The Clippers Are COOKED (Again)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- The Paul George era in Los Angeles is officially over after five years, three playoff series victories, one conference finals appearance, and countless injuries. But while PG is an easy target for criticism and there are risks associated with maxing out a 34-year-old, the Clippers were insane to let the nine-time All-Star just walk away in free agency.

They were cooked with or without him. Paul George isn’t THAT GUY. 7 points and then 9 points in back to back playoff games was evidence of that. He had his chance to prove he deserved that money… he didn’t produce.
IF the guy PG replaces scored the SAMEa amount of points in SAME game for Sixers, they would've beaten Knicks
Yea lol bad games don’t exist. You sound like an idiot. PG is a PERFECT all around role playing wing guard combo
“7 points and then 9 points in back to back playoff games” could you please show me when this occurred 🤔
So according to you, he had his chance to prove that he deserved the money, failed and still got it anyway in a better situation? Sounds like a win to me
@@alxx292 Good for him. He got his money. But it’s a testament to the stupidity of the 76’ers front office. They’re in debt to him til he’s 37 years old. You Philly fans are gonna find out the hard way.
Bro , pg has been a complete no show in 4 years in the playoffs , balmer made the right choice
27 10 and 5 in 2021 btw
@@alxx292 you can drop 70 but if your team loses it doesn’t matter , might fit well in Philly doe
You could easily say the same thing about kawhi dude was a LITERAL no show
@@jordanflores5687 don’t ever disrespect kawhi again and I’m a raptors fan . He can never play another nba game again and will still be considered one of the best in our generation . (2x champ , 2 FMVP). He will lock down your best player and drop 30 on 50%
@@Gill36912 except he's not missing over 50% of your career games isn't great and never locked my guy up he couldn't
Let’s all trash clippers and leave my lakers alone😂
Don't be mad cuz ur team ain't winning anything till 2030
@@jaygreen2251 Neither is yours if your a clippers fan.
@@jaygreen2251 At least the Lakers won in 2020. Clippers blew a 3-1 lead lmao😂
I feel like they’ve picked up some good def and lob threat assets: KPJ, DJJ, Dunn, Bamba, Kai Jones. Pending Miles Bridges. As long as they can gel and not have off court issues.
Acting like the clippers were ever going anywhere with pg talking like they were contenders😂
They were a really good team that could have contended for a title last season. The injury to Kawhi is what derailed their season.
I hate the Clippers but cmon we never did really see what Kawhi and PG could do if both healthy in the playoffs outside of 1 choke job in the bubble. Even the Lebron and Wade Heat choked in 2011 but that doesn't mean they were never contenders
@@PricefieldPunk clippers dont belong in a conversation with the heat, both these teams are in the past the clippers arent accomplishing anything more to add to a resume heat made the finals 4 straight years and clippers have 1 conference finals appearance thats final,
clippers havent been a contender since the bubble because kawhii hasnt been an nba player since the bubble his careers basically over i would bet my wife childeren house family car and the fate of the universe on kawhii never winning another fmvp cant make it through 1 playoff game without coming down with a magical injury. PG has 0 postseason accomplishments not even worth mentioning wont do anything in philly either, hes tryna be the greatest podcaster of all time.
I cant sit around and wait for 4+ years for a team to get healthy as the stars starting hitting their mid 30s they were NEVER getting healthier, people still riding the momentum of their 1 conference finals appearanced is beyond me, the lakers since then won the chip that year, became a first round exit, traded for russ and missed the playoffs then retraded him went on that conference finals run and lost last year in the first round 4 years is alot of time in the nba and they have have given me 0 reason to believe and 0 proof since 4 years ago so sick of hearing "oh well if kawhi was healthy" when he literally never will be again
morale of the story they werent going to and didnt do anything notable idc about conference finals appearances when the damian lilard and CJ blazers can make one
LAC going to be fine, just watch & see + PG-13's a bonafide "loser" = he's not interested in "winning", more than he's interested in his podcast = that's why LAC didn't invest into him because they know he's not worth it = PHI going to regret signing him, just like they've regretted signing ALL those other "bums"
Good luck with Harden being your #1 when Kawhi is icing his knees in the playoffs
they're not going to be fine they're going to suck as they always did. They would be fine if they lost Paul George for something.
