It was just four years ago that Kawhi and PG's Clippers would have battles against Harden and Russ's Rockets... man how time flies.
That's wild!
Has it been 4 years now ?!? Damn time flies
Ooooohhh yeah that 4 point play harden got in the clutch...
Westbrook definitely deserves his credibility when it comes down to great set ups and defense, don't know why people forget about a player that Good
No one has forgotten about him. Don't cry
Literally goes unmentioned in the video. That is what forgotten means.
@NotMe-gt6nj lmao. He's not one of the big 3 for the Clippers, that's why he wasn't mentioned.
I'm not saying he's not important, but he's just not as important as PG, Harden and Kawhi
@@williamg7138it’s an big 4
@@williamg7138he very much so is cuz westbrook leading the bench is a game changer
As a general basketball fan I actually want to see the Clips go all the way this year. Would be cool to see players like Russ, Harden and PG finally get a chip
I know right, as the Lakers continue to get attention and not make the playoffs because LeBron is a drama queen. He is a disgrace to the Lakers and all the legends that play for them.
@@jameshawkins6619you are a disgrace as a basketball fan. Why do you hate so much. Maan, get a life coach expert.
I think Good Health has been a blessing for them. I am also really impressed by the coaching. I've heard a lot of good things about Ty Lue, but the Clippers have underperformed and Cleveland had Lebron and co, and only won 1 chip.
But finding a way for Harden, PG, and Kawhi to all play to their strengths together, after an in season trade, is a real accomplishment. I am tentatively rooting for them. Being able to swallow ego and do what's best for the team is a good sign. Russ also plays into that.
Agree with everything you said here, great comment!
They only won 1 chip due to kyrie and k love injury in first season and because of kevin durant joining the warriors lol
Honestly, I feel like Cleveland would've won at least one more if KD didn't join the Warriors, maybe Kyrie wouldn't leave if they won again in 2017, who knows? As for the Clips situation, I think that's mostly injury related rather than coaching related.
@@emkast8257and heat only won 2 first version of KD lol
Yeah, they've always been right there but injuries have derailed them for years, hopefully this is their year
Nothing but analysis. Pure hoop analysis. We don’t care for the narratives around players, just how they hoop. If you’re denying them as a title contender, it’s just hate.
Exactly! It's great
playoffs are a different animal, Harden has a career of collapse in play once the whistles tighten and defenses stiffen.
@@Edlouis564that narrative is overstated and not necessarily true. He has really strong playoff performances, I believe more 40pt playoff games than Steph curry (can’t confirm someone can check on this). It’s clear he cannot deal with carrying an entire team through the regular season and playoffs alone, he’s only human . He’s not on Lebrons level and it’s clear that he needs to be the second or third option, which he is now on the clips. I think if these playoffs he doesn’t underperform it will prove that narrative is a bit overblown, but if he does I’ll shut my mouth.
@@Edlouis564acting like he chokes every playoffs u casual 🤦♂️ multiple series with 30+ ppg with efficient splits just to lose to the championship team.
To be fair to Harden he usually runs into absolutely historic teams his rockets were the only team that even competed with the Warriors in the west im still convinced That if CP3 never gets hurt he eliminates the KD warriors and even more recently with the 76ers he had a close 7 game series with the Celtics where he won games on his own even with the Nets they went to 7 with the eventual winners the bucks sadly neither him nor Kyrie were healthy if you really look at it with context its abit exaggerated
What’s also great about this lineup is that Kwhai and PG get to rest on some offense as James is double teamed and they get easy baskets.
Yup. Kawhi and PG’s defense has been crazy good this year.
A great “pick your poison” type offense
All facts, more energy for their own on-ball possessions, and on defense.
Clipper have an insane starting lineup. What actually makes it work is that Kawhi and PG are both lowkey and don't mind sharing the ball dominance, which synchronizes very well with Harden and Westbrook Ball dominant game style.
The fact that this video didn’t even mention Russell Westbrook shows you how good this LA Clippers team is. Praying for a healthy postseason🙏🏽
Facts!
Not just Russ, they have a whole bench of good players
I was a tad bummed that Russ was not mentioned, hopefully there will be another video about the other players. The Clippers bench is Soo fun and I find myself worrying less with switch outs.
This chemistry is top tier amongst any team in the NBA at this point and the ceiling is limitless.
And not to forget how Westbrook will come in and make the pace faster whenever the opponents are catching fire.
Norman Powell is crazily efficient too.
How is powell efficient?
