Shaitan Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) However, LAC got a guy who was the main man and franchise player of the current champions and added an MVP candidate last year. Moreover, they have a coach who is a championship coach. The supporting cast and bench are not exactly scrubs. Patrick Beverley was an All-Defensive First Team in 2017 while the high-energy Harrel who averaged 16.6 ppg and 6.5 rpg. Need I mention Lou Williams? Cooper forgot to mention that the Lakers haven't qualified for the playoffs the past six years while the Clippers qualified for the playoffs in seven of the last eight years. I know Michael Cooper is passionate about his team but he has to get real. Yes, lou williams and beverley are great supporting cast. Parang meron din palag ang new acquired Green/Bradley ng Lakers. Last year champ sidekick ni Kawhi at sidekick ni IT sa great run ng boston (forgot what year). Edited July 19, 2019 by Shaitan Quote Link to comment
will robie Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Yes, lou williams and beverley are great supporting cast. Parang meron din palag ang new acquired Green/Bradley ng Lakers. Last year champ sidekick ni Kawhi at sidekick ni IT sa great run ng boston (forgot what year). The Lakers made good acquisitions in Bradley and Green. Both are 3 and D players who can spread the floor and lock down on defense. It is up to Vogel how he will use both. Brad Stevens maximized Bradley's talent by making Bradley a cutter and a spot up three-point shooter. Quote Link to comment

red60 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 The Clips should get their own home court to establish their own identity. It's obvious the Lakers own Staples Center.Even though the Clips were the better team for the past 6-7 seasons, crowd support was still for the Lakers.Whenever the Clips play a "home game" against the Lakers, parang 60/40 yung crowd still in favor of the Lakers. Clippers are working on a deal to start a new stadium in Inglewood. There's some legal hindrance most likely matatagalan pa. Quote Link to comment
red60 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) Haha tawagan mo nalang ako red. First line nakita ko totoo or di moLam sagot hehe may google kung gusto ko sagutin mga post mo. Sorry bro di ko talaga binasa. Nagsabi lang ako totoo. Why do I need to call you? you do your own research so you can properly articulate. Google will not help you answer my posts because my comments earlier are already based from facts but it will surely save you from making bonehead comments.

red60 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) Yet despite all that, the Clippers are still just the other team in LA. They can keep their selfies, they are not nearly enough to cover 16 championship banners. They actually literally covered the 16 championship banners. It was a big controversy back in 2013. People say it was disrespectful when Doc Rivers wanted the banners covered but I think Magic Johnson was ok with it. He understood that the Clippers needed an identity.

red60 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Kawhi got heckled during the Pacquiao - Thurman fight. I can't blame the Lakers fans. There were rumors circulating that Kawhi told the Lakers to wait after he had already signed with the Clippers. Raptors also feeling salty when Kawhi asked for the moon and stars. It will be an interesting year in Staples Center Quote Link to comment

It may take another decade or two before they become contenders again. I don’t think Kawhi wanted to play with a diva like James. Quote Link to comment
vienvenido Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Nakuha na kapatid ni Giannis.... mukang pang dagdag lang sa lineup..hehe Quote Link to comment

It may take another decade or two before they become contenders again. I don’t think Kawhi wanted to play with a diva like James. Raptors and their fan base are more than thankful for Kawhi's service. Issue here is how Kawhi and his agent handled his free agency. If the rumors are true that Kawhi already signed the contract and still told the Lakers to stall the impending trades and FA signing then we can say he tried to sabotage the Lakers. "I don’t think Kawhi wanted to play with a diva like James."A diva won't play with another diva. Quote Link to comment
red60 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Nakuha na kapatid ni Giannis.... mukang pang dagdag lang sa lineup..hehe He's not yet ready. I saw him play in G league in Dallas. He's a project. I think the reason why they got him is potentially signing Giannis in 2021. Quote Link to comment