@@Swashcuff you're just saying you don't know anything about NBA-basketball, without saying it
@@Swashcuff Clippers have the second best record of any team in the league aside from the Warriors over the last 12 years.
No championships sure but that’s pretty far from sucking. Fans of many other franchises wish they could have that kind of success even in just the regular season.
“Hes not interested in winning” he literally has a better chance of winning a championship on the sixers than if he stayed on the clippers.
They definitely botched this. Especially knowing Kawhi's health issues smh. Picked up nice role players but Paul George was necessary to beat a Dallas, Minnesota, Boston etc.... you dont let a 6-8 20 ppg scorer who can guard 1-4 leave for absolutely nothing.
Absolutely delusional there was never a path to a title NEVER.
Clippers fans players and their front office have a delusion that usually would put people in an insane asylum
The clippers could have won in 2020. Or in 2021 if they stayed healthy
They were definitely a serious contender for a few years
Someone gotta give Steve Ballmer the Al Davis treatment & lock him in the closet so an adult can construct a roster that makes sense 😂😂😂
As a th Thunder fan..... Thank you playoff P!
If you ask me, this new era looks better than when pg was there. Before they had too many chefs in the kitchen, now they have those players that are willing to do the dirty work while still having james and kawhi, their defense should be top notch this year, dunn,mann,kawhi,djj, batum 😮.
Idk if paul george was really a loss lol
Nah, Clippers are just resigning Kawhi to sell tickets for their new arena. Their window of opportunity is gone. Kawhi's been injured the past 4 years and every year is touted as the hopeful year he's healthy, but never is. PG isn't the guy he was in OKC and arguably that's his only year being at that MVP level. Clips can't blow it up nor can they win anything. They can sure sell tickets though.
Way to dismiss the 2nd apron, they could’ve just dumped some salary to get under it if PG stayed. Second apron penalties include: being unable to include cash in trades, first-round picks seven years away are untradable, no trade exceptions can be used from multiple players' salaries, no previous trade exceptions can be used, and the final one being a team's first-round is moved to the end of the round if they stay in the second apron for three of five seasons.
They dont control their first rounders anyway
They dont control, but they still have 1st round pick. 2 or 3 of them are swaps.
Too bad for the clippers they let go of their solid 7 points in the playoffs..
Im a Clippers fan, you guys are casuals who base everything off stats. PG folded like a chair time in and time out every playoffs. Why pay him that money? Just to continuley get bounced. Stupid. We'll be fine without him
No you won't cause you always choke.
Clippers fans haven't been fine since the team moved to LA in 1984
Exactly why I'll never take shit the Clippers do seriously because they always manage to shoot themselves in the foot over & over....& Over again. Which is why their so called relevancy is so funny because even when the Lakers sucked every damn year they would be scrambling for whatever crumbs they could get with the players they had. I feel for Kawhi but not Pandemic P. 🤧🤧🤧
Clippers WORST & UNLUCKY ORGANIZATION 💯
Kawhi Leonard somewhere: Ah Ha ha ha!
I see a lot of comments see PG for who he is and aren't falling for the B.S. and also the Clippers upgraded the league is better overall than with PG. Younger and way more defense and Lob Threats. Plus guys that want to take the next leap. PG and Philly fans better prepare themselves for excuses.
0:19 Steve Ballmer doing Steve Ballmer things. 😂
I wll never understand Clips' offseason 2024. Fumbling PG yet not going in heavy for Klay or DeMar. Not to mention for how much PG would've signed back if not for trade clause, it'd be more than Klay and DeMar combined.
2022 was their best shot, PG choked some free throws and the Valley oop ultimately doomed the Clippers. I do think that they signed really nice replacement pieces for George. They could become that tenacious defensive team that no one wants to face in the playoffs but their days of wannabe contenders are over.
2021*
None of the real contenders in the NBA are scared of the Clippers the last 20 years and and they never will be Lol 🥱🥱
Effing relax yall😂😂 Great coaches can help a team win 10-12 extra games on preparation and IQ. Coach Lue is one of the best. Clippers will win at least 45-47 wins.
Look at Eric Spoelstra.
And in the west, maybe 45-47 is good enough for a top 6 seeds because the west conference is tough.