With a career 60 TS% and currently shooting 45.5% from 3!
Westbrook minutes? HA! Westbrook gets dog housed in close games.
@@sindilacion did you steal your mother’s phone or what?
Everybody wants to talk about the big 3 but shouts out to Norm Powell. Everytime the starting group goes on a slide or starts to lose the lead. More often then not, he comes in and it's bucket after bucket
Definitely a great call, I love his game
They have 2 of the best 2 way wings, 1 of the best playmakers in the league and overall, 3 elite scorers
Norman Powell is really an elite scorer too he's averaging 13 on 50/40/90 with a limited role
Norman plays his role snd fits in perfectly on this team
@trelllmaoyessir of course he is great! I jsut meant for the starters but norm is very clutch as well
@@trelllmaoyessirNBA champ Norman Powell!!!
Lets not forget T Mann and Powell work as play finisher. Theis is a strong back up and Zu is doing great
Seeing Harden in a Rockets jersey and LeBron in a Lakers, made me question reality for a second😂
Isnt harden's most iconic team the rockets?
@@drodrig1It’s the fact that it all happened so quickly with Harden.
@@dre5908he was with the rockers for 8 years?
@@jakeman025 That’s not the point brother, the point is that James Harden went through all this in a span of 5 years. From the Rockets, to the Nets, to the Philly, and to the Clippers. The OP is saying it’s wild to see LeBron in a Lakers jersey while Harden is in a rockets one..because it feels like he was on the rockets a decade ago.
That did look strange
The Harden - Norm - PG - Kawhi - Zu death lineup has been insane. 35+ net rating.
One of the best lineups in basketball!
I’m just glad to see Kawhi see being effective I’m not ready to see a NBA without him. I always got spurs and Scottie Barnes to watch at least.
same here
Same imma miss Kawhi enjoy it while it lasts. Such a great baller
Scottie Barnes 💀
@@williamg7138 yes Scottie Barnes
@ChanBoogie310 yes, my favourite player Ricky Rubio retired the other day. I'm distraught 😂
The Triangle Offense fits this team just like the 96’Bulls 😮💨 Tye Lue played with MJ and Kobe what a plus…
PG and Harden are also improving. That’s the part they talk about where they can still get better
Are they using the triangle? Why is the triangle effective?@@TheNickhammond
You gotta deal with the 3 headed monster and if that’s not enough we have the energizer bunny coming off the bench
Big 5 with Zubac; commentator referred to Harden as "vintage Harden" I predicted "vintage Harden" after trade to Clippers. Aedin
Your comment is great 😂
When Kawhi is feeling good he IS that man. The problem is he gets hurt all the time.
Closest thing I've seen to Jordan when he's on. Got it on both sides of the ball.
Khawhi has a irreparable knee injury, Ty Lue knows how to load manage the Big 5 to preserve Khawhi for the "big dance". Aedin
Clippers coach is working miracles with getting them to buy in
Ty Lue!
what a nice breakdown bro solid job
Glad you enjoyed!
The Clipppers, on paper is crazy versatile offensively. There's just so many options of lineups they can use in the playoffs. Only thing stopping them is health.
It’s insane how fast this team figured it out and has been on 🔥🔥🔥 and hasn’t slowed down! I knew it wasn’t fair when they got Harden, and he was going to make them good bcuz of 3pt shot and was an underrated passer… but with Harden being the main PG at 6”8’ really opens up the whole court for the team. U can’t leave PG and Kawhi open bcuz they are great shooters, but that would leave Harden open at the top of the key for an open 3pt or a pick & roll with Zu! As a Clips fans I knew they were going to be good, by I didn’t think they were going to be The Unstoppable Juggernaut in the NBA!? They are playing Beutiful basketball… I wish I still had the Clippers channe.
Bruh Harden is 6’5 not 6’8
@@Todd-DaGod-Howardhe like 6’6 he taller then pj and was same height as Kobe in photos he big body you can tell just how he bumps mfs when he goes for lay ups
@@Todd-DaGod-Howardhe might aswell be 6”10’ bcuz he’s going to be a walking nightmare for the opposing PG on the other team… plus he’s a heavy dude compared to most dudes in his original position? Plus Zu has stepped it up this season, so it’s going to be really hard for teams to stop that pick & roll… Harden has the easiest role on this team and Zu has been getting the easiest baskets. Team really looks Elite. Plus somehow Westbrook has embraced playing D as a player? A lot of these guys look like polar opposite’s… 😂 watching this as a Clippers fan, I’m confused with amazement!
