nba playoffs aka the 'offs (which includes the 'ins) 2021

Luka sloppy

he’s hitting some crazy 3s tho

that ayton up and under off end dribble was really nasty dang

Yah he’s playing so well

CP :-(

it’s really beyond parody

Suns hangin around they need to win this game badly

i do like what i've seen from ayton. i feel bad, i eyerolled the idea that the suns needed a deadline move but they need another center to hold things down while ayton rests.

Ya can’t believe they didn’t pick up a backup center

fun game imo

cam payne is a trash talker huh

Love it

Weird seeing lebron be… not that good

(He’ll prob hit the game winner anyway or something)

luka is going the hell off

Whyyyy did they put these games at the same time

it's fucked up!

lebron james and anthony davis with some “lebron james and anthony davis are not losing to the suns in the first round” shots here at the end

Yup

Lebron still couldn’t back down cam Johnson tho

payne has had a great game but without cp3 out there booker can’t get anything going in crunch time they’re basically double teaming him at the arc and funneling him directly into brow

bron clearly has no explosion. alas his one footed fadeaway jumper is dripping wet tonight

also his two footed jumper

Right on cue

mavs were up 13 and tim hardaway jr missed two FTs, next possession morris hits a 3. 10 point game instead of 15, now down to 5

it’s funny to watch pat bev try and do pat bev things to luka. he just has no shot

tim hardaway jr is better than any role player on the mavs and it’s not even close

i mean the clippers. but also the mavs

lol clippers

Luka took turns cooking everyone but I can’t figure out why they keep going back to bev on him.

What’s up with ibaka? Dude had some like nothing injury that kept him out for like two months and is still not available?

Luka took turns cooking everyone but I can’t figure out why they keep going back to bev on him.

Even with the game on the line, the Mavericks are getting one easy look after another. Tim Hardaway just got a practice 3-pointer with 90 seconds to go.

Yah he was wide open so much

Ty lue gonna get fired?

i really don’t understand what the clippers think they’re doing. the whole point of trading away your entire future for kawhi and paul george was to have two of the best 2 way wing players in the league, and then in the playoffs when luka is lighting your house on fire and pouring gasoline everywhere you’re just like “oh yeah we’ll switch pat bev onto you no big deal at all. in fact we’d LOVE to have our 6’1 point guard be repeatedly destroyed by a 6’7 all star ball handler.” like, the mavs didn’t even need to try and set the pick, the clippers were rolling out the red carpet for pat bev to get that match up with even the hint of a screen

Yah that’s on kawhi dying on the picks and not fighting through, happened last year too

I love that the clippers tanked for this

Kcp is chalmers

it's also on kawhi and PG on a larger level. it doesn't matter what defense ty lue was calling, if either of them wanted the luka assignment they could tell ty lue to throw his defense in the trash bcuz they want the responsibility of locking him down. those two guys have more equity in that organization than any coach, GM etc. david blatt called a play for kyrie and lebron was like "yeah we're not running that play but thanks" and hit a game winner. the defining feature of the PG/kawhi clippers has been an expectation that they would win just by showing up w/o any indication that they care enough to really dig deep and actually make it happen & it hasn't changed in this series

btw the clippers put up 48 points in the second half... third leading scorer in the game was reggie jackson w/ 15 points. marcus morris 9 points, pat bev 3 points, zubac 2 points, ibaka 2 points, rondo 4 points. terrance man 8 points. luke kennard the most over achieving player in the NBA w/ another DNP-CD reclining very easily on that $40 million contract. their roster is just kind of a disaster

Clippers bigs in this series:

Ibaka +17
Zubac -31
Morris -35

Minutes played this series:

Ibaka: 17
Zubac: 40
Morris: 56

by my math paul george's teams are have 10 wins in 23 playoff games since he started calling himself "playoff p"

oh sorry, 10 in 25, throwing in 0-2 vs the mavs this year

playoff pee

the marcus morris contract from this offseason was nutso

playoff pee

playoff poo

lolclippers never change

if the clippers don't do it this year they are so incredibly fucked as a franchise yikes

kinda looks like theyre losing to the mavs here lol oh well fuck a superteam anyway

Paul George as a key piece of a superteam is a highly dubious proposition at this point
