[NBA] 2025 West Playoffs, Round One

[Kingz19]

This may seem random but since his name popped up.

I don’t know if I ever mentioned it, but I partially blame JJ Redick for the Kings/Warriors playoff series changing a couple of years ago.

does anybody remember the fit he threw on postgame after Game 2 saying Domas was fouling Looney on rebounds and pretty much said the refs were handing the Kings the series?

after that, Looney started going off on the boards and was clearly getting away with everything Redick claimed Domas was getting away with and it completely changed the series.

It was a pretty viral take and total BS one and I think it influenced how the rest of the series was called

Laker fans are insane lol the fact that isn't even farfetched, though ...

It’s bull crap nobody was going there if the nba didn’t give them luka

He was soooo salty that he looked like an idiot after we traded for Sabonis. I really hope Scott Perry can put some pieces in place to make the truth a lot more clear yet again - Sabonis isn't someone you just trade away.

one more to go Wolves, lets get it done

Some good games all around this weekend.

Anybody watch the calls Jimmy butler is getting my god

 

[iowamcnabb]

It would be something if the Warriors end up blowing this 3-1 lead

I think they do that’s three straight games they’ve been throughly outplayed but got saved game five with the butler foul. Double big is too much for them especially of Porz isn’t shooting like klay thompson

 

[megapoxy]

I was trying to log in few days ago and ask "how come flagrant foul and technical foul doesn't equal ejection anymore" but the forum was... renovating it seems now.
So this rule changed recently? Has to be double technicals or double flagrant 1s?
Udoka finally leaving Adams on the floor despite Kerr hacking him, he lost Game 4 for taking him out when the Warriors started to do the same.

 

[kingsboi]

Udoka going with the Adams/Sengun line up to punish the Warriors on the boards is a good call. Jabari getting more playing time over Dillon was a plus, he is probably their best shooter, needs to play more. Warriors look rubbish, even if they beat the Rockets, the Wolves will pummel them.

I might even end up more salty about Sengun in the long run over Luka.

How do you pick Davion Mitchell over Sengun?

I was going to say we already had a center but then again, we already had a point guard as well.

Was gonna post this when the site was down that sengun miss might be as bad as Luka ya Luka is generation (might not be anymore with his defense) but we didn’t know that at draft time. Sengun however we needed a big not another damn PG let alone one that can’t play SG. We take sengun we don’t need to trade tyrese we could still sell fox for a bad package. Would be sitting on Hali/Sengun tandem right now

In hindsight, none of the previous 7 picks in front of Sengun had any business being picked over him, and cases could be made for a decent number of the guys selected top-8 in that draft.

The draft is an inexact science. Always has been.

 

[Tetsujin]

Clippers bold “have Kawhi stand in the corner and don’t give him the ball” strategy isn’t working lol

It also help that Sengun grew like another 2 inches since he was drafted. Wasn’t he like 6’9 when he was drafted? I remembered the knock was that he was too small

Harden ain’t beating them playoff choker allegations lol

Every Game 7, like clockwork.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

One of my favorite things about Jokić is the way he completely no-sells leading interview questions.

 

[iowamcnabb]

A lot of pundits were picking the Clips tonight but that elevation is a huge advantage in that 7th game.

A lot of people who aren't pundits, too. I was loud wrong on two (still possibly three) matchups in the west.

It’s kinda unfair if you ask me

Clipps have only a limited amount of time left with Kawhi before his decline starts and keeping Harden as a running mate can't be their scenario moving into next season. Braun did a solid job defending him though.

Starts? He's been declining for 7 years.

Games played last 7 years.

fair enough. I suppose the proper wording that I should use instead here is before the next injury that can potentially make him untradeable or force him to retire.
