How The Lob City LA Clippers Failed To Win a Championship 

Well you cant do that they just went to a wcf

Probably just add Lob City there

@@memetheslumpgod1779 Fine. "How the LOB City era LA Clippers failed to make the Western Conference Finals"

@@memetheslumpgod1779but it wasn’t in the lob city era though

@@memetheslumpgod1779 dumbass bitch can't even see the title "LOB City LA Clippers" in his comment

Yep but I think we all can agree the clippers definitely got away with a series win vs gsw solely because the refs didn’t care cp3 fouled Steph on a 3

Warriors vs Clippers still one of my favorite series

What's Sad Is That Giannis Antetokounmpo Has An Ring Before The Clippers LOL The Greek Freak Has A Ring

@@futuregohan4837 Bucks already had a ring from the 70s and then got one in 2020. It took multiple defeats and being reduced to tears by Kawhi for Giannis to finally win with the Bucks.

@@NotaPizzaGRL reduced to tears by Kawhi lmao, Raptors coach just owns bud bcs he aint very good coach

lightscore96 I never knew Draymond played for the clippers so how could he know what was going on in the locker room

@@darnellwilliams8783 he could probably see their bench though, and it was probably obvious if everyone was playing hero ball the moment the Warriors went on a run

@@darnellwilliams8783 Id say Draymond knows what he’s talking about, seeing he’s a basketball savant and a 3x champ, while the clippers never made it past the second round

@@darnellwilliams8783 yeah but he probably knows what he’s talking about. Man is a vet with very high bball IQ

doc rivers plays a huge part in that

He is the main reason. He’s so passionate about losing, he overpaid hos mediocre son

@@fishingtacklechannel I concur. I really think Doc should coach sub par teams like back in his Magic or the 2018 Clippers. That's when he shines the most.

Overrated coach who cares more about virtue signaling.

And he definitely killed the core of Lob City once he became GM by trading for old, washed players. Because Glenn Rivers doesn't want to deal with developing young players, he just relies on the old school guys and hope for them to be mature enough to do everything for him.

@@mduis9532 no because he’s a black head coach and can’t have the brothas get fired or have to take blame

They would also matchup fairly good against the Warriors that year who if i recall correctly struggled against teams with strong interior presence and overall tough defense

Glad you’re a loyal clippers fan. I started turning against the franchise as soon as Blake left, it really broke my heart that day when they traded the most loyal/best player at that time to the Pistons.

Clippers crowned themselves after that series and forgot to play hard and underestimated the Rockets.

@Versatile Wolf NWO there isn’t any excuse in the entire post. It’s a fact that the Clippers and/or the Spurs would have been the toughest challenge the Warriors had to face that year. I didn’t excuse the Clippers collapse against the Rockets. They blew it… just like the Warriors blew a 73 win season.

@@ulyssesperry886 it broke my heart that they traded Blake away too. He was the reason I started watching the Clippers, but considering his career trajectory after the trade and where we ended up… it was the right move at the right time.

Yup. Kobe + CP3 is guaranteed destruction for everyone else.

I remember that. I was at work with a Laker fan girl and he flipped out like all lame laker fans do lol

Yeah, what the heck is "basketball reasons"? I was wondering that.

The pels had no obligation to trade him

Because shinn was accepting lopsided trade just to save money 😅😅

2015 warriors were beatable?? The same team that went 73-9 the exact next season??? Lol funny joke

@@kuhieyei3855 2015 the warriors were beatable wtf does the year after have to do with them being beatable in 2015

@@kuhieyei3855 he’s referring to 2014/15 but even in 2015/16 the second round gsw was injured

What i mean is that 2015 warriors team were the peak warriors or prime warriors without kd. The 2016 warrios in the finals are basically depleted because of injuries and fatigue of the 73-9 run. The 2016 warriors are more beatable than the 2015 one.

@@jonathannovembre4562 Not to mention that 2016 GSW were still beatable. They barely made to the finals

Damn thats sad lol

@@nathanharris3787 trust me. Clippers fans are numb to the pain that is being a clipper fan at this point lmao

If it weren't for 2021, the Bucks RN would be in that same realm. 2019, lose the ECF to Toronto, 2020 lose to Miami in the 2nd round, 2022 lose to Boston in the 2nd round. Thank God Durant likes to wear shoes that are too big.

Big true. Specially in playoff series against grizzlies, you know it would be long physically exhausting 7 games.

