The clippers were literally waiting for the outcome of the Lakers v n8ggets series to make a decision.

@James R He be still employed if he didn't have a terrible playoff record in LA. He got outcoached by Malone kept thinking talent was gonna win out, gotta make adjustments.
Definitely...along with the players, in addition to management for their professionalism and having a team culture that allowed Kawhi to rehab and excel during the season. As Kawhi and Kyle. Other agreed after the Championship game...’the journey.”
So are we giving every coach the credit they deserve when a championship is won? Or are we just picking and choosing ? I think we all saw what happened to toronto...go ahead I’ll wait
Malone badly outcouched Doc Malone, clipboard running around, constantly made coverage changes halfway thru series and halfway thru games and Doc did nothing - Doc choked
Doc got out coached yeah but coaching can’t make shots fall in. We went freezing cold in almost every second half in games 5 6 and 7. Yeah he should’ve made adjustments but it seems like the players are full of themselves. There’s reports that they’re just disrespecting pg knowing none of them are better than him besides kawhi nor did anyone on the team play well besides kawhi. they need an attitude adjustment or something. It’s docs fault tho for letting it get to this point
And ppl saying Doc didn't deserve to be fired? Any other time the coach needs to can't lose wit this talent,but because of his political views it's not fair.
I think the Clippers team talent was exaggerated and they're components were mismatched from the start. They also had no on court leadership. The media bought and sold the hype without examination.

Doc lost his job because his players flat out didn't want to be there and their poor performances shown that. That's on the Clippers roster, not on Doc as a head coach.

As flawed as Skips logic is, this one has some merit. The east after MJ and before Giannis in 2019 was a cakewalk, where it was one team that you knew was going to make it to the Finals, and possibly one challenger. Only by 2019 did you start to have at least a bit of competition before the conference finals. Look at the east right now: six teams fighting for the top spots. Thats what the East developed into. And yeah, while I acknowledge any ring as a win, because at the end of the day, thats what matters, I'd be lying if I said it wasnt easy. Lets see, the first round, he plays a team with a 35-39 losing record. The second round he plays a team led by two guys who have never performed that well in the Playoffs and were taken to 7 games by CP3 and the Thunder who werent even expected to make the Playoffs. The Conference Finals, he plays the Denver Nuggets, who pulled off a tremendous upset, freeing the Lakers of playing the one team that was on their level. And in the Finals they were taken to 6 games by an injured Miami Heat team without Adebayo or Dragic. Look, I respect the championship he won, but dont act like it wasnt easy.
@@jbestderulo45 for sure. OKC gave mentally weak wayoff P who shot the side of the backboard in the playoffs. They gained Chris Paul who preserved that hard fighting OKC culture and had a good run against Houston.

Doc rivers is overrated and this is coming from a celtics fan, im glad he won us a chip in 08 but the dude has been the clippers coach for ages and hasnt been past the 2nd round, he deserved to be fired
It's not all entirely Doc's fault tho, he had to deal with injury prone stars and play in the same conference as the Warriors, it's not even entirely his fault for this years collapse, when you have a star like Kawhi and the man goose eggs? What you supposed to do
Doc hasn't been out the 2nd round in 7 years with clippers he has blown multiple 3-1 leads he was gone regardless in my mind kawhi just so happen to be in crossfire and got ask what he thinks

@@yakushi6923 like utah, blazers, nuggets, houston . aside from the lakers and clippers no one gave any of those teams a chance and for good reason. now if the warriors were healthy its a different convo
@sublime90 so Utah took the nuggets to a game 7, the same nuggets that bounced the clippers? How are they bums? What about the mavs, the mavs alone are better than most of the teams in the east. Then the lakers and clippers, what are you smoking?
@@climax050 so at the start of the season you really thought jazz or nuggets was gonna be in the finals??? seriously? mavs had a chance until kp got "hurt" then that window got slammed shut. the lakers are head and shoulders above every other team in the west (minus a healthy warriors) who was the lakers real "threat"?
They gave excuse for lebron when he choked his first year with the heat when we joined the heat, and cried they had no chemistry. Yet they had a full year. But when Kawhi has less than a full season forced to stop half way through. And want to jump all over that. Where is the same energy there
@@jonathanlaque4248 you make no sense, No one gave any excuses for Lebron ever!! You wanna give kawhi an excuse dude already has 2 rings, and being called a top5 player right now!! That loss was Unacceptable mann!
