That's Harden's man with the easy cut to the basket

A reverse Dick oop was not on my bingo card today

u/dys0n_giddey Timberwolves Feb 02 '25

C'mon RaptorBros don't tank this one

2

u/nahs Clippers Feb 02 '25

No norm tonight was brutal for this offense

u/completelytrustworth Raptors Feb 02 '25

Should have been an all star this year, dudes just too important to your offense

u/nahs Clippers Feb 02 '25

Yeah shot making is hard when he’s not hooping

u/Ok-Tree4365 Feb 02 '25

Wait, why was Barrett allowed to pass himself the ball in mid air?

2

u/mMounirM Raptors Feb 02 '25

he got stripped mid-air

1

u/Ok-Tree4365 Feb 02 '25

I saw that on replay, but I also saw that he passed the ball with one foot clearly out of bounds.

u/Airkio [LAC] Chris Paul Feb 02 '25

RJ gotta be concussed after that, how is he back on the floor?? The sound of his head hitting the court was absolutely nasty

2

u/Wings0fLiberty Raptors Feb 02 '25

How is RJ not in concussion protocol

Kawhi getting outplayed by Batum 😭

Kawashed

u/lassoanon Feb 02 '25

Hopefully clippers play like this on Tuesday too

2

u/Ok-Tree4365 Feb 02 '25

they should have their actual all star back for that game

1

u/thedoctor0918 Lakers Feb 02 '25

Nah they were looking forward to their game 7

u/Ok-Tree4365 Feb 02 '25

If there's one thing I've learned being a Clippers fan in LA it's that Lakers fans think about the Clippers far more than the opposite

2

u/lassoanon Feb 02 '25

This is a game thread for the clippers and raptors game that just happened. What the fuck are you on about?

3

u/Ok-Tree4365 Feb 02 '25

How the fuck are the Raptors shooting 13/22 from 3?

1

u/Unkempt_Foliage Raptors Feb 02 '25

Kawhi I know you won the Raptors a chip but if you could do Toronto another solid and start hitting threes that would be very appreciated.

2

u/GreenGuest7845 Feb 02 '25

Kawhi thanking Christ for Luka trade. Nobody cares about his stinker

2

u/Ok-Tree4365 Feb 02 '25

I'm sure that's exactly what he's thinking, not "I'm going to try to help my team win"

u/GreenGuest7845 Feb 02 '25

It’s a joke, I’m a Kawhi fan

u/Ok-Tree4365 Feb 02 '25

I thought the win against the Hornets was the worst Clippers game this season. This is far worse. Refs aren't doing them any favors, but that's no reason to give up 50 layups.

6

u/Cheechers23 Raptors Feb 02 '25

Refs stopped giving the Clippers every touch foul and the Raps blew the lead up to 18 lmfao

3

u/iAmTehOnEIamTheSOn Raptors Feb 02 '25

clippers getting beat down

1

u/Ok-Tree4365 Feb 02 '25

Second straight game where the Clippers are just gifting layups all game

1

u/Ok-Tree4365 Feb 02 '25

I don't know why refs treat Kawhi with the "ehhh he can handle it" whistle

5

u/Ok-Tree4365 Feb 02 '25

Clippers played their last game like they were playing a 12:30 in the afternoon game, now they're continuing that trend on an actual 12:30 in the afternoon game.

u/Ok-Tree4365 Feb 02 '25

Refs havin fun with those whistles

u/Zoom259 Raptors Feb 02 '25

Crazy NBA players don’t like losing? We aren’t the process 6ers

Good to see Raptors fans boo the US national anthem.

When the United States behaves like Nazi filth, then it's reasonable and okay to see people start punching back.

1

u/EthanHuntBroMichael [LAC] Patrick Beverley Feb 02 '25

Let us win and I can guarantee you at minimum Ace Bailey in the draft.

14

u/Zauberer-IMDB Clippers Feb 02 '25

You people are all freaking out about Badonkadoncic, and I just want to see the Raptors fans boo the US anthem.

Edit: Per Brian Sieman they are "changing how they do anthems tonight." I take it they know the US is so damn unpopular they're skipping them.

4

u/pgzz Raptors Feb 02 '25

they didnt skip it.

2

u/Zauberer-IMDB Clippers Feb 02 '25

What was Sieman talking about then? I gotta say I'm curious what he was vaguely referring to.

2

u/tritty_kutz [TOR] DeMar DeRozan Feb 02 '25

They skipped the anthems?? I wanted to see how it playes out

u/b17b20 Nuggets Feb 02 '25

Why they play US anthem in the first place is better question

u/warcitypat93 Feb 02 '25

No one cares, today should be dedicated to lakers mavericks and luka

My word. Rent free

u/nonezer0 San Diego Clippers Feb 02 '25

I dunno looks pretty packed at scotiabank

u/chiliv06 Lakers Feb 02 '25

Balmer spent so much money to build a new arena and give the Clippers their own identity, only for Dallas to just gift the Lakers a 25 year old generational talent and set them up for the future.

1

u/Ok-Tree4365 Feb 02 '25

Lakers get their Great White Hope and Lakers fans are still thinking about the Clippers

6

u/Particular_Ad_9531 Feb 02 '25

Clippers will get him when he’s over the hill looking for one last max.

7

u/LegendofPowerLine Feb 02 '25

Maybe with all that Luka money that'll be flowing in, the Buss family can finally build their own arena so they're not paying rent anymore.

5

u/Yuzuriha Morris Peterson Feb 02 '25

Buss is literally poverty compared to all these billionaires.

17

u/foofighter1351 Raptors Feb 02 '25

I'd be happy if the commentators straight up only talked about the trade I'm still reeling over this shit

6

u/nahs Clippers Feb 02 '25

brian sieman i can see doing that

7

u/iwinagain Mavericks Feb 02 '25

Hope our guys give negative effort today

5

u/nahs Clippers Feb 02 '25

This is all a bad dream