Now everyone a fan of my clippers 😂😂😂
@@king-ghost1027 Been a Clips fan since 05! With Livingston,Cassell and Brand… and Dunleavy Coaching them.
Good video. As a Clippers fan, thank you for the honest analyzation of the team. Have added this video to my daily playlist.
I'm glad you enjoyed!
They’re a legit championship contender. Simple as that.
Naw of or kawhi will get hurt when it counts and harden will disappear.
No doubt about it
I think it's their year.
This may truly be the only channel I’ve stumbled upon that breaks every move/shot and play down and makes it easy to understand better with 0 bias or frank added to the video. You the peoples champ fam 👏🏻💙
The only things that makes me worry for this clippers team is 1) their health. And 2) if you rewatch most of the clips you have in this video it is some sort of fast break or taking advantage of a 4 on 5 situation or a very weak defender. Once they get into the playoffs the game slows down and they won’t have as many of these opportunities so I hope they can utilize their big 3 in the half court effectively
As long as Charles Barkley doesn’t give any guarantees, I like the clips. Definitely will be a tough matchup in the playoffs.
He already said Clips are looking to be the most dangerous. So the guaranteed is going to happen soon.
He's guaranteed Denver last year and the Bucks couple years before that. Not so much of a jinx anymore.
@@Raaghav235 Yes, he is getting better at it.
I will never trust the clippers in the playoffs
Now I see alot of clippers bandwagon fans 😂😂😂
I love how Harden and Westbrook they silence all the media clowns and hater: they are showing that even the clippers are a better organisation than their embarrassing last year franchises.
This is the best game analysis video I have ever seen. It's not just elite for baskteball analysis, I'm saying it's the best analysis video I've seen in ANY sport
This was exceptional
It's crazy to see how well they play together, after those first initial losses. Now it looks like they've been playing together for awhile now. Go clippers
A lot of people look stupid now 😂😂
@@curtiszyr I admit, I didn't like the trade.....I'm still skeptical of playoffs because that's where Harden struggles. I'm happy to see during the first streak of losses he didn't flip out or do anything crazy drastic. It could be a sign of his commitment and maturity, but we will see in playoffs. For now it looks like we will finally be a top seed giving us a better position. Looks like we might meet Lakers in playoffs if they keep the current flow
@@MagnusSentDooM The thing is that, the playoff is where Kawhi absolutely shrines. The team is figuring themselves out and filling in their roles. Their versatile skill set makes it a nightmare for coverage because they literally have 4 guys that can Drive/Dish or spot up for 3. This is what they all hoped the Nets would be, but the lack of buy-ins from the players made it difficult. Here all these guys want are willing to differ because they want to be at their home-town and winning there will be huge for them. - This is from what I've gathered from their interviews, for example Westbrook taking the absolute biggest pay-cut.
This is Hardens best team dynamic situation since the Rockets. He isn't battling any large egos on the team and he has been given the keys to the offense. Everything he has wanted and it shows in his mentality this season.
"The System" is the large ego on the team lol
Great video, you earned yourself a subscriber
I appreciate that, glad you enjoyed!
I’m honestly glad they’re gelling. They had me nervous for the beginning of the season
The game with raptors yesterday was so entertaining. Back and forth for 36 points
Facts
I just hope they stay healthy. I reeeaally want Harden and Russ win their first chip to shut up the haters. They deserve this
And PG
@@prisonmike4067 wasn't my point. PG isn't nearly as hated as Russ and Harden and called a fraud. The disrespect both get is just crazy
@@kjjr3270PG is extremely hated wym😂 dude was being called pandemic p by the league for years
very educative, I've learned a lot about basketball plays.
Thank you ♥
Glad you enjoyed!
i even learned something as a clipper fan so very nice video keep it up
I'm glad to hear that, thanks for watching!
at first I thought they wouldn't figure it out but ay S/O T lue mane that man a Genius
i like the way they play. hope they stay healthy. Theis is a steal. I hope Harden stays focused and makes no drama
He never made any drama you weirdo
Very eloquent, undeniable points. Facts, one might say
I seen the clippers live vs the pelicans and the pels tried to double harden off the pick and roll and then zubac had a great game. I really can’t see how you would stop this team but we will see in the postseason
Offensive juggernaut for sure, definitely have some defensive weak points that a team like Denver could exploit though
@@HoopVenueyou can also say that there are a lot of weak points in Denver’s defense that the clippers can take advantage of.