You really think Kawhi would ask for Doc to be fired??? So it's kawhi's fault Doc has been there for 7 years, blown 2 3-1 leads, had multiple all stars on the team most of those years, and couldn't get his team past the 2nd rnd????? And this is the guy who has pretty much been the consensus "best coach in the league" the past 10 years. Why tf should kawhi try to keep him on to run it back when he couldnt even game plan for the Nuggest.
I wonder if Doc still feels that Kawhi is the closing thing he’s seen to Jordan now?🤔 In the future when he’s asked who’s the best in the game he’ll just go with Bron or KD, won’t be the Klaw! 🤣🤣🤣
And always will.. They will live in the basement of their own stadium LAKERS WILL ALWAYS RUN LOS ANGELES the Forum was ran by Lakers Clippers can't ever get out of the basement
Oh please Doc had plenty of chances Time to move on Not defending the players but he should have coached them to not be spoiled They should also trade pg13
@@mynoseisdirty1250 the main reason is not practicing. The reason those 90s bulls won was because they worked on their game. Ever team has a switch but not every team has built the machine for that switch to be attached to.
Yea he seems to always speak facts when it's everybody else,LeBron it's all bias. Skip asked him about LeBron wanting Spo out came up with a lame excuse same thing about Blatt. Shannon the biggest hypocrite
What are you talking about? The best team he ever had was the 08 Celtics and they were already past their prime. Lob City was never at their full potential because Blake couldn’t even stay healthy and did you forget how bad the Clippers were before Doc got there? PG and Kawhi sold the bag because they were not mentally and physically ready for the playoffs and Doc was used as the scapegoat
It’s going to be difficult if Kawhi has a agreement from the owner that he agreed Kawhi could “load manage”. How can you discipline the rest of the team when 1 player gets to sit out practices & games?
This team is so done already. They have no room to add anyone notable, no picks to trade, PG value is as low as possible. Trez prob gone (is that a bad thing tho...lol), Doc gone. Still no playmakers or rim protection. League will be tougher next year with Warriors, Nets, ascending young teams...window closed!
Crazy thing is the lakers can still add a piece like oladipo via trade or the following year they will only have Lebron(if he doesn’t opt out) and AD on the cap
The blame is divided by four things - - Lack of chemistry / games together - Lack of motivation (wanted out) - Lack of a rim protector - Doc's questionable rotations and plays
coaches in the nba don't do much. they give cookie cutter speeches during timeouts and half time and that is about it except drawing up a play or two. most of the time it's just players playing ball and if it doesn't work it doesn't work. coaches are useful as scapegoats that is about it
I think Kawhi was talking about his teammates when referring to "basketball IQ", not necessarily Doc. I think Kawhi should be more vocal with the team and be a better leader but this does not solely sit on him. I believe Ballmer wanted to get rid of Doc and he had to make him the scapegoat.
@@smoove2432 it really wasn’t, everyone knew Paul George underperformed in the playoffs like with okc and now the clippers... they traded 4 picks and some players for him and he sucked!!! Their chemistry is now gone and both kawhai and paul George can leave next year and the clippers won’t give and 1st round picks until 2026 so it wasn’t with it at all
There is a 0.01% chance that Balmer did this with Kawhi fully endorsing Doc Rivers. With one year left and him being their only hope in the future, it would be stupid and insane to get rid of a coach he really liked.
Who got the most praise is what Shannon is talkin about Because if it wasn’t Kawhi people wouldn’t have said that he would again win another chip wit another team!💯 that’s facts 🤷🏽♂️
If nick nurse truly got the credit he deserved for that ring than he wouldn’t have won coach of the year because people would have expected the raptors to be where they were.
Idk about that, Kawhi isn’t as present and probably says nothing at meetings etc. KD will talk about his former teammates on a new account lol. However I like KD.
E 20 he didn’t quit on the Spurs, he forced his way out because he didn’t trust team doctors and Gregg popovich getting tony Parker to say what he said was the straw that broke the camels back. As far as Toronto,he didn’t owe them anything.
I never thought adding Leonard and George to the same team was very smart. They are too similar as players. It is hard to win when your two best players are clones. You need to have some diversity on the roster, so each player plays their own role. They are good-to-great players on their own, but somewhat cancel each other out and minimize each other's effectiveness when both are on the court at the same time.
