How the Clippers Did What Everyone Thought Was Impossible
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2024
- The Los Angeles Clippers have been one of the most dominant teams in the NBA when they've had Kawhi Leonard healthy and in the lineup alongside James Harden and Paul George. Despite questions about whether or not teams constructed with three seemingly "ball-dominant" players can word, the LA Clippers offense is firing on all cylinders and dominating teams on a nightly basis.
James Harden is having one of the best off-ball seasons of his entire career on the offensive end, and the trio of James Harden, Paul George, and Kawhi Leonard are all having career-high years in terms of catch and shoot efficiency. This isn't by accident; it's intentional. Ty Lue has orchestrated a masterful offense for the Los Angeles Clippers around this group of guys, and it's make the James Harden trade look genius.

If healthy, are the Clippers the favorite in the West? 👇
For sure the combination of PG Kawhi and Harden is almost impossible to guard for opposing teams and the added big man play from Zubac setting great screens and rolling perfectly, ready for a Harden or Westbrook dump-down or lob makes this team a force
I wouldn't say favourite but they sure is the biggest threath to denver.
Not over the Nuggets and the Wolves are scary.
Naa they're still too small and will struggle against big teams like the Lakers, Denver and Celtics. They need an Athletic PF.
Idk if they're big enough to stop the Nuggets. Zu is a great match for Jokic size-wise but the other Nuggets forwards are BIG.
I've seen so many superteams, so called, that couldn't figure out how to work together. I am actually impressed with the way the Clippers are working together, to make their offense better than the sum of its parts. I'm actually kind of rooting for them to stay healthy and go as far as they can.
Which is amazing considering that last year, PG and Kawhi were jokes of load management, Russ was coming off an awful Lakers stint, and Harden might have had the absolute worst rep by forcing his way out of Philly. Now look at them.
They are home in LA.
dude he didn't force out.... he was willing to play at the start of the season and then philly just traded him
He wanted max money
@@moogerchee2287wrong!
"Look at us..who would have thought...not us"...lol
Kawhi being the best iso scorer in the league is crazy. I see why he’s double and triple teamed almost every possession.
his claws can palm the ball so easily its ridiculous
maybe you missed the two championships he brought to two separate teams?
He only really lead one let’s not create narratives just bc he good
Luka
True
Westbrook playing manu for clippers is good. He bring in energy and another offensive threat.
Damn, I was already excited about the Clippers, but this video makes me like them even more. There was an infographic on one Clippers broadcast where Kawhi and Harden were respectively the first and second best iso scorers in the league (if I remember correctly). These guys are gelling so hard.
just watching harden being a floor general is such a joy to watch even to coaches as well. he just orchestrates everything so good like a conductor in music
He is the system
The offensive distribution is also great with all these guys being on the older side; allows them to mitigate some of the stamina issues that follow being older as well as saving more energy for them to defend.
For real, it is so resource expensive for what you are getting, but they all cover for each other, and somehow the Clippers still have some players around them. For this team, built around PG and Kawhi, this is the best version.
yeah russ can rest a lot and pg and kawhi can rest if they needed to
Hyper Russ off the bench really drains the other team also
How has Ty Lue not won coach of the year? His teams always play great. Completely underrated.
It’s one of those things where it’s not him not being good but some other coach being a bit better
The best two coaces in the league, Ty Lue and Erik Spo, are the best coaches who have not won.
Because doc rivers is always ahead 🤣
Most of his years in Cleveland he was discredited as a coach cause he had bron
injuries
crazy how bad the clippers started after the traded for james harden but ty lue since that point especially since the beginning of december has done a masterful coaching job and getting the big 3 of but in to shooting catch and shoot 3s which all of them were reluctantly taking at the beginning of harden being on the team
For real, each of these guys are good 3 pt. shooters, and that makes it able to work together, but only if they choose to work together. I'm impressed that these guys are able to handle their egos, and Ty Lue for sure has impressed me by getting it to work.
@@shorewallPaul George mentioned on his podcast that they all loved the process of trying to figure out how to play together when they were losing games, and now they are reaping the rewards. I hope they stay healthy and finally go all the way in the playoffs
Best analysis and breakdown I’ve heard in a while! Great content 👏
The scariest thing about this team is they also have a whole lot of playoff experience, wonder how far they can go
Shoutout Ty Lue and Westbrook
Having too many Allstars and one has to sit at the start is wild. Nuggets vs clippers will be legendary
But wonder how many will actually be on this years all star since they are scoring less
Id say at least 3 out of 4
@@boostlee5236 Kawhi is the teams leading vote getter I see only PG making it after him
harden is the most underrated passer of all time
You really believe so? I think he gets the respect he deserves when it comes to playmaking.