@@HoopVenue We have the bodies to throw at jokic they're just a bit taller that's it. But I don't think the nuggets have enough perimeter defense for Harden, Kawhi, PG and Norman Powell
love to hear your thoughts on their defensive weak points@@HoopVenue
Strengths/weaknesses of each team is definitely something I want to gear my playoff content towards, a preview of all 16 or something
Fantastic breakdown
Glad you enjoyed!
Westbrook also deserves to be in the conversation.🔥
Don't forget of the WestBEAST.
For sure!
Clippers slowly but surely improve their CHEMISTRY & big salute to Russell Westbrook 💪🔥💪
Been a fan of Harden since I witnessed him going to war with the most stacked team of all time, the narratives around him are extremely misleading, and he's had terrible luck with injuries on his squads in playoff runs, would love nothing more than to see him win one with Russ in his hometown, he should have one by now, but this one would be sweet to witness
早干嘛去了？
I’ve been to 11 games this season, all Ws. We need to win this year.
You might just be the key
they're always unstoppable when kawhi and pg were there
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed!
I think people forgot harden had a bag he used to put the construction hat on in Houston..it's looking scary for the league seeing a few good teams already starting to go into rebuild mode
Good video brother.
I'm glad you enjoyed!
Clips are too lit 🔥
The most important things I heard was that they are playing the triangle offense with an elite 3 point shooting playmaker, an elite post scoring 2 way wing at SG, and an elite diming two way lock at SF.
They look MUCH closer to the 2nd 3 peat Bulls than people think. They are literally winning on everything the meta says you can't do to win.
Can you do a video on the new look Knicks after the OG Anunoby trade and how balanced they are offensively with the spacing and defensively with the switching versatility? 🤔
Definitely!
The Clippers is going to the championship and win it 💯💯
That first step…reminds me of 2018. Although Harden is no longer an elite defender or first option, he’s far from washed and still as unguardable as he ever was.
Super stretch.
Great video
Thanks!
I just hope that it would continue until playoffs. Im a Kawhi Leonard fan and I dont like his load management things but I still support him and root for him nontheless.
Clips should also try and get Dwight Howard to come off the bench.
Cam Reddish, Christian Wood, and Jarred Vanderbilt
missing one thing.... clips are also an elite defensive team.
3:45 harden could’ve gotten way more out of that play if he drove to the left ,passing to zubac when he isnt in a position to score wasn’t the best option other than that nice vid bro clips most talented team in NBA
can't wait for the playoffs!!
I called it 5 months ago that clippers will make it to the western conference finals. Peeps thought I was crazy…. Look at them now.
This video was well made
I’m glad you enjoyed!
Are you planning on covering the Knicks after the OG trade?
I probably will sometime soon, they've been killing it.
@@HoopVenueyes please and then another one on how the raptors are too with the trade. Im torn but happy for rj and iq
I just hope they don't get injured in the playoffs, like they usually do
Paul geoge and zubac is the reason clippers is best team now
We’ll find out in the playoffs
harden has been needing this for years i’ve been saying it and was always doubted. this is the perfect team for him he’s so elite
No talk about 6th man? Clippers always in my opinion, have had a strong viable 6 man every time. Jamal, lou, norman/russ. They be so important especially in games we trail in.
Definitely a great call, just wasn't the topic!
Not to miss the part that they have given same lineup and resting time period in all quarters every game ! Hence it’s pretty stable
Let’s see what they will do in the playoffs???????
Absolutely!
@@HoopVenue yup
They'll do great, it's not like they an up and coming team with no play off experience. They have one of the most combined play off experience in the league.
@@ilikecheeze5110 what ever you say 🤷♂️😂
@@levontethompson8840 Whats ur team
As a Toronto fan, i can attest that Kawhi is the best player in the NBA
what i saw against Phoenix is sheer teamwork, which is a serious problem for the rest of the NBA. If they play like that...
I still think they need a PF. A two way player that is a good defender. They gave up all their PF in the trade.
@@almac9203what do they need one for? Would it help possibly but kawhi fits that spot perfectly. They don’t really have size issues, the main thing they are lacking is defensive consistency
@@juleo707 they lack defensive consistency because they lack good defenders. Kawhi is really a 3 rather than a 4 and he has to guard up because they don't have a proper PF. Kawhi and PG-13 are also older and aren't the elite defenders they once were. Kawhi and PG-13 are still good defenders but they can't play elite defense consistently without being worn out. If they could somehow get a versatile lengthy defender it would help them get stops. Even Covington instead of PJ Tucker would have been helpful.