Shady Shannon Sharpe watch your back he like white meat and that’s why he lets skip Bayless shady say and do what he wants. TV devil money sell out for the moment Shannon Sharpe
Doc was the captain. The captain goes down with the ship. Doc’s coaching failed in 2015 against Houston. He made the mistake with the Clippers once before... but twice, that’s not a coincidence. As a Clippers fan, I’m glad to see Doc go.
So glad Shannon brought of Nick Nurse. Kawhi had the audacity to criticize his teams “basketball IQ” of the coach HE CHOOSE. HE CHOOSE to abandon the structure and cohesion of the raptors organization. Kawhi let his team flounder in 4 loses to the Nuggets and he’s got the nerve to criticize anyone but himself. We keep accusing lebron of going to LA for the lifestyle, the money and Hollywood. So what did Kawhi go to the clippers for? It certainly wasn’t to win since he willingly let his team choke in the 2nd round if the playoffs. Seems to me like Kawhi is just there to make Uncle Dennis money.
Kawhi went to LA because it’s his home and also because want to win there. Of course he can’t do that if he doesn’t have competent teammates and an inconsistent second star. He chose this team and Steve Ballmer will fix it.
It's funny how Doc Rivers never recruited or asked Kawhi Leonard or Paul George to come to the Clippers and yet he got fired because of their shortcomings.
It’s not a coincidence that this happens after the Lakers beat the Nuggs. I think Balmer was waiting to see what was going to happen in that series before cutting off heads.
I remember just last season, everyone was giving Doc Rivers so much praise and hype for bringing the Clippers from out of a hole. Yeah, the Clippers sucked in the playoffs, and the coaching appeared to suck, but dang he's done a pretty good job most of time.
The dude was asked about LeBron wanting Spo out he didn't have this same energy. He said it's different cuz LeBron had more yrs on his contract. Still doesn't change the fact LeBron tried to get the coach fired
I love how Skip says Kawhi is better than LeBron but Holds lebron to a higher standard than MJ and simultaneously holds Kawhi "Baby Jordan" Leonard to the same standard as Zach Lavine
uh not really, if you pay attention to details this season, they have done worse with better roster. Whereas doc changed the culture in philly and made them one of the best team in the team even if they have been playing with so many injuries. Its pretty obvious now that doc got a better of the deal. Clippers, majority fault isnt on the coaching staff but the players.
@@miguelpozos5366 lol its the players that step up and make shots they are supposed to make....they werent make the wide open ones last year when they were under pressured when leading, the stats also showed it. They have great shots. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE WINNING NOW because of their talent so its not they are donig better or surprised.
Kawhi probably doesn’t say anything at all. He doesn’t look like someone who cares too much about anything and is too outspoken. He’s probably fed up with the attention and how the team performed.
Kahwi is 1-3 in game sevens I think 2020 west conference finals vs nuggets 2014 west 1st round vs clippers 2013 finals vs miami heat I may be wrong not sure
Probably, doesn’t do him much justice being that he wasn’t the main guy until a bit into his career and usually ended the round before 7. I don’t see him having too many game 7s if he has a performing team.

bunch of bums in the west this year lets be real.
sublime90 like who
@@yakushi6923 like utah, blazers, nuggets, houston . aside from the lakers and clippers no one gave any of those teams a chance and for good reason. now if the warriors were healthy its a different convo
@sublime90 so Utah took the nuggets to a game 7, the same nuggets that bounced the clippers? How are they bums? What about the mavs, the mavs alone are better than most of the teams in the east. Then the lakers and clippers, what are you smoking?
@@climax050 so at the start of the season you really thought jazz or nuggets was gonna be in the finals??? seriously? mavs had a chance until kp got "hurt" then that window got slammed shut. the lakers are head and shoulders above every other team in the west (minus a healthy warriors) who was the lakers real "threat"?
"He's a cyborg, he feels no pain" 😂😂
"twooooooo points in the second half"
People came at Lebron after Blatt and Luke Walton got fired, keep the same for Kawhi
Nope it’s the same at all
They gave excuse for lebron when he choked his first year with the heat when we joined the heat, and cried they had no chemistry. Yet they had a full year. But when Kawhi has less than a full season forced to stop half way through. And want to jump all over that. Where is the same energy there
Exactly
Jonathan Laque be its been 9 years and lebron still getting trash over that . Stop crying cuz the nba champion favs didn’t get out second round
@@jonathanlaque4248 you make no sense, No one gave any excuses for Lebron ever!! You wanna give kawhi an excuse dude already has 2 rings, and being called a top5 player right now!! That loss was Unacceptable mann!
