon brought of Nick Nurse.
Kawhi had the audacity to criticize his teams “basketball IQ” of the coach HE CHOOSE. HE CHOOSE to abandon the structure and cohesion of the raptors organization. Kawhi let his team flounder in 4 loses to the Nuggets and he’s got the nerve to criticize anyone but himself.
We keep accusing lebron of going to LA for the lifestyle, the money and Hollywood. So what did Kawhi go to the clippers for? It certainly wasn’t to win since he willingly let his team choke in the 2nd round if the playoffs. Seems to me like Kawhi is just there to make Uncle Dennis money.
thank YOU!!!
Kawhi went to LA because it’s his home and also because want to win there. Of course he can’t do that if he doesn’t have competent teammates and an inconsistent second star. He chose this team and Steve Ballmer will fix it.
Couldn't have said it better myself 👍
Didn’t L3-6ron get Blatt fired while they were the 1st seed🤔 also Doc coaching didn’t work he’s been there 7 years
vinnythewebsurfer Magic got his coach fired after they won the championship cause he didn’t like him
So check this out right
Kawhi wins a championship in Toronto goes into the off season talking to 3 teams; The Clippers, The Lakers & The Raptors.
Kawhi makes the decision to go to the Lakers but not to play with LeBron... to play with Anthony Davis. He signs a 2+1 with the Clippers to match
1. LeBron leaving his prime or retiring from the league
2. AD gets his max first so they’re contract doesn’t interfere with each other
He signs with the clippers no harm no foul but the clippers went all out getting Morris and Paul George thereon jeopardizing they’re future only to find out that Kawhi is actually playing them to get to the Lakers and this was all negotiated during the offseason during they’re meeting.
Chess moves by the Lakers, while the Clippers are playing Checkers. Kawhi wanted to play for the Lakers all along alongside AD
There Was No Big 3 Plans!!!
The agreements would maybe state if you beat us with those guys you stay but if you don’t we’re open to having you play alongside Anthony Davis after LeBron retire as the faces of our franchise with a great supporting cast in the biggest market in basketball... It’s yours!
Think about it LeBron has 2... maybe 3 years left? Even if he still has the ability to play he’ll retire for his family! No 40 year old woman wants to lay alone at night while her husband out playing basketball... This is why LeBron has so many businesses. He setting up to afford the lifestyle he currently lives while getting paid directly from the NBA so when they’re is no NBA paycheck he’s good.
Kawhi agrees🟣 🤝 🟡
LeBron grooms AD to be the leader, Kawhi doesn’t have to be a leader he fits perfectly in that spot.
Wowwwww 🤯
The Biig Four I’m telling you!
That just cracked my temple🥵🥵🥵
This is cool and all, but as long as he's playing at high levels, LeBron ain't retiring anytime soon. The man just loves basketball too much and I could see the man still playing like an All Star in his 40s
Argenteus Mike loved basketball, and there comes a time where no matter how much he spends on his body it’s gonna tell him to either chill or slow down
Kawhi laughing at all of us right about now
Skip and Shannon make great TV man! I love these two 😂
Kawhi is no longer the kawhi of San Antonio he's a diva now. SMH I use to like the guy, now i can't stand him
You can’t stand him bc he’s a star now
@@batistajrJDC I can't stand him because he is a load management diva
I cant remember the last time Shannon wasn’t spot on with any topic
Same here..
He misses with Lebron a lot
The dude was asked about LeBron wanting Spo out he didn't have this same energy. He said it's different cuz LeBron had more yrs on his contract. Still doesn't change the fact LeBron tried to get the coach fired
Agreed Shannon, not very often but you are right about this one.
3:37 Cross Examination 😂 Skiyup! You supm else.. lol
Kawhi probably doesn’t say anything at all. He doesn’t look like someone who cares too much about anything and is too outspoken. He’s probably fed up with the attention and how the team performed.
Aww poor baby wanted to go to LA go get away from attention and it blew up in his face. He made his bed now sleep in it
Skip been getting washed from Shannon these past couple days
Veryyyy valid points on both sides. Great debate!
Shannon nailed it
Plain and simple
GIVE NICK NURSE THE CREDIT AS HE ALLLLLLWAYS DESERVED !!!!
Is this the beginning of Kawhi the coach killer?
I always thought Doc was overrated anyway.
uh not really, if you pay attention to details this season, they have done worse with better roster. Whereas doc changed the culture in philly and made them one of the best team in the team even if they have been playing with so many injuries.
Its pretty obvious now that doc got a better of the deal. Clippers, majority fault isnt on the coaching staff but the players.
@@tomala118 Nice joke
@@miguelpozos5366 lol its the players that step up and make shots they are supposed to make....they werent make the wide open ones last year when they were under pressured when leading, the stats also showed it. They have great shots. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE WINNING NOW because of their talent so its not they are donig better or surprised.
Shannon’s smile could make someone’s day no 🧢
Doc was the captain. The captain goes down with the ship. Doc’s coaching failed in 2015 against Houston. He made the mistake with the Clippers once before... but twice, that’s not a coincidence. As a Clippers fan, I’m glad to see Doc go.
Skip needs to stay on that sinking Clipper and not jump in the Lake with the real Champs (pun intended). Keep your goat mask Skip. LBJ got this
Prince James hoping to still get carried by AD. Didn't even make the playoffs last year without him.
Shady Shannon Sharpe watch your back he like white meat and that’s why he lets skip Bayless shady say and do what he wants. TV devil money sell out for the moment Shannon Sharpe
GEORGE PAUL IS NOT A SUPERSTAR.
NEVER HAS BEEN.
NEVER WILL BE.
Only got media hype because he was the biggest fish in one of the smallest ponds, aka Indiana. We know pg13 more for his personal blunders than his on court work, that should say it all
Biggest mistake you can make is underestimate your opponent. Not only do you lose but you basically defeated yourself.
