Around the NBA - the 2020 Playoff Edition!

[Chris Craig]

A total blowout in that category

Yeah, I was surprised they never made it with Blake Griffin and Chris Paul

 

[AldoTrapani]

They’ve never played in the playoffs as duos, and Lillard>>>>Jokic and Murray in a real Game 7 in Denver last year.

So, what’s not close?

They were younger then. That was all bonus time for them. All experience.

 

[illmatic99]

here comes doc rivers with the bubble excuses

 

[Chris Craig]

Dumb question... if Paul George is available next season. Do you sign him or not?

No

 

[Chris Craig]

Doc Rivers fired in 3.2.1...

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Doc rivers is so overrated

 

[illmatic99]

they fucking sent lou to the podium.

paul george and kawhi leonard are jokes man. can't handle the smoke.

Kawhi is legit but this is a poorly put together team full of bad attitudes.

 

[BigGameDamian]

How many times does Mark Jackson need to remind people that Mike Malone was his lead assistant on the GSW? LoL

Maybe he's bagging for a coaching job?

 

[illmatic99]

Kawhi is legit but this is a poorly put together team full of bad attitudes.

he has no heart. all the talent in the world, but not a single leadership bone in his body

 

[blazerkor]

Jokic & Murray >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lillard & Nurkic in the Playoffs and it's not even close

I guess we'll see once Nurk gets into playing shape and has a full season under him. The fact is if you think that Jamal Murray is better than Dame right now, you're crazy. Just like if I think that Nurk is better than Jokic right now I'm crazy. People can talk about Murray all they want and they should, he's a really good player and might even make the all-star team for the first time next season but he's not even on Dame's level. He is the second option in that offense even when he's scoring more points than Jokic. Jokic draws so much attention that it really opens things up for Murray and good for Murray that he has been able to take advantage of that. So I guess you should jump on the Nuggets bandwagon and save us from your fair weather nonsense.

 

[illmatic99]

Credit to George for showing up to the podium now at least.

Where the fuck is kawhi

 

[wizenheimer]

Gotta be rooting for Denver here. Clips mortgaged their future for 2 years of George/Kawhi. If they can't win now, their window shuts quick.

OKC is sure rooting hard for the Clips to self-destruct, considering all those LAC draft picks they have. Already looks like Houston is on the verge of falling apart and OKC has some of their 1sts too

 

[blazerkor]

Playoff P in full effect in that series. Yikes.

 

[LayneStaley]

Paul George always has an excuse lol

 

[e_blazer]

Credit to George for showing up to the podium now at least.

Where the fuck is kawhi

With his agent negotiating for a trade to his next team.

lol hope it's portland.

hell, i'll take paul george too.

can't deny the talent.

 

[LayneStaley]

I’m gonna have to rethink some shit if Myers Leonard gets a ring his first year away from the Blazers.

Nah... NBA and the refs will give it to Lebron

 

[illmatic99]

kawhi was getting MJ comparisons last year.

what a fucking joke

 

[Pinwheel1]

Jokic is a great player. He truly makes his teammates better. (Although he still travels on a lot of plays)
Murray can shoot no doubt. But they will get beat the same way we did by the Lakers.

Paul George is still overrated. He is good, just not great. But he is not mentally tough IMO.
Not sure what happened to Kawai. I have never seen him shoot so bad.

I wanted the Clips to win because they had the best chance to beat the Lakers. But I do enjoy watching PG, Doc, and Beverly lose.
How good would Toronto be again this year with Kawhi?

Denver can beat the Lakers. Denver isn't losing 4-1

 

[Pinwheel1]

Denver can beat the Lakers. Denver isn't losing 4-1

OK maybe they can win 2 games. Maybe.

 

[blazerkor]

Denver can beat the Lakers. Denver isn't losing 4-1

All of that being said, you've got the Lakers beating the Nuggets right?

 

[wizenheimer]

LOL at the Clippers. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving group of guys

 

[Pinwheel1]

They lack a true leader. Toronto had leaders so Kawhi did not need to be. PG is definitely not one.

 

[DDolla]

Facts: Denver will demolish us next season until we sign or trade for some players that will help Dame.

 

[RoseCityRebel]

Pat Beverley needs to be gone from that team. Paul George isn’t a second on a title team, and when he was laughing at Dame with Beverley after the FTs it was obviously something you shouldn’t do as a real threat for a title.

Bob Whitsitt didn’t believe in chemistry, either.

 

[LayneStaley]

It’s time to consolidate everything for another star. You get 2 real stars and other serviceable players will come. I’d offer Nurk, Collins, CJ, Trent and 2 1s for Giannis.

I’d like to give Dame a real chance.

 

[Cugel]

Lou was MIA all series. That has nothing to do with chemistry it's about making layins.