Shannon: " Joakim Noah hasn't been good since his father, Yannick Noah won the French Open." 😆😝😆
JN was done unfortunately when he left Chicago. He had the heart and determination of a lion he body just couldn't hold up.
Triple double big man!
😂😂😂
Man was DPOY. Disrespectful.
Shannon has no idea what he is talking about. Noah was a top 5 mvp candidate one year. Still funny regardless though lol
I bet it was George Paul That told Kwaih Leonard to tell the owner to fired Doc River.
Definitely
You really think Kawhi would ask for Doc to be fired??? So it's kawhi's fault Doc has been there for 7 years, blown 2 3-1 leads, had multiple all stars on the team most of those years, and couldn't get his team past the 2nd rnd????? And this is the guy who has pretty much been the consensus "best coach in the league" the past 10 years. Why tf should kawhi try to keep him on to run it back when he couldnt even game plan for the Nuggest.
😂😂😂😂
Show Genius you mean Phil Jackson and not Pop
PG is kawhis daddy
"Joakim Noah wasn't good since his dad won the French Open" I'm dying after this, Shannon is so funny. Imagine being his grandkid
For a guy who doesn't speak, Kwali's silence sure gets people fired.
Heath Anderson I think his silence actually speaks louder than words with him, if he really wanted doc he would have spoke up.
I think people need to stop making excuses for Doc Rivers, he is not good winning one title with 4 how is not an achievement.
I wonder if Doc still feels that Kawhi is the closing thing he’s seen to Jordan now?🤔
In the future when he’s asked who’s the best in the game he’ll just go with Bron or KD, won’t be the Klaw! 🤣🤣🤣
Rivers actually said that!?
Random Guy he said it in terms of play style
Russell Westbrook is the closest thing to Jordan. The dude just can't hit the ocean from the beach. Smh
Ayuub Nur all time yes. Right now between active players, it’s Kawhi
There actually a 🤡 here who actually mentioned Westbrook in the same sentence as MJ
7 years with the Clippers without even 1 final appearance, I think they gave him enough time
That game 7 performance tho 🤪
Yeah he can go on and eat pig feet on somebody else clock
Joshhieyify every great player has their horrible playoff moments it happens and it’s inevitable
La clippers slogans.. “we live in the basement” 😂😂😂
And always will..
They will live in the basement of their own stadium LAKERS WILL ALWAYS RUN LOS ANGELES the Forum was ran by Lakers
Clippers can't ever get out of the basement
😂😂
Oh please
Doc had plenty of chances
Time to move on
Not defending the players but he should have coached them to not be spoiled
They should also trade pg13
@Hritik Srivastava he kinda said that tho and no way mentioned Kawhi😂
You can't trade PG when no one wants him with that contract.
Hritik Srivastava Did you not see the way kawhi performed in game 7? That is on him kawhi is one the reasons the clippers loss probably the main one
@@mynoseisdirty1250 the main reason is not practicing.
The reason those 90s bulls won was because they worked on their game.
Ever team has a switch but not every team has built the machine for that switch to be attached to.
NeoLegendX kawhi can’t practice because of the load management. That’s on him. You can’t make a grown man practice
THEY TRADED A FIRST ROUND PICK FOR MARCUS MORRIS!????!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Morris was dropping 20 a night all be it on a bad team but he was getting buckets
Right lol. They got the wrong one.
@@kyj060792 Yes on a sry team. So why couldn't he get 20 on a great team??🤣🤣🤣

Shannon speaking facts
Yea he seems to always speak facts when it's everybody else,LeBron it's all bias. Skip asked him about LeBron wanting Spo out came up with a lame excuse same thing about Blatt. Shannon the biggest hypocrite
Right decision by Ballmer. You can give Doc Jordan, Lebron and Wilt and he'll somehow end up not taking that team to the Finals.
What are you talking about? The best team he ever had was the 08 Celtics and they were already past their prime. Lob City was never at their full potential because Blake couldn’t even stay healthy and did you forget how bad the Clippers were before Doc got there? PG and Kawhi sold the bag because they were not mentally and physically ready for the playoffs and Doc was used as the scapegoat
What jimmy said
What@@sa-ma-dhi said
What@@shadowwarrior2030 said
Don't try that we all know Lebron would have turned into a coach in that situation.
