Damn Luka is a monster LOL. There's some supposed defensive juggernauts on Clips, wtf happened?

Is Nephew regressing??

He got paid

Pussy Clippers tanked to get Mavs and to avoid Fakers and not working out end game 1 so far.

I was counting on those Clippers just in case the Suns would rise.

I've said all year that the Jazz are frauds and they will get exposed in the postseason, but unfortunately the Grizzlies don't have the talent to expose them. Jazz vs Grizzlies is the only matchup where I see sweep potential.

Utah has a legit defense though unlike the rest of the league.

[Arcadian]

Why is anyone skeptical about the Suns? They have a young all-star guard, a young all-star center, and a veteran future HoF captain hungry for his first ring. And they were basically tied for the best team in regular season. Meanwhile, the Lakers aren't shit. Lebron is borderline washed up, Davis is a glorified Amare Stoudemire, and last year they won a pandemic championship. Fuck out of here.

With that said, I still expect a long series and could go 7.

Because they're young and the MSM sucks off the LA Losers/Lebitch 24/7

[Mr. Body]

Lakers have some of the worst role-players I've seen on a contender. Davis is incredibly soft physically and worse mentally. All they really have is LeBron and he's resorting to cheap stuff to get calls because the team just isn't very good. They're entitled and have no hunger.

[Bynumite]

This is the Lakers trademark game 1 loss. Non-issue.

They also lost game 1 in the 1st and 2nd rounds last season.

They could still win the series but they give me '06 Piston vibes with their sense of entitlement. That Pistons team felt they could get down in any series and comeback based on the past success which caused them to have complacency and in return it result in their downfall. You can have have confidence or even arrogance but when you don't have a sense of urgency that's when you get yourself in trouble. I didn't see any urgency out of the Lakers in this game. If they don't have it in game 2 then they are losing this series.

Does not look good after today. This is what happens when you let Rondo and Howard walk away and give money to Kuzma. It's damn near criminal.

I'll never understand it if I live to be a 100.

Christ, the problem with the Suns is; they're being serious while most other teams are cashing checks waiting for the NBA to settle down back to the regular way. And there is nobody in the East that could stop the Suns.

I thought the Clippers would stand in if need be but they're incapable, GD it.

The kicker? It won't be just one if the Suns prevail, they'll be an instant power with sustainability.

And the second kicker: Rondo comes available late and we let him go across the hall.

Just a nightmare that could get very serious.

Because they had great role players and invested in Kuzma instead of Howard and Rondo. A gd shame, but you weren't going stop them for money, marbles nor chalk.

And you're right; James ain't in the mood. He wants to get on with his social nonsense, has the ring from last season to sustain him, so, he's sated.

Have to hope Dallas can put a stopper in the bottle.

They would have to draft a Kawhi Leonard level talent to go with Mitchell. That's the only the Jazz could win it all. Pretending that players like Bogdanovic, Conley, and Clarkson are main option level players when obviously they aren't (especially Clarkson and Conley) just won't do.

Lakers have poor role-players, it's just that no good teams exist to really put them in the spin cycle. Caruso should be a spot bench guy. Imagine him getting wrecked by an actual team in the last thirty years.

He took too long which allowed Davis to come in and block it. He should have immediately gone up with the shot.

Ayton's a weak, soft player who looked like a god because AD was asleep in game one. He's not that good.

Nah. Not true.

[Bynumite]

Shooting was putrid as usual but watching the Lakers putting the clamps on the Suns in the final minutes was a thing of beauty tbh.

If only one of these scrub role players stepped up and started making some 3's. This team would be pretty hard to beat.

[daslicer]

Nah. Not true.

They are too young to take out the Lakers. They are inexperienced and it showed in this game. They started losing their cool towards the end with Payne knocking down Davis and then Crowder taking cheap shots against Davis. That's not a team ready to win. You need poise, experience, and mental toughness to beat the Lakers. They don't have any of those 3 and also Chris Paul is injured like usual.

This series will be like the '18 playoffs when Lebron took out the Celtics and Pacers with a crappy Cavs team. It will go 6-7 games but the Lakers will prevail in the end. I hope the Suns prove me wrong but I have seen this story before where a young team pushes Lebron hard but they can't step on his neck. Suns had plenty of opportunities to step on his neck tonight in the fourth but fell apart.

I didn't think they'd win in the first place, but they can still definitely do it. These Lakers are pretty weak. I think it matters on whether they fall asleep again. I suppose you may be right.

