And the offense isn't even p[laying well outside of the Harden/Zubac P&R and Norman Powell. Most of the offense is second chance points, and fast breaks off of defensive/hustle plays. When the offense starts rolling this is a top 4 team behind OKC Boston and... maybe they are a top 3 team. Dallas had a fluke season and the Timberwolves downgraded themselves for some reason.
They're missing a bench scorer big time, if either Norm or Harden go down it'll be almost impossible to generate enough offense to makeup for them and they're playing guys extended minutes currently.
@@SamSanatorium He's been horrible so far, eventually they gotta look at Miller, I think he can make a significant impact. He's got everything we looking for in a guard.
I knew that Clippers wouldn't be as bad as all the analysts and youtubers were making them out to be. But I didn't expect them to be this good without Kawhi.
I am a Clippers fan, but I understand. There are a lot of good teams in the West. Tough to put Clippers over them when they lost PG. But I still think Clippers will still finish top 5 in the West.
Hey, I'm a Clippers fan from the UK and I watched the game against Nuggets and was impressed with the teams synergy together.. Harden knows where Zubac is at all times. Also the fight to take the suns to OT and only loose by 3 is incredible.
Nothing new for clipper fans, media and nba fans want the clippers to be bad so bad they don’t even use reason, especially after 2020 when they got Kawhi
Anytime you have a great role players you will always be a competitive and win bunch of regular season games. A great defense will give you a high floor.
I figured giving Harden a chance to gel with the guys in the off-season would make them much better and it looks like that’s panning out. Hope they keep this going.
Thank you for giving us credit. A lot of these big nba RUclipsrs immediately counted us bc Kawhi is out. As if we weren’t competitive without him and PG for the majority of the 2021-22 season lmao
As a clipper fan I’m actually happy to go under the radar ! Keep building on this start and hope when Kawhi comes back we could get on a roll. We’ll see . Go Clips !
@@gabrielklushkan2438he easily would if he got the minutes. Miller has that bucket factor that’s more trusting than KPJ or Bones. Weird to say considering he hasn’t really played past the GLeague, but when you watch him he’s way too good for that. But without those minutes we will never see it
Those wins wouldn’t be so close if KPJ made at least half of his shots. Sooner or later Miller or Bones gotta get a shot at taking those minutes if he doesn’t get it together
@@ivanjimenez7202 kpj is gonna get the most minutes out of all of them he’s just better and better built. 6’3 with a crazy wingspan is what we’re looking for ina gaurd. Plus he’s got alright hustle on defense. His shooting hasn’t been awful just needs to hone in. It’s literally game 3 there’s plenty of time for him.
@gabrielklushkan2438 Miller is 6'5 with a 7ft wingspan, his fundamentals all look better than KPJ as well, better defensively, better shooting mechanics, better finisher. He's better. Don't forget KJ Martin was averaging 13ppg on 56% right next to KPJ and when Martin got here he was arguably our worst player.
@@gabrielklushkan2438he’s so bad it’s not even funny. Crazier it’s all mental he let little kids and miserable poor ppl who can’t even dribble a basketball make him believe he’s absolutely garbage and he plays like it now every game 😭
Literally what I've been saying since they got rid of PG. Don't get me wrong, they didn't get better, but they didn't get worse. I see this team ending top 6 in the West. But I don't see them winning without Kawhi
I cant help but be pissed off watching them right now, knowing they had this or similar squads all the way during the Kawhi and PG era, but couldnt capitalize. Think of LouWill, Beverley, Covington, Morris, Cousins, Reggie, Kennard, Wall, Russ, Hartenstein, Rondo, Shamet. So many good players mismanaged during these years.
Paul George stagnated our offense and was never effective without the ball in his hand. Norm can get buckets just as well and he can actually play as a spot up shooter or a solid slasher. I do love this new offense running through the Zubac/Harden pick and roll. Djj, Dunn, Nico were amazing defensive pickups and role players. I see us finishing around a 6 seed even without Kawhi
Harden is like the anti LeBron. He makes other guards play worse while making bigs look way better than they are. Bron makes his bigs look worse and his guard teammates look better
Slow down a little bit. Will be hard for Harden to keep this up all season and Powell is just on a straight heater, shooting lights out. They should have lost that nuggets game but for some reason the NBA refs are still letting Harden flop and get calls. I thought this wasn't supposed to happen anymore. He shoots and just literally falls to the ground and gets a foul call. Anyway, let's see how they are looking after game 30 when Harden is feeling the season in his weary bones.
@@arguseyed9982 Jokic is always on a heater. He didn't even play that well that game. Powell had 22 points in the 4th quarter, didn't even miss a shot. Joker can and will do that all season. The question is will Powell? Maybe but probably not.
@@roycependers Jokic made 7 threes, he aint doing that all season, in fact he never did that before. Rest of the Clippers shot a poor 5/22 from three, Powell just evened it out to a mediocre team average - 36%
@@gabrielklushkan2438 Kawhi has no cartilage left in his knee, it's bone on bone in there, this is a fact and has been known about Kawhi since his days in the Spurs as he has a degenerative knee issue where he loses cartilage over time, which is why the Spurs traded him. Lonzo had the same issue which is why he got the surgery for a cartilage implant, which is an experimental operation and it is unknown if it will be effective over a long period of time. Kawhi can come back but his knee issue will never go away. He is too old to try that surgery as well, it's not really worth it for him as it's a 1-2 year recovery/rehab period.
Y'all was saying we would be towards the bottom of the league though. This team night not be contenders but they sure as hell not at the bottom. Now y'all changing the narrative