I respect Doc Rivers but he never got onto his players and disciplined them from the moment Kawhi and Paul George got there
Team full of divas and primadonnas... nothing like those Celtics players
Facts... same with Lob City...too soft on the players.
It’s going to be difficult if Kawhi has a agreement from the owner that he agreed Kawhi could “load manage”. How can you discipline the rest of the team when 1 player gets to sit out practices & games?
💯💯💯
@arronnov be a coach...mentor and motivate
Shannon finally telling the truth. Kawhi never carried the Raptors
This team is so done already. They have no room to add anyone notable, no picks to trade, PG value is as low as possible. Trez prob gone (is that a bad thing tho...lol), Doc gone. Still no playmakers or rim protection.
League will be tougher next year with Warriors, Nets, ascending young teams...window closed!
Crazy thing is the lakers can still add a piece like oladipo via trade or the following year they will only have Lebron(if he doesn’t opt out) and AD on the cap
@@FreeSmoke911 And Boogie!
And Kawhi with load management. It’s all about team chemistry. He’s disrupting it at this point.
Yeah 😂 that's tough...
Ever since that lemon pepper lou incident everything went downhill from there
Lou didn't even look like the same player he's been the last 4 years smh
@@altruistic3276 Last season I thought his defense became "Acceptable". IDK wtf happened now.
"The Clippers don't have a first round draft pick until 2026 they've mortgaged their future"
- Shannon with the truth serum
They have draft picks in 2021, 2023, 2025. Dude doesn’t know what a pick swap is.
@@AAngel548 those are 1st rounders?
S. Keegs yes
@@AAngel548 They dont lol
@@AAngel548 they can swap tho so do ya really have that pic 🤷🏾♂️
The blame is divided by four things -
- Lack of chemistry / games together
- Lack of motivation (wanted out)
- Lack of a rim protector
- Doc's questionable rotations and plays
What you think about they playmaking skill tho ? Not much ball handling in this team dont you think ?
Was Doc playing in the 4th quarter, I know they shouldn't have even been in game 7 but damm
What about making game adjustments what did Doc do
Wisdom Joannes-Erhue 👆🏽 Right , Team Was Losing & He Did Nunthing About It ! 💯
Doc rivers was laughing when they were down🤦🏻♂️ he’s a joke man
Don't know why everyone thinks Doc is a good coach. He's so overated lol
coaches in the nba don't do much. they give cookie cutter speeches during timeouts and half time and that is about it except drawing up a play or two. most of the time it's just players playing ball and if it doesn't work it doesn't work. coaches are useful as scapegoats that is about it
I think Kawhi was talking about his teammates when referring to "basketball IQ", not necessarily Doc. I think Kawhi should be more vocal with the team and be a better leader but this does not solely sit on him. I believe Ballmer wanted to get rid of Doc and he had to make him the scapegoat.
Wasn't it Doc that had to convince Ballmer to trade like 10 picks for Pandemic P?
Nope that's kawhis demands
It was Kawhi
You wasnt just getting Paul. You was getting Kawhi as well so it was well worth it
@@smoove2432 it really wasn’t, everyone knew Paul George underperformed in the playoffs like with okc and now the clippers... they traded 4 picks and some players for him and he sucked!!! Their chemistry is now gone and both kawhai and paul George can leave next year and the clippers won’t give and 1st round picks until 2026 so it wasn’t with it at all
@@kajomusa2898 That's why Paul George should've tried to play with Lebron because some how Lebron gets alot out of his team
There is a 0.01% chance that Balmer did this with Kawhi fully endorsing Doc Rivers. With one year left and him being their only hope in the future, it would be stupid and insane to get rid of a coach he really liked.
Nick Nurse was getting so much praise when Toronto won. What is Shannon talking about ?
More credit was on Kawhi. Nurse was praised more so than given credit. Due to the fact of being a first year coach.
Yea everyone I’m around jumped on the kawhi bandwagon.
Well when you get a championship in your first year.. you tend to get praise
Who got the most praise is what Shannon is talkin about Because if it wasn’t Kawhi people wouldn’t have said that he would again win another chip wit another team!💯 that’s facts 🤷🏽♂️
If nick nurse truly got the credit he deserved for that ring than he wouldn’t have won coach of the year because people would have expected the raptors to be where they were.
