For the past 10 years, the Clippers have had some of the best players in the NBA. And for the past 10 years, they have been a part of some of the biggest disappointments in NBA history, but it was all preventable because they keep making the same mistake over and over again. The Clippers are the most disappointing team, *but how did we get here?* I’m going to talk about how they can save their season and entire franchise.
When you think of the NBA’s most EXCITING teams of the 2010s… which teams do you think of?
In 2015, the Clippers were awarded with 32 national TV games… the MOST in the NBA. Not LeBron's team; not KD's team; not Steph's team… but the CLIPPERS were the most exciting the league had to offer at this point!
And that’s piece one: the Clippers had BIG expectations… but even BIGGER letdowns.
They also had the BEST offensive rating in the NBA and even the NINTH best defense… putting them among only four teams to have a top-10 ranking on both sides of the ball! **The hype was real**… there were INSANE highlights every week…
The Clippers for three years in a ROW after that, smack-dab in the middle of a crowded 2010s era, were top-five in preseason championship odds. Chris Paul averaged double-digits in assists three years in a row, Blake Griffin was the NBA’s most FEARED high-flier next to LeBron James… as BOTH guys finished in the top TEN in MVP voting in 2015.
They even beat the NBA champion Spurs in 7 games of the first round that year.
Griffin sprains his ankle in the 2013 playoffs, Donald Sterling, their owner, said to not bring black people to the games in 2014, Chris Paul hurts his hamstring in 2015, broke his finger in 2016, Griffin breaks his toe in 2017.
The Clippers curse was in full effect. But the reasons for Lob City failing to reach their huge potential ran deeper than just injuries.
When they were at their best from 2014 to 2016, the Clippers FAILED to even make it to the Conference Finals… including two first-round exits… and that absolutely forgetful series in 2015 when the Clippers stopped Harden and Dwight Howard… but couldn’t stop Corey Brewer and Josh Smith, and blew a 3-1 lead with Chris Paul and Blake Griffin…the Clippers that’s gonna come back to bite.
The Clippers’ team chemistry got WORSE as the disappointing playoff exits piled up. That quote I mentioned earlier about cooperation was actually from head coach Doc Rivers! The quote on their pettiness was from sharpshooter JJ Redick…
When the Clippers gave up that massive haul to bring in Paul George and pair him with top free agent signing Kawhi Leonard… they didn’t think they’d STILL be without a title nearly FIVE years later…
Especially considering that they gave up SGA, Danillo Gallinari, and FIVE first round picks!
Their first season together felt like their best shot… until 3-1 happened again. They were up in every single close out game against the Nuggets and lost every single one, losing 4-3, and you get pandemic P.
2021 looked even more promising… until Kawhi’s ACL went! But again, five years and only ONE Conference Finals appearance is a major disappointment…Actually, in their first 4 years together they’ve played 142 games together, less than half of the total possible games and part of that was intentional.
Though Kawhi and PG13 are still trying to do what Lob City couldn’t… They exposed one of the glaring downfalls of the Clippers organization… Piece #2, giving players too much power.
Even though their highly questionable relationship was well documented in the media… and even though it often boiled to the surface, the Clippers never tried solving the issues between their two superstars as they should have.
And if there’s ONE thing from this entire piece that I can take to summarize the story of Clippers that season… It's this quote from an anonymous Clippers staff member, who said “I thought from the beginning, ‘We’re doomed. Kawhi wants too much special treatment.”
Not only that, but players on the team took issue with Kawhi purposely arriving late for team flights; Paul George also was involved in canceling team practices; and the BIGGEST of ‘em all… Teammates felt that Kawhi and PG were able to pick and choose when they played, which rubbed guys the wrong way.
Which leaves them where they are today: either they’ll go and win it all with all this elite-but-aging talent…
Or they’ll be left with NO other option but to completely blow it up. They traded everything they had left to get Harden and have no one left under contract next year, this is the all or nothing play.
**They’re going to need to come to a solution for the long run**… and that’s by implementing a culture that unites the players and management, and developing their own talent through the draft.