I know hindsight is 20/20, but damn I wishes KL stayed in Toronto for 1 more year and ran it back! 😭😭
After finding out that the Sterlings still get championship rings if the Clippers win the title makes this even more sweeter 😂
Enjoy Bronny and JJ Laker fan
@@JawaPenguin16wtf are you talking about
@@thedarkfrost2351 You clearly are Clipper hater and Lebron nut hugger
@@thedarkfrost2351don’t respond to that bot
Honestly they need a better coach but this year they don’t stand a chance
They aren't capped out and they have added pieces already and he's not reliable.
So they're contenders? They have practically 0 draft picks, high salaries, and aging stars. Can they compete against the Mavs, Nuggets, Wolves and Thunder?
Yes, they are literally capped out, which is why the only tools they had to use were various exceptions rather than cap space
@@CarlosGutierrez-qw6prat the moment they are not contenders. But maybe they can get some pieces to have a deep roster. The time of three max contracts on your team is over.
Like who
Ballmer just doesn’t know what to do with all his billions, he just playing games
Exactly what I said. They could’ve signed it, run it back 1 more time after seeing how good they were before injuries last year after adding Harden and then if they fail to achieve anything next year then have a massive fire sale like OKC did when they tore it up.
It’s actually funny because this is exactly what the Clippers did with Blake. They resigned him and traded him for some pretty decent assets.
It’s not like money is an issue either as Balmer has shown zero hesitation to spend. Absolutely foolish to let George walk for nothing given the circumstances.
First and foremost I cannot stand Ty Lue. He should have been gone two years ago. There's two things that happen all the time and it's not the players fault it's a coaching problem. When Kauai gets trapped in a double team or triple team there's nobody rotating to help him that is a coaching problem. When they bring the ball up the court and people run up behind them and still the ball that should only happen once and it should be done with it. Somebody should yell out ball ball watch out. happens multiple times that's a coaching problem. Anyways who they missed was Nick batum. Robert Covington. Kenyon Martin Jr. You can't teach what they had either you have it or you don't it's not thinking to go after the ball.it's pure instinct you can't teach that. Are they going to be better this year I don't know if they are going to be harder to beat yes. Because they brought players in that go after the ball they don't have to think it's instinct.. and if they could develop the raw talent . Does a couple of these players with experience and proper coaching. If it works out they stole them
Clippers wanted the no trade clause to pG or the 4th year coz Pg knows he will treated like Blake. Got an extension they traded also. Good for PG moving from West to East. But still having the same playoff choke moment along with overrated Embiid
There's only one thing left for the Clippers to do: Move back to San Diego to lift the curse.
Amen!
Balmer sucked at Microsoft and he sucks at Clippers
They might as well trade everyone and rebuild. Harden will be hard to trade.
Hurrah kawi should ‘ve stayed one more season with the Raptors. Then bolted. I know you wanted to go home but as history is showing very shortsighted. And KL was kinda selfish
How was he selfish? He has a right to want to go home. He was a free agent and he brought Toronto a championship… he never wanted to be there in the first place
Clippers have Steve Ballmer richest owner in all sports and they are in LA.. they gonna be just fine..
What has being in l.a got them since Ballmer bought the team
@@AD-vg6njit got them kawhi what are you talkin about
Wow finally someone in the comments with logic and common sense.
@cgwg133 a superstar at the time who can't be depended on, now with a contract no one would trade for. Being in l.a. has led to so many superstars and so many titles right
@@AD-vg6nj I never said it led to titles bro you want to be right so bad but you answered your own question being in la attracts superstar players
The Clippers aren’t cooked while your team made no moves in free agency
Clips should've blown it up a couple of years ago. They wouldn't be contenders with or without George.
They were cooked when they traded for PG in 2019 lol
Trying to low ball george when they are in win-now mode, and he just proved he can be healthy and valuable throughout a season...proof of how poor the clippers franchise is
They don't think. but I rather pick role players than the older Star
PG was sorry
harden won a game by himself against the mavericks. paul was just there for all the playoff games. paul made a crazy 3 with a minute left but it was a crazy shot as in too risky. he misses those most of the times
The reason they were willing to resign PG for the same as Kawhi even though it puts them over the 2nd apron, is that there still would have been some ability to get under that to avoid crippling their future draft picks and transactions. If PG gets the max, they are basically committing suicide for almost a decade in the hopes that they'll get lucky and win it with 3 aging stars. PG is the best example of a Superstar who puts up the numbers but doesn't have the dog in him or the consistency to perform when it is most needed. If he would have played like a star against the Mavs this year, maybe he'd be worth a max contact...but he didn't. He was unassertive and got locked up by Airplane Mode. Had one game where he went off, but that's not enough when you're missing Kawhi. Plus ppl think that 3 Superstars are better than 2...I think history has shown that you really only need 1 or 2 and the right role players.