I just love how hard Skip is trying to not laugh!
I agree with Unc. Kawhi is low key a bigger snake than KD
Idk about that, Kawhi isn’t as present and probably says nothing at meetings etc. KD will talk about his former teammates on a new account lol. However I like KD.
kobe was a snake too. who cares
FKAA Hey no Kobe disrespect over here bro. We not doing all that.
How is kawhi a “snake” for this?
E 20 he didn’t quit on the Spurs, he forced his way out because he didn’t trust team doctors and Gregg popovich getting tony Parker to say what he said was the straw that broke the camels back. As far as Toronto,he didn’t owe them anything.
From 2:34 on you could see Skip trying to hold in his laughter lol. Shannon is too much
A LeChina bandwagon saying Kawhi could've saved a coach?
No player in HISTORY of this game got so many coaches fired as LeChina has.
I gotta rewacth some of their debates sometimes
"You need to sit down before we swing on you" I luv unc 😂😂😂
I cant wait for lebron to win the series 😂😂😂
💯
You mean the lakers...last time i checked its a team sport 5v5... not 1v5
why? what do you get out of it??
@@terrancewarren380 , Why are you watching a sports show?
Iceman
If only everyone could comprehend that! Team game..they talk about basketball like it’s tennis or golf...smh
I never thought adding Leonard and George to the same team was very smart. They are too similar as players. It is hard to win when your two best players are clones. You need to have some diversity on the roster, so each player plays their own role. They are good-to-great players on their own, but somewhat cancel each other out and minimize each other's effectiveness when both are on the court at the same time.
Just move this team to Seattle where they belong. LA is and will always be Laker town.
Seattle is in the Pacific, sounds like clippers town to me.
The Lippers are moving at Inglewood, CA
and become the Seattle ClipperSonics
Ummmmm no.
Skip needs to stay on that sinking Clipper and not jump in the Lake with the real Champs (pun intended). Keep your goat mask Skip. LBJ got this
Prince James hoping to still get carried by AD. Didn't even make the playoffs last year without him.
Shady Shannon Sharpe watch your back he like white meat and that’s why he lets skip Bayless shady say and do what he wants. TV devil money sell out for the moment Shannon Sharpe
Kawhi wasnt too Cool wit Doc at the End. He Agreed with it.
“U needa sit down fo we swing on u” 😂😂😂😂
Lol lol lol
You can’t win a ring with Paul George
George Paul disagrees.
Would’ve been better off with Chris Paul.
Facts
Yes u can
Make him come off the bench 🤷🏾♂️ or injury him
why it Kawhi fault Nurse never got enough credit? Kawhi constantly praised him. that’s on media.
swear some y’all just inventing storylines
US media, mind u. never give TO players or coaches or owner credit - period
Nurse basically a saint up here in TO
Kawhi also said toronto isnt good enough to win again and left
@@patrickc1807 he didn't say that. He always wanted to go home. He didn't want to go to Toronto in the first place
Trevor Philips nobody cares about Toronto. Kawhi made them relevant, they were nicknamed lebronto
Take a shot everytime skip says hmm during shamnons rant lol
He said “ you need to seat down before we swing on you 😂😂😂😂”
Hahahahha
Doc was the captain. The captain goes down with the ship. Doc’s coaching failed in 2015 against Houston. He made the mistake with the Clippers once before... but twice, that’s not a coincidence. As a Clippers fan, I’m glad to see Doc go.
This was my first time even hearing the Toronto coach's name
Still can't believe the Clippers gave up more for PG than the Lakers did for AD. At one point they had 3 players signed to the roster.
So glad Shannon brought of Nick Nurse.
Kawhi had the audacity to criticize his teams “basketball IQ” of the coach HE CHOOSE. HE CHOOSE to abandon the structure and cohesion of the raptors organization. Kawhi let his team flounder in 4 loses to the Nuggets and he’s got the nerve to criticize anyone but himself.
We keep accusing lebron of going to LA for the lifestyle, the money and Hollywood. So what did Kawhi go to the clippers for? It certainly wasn’t to win since he willingly let his team choke in the 2nd round if the playoffs. Seems to me like Kawhi is just there to make Uncle Dennis money.
thank YOU!!!
