NBA Playoffs, Round One

[Tetsujin]

Dallas looked like they were starting to seize command of the game and then a couple of awful defensive possessions spurred on by Carlisle playing his two slowest guys at once get the Clips the lead again.

 

[SLAB]

Man, everything about Dallas other than Luka suuuuuuuuuuuucks.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Porzingis getting tossed around and manhandled on the boards.

 

[captain bill]

People used to be adamant that Zinger was better than Boogie but I'm not even sure he's better than Boogie now.

good think he’s only owed $100mm over the next 3 years

 

[Tetsujin]

"Great footwork!"

*Also six steps

 

[Tetsujin]

Swipa would've hit those

 

[Tetsujin]

How can a dude so good at making stepback fade away weird angle threes be so bad at hitting free throws? (Not heating on the guy, just legit curious)

 

[SLAB]

We’re done. WTG Dallas.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kawhi absolutely dominating the Mavs on both sides of the court right now.

 

[Tetsujin]

We’re done. WTG Dallas.

Just like with Portland, maybe surrounding a superstar offensive talent with the basketball equivalent of thrift shop dumpster diving isn't the best way to win.

 

[SLAB]

Rick Carlisle just lost the coaching matchup to Ty Lue. Time to move on, Dallas.

Room on the Atlanta Bus my friend. Lol

I’ll hop on for Trae. #Team2018

 

[sactowndog]

I’ll hop on for Trae.

Haha. Nah stay off you might jinx Bogi ;-)

They had them freaking dead in the water multiple times in the series and then took the foot off the gas and let Kawhi and the Clippers mow them down.

 

[Tetsujin]

The Kawhi-haters awfully quiet now.

Game 3 is the one of the worst I’ve seen. Luka was dominating, they were running away. And he benched Luka slightly passed halfway through the first. Get you can’t imagine what happened after that.

 

[SLAB]

The Kawhi-haters awfully quiet now.

“Roll Player” Kawhi Leonard? Lmao

 

[Tetsujin]

Kawhi going full shutdown mode right now.

 

[SLAB]

At least Boogie’s advancing. Small consolation prize.

 

[Tetsujin]

I don't know where he ranks among the all-time greats but if I need someone to flip a switch and turn into a stone-cold world destroyer in the postseason, Kawhi is on the shortlist.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Clippers still have Layoff P. Plenty of time for them to gag, yet.

If Lue has any sense, he'll fine anyone who doesn't give Kawhi the ball a bajillion dollars.

Big enough for me!

 

[Sluggah]

This went…south.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Not really ashamed to say that bitterness will have me rooting against the Mavs for years.

 

[Tetsujin]

Lue might want to, uhhh, not so subtly remind PG that Kawhi is on his team
