What an embarrassment
 
Miami won’t win this series but they do have some good core pieces and because it’s Miami they will attract a great player when the time comes.

Some of these predictions. Bucks in Finals? Clippers should blow out Nuggets every game? Nuggets own the Clippers. In the first year Kawhi was on Clippers, Nuggets came back from 1-3 deficit to beat them in Game 7.

It was weird seeing Westbrook hitting a clutch shot and grabbing o-boards but he still did bad things like missing a layup he shouldn’t have been shooting. And missing a FT of course.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s games. I predict the unexpected.

What does kwahis first year with the Clippers have anything to do with this year against the nuggets?

Thought so. Nothing.
 
Everyone keeps talking about what Jimmy Butler brought to the Warriors. I think they also get quite a bit out of Hield.
 
Golden State just held the #2 seed to 34 points in the first half on their home court.
Defense wins championships and the Warriors have the best defense in the NBA.

crazy to think a team with its best player a liability on defense is the best defensive team in the league
 
Traveling not called
Out of bounds off Warriors called against Rockets
No T on Draymond for shove after foul
Oi vey
 
Houston's starting back court was 6-34 on FG's (17.6%) and 2-17 on three's (11.8%). That doesn't look like good shooting
 
The rockets don’t have a star. Sorry but I don’t call Amen a star and Sengun is really good but he’s not the kind of guy who’s gonna take over a series.The Warriors have two.

they are good, have been for years. To be accurate, they ranked 7th in the NBA in defense this season:

if you just flipped Portland and LAL, the top-15 defenses are all in the playoffs. Denver is the only outlier ranking 22nd

on the other hand, while 15 of the top-16 defenses are in the playoffs, 14 of the top 16 offenses are in the playoffs

the 2 outliers are Miami at 21, and Orlando at 27. Magic really need another Anfernee

basically, a team needs to be good on both ends of the floor