We have yet to see. The Clippers need to adjust on their role players are going to adjust once Kawhi comes back.
problem is he gotta stay healthy
People failed to realize that this team is stacked with phenomenal role players. They can stay competitive without Kawhi, no problem.

They have an all time great playmaker in James harden. However if he goes down the clippers’ offense would immediately look completely lost
I knew that Clippers wouldn't be as bad as all the analysts and youtubers were making them out to be. But I didn't expect them to be this good without Kawhi.
I knew they’d be at least decent because a harden led team has never been bad
They could be 3-0 record in the West because they gave Phoenix a very close game.

The media didn't jump on the OKC bandwagon until it was too late, the Clippers are the new dark horse with that lockdown Defense.
Harden turned Zubac into Capella and Powell into Eric Gordon lmao
my thoughts exactly, very reminiscent of the rockets before CP joined
And T Mann into PJ Tucker
Those guys are really stepping up
Deep High effort 1-12 roster > two stars and two super subs who cannot play 48 minutes of defense because they also have to carry the offense
Nothing new for clipper fans, media and nba fans want the clippers to be bad so bad they don’t even use reason, especially after 2020 when they got Kawhi
They so happy Kawhi injured and out and so mad the Clippers still winning 😂🔥

Clippers are the most winning franchise for the last 14 years. They only thing that has held them back is injuries late in the season.
@ wow.
As a season ticket holder, I just want them to be competitive. They are, so far.
Really hope kpj finds his jumper I really want to see him do good. But if not let’s get bones some minutes 😂love the team so far tho!

People hate the clippers. We’re used to it. They are STILL VERY competitive, Kawhi takes them over the top.
God I love your accent lol
Seems like Zubac figured out
1st - we are only 3 games in
2nd - the real clippers fan know we are stacked, and we have a deep bench with a lot of talent
We were expecting that :)
We just need KPJ and Mann to step up offensively. Batum plays his role well. He doesn't need to score to impact the game. His plus/minus says it all.
Nic BATUM
How come no one is talking about - Clippers can trade Tucker 11mil, Bones 4mil to bring in J Clarkson 14mil
But without kawhi, no closer. We need him against juggernauts team-- lakers, celtics, okc
I said before the season that they are a fringe contender with a healthy kahwi. Without kahwi they will be a play in team
I believe clippers will be better if the raptors trade portal get something in return raptors will be a playoff team
They’re not winning anything or even making a deep playoff run, but they’ll be serviceable in the regular season
