Western Conference Playoffs, Round 1

[Tetsujin]

Except Dallas is actually a threat, GSW was never threatens in that series

Nah, so much of this series has been selfinflicted on the Clippers part. They’re clearly the more talent team. Paul George is just in the middle of an epic meltdown and largely anyone aside from Kawhi has been absent for different parts of the series.

 

[Joshoua]

Luka, Barkley, and Oscar are the only players to put up the numbers Luka did today

 

[Tetsujin]

over the best iso defender in the league wasn’t good enough for you?

Oh never mind that was Reggie Jackson.

Same time if Porzingis isn’t kicked out dallas is up 3-1

And of those three players only one guy won and ring and he only did it as Kareem’s wingman, which is totally a random trivia fact more than an indicator of anything really.

Not quite sure because as I’ve said, honestly feels like the Mavs are so much better with Zinger off the floor.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

LOL at Shaq being loud and wrong, with, "I seen that before," about something that's literally only happened two other times, and the first time happened before he was born.

I respect the petty, though.

I missed the Dallas game today. Wish I didn’t!

When Luka is out having Porzingis out there is big and Boban needs more minutes

Not when Burke is randomly playing like a star lol

Another number; 21

Wow. We’re watching a legend.

 

[captain bill]

The days of players changing franchises affecting their legacy are in the past. No one cared when Lebron won his first two ships in Miami before moving back for the one in Cleveland or when Kawhi won one in Toronto after leaving Pop just like no one will care when Luka leaves Dallas for the Lakers in seven or when Dame eventually gets his ring playing for a more functional franchise than the Blazers.

To add to that the circumstances are completely opposite of what would tarnish him... he was a finals MVP in SA and got traded to Toronto as a 1 year rental. He has every right to want to move after that, are we really penalizing a players legacy for winning a ring as heavy lol...

Besides he’s not ring chasing he just wanted to move back to LA after pretty much reaching the pinnacle of the game

 

[Kings_of_California]

Yea Kawhi won a ring in two different countries, the second time beating a seemingly unstoppable juggernaut of a GSW team. Also winning finals MVP both times. He's set.

He was also the one person capable of stopping peak LeBron.

Lol juggernaut stop it KD didn’t play that series it was gift wrapped to them. Kawhi won’t be talked about in 15 years as a great player of sorts dude load manages and played with all time stacked teams at every stop

You didn’t miss much. Unless you’re a Luka fan...oh wait

 

[Tetsujin]

The more I watch the last play, the more it looks like Reggie Jackson switching onto Luka was intentional which is, uh, bad coaching. That scheme makes sense when it’s Beverly out there but Reggie Jackson is uh not a great defender. Also you have Kawhi so what are you overthinking things for.

In hindsight, if the refs don't act like this is the cub scouts in game 1, Mavs are up 3-1.

 

[TTown Kings]

Egad.

43 point triple double. And the game winner.

****ing Boss.

This can’t be a real quote

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Damn, Jokic just told Gobert to "GET BIG!"

 

[captain bill]

And of those three players only one guy won and ring and he only did it as Kareem’s wingman, which is totally a random trivia fact more than an indicator of anything really.

OTOH you could say that players with that stat line have a 50% championship rate. Which is also a nothingburger factoid

 

[Joshoua]

When is Westbrook back

 

[kingsboi]

how good has Mitchell been in this first round. two 50 point games. Mike Malone may be out of a job if the Nuggets are eliminated.

I'm all in for Malone but the Boogie train has long left the station I'm afraid.