I seen kd around that time a clippers fan asked if he’s going to the clippers he said nah mane they wack

@@imbmg5054 wow that’s interesting. I read somewhere that KD was “blown away” by the Clippers pitch to him. Maybe he was just saying that 🤷‍♂️

Busted his knees and a second round exit

Unlike the us Lakers we were unstoppable never been trash till now because of west brick

Cp3 isn't a heart of a champion, steph failed cp3 twice 2018 and 2019 season

CP3 choked that one too 😂 only a clippers fan would polish a turd and call it a participation trophy

@@ThaGhettoBlaster gh 15:25

They are cursed. They could have Jordan, magic, shaq, Duncan and lebron in their primes with the greatest bench and still lose in the second round

I love CP3, Lob City era, Kawhi, PG but honestly curse is deserved for being a Wallmart Lakers and secondary team in millionaires and snobs city for no reason when Seattle or some other basketball loving city could use a team.@@cruzloera4931

FR

when you commented the video has been out for a min how you know if its good or not

they also split the season series with them too that year, they had it.

I wish the Warriors had faced them in the Conference Finals but I think they wouldve beaten the Clippers. Remember, the previous year, the series went to 7 games. That year Steph became the MVP and Klay became an all-star. And had homecourt advantage.

I fully agree. If we had T lue back then, we’d have been champs

@@rockscracked6161 I don’t think so. Rivers isn’t great, but Tyron Lue alone can’t fix Blake griffin’s legs or choking. Not to mention they were in the same league as the all time great spurs, heat, warriors, and thunder

@@lik7953 a good coach can fix choking at a certain level (if he can prevent a meltdown the sixers would beat the Rockets in 2015) Granted im not sure if they could beat the Warriors that year

Idk, Doc is a weird. I can't really call him bad because after joining Clippers he instantly made the team significantly more efficient at least in regular season. Vinny Del Negro Clippers were good but never was leaders in any category while Doc's Clippers had top 1-3 offense (even first the first year before GSW evolved into their final form) and also improved their defense to also to top 5 (top 2 for a brief period of time). Sure, such players like JJ Reddick and Matt Barnes addition played a role in that too and would have make a team better even under Vinny Del Negro but the results and stats speak for themselves. Regular season is regular season but it's still a pretty big achievement to perform at such level for 82 games so it's not useless. That being said, during playoffs Doc absolutely sucks and is a complete non factor or even a detriment to a team at times because of his stubbornness and unwillingness to adjust and lack of imagination/vision for the game. Team's choking is purely on Doc and not on CP3. Contrary to a popular belief CP3 performed in every single series outside of the one with OKC. But even in that series he was carrying hard (legit was the best KD defender on the team on top of doing the usual CP3 things on offense) until that bad stint in game 5 and 6 which kinda costed the series. However, later seasons even things during regular season went downhill because of his "oligarchy" in the team with Austin Rivers situation, and signings of old friends/players, it's pretty well documented. His playoffs "genius" also really shows with him not knowing what to do with JJ Reddick despite desperately relying on him being by far the best team's spacer and shooter for years.

There were so many wars on the West

Doesn't help when half the lineup is on cortisone injections, broken orbital bones, bon spurs etc. Clippers 2013-14 were winning every series they played until CP or Blake got injured along with at least 3-4 role players. The rockets series was the worst of them all. They went up without CP and then Blake tore a MCL, Jamal strained a hamstring that nagged him all season, JJ Redick and Glen Davis had bones spurs in their ankles, Matt Barnes had a torn labrum, Austin Rivers dropped out to the broken Orbital and came back momentarily to lead a comeback. This was one of many cases proving they were not front runners. And the Grizzlies comeback was historic, Spurs (the defending champions) comeback etc. The clippers are the only team to beat two champions in back to back playoffs. They had it all until the injuries and eventually the CP ego got involved in each losing effort.

Clippers fan here since 2006, I've been through a lot of heartbreak with this team and I constantly get clowned for it every season...but something about our current FO with the great Jerry West, has really turned our franchise around. We made the WCF without Kawhi, a feat we have never done before as a franchise..amazing. I'm hopeful for our squad. Especially with Lue at the helm, he's found a gem in T-Mann and most recently we got Norman Powell and Covington for pretty much nothing but an aging bledsoe a rook and a pick in the draft. I like our chances..I'm so used to heartbreak with this team but I feel this may be the turn around. Just needa get PG & Kawhi healthy for next season, this one is to develop and reload. Lob City was great for the franchise, but we used it as a leaping board to what we are now. A respected franchise with players actually wanting to come and play for us, rather than at times the Lakers, that is a great victory to say the least. Also, a new arena in 2025 for us by Mr. Ballmer himself who also now owns the forum haha only way is up my dude! (sorry for the long comment)

I’m from the future and it does not in fact get better for the clippers

Agreed

same i loved lob city clippers. the choking hurts so bad tilll now

Makes sense because that makes you a fake clipper fan, any clipper fan that starts supporting the clippers since Lob city are not considered real fans!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Please stop

@@ClippersRunLA whats your opinion?

@@righteo9117 I'm no griffin fan but he actually had a decent jumpshot. He even extended his range to the 3pt line.

