Too much was made about the game 7 turnaround.TheKobeStopper said:
A lot of people forget about the elevation.haie said:Decent game one in 2% land. Surprised Clippers ran out of gas like that.
Clippers controlled that all the way up until midway 3rd quarter, and should have closed it. I'd be fucking pissed if I was a LAC fan and they had other fans for me to communicate my displeasure to. -
I'm guessing this isn't really Zion but he knocks out about 5 guys

Stats like that are stupid. Mitchell's entire career has been during the league's faster pace of play and emphasis on the 3. Malone played in a slow it down, two-man game.RaceBannon said: -

I enjoyed the two time MVP getting locked up down the stretch by 100 year old, no knees, Blake Griffin.
I cannot imagine a scenario where I ever root for Durant but if he wins it this year, I’ll give him his respect and credit as a first time champion. And move all my hate to Giannis, who is the worst MVP in NBA history. -
Damn. I guess the Clips are the Clips.
I thought this time was different, with a brand new Husky stadium and year 5 and star players and shit.
Fuck me. -

Expect the Clippers to lose one at home.

Need a courtside appearance from Ryan Gosling and some 3's in the 4th quarter. The defense is there. -
Clearly Gia isn’t a go to guy down the stretch. Never has been. But 33 and 14 shooting 45% isn’t an embarrassment.TheKobeStopper said:I enjoyed the two time MVP getting locked up down the stretch by 100 year old, no knees, Blake Griffin.

How they use Giannis is an embarrassmentKaepsknee said:

Best finisher in the league
Problem is they think he’s an initiator -
He can't shoot. You can't be a star (real star) if you can't shoot the 3. It's comical how NJ doesn't even respect him until he drives.Tequilla said:

The NBA ... it’s FANTASTIC

Suns fans have been preparing this, one season at a tim...RaceBannon said:Who says the Suns are soft?

They certainly shouldn’t allow to him to take 9 threes. That’s for sure.Tequilla said:

I’m just happy that the Suns fan made him pull his pants up.RaceBannon said:Who says the Suns are soft?

Doesn't need to shoot the 3. Just needs a mid-range jumper to keep defenses honest. Not everyone can hit from 24 feet.haie said:

Yeah, went to Zoiglehaus Thurs with my brother in law who put 500$ on the Nets at -3.5RaceBannon said:
During/After the game "These guys are fucking front runners."
Now that Uncle Drew is out the built in excuse is there and KD is a bitches bitch. He didn't look like what @Tequilla says he is.
Franchise is begging Harden at this point. -
This is karma for him ruining what should have been an all time great rivalry in Cavs-Warriors.
-
It's KD against Giannis now. Fair fight. Lot of LeBron could make the Finals with no help tweets out there
-
I’m hearing that making the Finals coming out of the East is easy.

Injuries can derail any Championship run ... but you are too much of a nitwit to get thatTheKobeStopper said:I’m hearing that making the Finals coming out of the East is easy.
And btw, it took 2 injuries for Brooklyn to be fucked ... just like it took 2 injuries to fuck over the Warriors in 2019 -
That was ever a rivalry?TheKobeStopper said:This is karma for him ruining what should have been an all time great rivalry in Cavs-Warriors.
The only time the Cavs won was when LBJ stopped to trying to (and successfully pulling off) getting Draymond suspended
If KD isn’t with the Warriors, then it’s either then retaining Harrison Barnes or using the $$$ for a better player -
At a certain point you guys need to realize that if two All Stars and top 10 players get injured, it’s hard to win in the playoffs.

There’s no way you can substitute significant injury issues in the Playoffs ... it’s also not a mark against any legacies from my perspectiveRoadDawg55 said:At a certain point you guys need to realize that if two All Stars and top 10 players get injured, it’s hard to win in the playoffs.
There’s been a number of examples throughout NBA History of this as well ... it’s not super common but does happen from time to time -

That said can’t really get away with that in today’s game -

Luka either wants him gone or Rick has the same issues that Luka has