You have no idea what makes a good team.Paul George isn’t a got to have player lol.
They would have been cooked had they giving him a 4 year max, paying him over $60 million at age 38, they’ve won only 3 playoff series in 5 years, it’s been a complete disaster, and losing PG is the reason you believe their cooked?, they’ve been cooked for 5 years, they couldn’t get it done when the players were in their prime, what makes you think they would be better when the players are older, the Clippers did the right thing by not handicapping themselves for another 4 disastrous seasons, truth be told they weren’t going to win a championship with or without him facts, good for the Clippers….
The issue is PG13%, Wayoff P, Pandemic P, Pathetic P, hasn’t been consistent in the last 4 playoffs. He’s not worth the max. He’s either injured or inconsistent.
Give me a break with PG 13. He does just enough to put up his numbers during the regular season, but come playoffs, he disappears. He is not the kind you need to win a tittle
Cooked later down the road, but after their additions, Clippers still have enough to reach the WCF IF Kawhi can stay on the court. You can't move into a new arena and suck ur 1st year in it. 🤷🏾♂️
Oh and PG got LOCKED up by newly Clipper Derrick Jones Jr. 😬
man i hate being a clippers fan
Well, it's the Clippers after all
They can compete for NBA Emirates Cup
The logic is simple, this team wont wont win a chip if kawhi is injured, even if pg and harden are playing, especially with a thin roster. But if Kawhi is healthy, even without PG, there is a chance. and they got hardworking role players in the process. Signing PG is not worth the trouble
When is he though?
PG sucks - one less bum on the team
Legacy of nothing
As a Raptors fan I hope Kawhi never wins anything in the NBA again. He took the Raptors for granted
What have the raptors done since he left again?
@@thedarkfrost2351What have the Clippers done since getting him?
Kawhi is the reason why they have a dinosaur ring
that's wild. He the reason yall got a championship and you wishing ill on him?? that's wild for real
He didn't choose the raps tho, but was traded there as "punishment". He always wanted to go home to L.A..he came in, got yall a chip, and dipped.
You criminally underrate the value of role players and learned nothing from the Celtics winning this year. The big three era is dead.
😂 who 🧠 can fill seats & jersey sales
They should not have resigned any of them.
He didn't want to sacrifice, like kawahi, Harden. They're not finished yet, they might be going after Miles Bridges, and the Clippers have to get younger and more athletic, and PG defense slipped a bit these last couple of years
It's not over for the Clippers, it's a new beginning for us. Let's go Clippers ❤
Pandemic GOAT got what he wanted the Clips got freedom to make the team younger and athletic.
So glad Toronto didn’t keep Leonard
Great! I love it
Isnt Terrance Mann really good?
Its easy to criticize them when you’re not really the one making decisions
We don’t care bout this Stanley cup winner video when????
Los Angeles Paper Clips
I think kawhi should twist his back and harden get in shape maybe get a lottery pick or just be cooked for awhile enjoy that new stadium
There will be a lot of teams not being able to sign their players cause of the new salary cap rules. The thunder wont look like now in two years. You won’t see teams with three max contracts.
They have no picks 😂 OKC fleeced them good ! Same old sad team 😢
The injury counter 🫠
You got ratioed for your clown take
Rise or another fall for Charlotte Hornets new ERA & new owners you're next video theScore 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Bro what is it with all of these clearly non-Clipper fan youtubers FROTHING at the mouth to call the Clippers a failure this week. As if getting injured 4 consecutive years after the bubble was their fault. Everyone loves bringing up how they sent so many picks to OKC, but the Knicks just sent 5 first round picks over for Mikal Bridges, a guy with ONE all NBA defensive award. The Twolves sent 5 Picks over for Rudy. Why is it crazy that 5 picks went to OKC for a player coming off 3rd in MVP voting?
