Mate: Escándalo en Los Ángeles Clippers

If you thought this was about how a team wins championships, you'd be wrong. This show is hilarious and legend has it, if you finish watching the series, you're going to get the Clippers curse. You'll get fired from your job, wife will leave you and take half your stuff, and you'll tear an ACL.

None of the actors look like their real life counterpart, but that's ok. The acting is well done, but nothing special to brag about. This is more of a comedy than drama about the worst franchise in the NBA. 0 chips and their fans are a joke.

10/10 would recommend. Just don't finish the last episode to avoid the curse.

I'm a big basketball guy, and I remember when the story came out. This show far surpasses what I thought it would be. It's very funny and LA weird/ridiculous without losing any of the gravity. In fact, Clipped found a way to humanize all of the characters... which, for me, made it resonate even more. The cast is brilliant - Ed O'Neil is incredible as Donald Sterling, Laurence Fishburne is Doc Rivers, love Cleopatra Coleman as V, Jackie Weaver is great, Kelly Aucoin is hilarious, and newcomer Yvonna Pearson lights up the screen as Deja. The writing & directing are also superb, and the edit is very fun. Cannot wait to watch the rest!

I may be biased because I was in college for the Sterling scandal and not yet born for the showtime lakers but clipped is honestly better than season 2 of winning time.

Outside of Kirkland brand Steph Curry and yes, Blake Griffin's head being too small, the casting was excellent. I guess more nitpicky complaints would be that Silver looks a little too old and Modern family guy doesn't quite capture the loathsomeness of Donald Sterling, but otherwise this is a pretty faithful retelling of that iconic media circus.

Sad that Lob City will ultimately be remembered like the Moneyball A's, a lasting legacy but never the championship they deserved.

2 episodes in and this a fun and yet a perfect representation of what the world is today.

I won't spoil the show for you but if you like glitz glamour, gossip, sports, social media and people who at times lack self awareness with rich people problems & getting old struggles/staying young, relationships then this show is good escapism for you.

So far, So Good! The casting is very well done and it may get dark soon seeing where it's heading. Manipulation at its finest.

Also bear in mind this is based on a true story, of course recreated for dramatic effect....but stuff like this happens especially with this insta Age.

Enjoy!!

So far I'm halfway through the series with the last two episodes pending to appear in the future. What I can say so far is that while the production values are high, the underlying true story is poorly told.

Sterling's egomaniacal failure as a franchise owner would have made for a compelling story. But so far it's shaping up to be a banal referendum on his moral character and his tattletale sugar-baby lady of the night being positioned as an anti-hero by being spiteful.

I hope I'm wrong but I'm afraid that this Hulu special will be of the Netflix ilk of progressive grandstanding as if we haven't been beaten over the head with the social sensitivity agenda a million times over. It's lazy and I'm hoping that the concluding episodes of the series focuses on the personal story that us sports fans might have overlooked instead of another trite sermon about how people should be loving people or whatever.
