Western Conference Playoffs, semifinals

[Joshoua]

The Clippers remembered they’re the best defensive team in the league and the Nuggets just couldn’t score enough to beat a sluggish LA offense.

Denver missed open shots I don’t know about the defense being there

But it was because of the missed open shots that the Clippers were able to just clamp down on Murray and Jokic, in other words the only two Nuggets capable of really creating shots down the stretch. If Jerami Grant hits a couple more shots, the Clippers would have probably had to switch their rotations as opposed to the blitzing approach they used down the stretch but that didn’t happen so...

Has anyone heard any of the playoff coaches saying anything along the lines of "will have to look at the tape to see what we could have done better/what went wrong"?

All I’m gonna say on that matter is that Doc Rivers certainly isn’t taking the ball out of his best players’ hands to give his defense-oriented role playing PG iso opportunities like we saw a certain coaching staff do during the bubble.

I'm gunna have to look at the tape to see if that's happened or not.

Hahaha, don't rub it in. We aren't saved from that potentially long term destruction yet.

McLemore really playing some solid D on Lebron.

Have to get this in before Lebron starts to abuse him.

 

[Tetsujin]

Playoff Rondo is apparently still a thing.

Kuzma somehow hurting Anthony Davis by pushing Covington into his elbow is probably the play that best summarizes his tenure for the Lakers this season

would've been his first points in two games

 

[Tetsujin]

Apparently Malone would be best served by not playing MPJ anytime after the third quarter.

 

[Tetsujin]

Joker just had a Boogie style frustration foul that served no point or purpose beyond having a minor temper tantrum on the court.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kawhi just has like three or four ridiculous defensive sequences that would make a normal human being get excited but since Kawhi is weird makes him look less entertained than usual.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kawhi has the midrange game everyone thought Kobe had.

 

[Tetsujin]

Jamal Murray with a really nice hesi to beat Paul George. Nuggets can still win this.

 

[Tetsujin]

MPJ out here trying to get Michael Malone fired.

I believe i've seen every playoff game of "The Claws" career, Spurs, Raptors, now Clips. He has a certain "it" factor in the playoffs to elevate his superstar talent, such high level both ends. Basically can be summed up as his silent killer instinct. Good luck LeBron, your going to need it.

Nuggets en fuego

At what point is that Morris guy gonna get suspended for his actions

 

[Joshoua]

And clippers have no shot next round with Doc’s love affair with Lou who’ll get eaten alive at the end of games

Westbrook is an absolute bum and I’m ashamed to have liked that dude. How’s he the only bitching and coming at fans in arenas literally the only player that does it, grow up man

I think he watched a lot of tape on Matty Barnes.... lol

I know numerous sports fans that have never considered Westbrook a winning type of player. No matter how gaudy his offensive stats appear.

I like him better than the traveling chucker in that regard, but only marginally.

HOU blew their chance in this weird bubble season. Cause I can’t see things getting easier with GSW and Brooklyn coming back to health. Same goes for the LA LeBron’s. If they don’t win it now, I don’t like their chances going forward.

Still think BOS and the Clips are better this year. Possibly even MIA.

I was probably one of the biggest Westbrook fans that all turned when he went on this constant attack on fans. Once even threatening to beat up a female
