is it me.....or is balmer the only other owner that truly gets into the game like marc cuban

Ballmer is the most promising thing about the Clippers - they actually have an owner that cares and is likable now. Iirc, he is working to get them out of Staples, but still in LA, and I agree with the move, the Clippers having the weakest home crowd in the league is not good for their future

 

[Servbot24]

How do y'all rank Hayward? Top 30? He seems to be quiet on the games I've seen him.

was going to say.....if I was an NBA player, shit I'd play for him or Cuban no doubt

 

[Mrbob]

That's not hell at all.

to me it sounds like a spurs team without a kawhi leonard.....thats not hell, thats one move away from a 1 or 2 seed team

Too good to get a top draft pick to take the next step but not good enough to win and against the top teams. I dont mean to say they are bad, just that they are stuck.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Ballmer should move the team to Seattle.

That's been the Pacers for 15 of the last 20 years. It's not a bad place to be.

 

[Mory Dunz]

wtf

 

[notoriousKTR]

Lol, just looked at the box score and Redick has 0 points.

Gobert is actually ranked higher in my list and more important to the Jazz than Hayward, but Hayward is still a top 50 player

 

[white dynamite]

Garbage call on Favors.

 

[Shabadoo69]

How can anyone watch Chris Paul?? He's good but damn he's dirty and flops more than anyone and bitches about every call.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

So clipps just get the whistle on every jump shot? Fucking LOL

And the Grizz. Some teams unless they get amazingly luck and draft the next LBJ are just not going to win championships.

Also I don't know why this Clips team is trying so hard to get embarassed by golden state.

 

[neptunes]

So are the Jazz stuck in basketball hell. A good team with a bunch of good to great players but not enough superstars to win against elite teams.

You need a base to start from, this is a good base.

well we never have to past April so it's tolerable

Top 30 is easy, actually top 25 for sure, I'll come back to this, but I would probably say top 15 or top 20 off the top of my head

 

[phanphare]

brutal

Hayward is entering his prime at age 27. Gobert is only 24 (another standout from the rapidly improving 2013 draft). Favors is 25. Hood is 24.

Last year, before they went out and got Hill, Johnson, and Diaw, they were the youngest team in the NBA, with an average age of 24.1.

They're also one of the deepest teams in the league, and have one of the better coaches in the league (my pick for COTY)

 

[Umbooki]

Top 30 or so sounds right. Top 20 at best. Based on what I've seen, he's a solid 2nd Option. He's not like a James Harden or Westbrook where we can find roleplayers that cater to his strengths and instantly become a playoff team.

He's a really solid All-Around Player.

 

[Mrbob]

Guess it could be worse for sure. Could be delusional like the bulls who think they have a good base but don't.

This Jazz team is fun to watch. Much more fun than the clippers so now I'm on team jazz for round two.

 

[ViciousDS]

we talking front office or the fans?


Because I sure as fuck know our entire base outside of basically jimmy butler sucks ass.


God I miss the bench mob














EDIT: REDDICKS ON THE BOARD!

 

[Mrbob]

Garpax for certain. They need to get booted.

 

[friskykillface]

10 point game
Pierce ready to beat the lakers in game 7

 

[metalslimer]

Well that should do it. Does Ballmer fire Doc?

 

[ViciousDS]

Garpax for certain. They need to get booted.

the entire fan base is behind you......hell, I wasn't even expecting fucking playoffs this year. Hoiberg is definitely not the issue and I have actually enjoyed him as a coach. But the front office gave him absolutely shit to use

 

[Mory Dunz]

Well that should do it. Does Ballmer fire Doc?

you can't fire me, I quit

 

[Chase17]

Well that should do it. Does Ballmer fire Doc?

Gotta bring the whole core back. 7th times the charm!

 

[sf2fanatic]

Reddick is gone

 

[white dynamite]

At least Pierce isn't ending his career in Utah.

 

[friskykillface]

Pierce ending his career in the same building he lost the title

They went back to LA


I feel like that wizards team that had Pierce would have beat the Cavs their first year LeBron came back

Instead, Nene couldn't rebound and that was it

 

[darkwing-buck]

Lol just turned on the game, what's with CP3, did he get shutdown? Why isn't he taking over?

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Fuck Paul Pierce.

 

[Shabadoo69]

At least Pierce isn't ending his career in Utah.

Yeah he's ending it in the building the lakers play in. LA is a lakers city clippers are an afterthought

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

This announcer acting like the game's not over, come on.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Watching Pierce lose..

 

[Cooter]

Well that should do it. Does Ballmer fire Doc?

Should have traded Blake when they had a chance. Moving forward there are no good options. Blow it up I guess. Paul will be completely out of his prime by the time the Warriors run comes to an end so no need to keep him around.

To be fair though, that was a godlike Game 7 with an epic postgame interview of Artest talking about his psychologist, lmao

 

[ViciousDS]

2nd lowest FT% of ALL TIME LOLOLOLOL

I think I see this Jazz trying to make their championship hopes built around a 2004 Pistons or 2014 Spurs type team.

This is the first time I've seen CP3 be the one to play terribly while the other Clippers show up. Typically the other way

 

[unknownstranger]

Why is DeAndre still in...

 

[phanphare]

peace to the clips, let em vacate

missing the second round, their DNA

 

[darkwing-buck]

BLOW IT UP!

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

And the Jazz will end the Clippers franchise by hack-a-Shaqing

 

[yuraya]

Melo will help the Clippers next year.

And Griffin will help the Knicks.

 

[notoriousKTR]

Why is DeAndre still in...

Leading scorer.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Fuck
Paul
Pierce

 

[Hyperactivity]

Melo will help the Clippers next year.

And Griffin will help the Knicks.

Griffin to OKC somehow.

Paul George for the Clippers? It's LA, and he can shoot.

 

[metalslimer]

Well that pretty much ends the era of basketball stars I grew up watching. There's no way Carter or Terry come back right?

 

[ryutaro's mama]

G TYME into the second round.

So long, Clips.

Spoiler

BLOW IT UP, STEVE

 

[RoKKeR]

Only caught the fourth quarter. Hell yes Jazz!!

The only thing better than the Jazz making it to the playoffs and winning a series is the Clippers losing.

 

[Line_HTX]

Steve Ballmer, please FOLD THE FRANCHISE.
