Lawrence Frank calls Clippers season another ‘lost opportunity’

Lawrence Frank calls Clippers season another ‘lost opportunity’

Published by skeptic

The 2023-24 season ended in disappointment yet again for the Clippers and now they will turn their attention to next season and how they can reach their goal of winning an NBA championship with a core group that’s getting older. It’ll start with Lawrence Frank, the Clippers’ president of basketball operations, his front-office staff and owner Steve Ballmer having to make some decisions on the best path forward. The Clippers and Paul Gerorge were unable to reach a contract extension during the season, which means he can become a free agent if he opts out of a contract that would pay him $48.7 million next season. James Harden, who made $35 million this season and whom the Clippers acquired from the Philadelphia 76ers in October, will be an unrestricted free agent this summer. Russell Westbrook has a player option for next season of $4.027 million. Along with a healthy Kawhi Leonard, Frank said the team would like to bring back the entire group, along with giving Clippers coach Tyronn Lue an extension. First, the Clippers …

Young Clippers radio voice Carlo Jiménez honors his grandfather

Carlo Jiménez, a young broadcaster inspired by his family, completed his first season as the Clippers’ new voice on KLAC-AM (570) radio. Jiménez, 23, is a 2023 USC graduate. He earned the Jim Nantz Award, which recognized him as the nation’s most outstanding college sports broadcaster, and made a formidable leap to calling Clippers games soon after wrapping up classes. He replaced Noah Eagle, who moved to NBC Sports during the summer. “I am very grateful to the Clippers, and big credit to Noah Eagle, who blazed that path,” said Jiménez, who had visited only four other states before getting the job that took him all over the country. Jiménez’s debut season has featured surreal moments, such as when he was in Portland for a game against the Trail Blazers and paused to realize what he was experiencing. He couldn’t believe he was going to be broadcasting an NBA game. Carlo Jimenez, the Clippers’ 23-year-old play-by-play radio broadcaster, was inspired by his grandfather’s rise from farmworker to distinguished professor. (Jill Connelly / Los Angeles Times …

James Harden disappears at the worst time for the Clippers

James Harden disappears at the worst time for the Clippers

Published by skeptic

James Harden produced one of his trademark playoff performances on Wednesday night. Actually, that’s not true. This was worse. In the Clippers’ 123-93 loss to the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 of their first-round series, the longtime postseason underachiever delivered a Harden Special for the ages, making only two of 12 shots and scoring seven points. Clippers shooting guard James Harden, right, dribbles under pressure from the Dallas Mavericks’ Tim Hardaway Jr. on Wednesday. (Robert Gauthier / Los Angeles Times) Seven. You read that right. Seven. Seven, as in the number of days in a week. Seven, as in half the number of points Mavericks reserve Jaden Hardy scored in six minutes of garbage time. As a result, the Clippers are now behind in the best-of-seven series, 3-2, and one loss away from this season ending like every single one before it: without a championship. To what did coach Tyronn Lue attribute Harden’s latest gutterball in the playoff bowling alley? “Being human,” Lue said. Except players who earn $35.6 million a year, as Harden did …

James Harden helps Clippers even series with Mavericks

James Harden helps Clippers even series with Mavericks

Published by skeptic

DALLAS —  The Clippers were missing their main cog, the absence of Kawhi Leonard because of right knee inflammation and swelling in Game 4 leaving the group short-handed in what was deemed a potential series-altering playoff encounter. But these were the moments why the Clippers acquired James Harden, why they added another future Hall of Famer, and why they felt good about their chances even when Leonard couldn’t play. And Harden didn’t let the Clippers down, scoring 11 of their final 16 points to help them withstand blowing a 31-point lead, finishing with 33 points in a 116-111 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday afternoon at American Airlines Center. With Harden’s seven assists and six rebounds along with Paul George’s series-high 33 points, eight assists and six rebounds, the Clippers tied the Western Conference best-of-seven series at 2-2. Game 5 is Wednesday night at Crypto.com Arena Interestingly, the Clippers have won both games in which Leonard was sidelined.

Kawhi Leonard Is Ruled Out With Knee Issue as Clippers Face Mavs in Game 4

Kawhi Leonard Is Ruled Out With Knee Issue as Clippers Face Mavs in Game 4

Published by skeptic

DALLAS (AP) — Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard has been ruled out of Sunday’s Game 4 of a first-round series against the Dallas Mavericks, with no timetable for his return from right knee inflammation. Leonard played in the second and third games of the series after missing the final eight games of the regular season and the series opener. The six-time All-Star never looked comfortable in the Clippers’ 101-90 loss in Game 3, finishing with nine points on just seven shots, his fewest in a playoff game in 10 years. Leonard played 25 minutes as Dallas took a 2-1 series lead. “When you watch him play, it was very obvious that is not Kawhi Leonard,” team president Lawrence Frank said before the game, calling the injury “tricky.” He added the Clippers don’t know when the 32-year-old’s surgically repaired knee might be ready for a game. The Clippers won the series opener without Leonard, with James Harden scoring 28 points and going 6 of 11 from 3-point range. Photos You Should See – April 2024 …