@@almac9203 Kawhi and pg be locking shit tho lol kawhi just had 3 steals 2 blocks and pg had 5 steals 1 block so idk where u got that idea from 😂 and kawhi against phx had 5 steals. They don’t look tired at all maybe kawhi but he gets his rest and subbed for Powell who gets buckets. T man is really the defensive pressure so ultimately this team comes down to shot making and if they are hitting and limiting turnovers it’s going to be tough to beat ‘em
Proud to be a Clippers fan
It’s crazy how you have to literally go out of your way to get any sort of tactical analysis of a team in the nba now. Even The Athletic is all about player narratives and awards
I wish mainstream NBA media was like the NFL.
They can be outsized. But outside of the main guys having an off night, not much you can do. Kawhi is typically double or triple teamed.
Harden is so good , he took the best team of all time to 7 games. Glad to see him get some credit
Criminally underrated.
Great breakdown of clippers offense.
Glad you enjoyed!
could you go over why Wiggins is struggling on court. his on court +- is crazy bad
I’m not sure I want to make something so negative 😭
@@HoopVenueWhy not lmao
@@HoopVenue Actually I would like to know more about Jordan Poole 😭
Bro on meds n all type of shit his mind isn’t strictly on hooping. He’s been that way his entire career
In my opinion we’ve been doing to many isos recently. Even with the best 2 iso scorers in the league rn in harden and Kawhi, teams like Boston okc and even the lakers have been pretty good on doubling and locking those down.
ISO wins the playoffs though
@@TheNickhammond maybe the last play but team ball always wins, "get action" and screening will always be effective offense, especially if you can find a mismatch to attack
@@TheNickhammondno it doesn’t..the rockets with harden are a prime example of that
Did you see Kenny Smith break down offense, anyone???great take
keep it up bro! much love for your videos
I appreciate that!
Beast video .
Appreciate it!
Loved the vid, wanted to ask who’s better in 2024 Steph or Shai?
How it just came out? I mean it probably is a W but tf💀
Shai's been better this season for sure
LA vs LA would be such a fan series in the playoffs
100%, looking forward to it
Not to mention Clippers could get better at the trade deadline . They still lack a 4 … a dorian finney smith or jerami grant would be perfect
Jerami 👍 but I don't think Portland would take a package of Coffey, BBjr, Bones and some rookies.
KAWHI Is him...This guy could've taken the CLIPS to the west Finals last season but he got injured somehow...he was cooking the SUNS with WESTBROOK on his side..and i believe he definitely was going to make it far
This is just the beginning. These guys are still in their prime, just let all of them get their groove back. It’s an all star team.
Hopefully no one have a injured this season im rooting alway for paul george. ♥️
I think Ty Lue has to use the rest of the season to introduce Hyland and PJ into rotation, Bones was playing well and Tucker could be a good spot up shooter to keep and score advantage
hey is the discord still open to join? the link in the description currently says it’s invalid or expired
Sorry about that, just updated it. Let me know if you're still having problems.
Well since December 1 I seen 3 answers Boston. OKC and the Lakers. that not horrible but should be concerning because 2 of the teams are in their conference and the other one can be a finals match up
Fire breakdown as always my guy
Appreciate it!
Every NBA team know what will this Clippers TEAM are built for, ISOLATION, and after going on these play with that Harden, Paul and Kawhi on the floor ANY defense could just be ineffective and will open a bunch of plays on their teammates and stopping that kind of offense.. thats the MOST HARD TASK DEFENSIVELY😮
I’ll always back up my guy Kawhi, been supporting since San Diego State. I was skeptical when we got Harden (I personally like him, just not as my guy Kawhi). Kawhi been playing physical, n when it just Brodie and PG we were promising. The fact team #1 in W’s post 5 L’s and Zubac is averaging a double double has got me speechless in crazy chemistry.
Zubac had to remind Paul George to run that sick fake screen play for him 😂
no way you made this video without mentioning Russell Westbrook this man is doing so much for the team.
I did a separate video on him, the topic of this one was the big 3's offense!
Westbrook as a different style player to these 3, makes the team even better
Definitely, especially when he’s in control of the bench unit, allows these guys to play together more
I hope all of those ex main characters accept that it's their last chance to get a chip if only they accept to be co-stars. None of them are at their peak anymore, but if the entire team play to their potential they're still more talented than any other team at the moment.