Lakers are pretty weak but Lebron always has a psychological edge on young and inexperienced teams. It drives me nuts but these young teams always wilt under pressure against Lebron. They start panicking and falling apart. A veteran team would have put these Lakers out in the fourth quarter once they took the lead instead of playing scared. There were quite a few ridiculous plays the Suns made on the offensive end in the final 3-4 minutes that told me they weren't ready. One that sticks out to me was Ayton having the ball in the post against scrub Caruso and hesitating to post him up and then when he finally did Davis came in there to swat him. A veteran a player like a Duncan would have immediately gone to work in that situation without taking forever to make a decision.

Unfortunately in the West I would say Clippers are the only team Lebron doesn't have a psychological advantage over since Kawhi doesn't fear him and he knows it.

[Bynumite]

Like i said after game 1. That was the Lakers feel out game 1 loss. Series is pretty much over now. Especially with a hobbled CP3.

[Arcadian]

The Clippers just don't have enough scoring outside Kawhi and George.

[MultiTroll]

Clippers what perplexing soft D after they had scored to close it to 120-116 with about a minute to go.

They go into a phucking Zone prevent defense and let the Mavs milk the shot clock to 5 seconds and chuck up a wide open 3. Fucks sake.

Tyrone Lue no better then Coc Rivers.

Suns are a young team they would have been fine if they didn't have to deal with the Lakers in the first round. They got screwed in that regard. They will be a good team for years to come as long as Booker,Ayton stay healthy. Portland on the other and like you said doesn't have the talent to beat the Lakers. The Jazz are a soft team mentally with Gobert. Nuggets got screwed with Murray being out so they don't have enough talent to win. Lakers will come out of the West but will lose to the Nets in the finals.

The Suns do have mental toughness and veteran leadership. Unfortunately, his name is Chris Paul and he was sitting on the bench. That will be the deciding factor in the series. If he can't get healthy, they can't knock out the Lakers.

Suns got an unfortunate break with Chris getting hurt. On the other hand Chris is made out of glass and he tends to always break down during the playoffs. To me he's a very frustrating player when it comes to health. If he didn't get hurt in that collision in game 1 it could have been some other random injury that would have taken him out knowing how brittle he is. With that being said I hope he gets healthy and the Suns can somehow pull off the upset.

This is exactly Ty Lue's plan, based on his post game comments.

[Mark Celibate]

Clippers have such a high-school f@gginess aura about them. I thought maybe they would learn after getting clowned about overly celebrating in the middle of a play (Kawhi's dunk on Kleber), but once again Kawhi makes a nice move on Porzingis and some Clipper has to go over to Porzingis and do the stanky leg/hit the 'booty do' to make sure he knows what's up. I said this in the NFL Forum awhile ago, how some players prioritize making it big on TikTok over winning the actual game, and it seems like the Clippers are falling in that boat.

Next time Kawhi makes a big play, I wouldn't be surprised if two of his teammates ran up to him and took a selfie while the Mavs go the other way and get an easy basket. Bunch of losers IMO

[lefty]

nah man, Craig Ehlo would have stopped him.

I never believed in the Jazz or the Sun's and always they were frauds. On the Jazz it's Donovan Mitchell and guys and on the Suns it's Devin Booker, Chris Paul (who still has something left in the tank but shouldn't be your 2nd guy) and guys. Zero big time stars next to Mitchell and Booker (who are both tier 2 players themselves). Just guys. Neither team has a championship level roster. I think the Jazz with a healthy Donovan Mitchell can win this series with the Grizzlies, but they're in trouble in the next round.

Yep. Woke up at 5:50AM and tuned it in for the start at 6AM sharp. Hope I'm still listening Friday morning.

Congrats to the knicks for fighting back. Still, both of these teams arent that good and 76ers should sweep them with no problem.

Feel good for the Knicks fans. They deserve a good team. They're a faithful base and aren't assholes like Yankee fans. Randle needs to get himself straight to have a chance in this series.

thj and maxi were constantly lost on defensive rotations

if they fix those defensive rotations up and find some way to get some offensive value out of KP, it's Dallas series to lose. but it's hard to have much confidence in KP, and maxi is one of the worst IQ players on the team so idk what to expect going forward

I personally think playing more cauley-stein might be the solution, the defense is just so much better when he's in there, allows Dorian and maxi to play much more aggressively on Kawhi and PG, instead of playing at their mercy.

[Texas_Ranger]

I am pretty sure kawhi and george will have good games. I cant say the same for zingis pingis. The only chance the mavs have is if Hardaway plays like an all star and i dont see that happening. I think it will be over in 6. And then as soon as the season is over, the mavs need to trade the real pandemic P, cause Luka will wanna be traded himself if he has to watch that loser next to him.