@@jhdivina I mean I guess he improved his jumpshot somewhat but it wasnt reliable to be a threat to help their playoff runs. By the time he made it reliable and extended his range to the 3pt line the lob city era was pretty much over so its a a shame the clippers couldnt attract a third option to put them over the line.

@@righteo9117 now this part is correct but honestly I think we would have been better off with Kyrie maybe the clippers were too thirsty for cp but maybe Cp3 would have been better off a laker I mean he was better a hornet than a clipper if we’re being honest and I also think Chris stunted Blake’s growth in some ways I think Blake griffin had the complete package and he was willing to improve and expand his game as you can see in his later years. He is actually my favorite player and I believe he is the best clipper of all time. I think the clippers should have stuck it out and gotten Kyrie I’m not sure if Chris was the best to put along side Blake bc initially it was Blake’s Team

I'm still a Clipper fan till this day though

Great idea

Austin was a good side piece. The real factors is when everyone disappeared in the playoffs. Or got injured

@@subscribo2059 austin a good side piece? I will give credit to his defense ut his offense was severely lacking, in his 3 seasons with the clippers in the playoffs he shot 32% from 3, only 66% from ft and a true shooting of just 49%, that is not something that i will call "good side piece"

Our main problem was not being able to sign a good SF. The best we had during whole that era was Matt Barnes. I love that dude but if he's the best we ever had, that's a problem. The sad part is we managed to get both Harris and Gallinari right after trading Blake.

@@luchogonzealaise3717 I highly agree! I wanted to mention their small forward not being able to contribute but he was kinda their defender. And hell yeah man, Matt Barnes was the only small forward we saw from that Lob City Clippers actually contributing. Especially that last few seconds Game 7 defense against the Defending Champ Spurs ( Spurs actually got cheated with the timer). When it was announced that Kevin Durant might join the Lob City Clippers, I really got excited that finally the lineup is about to be complete. But then yeah... =( It feels so good talking with a Lob City Clippers fan

I'm a foreigner that grew up watching this Clippers team. Remember constantly showing up to the school late despite them being clearly outmatched by Spurs (talking about a different Clippers vs Spurs series earlier) cause I insisted to finish the games that would start very early in the morning for me and would sometimes drag way past my first lesson (series were quite ugly from the Clippers side though because Clippers relying way too much on Griffing and CP3 isos in the playoffs). Also, remember spending a weekend over my friends at being the only one mesmerized by that Clippers vs defending champions Spurs game 7 thriller and pissing my friends that way because I made them to watch it with me when everyone else were only interested in Floyd vs Pacquiao match that happened the same day. Good times lmao @@ilovejeffhardy3906

Man said Deron Williams! U a basketball fan 4real. Deron & Boozer were nice n Utah.CP3 & West n NO

Chris Paul isnt under 6 ft

People comparing CP3 and Deron William back in late 00s makes a perfect sense and it's not a pure black or white. For a short period of time it was a more modern version of Jason Kidd vs Steve Nash and there were arguments to be made in DWill favour cause in fact he has seen more immediate very impressive success with a team and was ahead in their head to heads. You could ask what CP3 thinks about this and he would say that DWill was amazing and probably his tougher competition at the time. It's just CP3 has had a much better career and longevity but peak Deron Williams was indeed a beast and respected by the likes of CP3, LeBron and Kobe as well as an important part of those historical 2008 and 2012 USA olympic teams. In 2008 they both shared the same time behind Jason Kidd and in 2012 even though CP3 started, they both still shared the same play time and had almost exact contribution. Like you can say that CP3 by a tiny amount was better but by it's not like you are entirely wrong if you would say that DWill was better. It was super super close. Btw, if anything CP3 is closer to 6'1 than being under 6 (which is still small and limiting for a player especially when you already rely fully on skill due to injury history (CP3 before knee injury in 2010 was both skilled and incredibly athletic)

That’s not even the problem. They never lost to golden state in the playoffs. They only lost to the spurs once and that was at the very beginning of the lob city era. They were never good enough to even face the spurs/warriors

Right in the middle of 2 dynaties

@@c.i.a8359 Actually they lost to the spurs twice counting 2012.

@@lik7953 that was only one playoff series. After the the 2015 season the lob city could not bet the gsw .

They didn't want the lakers to win again

According to Stern at that time, the Lakers would be "too good" if they got CP3, even though the Lakers were about to give up Gasol and Odom for him and LeBron formed the Big 3 in Miami a year prior. He pretty much admitted that he didn't want the Lakers to keep winning

The Lakers would have 1 more ring Kobe bryant would of filled the ghost of Jordan etc. But the NBA helped them with Portland and kings so with that trade David and Clivand GM complain like baby is why it did not happen then the organization did not draft the correct players or But the right staff for Koby they wasn't the last year I still think he should have retired in 2013 not taken the extentions at all.

And you lost right lol