@@MrMaboto hes the only player to be called a ball hog while averaging double digit assists, everyone else gets completely glazed by espn
@@lairo253ehh Westbrook too but his case is different only cuz Westbrook always been known as a pg
@@lairo253facts, Harden has some what Tyrese Haliburton is currently doing now when he was on the Nets but everyone forgets that and go straight to hating on him; but now that Tyrese is doing it the glaze is unreal.
That's Pistol Pete Maravich and Cousy bc they played in the sixties.
this guy never to disapoint
i love what i see from Clippers. after all these years, i have finally had the confidence that this team can make to the summer this year.
great chemistry brewed by coach Lue.
THEIR only weakness is TY lue's refusal to play 10 guys and develop the younger players. This is a big reason their stars get injuries.
I agree
They play 9 kawhi, pg, harden, Mann, zu, Westbrook, norm, Coffey, theis plus Kobe brown has been getting decent minutes throughout the season
Brandon boston needs to get more minutes been high on him since 2021
At least the load that the 2 main guys have is not that heavy anymore. And they play freely now. It could preserve them for a playoff push.
@@Noname61574 they do play 9 sometimes buy look at the box score and the usually have 4 or 5 DNPCD and 1 of those is Brand Boston. Latley Kobe only sees the floor during garbage time. He should be going 10 deep most nights durring the regular season even if the DNPCD guys only get 5 minutes. Look at OKC he goes 10 deep and everybody plays at least once in a while that is how you develop younger players and not play your stars heavy minutes without risking injuries.
3:30 i thunk this play says all you need to know about the Clippers this season. Look at how happy Harden looks hitting that spot. The love and respect these guys have for each other is translating to the court and they’re playing beautiful basketball because of it.
I don't want to say it, but I told you so. I knew this team was gonna be the bomb
Amazing video as always
I'm so happy right now lol. May this amazing roll they are on last through June
awesome video well explained. !
great video. next level breakdown.
This is such an amazing and helpful video. Great content bro!
Excellent analysis - Thanks! Subbed.
The Clippers are fun to watch.

Thanks for the great great video
this is such a good breakdown... watching harden is a blessing
great video and breakdown, need more content like this
Really appreciate it man, and you’re in the right place if you like this kinda stuff
Awesome breakdown, I subbed
Great work 🤙🏿
3:39 looks simple but what a fast and strong pass
When healthy and on the court, Kawhi always been one of my favorite players. He’s the ultimate “if healthy..” guy so I’m glad to see him balling. I just hope it lasts till the playoffs 😅
Brilliant offense plus very good defense😮
Impeccable breakdown❤
Love watching pg and Kathi play ball man, I’m rooting for these dudes to go far and stay healthy finally
Superb breakdown my guy!! The ONLY reason i haven't subscribed is because i want Clippers content ONLY😏... I really wish the video was longer because you have done such a good job of making this stuff understandable.... Salute from Trinidad...✌🙏🇹🇹
Go clips go
great analysis
Nice breakdown bro
Bravo!! Great video and content!! Keep it up!! You'll get more subscribers soon
Amazing breakdown and analysis in this video with how effective the Clippers offense been. Gotta give kudos to Harden for unlocking Zubac offensive ability with their pnr, it’s really pick ur poison with this team. Hard to beat any team when u got 4 players shooting over 40% from 3pt line
amazing video
First time watching. Love the content. Keep it coming.
🤝
It's beautiful basketball. Harden will initiate the 1st - 2nd Qtrs, then Kawhi and PG will close the 3 or 4th. Not to mention the positive energy that Westbrook is providing on court.
When the season started and the harden trade happened there was a lot of people trying to get Ty Lue out of the clippers. The players have def stepped it up since then but people need to give Ty Lue his props for making it work this well especially with James Harden's history the last couple years
They're not doing anything new, just helping each other instead of playing 1v1. The pick n roll worked for wonders for Stockton and Malone....now we see it resurface.😎
Since 16 superteams offenses have been amazing. Stars with shooting ability(portability) have been amazing together. It’s been roster construction that’s been their championship downfall. Usually lacking depth or defense or rebounding. But playing together in a league where nearly every star takes multiple 3’s a game has worked.
Ty Lue deserves a ton of credit here. Top 3 coach in the league
great video! Wonder if there's a video about how the Lakers beat them last game
Thank you!!!
Hi Alex ☺️
The LA Clippers now are doing what KD's Nets should've been doing. Rather than spam iso and depend heavily on the Nets star players, the Clippers star players trust their teammates.
I want to say this could be their year but we've been here before. But man they do look impressive, and they have security in the playoffs because all their rotation guys are capable defenders with a suitable application. Given that all 4 of the stars and Norman Powell are from Southern California is cool too.
Terrence Mann must have the biggest smile on his face seeing how often he's left wide open! 😂
The Klaw is a Baseball Genius,no question about it!!
Hello SAS how now ?