Also......
ANYONE WHO SAYS THE PREDICTED SHAI BEING THIS GOOD IS A LIAR.
because they trash and need views. Everyone loved to hate the Clippers becuase we be busting they teams asses
Because at least the Knicks have a somewhat decent future ahead of them. Injuries stripped them a run to the conference finals. They have an upside in the coming years. TWolves just went to the conference finals themselves and they have Anthony Edwards to look forward to in optimism. In short, these two teams sent away first round picks because they know the time to win is now more than ever before.
OKC will be a powerhouse next season - nothing more to add there.
The Clippers? They have the always injured mr. load management Kawhi, folding under the pressure Harden, countless playoff defeats with no chance at a second round appearance in sight and no first round picks til the end of the decade speak volumes to how much they screwed up. Them draft picks sure would've come in handy now. We havent been calling the Clippers a failure this week - we've been doing it for decades now.
@@Tutankamion196 The Knicks gave all that up just to still be worse than the Celtics. Especially with them sending Hartenstein gone. Those draft picks would come in handy if we were a small market like the Hornets or Pistons lmao. Rich basketball players will always want to play in LA. The current Laker circus just makes the Clippers more appealing.
@@JawaPenguin16 That Hartenstein situation is concerning, yes, but who knows what the Celtics will look like next year. Championship teams haven't been performing well lately so we'll see.
Sure LA is a way of life but both them LA teams are a circus now
@@ShazammtheProducerWhen have they busted anyone’s ass? Maybe you’re talking about regular season. Come playoffs? Betting on the Clippers is like betting on the sun to rise the next day.
Theyll be fine, they should definitely look into Miles Bridges or Kyle Kuzma
You get injured you stop winning if you are not healthy you know winning is not a expected option anymore... enough of creating chemistry they are professional athletes who are not going to win all the time no matter how many owners want to be optimistic and create a reason to be competitive
Kawhi was injured with TOR, won a CHAMPIONSHIP = why can't LAC replicate that? #SoSimple

Lakers: Hey clips, we need more room at Staples Center to put up another championship banner. You mind moving down some of yours so we can make room. Oh, wait. That's right. You don't have any because you're the clippers. My bad. XD
Clippers: At least, we're not a joke of a circus like LeBron James has turned you into.
Lakers: Yeah, but that's only until he retires. But, you guys will always be a joke. Oh, feel the burn! 😂
Actually as long as Jeanie Buss owns the Lakers you're always gonna be a circus. Good luck lol. You're married to her for life and theirs no Bron or Kobe coming to save you.
@@JawaPenguin16 @thewolfofwallstreet627 Exactly. Comparatively speaking, the Lakers are a ghetto franchise compared to the Clippers moving forward and discounting their history. They can't get anybody of note to sign on to play with LeBron & Son Salvage business and their future won't look that promising even post-LeBron given that the ownership has been dysfunctional and not as well financed as their crosstown rivals. You got to feel for Anthony Davis. He was recruited to get a ring but also take over, but LeBron & Son looks to be lingering for a while.
@@JawaPenguin16Bronny is going to save them 😅😅😅
@@JawaPenguin16 jokes on you. I'm not a Lakers fan, so I get a good laugh out of this either way. lmao.
@@xoku people said the exact same thing when the Lakers couldn't sign anyone to play with an injury prone past his prime Kobe Bryant, during his finals years with the Lakers. Meanwhile, everyone was talking about how bright the future was for the Clippers. Guess what? How did that work out? Still no titles? Meanwhile, the Lakers got another title? Granted, it was a laughable bubble MIckey Mouse title that most die hard NBA fans know isn't as legitimate as the titles in the past. But even still, it's more than what the Clippers have gotten since.
The Clippers are just cursed. Most people aren't lining up to play with the Clippers. And I got news for you if you think Donald Sterling's family isn't involved with the Clippers, think again. When the NBA forced him to sell the team due to his racist statements, his wife sold it to Balmer on the condition that her family still retained a small ownership stake in the team. In other words, the wife of that racist bigot still is involved with the team, which is why players like LeBron and others would be hesitant to go there. Yeah, there's Kwahi that wanted to, but he's the exception to the rule. Not the rule.
