Well, time to get this going, I guess.

The Clippers have no individual defender capable of stopping Joker but on the other hand, they have Kawhi with playoff mode activated and the Nuggets are so bad at defense that it sort of feels like Lou Williams dropping a fifty-burger during the series is inevitable.
i do t know if Joker is a dominant enough scorer though

Not a huge paul george fan but I absolutely love the Playoff P nickname
lebron plays in the regular season kawhi saves himself he’ll imagine harden not having to carry his teams and saving himself for the playoffs. Kawhi has become overrated with his load management and him playing on stacked teams with great management, just look at Toronto after he left.
And we talked about Murray cause his performance came out of nowhere
Still wondering why we are pinning our franchise hopes on a PG that isn't a good outside threat and a big that is neither a good defender nor a good outside shooter.
Almost every team in the playoffs has such good spacing; on a kickout the shooter just has to pump fake and drive and the lane is wide open. Either we had such crappy shooters or Luke Walton is just not very good at coaching.
I actually thought for a moment that Walton was no longer our coach, but then reality hit me.

That entire game could best be summarized by Bev randomly deciding to get ejected with a minute left in the game, the Clippers somehow still having a conceivable shot despite being down double digits after all the penalty shots and then Paul George promptly dribbling the ball off his thigh
he won’t make it though but guys who haven’t played defense in years will

The game is so broken, lol. There is almost nothing you can do on draw and kick shooters who can drive from the 3 point line. I don't think Reggie Miller would avg. 45 a game now as he thinks but someone like him would definitely see a 10-15 ppg increase.
The only thing you can do is ... score more than them.

He and Kevin Martin would both absolutely destroy teams in this era of no defense and pace.