Talking NOW? One month removed from all of this talk. Putting together a 9 win and 5 win streak? Going from 10th to 4th in the West? Trade PJ Tucker. They're gonna try to keep Bones Hyland, but they need someone at the 4 and I don't see any teams wanting JUST Tucker. There is a bit of discontent with PJ but I'm willing to wager that Bones has a bit of discontent as well. I just don't know who they would get though.
Losing to Denver last night had to be one of the most embarrassing losses of all time. Denver didn't have Jokic, Murray, or Gordon (arguably their 3 best players), were on the 2nd night of a back-to-back, were on the road, and the Clippers were fully healthy and rested, and they still beat the Clippers.
Besides that, it’s pretty cool to see how deep the Nuggets roster is and showcases how useful they truly were in that crazy playoff run 🔥
@shinysniper9537 they got cooked by a near retirement DeAndre Jordan and a role player in Jackson while mpj played trash there will never be a good excuse for the clippers to have lost without 3 of the nuggets best players playing
What about the Heats lost against when the Warriors when the Warriors don’t have Steph, dray, and okay in 2022?
@@williamcarver121he said “one of the most.” Regardless though bearing 4 HOFers with basically the Nuggets bench was crazy
Literally the clippers trading for Harden will go down as the most unnecessary nba and sports history. They didn't need to trade for Harden they looking good without him early on in the season the problem with the clippers the past 3 years had been health.
Id say they were even better even before the kawhi and PG trade
Steve Ballmer is desperate lol what do you expect he wants to win now even if it takes risks
@@swasho2939the Clippers problem has always been being good but not good enough to win the chip😅 so I understand why they make those trades.
@williamvn2928 they were pretty good and just needed a few small pieces but not make a big one like Harden
why？ are they winning before the harden trade?NO.clippers never won and will not win anything before harden. so it doesn’t matter if they will not after harden trade. they just the same.
As a OKC fan, I express my deepest gratitude to the Clippers organization 😂.
Thank you 🤧
Trading for PG will go down as the worst trade in NBA history.
Yo it's nuts cause they have NO comtrol over their 1st round picks for the next 8+ years...
Brooklyn Situation 2.0
Plus all 4 of their stars are free agents at the end of the season. They literally have to blow it up at the trade deadline or else they risk losing everything and everyone for nothing. I do think Kawhi and Paul gonna get extended (even though you can't trust these two players because of injuries). Long story short they are screwed. Teams in the west are only getting better.
And thestars will be free agents after this season to so they need to either blow it up and get picks and rebuild or risk losing everything for nothing
@@rayburks7059 Who is giving them picks for 1 year rentals of injury prone superstars at or approaching the end of their prime?
This ain't MyGM on 2K
@@bigpoppa3999 I'd rather them let everyone walk. They'll have a clear salary sheet, they can rebuild the culture (and stop letting players do whatever they want), and be set to go after the next generation of talent through free agency.
It's already been confirmed Kawhi would say the day of games sometimes at shootaround that he wasn't playing bc he was "sore" or "doesn't have it today". A good chunk of LAC games lineups weren't even set until a couple hrs before tip. If Kawhi has/had that power I can't see PG not having it bc he didn't seem to take issue w/it. That's why Kawhi saying the new minimum games rules weren't going to help him play more games is wild as hell 😂. He's playing now but let him wake up wrong one day in January, he's out a week.
Clippers have no basketball culture. You can be the richest person on the planet but you can't just buy a championship. You need people who know how to win. Not only the players, coaches, front office, etc.
The richest billionaire NBA owner and still can’t buy a championship.
talent without chemistry is nothing
The clippers are just going to be a team that’s forever cursed to lose 😂
They could have MJ Lebron and Shaq on their team and still get a .500 record
@@jacobsmithr1819 honestly you can throw in an entire team of the best super stars both as starters and bench players and the clippers some how lose.
great content bro, keep going!!
Kawaii should have stayed with Toronto
Thnx:) MJ 🙏love your video👌👌👌
I'd say to blow it up but Clippers don't have any of their picks for the next 6-7 years.
They might as well ride it out now
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
@@carboy101 They don't have any other choice. But I think it's time to move on Ty Lue. Let another coach come in and see if that person can fix this mess.
@@pfpchad2747 A new couch won't make the players more available. The problem is the players don't play. You don't even know if he's a good or bad coach because he's never had the full roster.