Kawhi went to LA because it’s his home and also because want to win there. Of course he can’t do that if he doesn’t have competent teammates and an inconsistent second star. He chose this team and Steve Ballmer will fix it.
Couldn't have said it better myself 👍
Didn’t L3-6ron get Blatt fired while they were the 1st seed🤔 also Doc coaching didn’t work he’s been there 7 years
vinnythewebsurfer Magic got his coach fired after they won the championship cause he didn’t like him
"you need to sit down before we swing on you"
😂😂😂
Unc def need to be in the parade!! 😂
Shannon’s smile could make someone’s day no 🧢
He said “ johakim hasn’t been good since he’s dad won French open “ lol 😂 😂😂😂

HNIC 4real lmao, no more like the other chick from Destiny’s Child” whats her face?? 😂😫
Rich Culture accurate 💯💯😂
No. Rechannel your efforts.
Damn Kawhi burnin bridges from Texas to Toronto.
“Fo we swing on you.” 🤣
Surprising civil. We should have more of these discussions!
Doc Rivers is a playoff coach not a championship coach. Shannon needs to stop playing acting like Docs the Goat
It's funny how Doc Rivers never recruited or asked Kawhi Leonard or Paul George to come to the Clippers and yet he got fired because of their shortcomings.
Skip could of told Shannon to wipe his nose 🤣🤣🥴🥴
Shannon nailed it
Plain and simple
GIVE NICK NURSE THE CREDIT AS HE ALLLLLLWAYS DESERVED !!!!
Bro he’s introverted he’s not gonna go out his way to say something unless it really involves him
Agreed Shannon, not very often but you are right about this one.
why should he endorse Doc.. he hasn't won anything coaching the Clippers
It’s not a coincidence that this happens after the Lakers beat the Nuggs. I think Balmer was waiting to see what was going to happen in that series before cutting off heads.
Kawhi is no longer the kawhi of San Antonio he's a diva now. SMH I use to like the guy, now i can't stand him
You can’t stand him bc he’s a star now
@@batistajrJDC I can't stand him because he is a load management diva
I remember just last season, everyone was giving Doc Rivers so much praise and hype for bringing the Clippers from out of a hole.
Yeah, the Clippers sucked in the playoffs, and the coaching appeared to suck, but dang he's done a pretty good job most of time.
I cant remember the last time Shannon wasn’t spot on with any topic
Same here..
He misses with Lebron a lot
The dude was asked about LeBron wanting Spo out he didn't have this same energy. He said it's different cuz LeBron had more yrs on his contract. Still doesn't change the fact LeBron tried to get the coach fired
I love how Skip says Kawhi is better than LeBron but Holds lebron to a higher standard than MJ and simultaneously holds Kawhi "Baby Jordan" Leonard to the same standard as Zach Lavine
I always thought Doc was overrated anyway.
uh not really, if you pay attention to details this season, they have done worse with better roster. Whereas doc changed the culture in philly and made them one of the best team in the team even if they have been playing with so many injuries.
Its pretty obvious now that doc got a better of the deal. Clippers, majority fault isnt on the coaching staff but the players.
@@tomala118 Nice joke
@@miguelpozos5366 lol its the players that step up and make shots they are supposed to make....they werent make the wide open ones last year when they were under pressured when leading, the stats also showed it.

Skip has the best "Hmm" voice ever 😂❤️❤️❤️😂
Skip been getting washed from Shannon these past couple days
🗣THE CYBORG HE FEELS NO PAIN 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kawhi probably doesn’t say anything at all. He doesn’t look like someone who cares too much about anything and is too outspoken. He’s probably fed up with the attention and how the team performed.
Aww poor baby wanted to go to LA go get away from attention and it blew up in his face. He made his bed now sleep in it
Yes, Kawhi could have. But the problem is, Kawhi never speaks. He probably says a word or two per year.
Kahwi is 1-3 in game sevens I think
2020 west conference finals vs nuggets
2014 west 1st round vs clippers
2013 finals vs miami heat
I may be wrong not sure
Probably, doesn’t do him much justice being that he wasn’t the main guy until a bit into his career and usually ended the round before 7. I don’t see him having too many game 7s if he has a performing team.
he won finals mvp 2014 so that can't be right, prolly a different year maybe
@Lucas Walker true not bashing him.
Lucas Walker lost to the 4 piece nuggets
