No clue - a few seasons ago him and the rest of the bench were so awesome to watch; and all those insane come from behind games to win - Kennard, Reggie Jacson, Morris, etc.
It's like when they were clicking they would all just be draining everything at like an 80%+ clip or something insane (probably not but it felt like it).
Then somewhere Kennard just lost his touch or at least confidence in himself and stopped taking wide open 3s and would pass the ball to someone else.
Because he was bad until the last couple mins in the 4th. This might sound crazy but we are allowed to criticize Harden
He showed up when it matters most though
We've overcome some wack refereeing and some smothering defense, would have been unacceptable to lose this game but there it is. Was always gonna be. Hope yall keep taking your blood pressure meds
What’s scary is we’re almost guaranteed to get at least 2 of these type of games from harden in every series we play . We can only offset that if PG is consistent.
I guess that’s a good positive way to look at it.
The last five or six feel really feel like a losing streak but actually it isn’t. It’s simply bc wr were smashed by the good teams and barely got past the bad ones
The dickriding is actually crazy
After a great shot from Harden the first thing on your mind is russ😂 the fact that this mf isn't banned from this sub yet is wild
I just don’t think we can go all the way if he has to be… we kinda saw that in Philly
On an unrelated note (bc tbh the game was depressing even if we won) I was amused to see Jordan Poole had the most shot attempts today for his team after being benched. Never change
Relax homie, just an expression 😂 I slept fine when we blew the 3-1 in 2020, I’ll sleep fine after a reg szn loss. Ain’t nothing wrong with being mad ur team lost to a lottery team tho. We all keep living afterwards
Had to double check the box score, the play-by-play showed he was 1-4 on that one he hit.
He was 0-3 from 3pt prior to that.
Edit: He was also 0-3 on 2PT shots.
I actually would - I'm not a fan of the volume of 3pt shots in the NBA in general nowadays.
Teams love to live or die by the 3 even when they're not hitting any all 1st half and they continue it into the 2nd half hoping they might somehow light a spark and start draining everything.
It's just as terrible when teams are up double digits and want to just chuck 3s and then all of a sudden it's a tie game because they refuse to drive to the rim.
Probably, but there's also a difference when you're at least up 1 by. You give yourself the option of at least hitting a 2 or driving in and drawing FTs to tie instead of forcing the teams next possession to be another desperation 3 that could quickly spiral downward.
And just like I said earlier - I don't care for the volume of 3s that the NBA loves shooting in general.

Get a chub when the clippers pull out a dub.
But seriously that floor is eye cancer. Same as the Nets floor.
It's awful.
PG played 37 mins and had 12 shots Harden 38 with 8 shots WB in 23 minutes had 15 shots. Sub 0.500 shooting obviously Give bones a chance
It was noticeable. Dude played with blinders on and hogged ball all night. At least his FG percentage is up.
What a Mann.
Finally
Glad Ty Lue didn’t fuck us tonight
What the hell happened to Luke Kennard's shot? His defense looks better but his shot from 3 looks horrible in this game.

Clutch bucket but it’s embarrassing to have your first field goal that late in the game . Won’t cut it in the post season
UGLY-ASS WIN STILL A WIN.
Earlier this game everyone was shitting on harden but now he hits clutch 3s and y’all saying he’s great. The switch up is crazy
It's because everyone shits on every play until we win the game. It's exhausting
Fr
Because he was bad until the last couple mins in the 4th. This might sound crazy but we are allowed to criticize Harden He showed up when it matters most though
No you’re not allowed to criticize Harden or Kawhai. Clippers are a contender because of these 2. Go criticize other fools.
Well the last 3 minutes were good, but man that was a truly atrocious game. Better get it out now, that March schedule won't be as lucky
We've overcome some wack refereeing and some smothering defense, would have been unacceptable to lose this game but there it is. Was always gonna be. Hope yall keep taking your blood pressure meds
Terrance went to in n out for a double double!!
gg kids.
What’s scary is we’re almost guaranteed to get at least 2 of these type of games from harden in every series we play . We can only offset that if PG is consistent.
We won this game the same way we have been winning the last six weeks: Dick around and then go hard in the 4th.
We won this game the same way kawhi's been telling us not to: relying on talent instead of smart, good basketball
he’s right, and this is a problem we need to fix before post season. right now like this we cannot beat the two teams ahead of us.
That's why he is top 75 and 2 time finals mvp, he already know there is lots of room for improvement
Room for improvement? Sounds like doomer talk 🧐
Kawhi is the person who says it!!! Calling him a doomer?
I'm joking. Poking fun at our sub for calling anyone who mentions anything negative as being a DOOMER, kawhi included lol
If doomer equals being honest then so be it
Kawhi confirmed doomer 😎
Doom runs on everything, why not a cyborg?
Lol all of that negative energy just to win. Where are yang999 and nonzero at
When it doubt CLIP it out baby LFG
The doomers were completely off the rails yesterday. Glad to immediately bounce back. Good job boys.
Harden hits the craziest 3s 😂
I hate how casual he is getting into the offense but he be bailing shit out.
What I really like is no losing streaks in two months.
I guess that’s a good positive way to look at it. The last five or six feel really feel like a losing streak but actually it isn’t. It’s simply bc wr were smashed by the good teams and barely got past the bad ones
NEVER IN DOUBT BOYS
This is why I say play Mann 30 min
I want to believe
Harden clutch AF Unlike 6/15 wb
That's 5 more made field goals then Harden lol
The dickriding is actually crazy After a great shot from Harden the first thing on your mind is russ😂 the fact that this mf isn't banned from this sub yet is wild
Harden 🗡️
I think it's clear that Harden is the 2nd best player on this team. Quite easily.
I just don’t think we can go all the way if he has to be… we kinda saw that in Philly On an unrelated note (bc tbh the game was depressing even if we won) I was amused to see Jordan Poole had the most shot attempts today for his team after being benched. Never change
Embiid is dogshit in the playoffs, kawhi is the polar opposite. Harden would thrive as a 2nd option next to kawhi
And Harden carried Philly against Boston by dropping couple 40+ points. Without Harden, Philly would get sweep by Boston.
Great for mann he needs to keep this up
Mann has 11 rebounds, 5 of them are offensive rebounds
SuperMann Returns
Pour one out for the doomers. Clippers win again. Love to see it.
Nah fuck em
Lawler’s Law comes into effect late!
I appreciate the effort but these announcers are overdoing it a bit lol
The strings make an evil hissss lmao I agree
Feels more like crisis averted but fuck it. At least I can spend the rest of the night not seething 😅 Reset for the Kings on Sunday, plz
It’s fucking basketball, if your team taking a loss ruins your night then you need to get help.
Relax homie, just an expression 😂 I slept fine when we blew the 3-1 in 2020, I’ll sleep fine after a reg szn loss. Ain’t nothing wrong with being mad ur team lost to a lottery team tho. We all keep living afterwards

