    Yep I'm down for the Bucks to win it all again. Giannis is so easy to root for and he's truly a great player that stuck it out in Milwaukee before finally winning it.

    I want him to get a few titles and then maybe he'll get tired of winning in Milwaukee and he'll wanna "LeBron" it and come to LA. After all, Kobe is one of his idols and Kobe woudl have wanted Giannis to come here right?

    Man, how I enjoy watching Russ throw passes out of bounds, now that he’s in a Clipper jersey.

    I am now a Russell Westbrook fan. Seeing him play for the Clippers brings me great joy. They need to lock him up to an extension.

    Tuned in to the game early in the third quarter, Clips had a decent size lead. Right when I tune in, Russ gets back-to-back turnovers. Suddenly a few minutes later, Golden State is starting to blow them out.

    ditto, teams are defending russ the same way as they usually do, extreme sagging of and packing the paint. his asst come way mostly transmission or when he attacks the paint. Pg/Kawahi arent catch and shoot guys, brick presence is probably making their offense worse. Oh those ugly obvious TO passes and we got folks saying Brick wasnt a problem on court smfh

    Oh I'm loving Russ on the Clippers because it's going exactly the way literally everyone said it would...Clippers writers included!

    This is still the most un-Clipper move that they've made since having Ballmer as an owner. I'm shocked beyond belief that they'd listen to PG13 on this right as they found their rhythm with the trade deadline pieces!

    It's just pure insanity to me man...I feel for true CLippers fans (yes I know plenty of them unfortunately lol)....they were SUPER pissed when this move happened and they're complaining every day since then. Can't blame them...

    This won't be good for Balmer's health that's for sure, watching Russ be Russ on his team. I don't know if anyone else noticed it when we played them last game, a camera happened to catch a real brief cutaway close up shot of him at courtside or wherever second row, taking a sip out of a cup and his right hand holding it had some definite shaking going on. They did not stay on him long. Like 3 seconds.

    i'm not going to pile on russ and the clips just yet, but i still don't understand why they brought him in when they have mann and had just acquired hyland from denver. makes no sense at all. and all because PG wanted him? the same guy you traded probably the best young star in the game for? lmao

    if the clips don't win a title with kawhi/PG, that SGA/picks for PG trade could very well end up being one of the worst trades in NBA history

    word on all the above. clips still have a ton of talent and can weather russ much more easily than we could (i.e., cut or bench him). but man, how they could watch, up close, what was happening with us and try to claim it was our organizational incompetence...sheeeit.

    you're supposed to emulate your big bro in the right ways and NOT the wrong ones. in this case they fell into the exact same trap they saw sprung. serious egg on many faces.

    I just want to beat the Clippers on April 5th. They seem to miraculously recover from any and all ailments once they play us. We are 7-31 against these clowns over the last 10 seasons. We've lost 10 straight games to them. I'm sick of it, hopefully Russ will be our Trojan horse or something, whatever it takes. f*** Kawhi and the Clippers, I wish them nothing but the worse.

    i get the sentiment, but i actually don't care. if they beat us 40 straight times and we still have more rings during the same period, it makes it funnier to me.

    congrats on winning your personal championship; we're about the actual thing.

    Wouldn't be 100% against a 3rd PG until Bron gets back, especially while DLO keeps missing games. Only stipulation is I want a blood oath from Ham that he will not under any circumstance play all three pgs at the same time.
