OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD -May 2021

[KSF-ERIC]

Carlisle hasn’t been out of the first round in 9 year!

Can’t win without Stotts.

 

[crandc]

Other things being equal I root for underdog but can't cheer anything Florida, except maybe Val Deming's. Even their oranges are inferior to California's.

Good games so far. Need to shut off for a bit so I can do workout.

 

[OneSport3]

Looks like Playoff P is back…

 

[DDolla]

Why is that Staples Center has vaccination site and MODA don’t?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

They just said Clippers consider Batum to be their MVP lol

 

[Chris Craig]

Clippers are weak

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Clippers tanking so they don’t have to face Utah/Grizz.

 

[crandc]

Damn, people here feared the Clippers?

 

[DDolla]

Looks like Kawhi and the Clippers need more help

 

[DDolla]

Damn, people here feared the Clippers?

Well they can shut out Dame but not Luka

 

[Hoopguru]

Ballmer has to be pissed as hell!
2 billion - new arena - super stars

 

[Chris Craig]

Clippers continue to choke in the playoffs

 

[PCmor7]

Looks like Playoff P is back…

And Kawhi's caught whatever he has.

 

[PCmor7]

Clippers tanking so they don’t have to face Utah/Grizz.

Looking for a better pick to get help for Kawhi and Paul George.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Looking for a better pick to get help for Kawhi and Paul George.

Can’t get a better pick by tanking in playoffs. Clippers tanking for Cancun.

 

[DDolla]

Luka controls the game even when not scoring. Difference between him and Dame as Luka is a better passer.

 

[Labinot41]

You guys think we would have won against the Clippers?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Well they can shut out Dame but not Luka

They held Luka to 1 fourth quarter point but Mavs have Brunson like we have CJ to carry the torch.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

You guys think we would have won against the Clippers?

Yes

 

[Chris Craig]

You guys think we would have won against the Clippers?

Yes. Blazers are better than Dallas

 

[Natebishop3]

Yes. Blazers are better than Dallas

Luke is harder to stop than Dame.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Luke is harder to stop than Dame.

When Clips trapped Luka in 4th, Luka couldn’t score. Dame is better offensive player than Luka.

 

[DDolla]

You guys think we would have won against the Clippers?

NO, shut down Dame and let CJ just do one on one will not beat the Clippers. Luka gets his teammates to score easily.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

NO, shut down Dame and let CJ just do one on one will not beat the Clippers. Luka gets his teammates to score easily.

Doesn't matter. Clippers will be out of playoffs soon.

 

[PCmor7]

Can’t get a better pick by tanking in playoffs. Clippers tanking for Cancun.

Twas a joke ....

 

[KSF-ERIC]

My heart says Celtics in 6 but my head says Celtics in 4. Defense matters.

Luka controls the game even when not scoring. Difference between him and Dame as Luka is a better passer.

I’d be interested in seeing the Mavs record when Luka isn’t scoring. I’d imagine he doesn’t control the game as well as you believe.

And the difference between Luka and Dame is that Dame gets trapped at half court and forced to give the ball up because he can shoot from there. Teams are much more desperate to get the ball out of his hands early in the clock vs. Luka.

 

[JoshuaHall]

Luke is harder to stop than Dame.

lol

 

[Fairly-Hard]

How many T's does Luka have? Does the total carry over to the playoffs? If so how long do you think it will be before the Clippers try to bait him into a Tech?

 

[DDolla]

Looks like the next two games will be a blowout