Klebber is just not very good, and Kawhi just owns him. He doesn't have the length of strength to even bother Kawhi, and he doesn't produce nearly enough offense to overcome his awful defense

And I agree, more Cauley-Stein will help for the sake of the defense alone. It's been a weird series with flukey shooting on both sides, and I have no idea how it'll go, but probability is on Dallas' side

to be fair, he was actually looking pretty solid late last year and into the playoffs. underachieving still for sure due to his lack of offensive aggression, but at least was still pretty adequate defensively, and could actually hit shots over small guys. since blowing out his knee he moves defensively like dirk circa 2016, and cant even hit that turnaround on small guards anymore, he looks so stiff and uncomfortable.

i feel that was about as good of a game they can play, the only reason it wasnt a blowout was because luka and brunson played so well

if KP can manage to have just ONE good game (and the supporting cast doesnt completely suck), the mavs probably win the series

Kawhi having his was with the Mavs is nothing fluky, he manhandled them last year for 6 straight games. George is doing what he should be doing while being guarded 1-on-1 & he's actually shooting 25% from 3 despite being a 40% shooter. As far as Morris/Reggie Jackson, they were two of the best three point shooters for the ENTIRE season & shot a combined 7/15 which is actually below their expected efficiency on catch-shoot 3s. Other than that, the Clipper as a team matched their league leading three point shooter percentage for ONE game.

Meanwhile, the Mavs are shooting an absurd 50% from 3 for the ENTIRE series after being middle-of-the-pack the entire season. If both teams were actually hitting 3s at their regular season clip then the series would have been 3-0 Clippers.:lol

well considering the mavs have been getting wide open 3s basically all game every game (until the 2nd half last night), i think it would be pretty pathetic to not shoot 50% when that wide open on a consistent basis. clips havent been getting nearly as wide open of shots as the mavs have been, largely because luka knows how to manipulate the defense to create for others, kawhi doesnt. theres a reason the clippers offense runs so much better when rondo is in the game.

[Kawhitstorm]

Klebber is just not very good, and Kawhi just owns him. He doesn't have the length of strength to even bother Kawhi, and he doesn't produce nearly enough offense to overcome his awful defense

Agree with this analysis, Mavs are shooting out of their minds from 3 while the Clippers have been subpar for a team that led the league in 3P% by a good margin. Morris (aka the 3rd wheel) has basically has shown up for a quarter in the entire series, Ibaka has only played 15 minutes & the rest of the Clippers role players not named Rondo have been in the mediocre-to-horrific range. Remember this series when the eventual champs were getting cooked by :lolMonta Ellis:lol: https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201404260DAL.html

funny how this faggot has nothing to say when kawhi is being a vagina and "resting" all year as his team underachieves, then gets raped horribly to the point that he refuses to guard luka and immediately switches off on picks every chance he gets in order to avoid getting more embarrassed than he already has in the times he does guard him, just to hold onto his "lockdown defender" reputation while letting his teammates get embarrassed off the court to the point they cant even get playing time.

but the moment the clippers wins a game despite kawhi having a near perfect game still gets raped and outplayed by luka, he reappears :rollin

[lefty]

Doncic at the FT line :lol

[spurs10]

Mavs needed one of these. Porzingis played like crap in game 3, after his strip club visit and $50k fine.

Kawhi is ruthlessly efficient.

this _Allas team reminds me of the _on Nelson Mavericks from the early 00's (did anyone get what I just did ? :lmao I took the 'D' out of both Dallas and Don because of the lack of defense! :lmao). They can score points all day, but they have nobody who can keep anyone in front of them and zero rim protection. This series is making me realize that they need more than just a third option

This is a direct result of the new 3pt shooting 7 footer.

:lol Fluka

Dude is real deal. He has a neck injury and tried to play though it, didn't go so well. Their shooting % dropped. It's funny how the entire team has a good shooting night then a bad one. Makes you wonder how much alcohol was consumed last night.

[Neo.]

absolutely no movement on offense by dallas, it was pathetic

camping at the 3 worked when the clips kept sending help defense at luka, but ever since they started staying at home on defense, or sending straight doubles, there has been no motion, no pindowns or anything to get open shots/layups

that has to change for dallas to even have a chance

They are who we thought they were.

They need to figure how how to get tougher and how to attain a legit #2. So they are actually further from contention than we think.

They got the hardest part down in having a true superstar. Just gotta make sure to lock him up long term.

[Rummpd]

Compare Lakers in this series with him and without him.

Great player but a loser and non leader at the core

This season Fakers pretty good record without AD (who did not show up game one) but without James under 0.500. Per norm AD cannot carry a team just a skilled sidekick.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

AD is made of tissue paper. Good lord he gets hurt a lot. I don’t know that I’ve ever watched him play where he’s not grimacing in pain at some point, or headed to the locker room for treatment only to be fine 10 minutes later.

Got that 17th outta him, by God.