Give credit to Ty Lue and the coaching staff. That’s something that the nets couldn’t figure out. Clippers balling crazy
Omg fans are now starting to realize players like Kawhi and Pg exist outside of Luka and Jokic ! 😮 Welcome
Do you think we need a clear PF or someone who is 6"10 or 6"11, great defender + good passer +good PnR..
because of the Lakers matchup a couple of games ago??
Vanderbilt or Wood plus AD were giving Zubac hell..as that PnR makes our iso game not to be over reliant..
Good Lord Ty Lue finally took my advice on how to play the big 3, I was in the middle of celebration suddenly I felt a slap in my face from my wife and she goes you dreaming and screaming loud. Thanks to my wife she saved me from the critics and basher for taking too much credit. Ohhhh what a dream 🤣🤣🤣
Lebron said it: this is Tyronn Lue team: he has made that players focus more on the ring than in their egos. Great coach and players manager
do analysis on cavs, they had a good run
In progress
As a Lakers fan I actually can't hate on how our downstairs roommates are cooking lately.
God bless ❤ much love to you all
yo, if the clippers don't make it to at least the 2nd round of the play off, i'm going to scream... they are ready and lacked in.. no more delays, lets go!
are you planning to create an fb page soon?
Where are the James Harden haters at ?!? 😎 Proud to stay loyal to my fav NBA player even in those dark times✨
How do you get your film?
What's really making this team kill is that pick and roll. Having Harden had made zubac a real threat offensively. Adding that attention you have to pay to the pick and roll, then to the isos that kawii and pg can run at anytime plus hardens pin point passing then in an actual offense its next to impossible to stop
Tai Lu (misspelling intentional) is probably the second best coach in the league, behind Spoelstra.
Maybe AI should step on Ty Lue harder. He might be #1.
Hoping klaw can help these guys get their first rings and his 3rd!! Best 2way in the world!
bro giving the defense too much game now every defensive coach gonna watch this video
It aint genius. 4 all-stars combined to one team is automatic a monster team. All 4 were star players in their respective previous teams.
Congrats, you've completely missed the point of the video!
Kawhi is the man on clippers team😊
Theyre really a contender if Kaehi and PG stay healthy, and Harden plays motivated
I'm not sure I really like this kind of basketball, but I am so happy for the four musketeers that they find out how to play together and shut up the media clowns after all the 💩 they thrown to them in the last two years.
Is this another another Jerry west team cultur success?
Mark my words!! They are winning the chip!
I’ll be back in June
Nah, they can't beat Lakers
New area means new ring. It’s a business the NBA needs to make sure we sell out for this new arena. All about the $
Kawhi, Harden, PG, & Westbrook are all from LA.
Robot back Health is everything He the reason why we say that in the NBA he is been lighting it up from everywhere since he back Clippers Top 2 scariest teams right now Combining 4"superstars" with too much offensive fire power and not having defensive issues makes em the scariest outside Boston i dont see better no offense to others like Denver Wolves Okc ...
Harden has been the key. He looks like mvp candidate
Clippers probably also have most gorgeous looking play of the season when all 4 of 5 starters touched the ball leading to a Zu lob. Do you know which play im talking about? Clips win it all this year!!
Harden is just insane
Ty Lue will always find a solution
what a nightmare
Great video, but no need to show Westbrick at the end.
BIIG ZUUU ❤
Kawhi and PG can play off ball. That’s why they can gell together with Harden
An example that James Harden IS the system. :)
I don’t know why everyone talk him like a god…..
Russ has also been strangely efficient... for him.
Props to Ty Lou for coaching the best offense the Cavaliers ever had and the best offense the Clippers ever had. An all NBA big 3 doesn't hurt, but we've seen it not work out a few times, too.
he is not forcing shoot anymore... and now as leader of 2nd unit, he can play his style without interrupting 1st unit rhythm...
46% is above league average…. He’s efficient for any player😂
Hidden lol!
It’s Steve Ballmer buying his way to a championship with star stacking!
That’s the hidden feature!🙄
I think a team with multiple great defenders could stop them like the celtics
This is what the suns wish they are
Now they’re geniuses lol
fr. people were trashing them by end of Nov when they 5-9 that month, but it was an early overreaction.

@@sanjj_1 facts
All the people telling me Kawai was washed are now acting like they never said it. 😂 I was trying to tell everyone Kawhi Leonard‘s knee had a botched surgery. he needed to get surgery again or a complete year off. But there were so much media pressure and all the idiots who are sheep and repeat exactly what they are told would not allow that.
So it was a blessing in disguise that is ACL tore again because he got proper surgery this time. All the haters saying how he’s perpetually injured do not understand when you get a ligament replaced and it’s botched, it’s completely unstable and can go at any moment and that’s what Kawaii was feeling for the last two years. When he tore his knee, he still scored 38 points in the playoffs two games in a row, and when he’s on the court, he’s always the best player there is.
If he had a better personality, we would talk about him as one of the greatest .