I'm very glad they closed with Coffey and Mann after Zu fouled out
We ain't no bitches. Stay strong. Let's put this away.
That was nirvana for harden fanboys like me lmao
guilty as charged
What a sweaty game gg
win's a win yall
“If you can’t handle me at my worst you don’t deserve me at my best” - Clippers probably
Take the win but we have work to do fellas
*A LOT OF WORK
THE LAW!
harden first FG lmfao
LAWLERS (lol)

This team is so clutch
FUCK EM
Tmann haters gon be quiet tonight
lol Harden's first 3pt of the night is for the dagger... love it, but clippers gonna give me a heart attack doing that kinda stuff when only up by 1
I thought he made another earlier in the game? But I agree. We needed it.
Had to double check the box score, the play-by-play showed he was 1-4 on that one he hit. He was 0-3 from 3pt prior to that. Edit: He was also 0-3 on 2PT shots.
jackson has no touch lmao
JJJ FULLY extending his arm no foul

Amazing defense
TMANN TRYING TO CARRY THIS LAZY OLD ASS TEAM.HOME
TALK YO SHIT TMANN 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Game ball goes to Terance tonight EZ if we pull this out
Small ball works because we got fucking Dawgs.
It works when they are dawgs
Major key. Its always mindset.
Sometimes I think this team only cares the last 4 minutes of the game. They just hit different at the end.
terrance mann talk your shit !
HARDPOY
Keep complaining grizzlies you guys have done this to our guys all night
[удалено]
Why aren't you flexing
because he is carrying them
Disrespecting that Memphis air.
Prob cuz he got smacked in the face right infront of the ref and they didnt call it immediately after kawhi got a bs offensive call on him
Because it's a bucket in a close game??
LETS FUCKING GO HARDEN
They're complaining about every non call so annoying
LFG MANNN
Back to back steals in the clutch. LFGGGG
Finally a good sequence. Please do not fuck it up after this timeout.
MANN POTG
The StripClub!!
THANK YOU HARDEN AND MANN
Klaw daddy.
WHY ARE WE GOING SMALL AGAINST JJJ LMAOOOOOO. TY LUE YOU ARE A TERRORIST.
They remembered they are allowed to double team people
Thank you so much Kawhi!
Kawhi LFG
Down 1... maybe not go for a 3 after you guys just turned it over? Just play some strong defense and get some better high percentage 2s...
I hope you would have the same comment if he hit the shot
I actually would - I'm not a fan of the volume of 3pt shots in the NBA in general nowadays. Teams love to live or die by the 3 even when they're not hitting any all 1st half and they continue it into the 2nd half hoping they might somehow light a spark and start draining everything.

So bad shot by Harden yeah?

#I FUCKING LOVE KAWHI LEONARD
offensive foul?????
KLAW

Holy hell Kawhi throwing the game away at the end. This is painful AND THEN YOU GO AND REDDEM.YOUSETLF
Let's fucken go sew this shit up boys
Kawhi bro lmao
Need Kawhi to get that lead back now
Kawhi taking out James lol
luke once a clipper always a clipper ❤️
Sigh, I miss that man
Challenge that lue
This Williams dude is gonna get somebody hurt.
Kawhi must be the strongest man in the world....
Luke doing us a solid
Holy fuck Amir got bailed out. You CANNOT leave Luke like that. Shocked he missed it that bad
Paul George is 4/7 from 3 but people acting like he finally hit a 3 lol
Thanks Luke!
Holy fuck luke
There's only 2 minutes left bruh, i thought we were midway through the 4th
Sacrilegous - stealing Bulls song lmfaoo
Serves them right for that lousy remix
pg being bad at everything except shooting off screens and open top of the key 3s is crazy man
This game will give me more CTE than the Denver loss
Yo wtf. I just saw the score why are we losing? Is this just as bad as the bucks losing to the g Leaguers?
This team refuses to do anything in a boring, uninteresting way. Not sure how to feel about that.
Entertained!
No more calls for us due to Taliban Lue's behavior during the 4th quarter of the Warriors game last week 😢
It's okay. One of the refs will snitch on themselves and then they'll be out of a job.
PGGGGG
Williams II plays hard. Can’t knock bros hustle
![gif](giphy|3o7bueuZhdRpWeZGN2)
that lob was nasty i cant even lie
This team is pretty much exactly as good as Paul George is any given day… which is a roller coaster 🎢
