Clippers trying to get swept

 

[DDolla]

Luka is better than Dame, Clippers throwing everything at him and can’t be stop

 

[OneSport3]

The difference in level of defense between us and LA/PHX is staggering.

 

[DDolla]

The Suns are done without a healthy Paul. Lakers in 5

 

[B-Roy]

The Clippers play like a more talented version of us. Terribly coached team. No discipline.

 

[BigGameDamian]

LeBron you should be in quarantine!

 

[DDolla]

Here comes the scary Lakers.

 

[MickZagger]

The Suns are done without a healthy Paul. Lakers in 5

Paul get hurt?

 

[DDolla]

Paul get hurt?

Shoulder last game and only played 20mins today

 

[wizenheimer]

Crowder or RoCo? Who you got?

Portland might have been able to have both...Crowder signed for the same MLE that DJJ signed for

 

[illmatic99]

Portland might have been able to have both...Crowder signed for the same MLE that DJJ signed for

it was widely reported that nearly every team was after crowder and Jae had his pick of teams. not unfathomable to think we offered but he went to PHX instead.

Dame is averaging NBA leading 38.0 ppg and 11.5 apg in playoffs.

Chris Paul can't guard Anthony Davis. They were done either way.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Clippers tanking cuz they don't like how they matchup with Memphis.

 

[wizenheimer]

as a Blazer fan, I have bias

but...as a basketball fan I like playoff series tied 1-1, and 2-2, and 3-3. Don't mind at all the Lakers winning tonight, although I hate to see CP3 hurt...again

 

[Haakzilla]

Luka is better than Dame, Clippers throwing everything at him and can’t be stop

...all they have to do is employ the "Hack-a-Luka" -- he is 2 for 7 from the stripe WTF

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Crazy if West 5th-8th seeds all advance to second round.

 

[DDolla]

Crazy if West 5th-8th seeds all advance to second round.

No team can beat the Lakers who is now on playoff mode

 

[DDolla]

Clippers LOL

 

[blazerkor]

No team can beat the Lakers who is now on playoff mode

Yeah, I've been saying that the Lakers have to be the favorite if they're healthy. I think this is a better constructed team than the one they had last season.

 

[B-Roy]

I’m so happy the Clippers are getting trounced.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Lakers fans, like @THE HCP , should be loving life right now. Lakers win and the Clippers look to go down 2-0.

 

[Haakzilla]

LOL, Luke just did the Dame Time bye bye wave after Tim Hardaway Jr hit the dagger 3 just now!

 

[brooklynballer]

Hmmm, must be nice having a coach who has no problem solving the “double-team the superstar” tactic. On two consecutive plays Luka got doubled and both times the Mavs got extremely high quality looks - one a bullet pass to Porzingis for a dunk after a quick pass out from Luka. The second a quick pass to the foul line area followed by an immediate pass back out to the three point line for a Hardaway Jr three. Such beautiful ball movement. Not gonna lie, I’m envious.

 

[DDolla]

Clippers load management and tanking now playing like crap lol

 

[DDolla]

Cmon Kawhi, go sign with us and help Dame

 

[wizenheimer]

Cmon Kawhi, go sign with us and help Dame

sure, he'll opt out of 36M next season and sign with Portland for the 6M tax-MLE

 

[KSF-ERIC]

When do Clippers stop tanking? This is four straight losses now.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Cmon Kawhi, go sign with us and help Dame

That would be awesome. Dame plus Kawhi is good team.

 

[DDolla]

sure, he'll opt out of 36M next season and sign with Portland for the 6M tax-MLE

Can Jody pay him 50M and pay all the taxes as well?
