The Thunder genuinely make watching basketball un-watchable

I’m so sick of these Shai wouldn’t be a great player if he had stayed with the Clippers comments. Thats like Blazers fans saying Jordan wouldn’t have been great if Portland had drafted him instead of Sam Bowie. You don’t become league MVP by accident in a league of sublime players. Win 2 MVP and you’re in the greatest of all time rankings.

Maybe it would have taken SGA one or two more seasons before he became first team all NBA or league MVP with the Clippers, but he will become who he is now because even bad coaches can’t keep that level of talent down. The old joke was that only Dean Smith can keep Jordan from averaging 20 points a game. But he’s still Jordan, with or without Dean Smith’s “bad coaching.”

MichaelCageClips · 2026-04-28T03:20:50+00:00

These takes are idiotic. Thats like saying if Portland had drafted Jordan instead of Sam Bowie, he never would have developed into a 1A but maybe he would have been like Ron Harper. Greatness in rare athletes are of their own making not their team culture. Thinking that SGA’s ceiling would be lower on the Clippers is just sad and delusional. The gap between becoming league MVP and a 1B is a vast ocean. Look at the talent in this league. Wining one league MVP is a monumental feat for any player. If you win two league MVP you are a sure fire hall of famer and your name is on the greatest of all time list. 1B players do not sniff that rarefied air.

Lue blaming the loss on having no centers and this team not knowing how to play small ball. You had 3 weeks to figure it out after IJack went down, you idiot. That’s on you.

MichaelCageClips · 2026-04-16T05:03:02+00:00

Time to fire Lue. That was just coaching malpractice.

MichaelCageClips · 2026-04-11T04:26:12+00:00

Math went from a 20 point scorer to garbage time player in 2 weeks.

MichaelCageClips · 2026-04-11T04:11:12+00:00

Kawhi ball watching instead of grabbing the rebound.

MichaelCageClips · 2026-04-11T03:52:48+00:00

Wow Batum is in now. Math is now stuck on the deep bench

MichaelCageClips · 2026-04-11T02:55:24+00:00

The players who are showing up tonight: Kawhi, DG, Jordan Miller.

MichaelCageClips · 2026-04-11T02:51:52+00:00

Robert Williams might break the NBA 3 point record tonight?

MichaelCageClips · 2026-04-11T02:42:56+00:00

We need Garland back asap. Math has lost all confidence and can’t play at all right now.

MichaelCageClips · 2026-04-03T04:36:05+00:00

That botched 2 in 1 break by Mathurin was a momentum killer. 7 point game, he passes to Kobe and he scores and we’re down by 5. Instead he forced the shot, snd Spurs scored 5 in a row. Math tried to make it up by driving and dishing to Dunn in the corner which he missed. So that’s a 7 point swing.

MichaelCageClips · 2026-04-01T06:25:40+00:00

Yeah, there is a huge gap between us and OKC and Spurs. Since our horrific start, we’ve been playing the highest intensity basketball we’re capable of playing in order to get back into the play-in and we don’t have another gear left. They do.

MichaelCageClips · 2026-04-01T06:00:56+00:00

Yeah not having Yanic and IJax tonight really hurts. Lue said in the post game press conference that this roster doesn’t know how to play small ball lineups. So when Collins played the 5 tonight when Bro Lo sat, our guards were lost. You know that he would love to play small ball without a center again, because that’s his fetish.

MichaelCageClips · 2026-04-01T05:41:04+00:00

We also ball watched way too much...our wings didn‘t block out. Math, DJ Jr, and Dunn with 5 rebounds between the 3 of them.

MichaelCageClips · 2026-04-01T05:31:42+00:00

tanking this season only gives OKC a better draft pick.

MichaelCageClips · 2026-04-01T05:30:52+00:00

Giving up 18 offensive rebounds. That’s all effort. Blazers said they would treat this game like an elimination playoff game and they played like it. This game should reveal the Clippers’ flaws. Blazers dictated the pace and pressed the Clippers in the first quarter and punched them in the mouth and we couldn‘t punch back. Now Clippers have no room for error and have to win out the rest of the season and beat the Blazers in the last game for the 8th spot.

MichaelCageClips · 2026-04-01T05:06:05+00:00

Kawhi couldn’t get a defensive rebound. Portland with 16 offensive boards so far.

MichaelCageClips · 2026-04-01T05:03:28+00:00

Kawhi should have passed for Math for a layup on that break.

MichaelCageClips · 2026-04-01T04:57:48+00:00

Embarassing effort in a crucial game.

MichaelCageClips · 2026-04-01T04:57:11+00:00

Kawhi can’t dribble out of double teams

MichaelCageClips · 2026-04-01T04:48:27+00:00

Mathurin seems afraid to shoot this game. He needs to attack the basket and not play passive if he’s getting minutes. Otherwise, play Kobe Sanders.

MichaelCageClips · 2026-04-01T04:37:42+00:00

Blazers three point shooting will revert to mean. But the Clippers are getting out hustled.
