It false advertisement its about a thresome and I don't care about that, the lakers show its better than this because that show is about the game baby, its about basqueball, this is about two jealous woman and we as guys don't care about any of that, we are not interested in feeling and love or jealousy, we only care about the balls and the teams and the players, and this series fails to do that, the clippers are definitely the worst team of the wonderful Los Angeles city, and maybe they deserve this bad show, im glad it's a ver tbh, its not worth the trouble my guys just watch winning time instead.
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.

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!
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.

Being a sports fan and keeping up with pop culture and past times I really like series like these and with "Hulu's" limited series "Clipped" I gave it a shot. And wow talk about crying foul how many times can those involved foul out. The series in a blunt and brash fashion takes a look at the life of ex "L. A. Clippers" owner Donald Sterling(Ed O' Neill from "MWC") and how he was banned for life from the "NBA". The series hams it up and tries to be juicy and tabloid like style as each episode showcased leaked comments that Sterling made to his former mistress V. Stiviano. Also behind the scenes with Sterling is the strained relationship with his wife and business partner Shelly(Jacki Weaver). In a good supporting turn is veteran Laurence Fishburne as Clippers head coach Doc Rivers who deals with the power struggle from within the franchise while trying to coach the team to a championship. The issues are sensitive and tough yet this series is fearless with it as it is entertaining for any sports or "NBA" fan despite the fact that it's not the Lakers or "Winning Time".