Well, consider that the Inglewood Clippers all-time winning percentage is *2ND TO LAST* only ahead of the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES, if you have any high hopes for the Clippers, just prepare to be disappointed, always.
The most disappointing team in the NBA today is my Pistons. These past 4 years have been nothing but pain. And when fans thought this would be the Pistons breakout year, we go on a 14-game losing streak that could be extended to 15 by the end of today. Making this our franchise worse losing streak.
We lost a game against the Nuggets with no Murray, no Jokić, and no coach. Then a couple games later, have a blowout loss against the second worst team in the East. And our star player played in both games. 😭
Leonard or George are not that guy. For sure Westbrook and Harden really aren't that dude.
As a Clippers (Mainly Paul George) fan, I'm about done watching the NBA...
Lob city was lit fun super entertaining and using them in 2k was nice
they should be named L.A. Curse
Why isn't Steve Ballmer getting more blame? He's the one who pushed the Harden trade through when the GM didn't want it, and I think he also made the PG trade happen. Dude should stick to billionaire things because he obviously is a superstar chaser with no understanding of basketball and team chemistry
Heykeep talking about this.Thanks . They sold their soul for that loser and honestly if it wasn't for his he just be an average player superstar turned average player. Not worth the drama..no way.
"All NBA teams have one goal... To win the championship"
Idk about that, maybe long term but certainly not short term
Not 1 😞
James Harden went from clutching up and leading a Rockets Team to victory despite 1-3 deficit to the Clippers, to now being a Clipper. Bro actually used to be good in game 7s I completely forgot. Talk about falling off 💀
The thumbnail's 2014 (138-76) game is nowhere to be found in the record. TF
Most intriguing video content about the Most lamest team in the galaxy 😂
That Lob City 2013 Clippers was my Fave team, I play 2k14 just for them, let my Mycareer be traded on that team.
Unless you are from Detroit...
Imo the clippers are the Dallas cowboys of the NBA for how much were told by analysis to take them serious as contenders and choke year after year
My only regret is Kawhi going there.
Kawhi should have gone to the Lakers, he would have 3 more rings by now, but did not want to play under the shadow of Lebron
Meh, he's broken now.
@@T1Oraclewhat?
@@imhimdk1785ACL tear
They’ve won big in the first of back-to-back the last 2 times…and lost badly the 2nd night…this time too they’ve won big…hmmmmmm
Russ didn't like harden. Harden ego is big. Thinking he don't work hard a bit he get a championship. That why he choose clipper since kawhi paul and russ is there. He saying he is system although he is the problem. The system he use is lazy system. Now i think russ want to force his way out from clippers sooner or later.

hi
So wonderful to see, L.A. has 2 super teams and they both suck.
Lakers superteam?
Will the buck do the same thing?
Doc Rivers Is To Blame..
Nah
Tine for clippers to leave LA
Yuhhhh
Low-key I feel like it’s the fact that the clippers don’t have much of a fanbase. It’s mostly just people who hate LA and want to see them fail. there’s not that much diehard clippers fans.
Well, LA is always purple and gold. Clippers have to win a chip to win over Angelenos heart. But with the current roster? Though sell.
Besides, it not just about the chip alone, but winning it while spearheaded by a homegrown franchise player. Every championship teams with strong fanbase have that. Lakers, obviously, since the early years of NBA, Celtics the other, Spurs, Bulls, current Nuggets, Warriors, Heat. Rockets, Pistons.
@@manchesterunitedno7agreed, no one actually cares about the team itself, they only exist bc they sell tickets. Theres no culture behind them.
@@rafaeldrang2924 There was a joke back then when the Clippers was still called the poverty team (Really, past owner was money pinching prick). The only reason Angelinos watching the team on The Forum because The Lakers was on away games, and no live basketball game in the city.

lebron was never feared and never a high flyer except if you meaqn high on PEDs
Females refn and calln games now 🤦♂️
Can anybody explain why clowns like harden earn so much ! Why so many honest and hard working fellow Americans are in poverty?
I agree clippers are the most disappointing team in all franchises all this talent no rings no finals appearances is disgusting
