No Love, No Lackin - Bulls vs Cavs Semi-ECFs Thread

[Malta]

They have anyone to guard Harden, they didn't have anyone to guard Kawhi.

That stuff will work itself out.

And Cleveland can't come close to guarding the clippers.



What fire power? Kawhi was awful outside of 1 game.

1 game? Kawhi averaged 20ppg on 48%, if he could do that to them what do you think LeBron could do?


As for what firepower, the Clippers are not very good on the perimeter, if you have 1 guy they can key in on him but the Cavs have 3 guys that could get you 20 pts from the wing, with 2 of them being capable of going into the 30-40 pts range. Kawhi/Harden didn't have anyone close to Kyrie playing next to them, shyt JR Smith would be the next best wing player next to them on those teams

The Cavs would do a better job of defending the Clippers than vice versa.

I'd pick LA in that series.

They don't have the athletes to defend HOU perimeter guys either and they're doing just fine. Doc also knows Bron's game to the tee. CLE wouldn't beat the Clippers if that series happens

The Rockets don't have any secondary scorers on the level of Kyrie.


And I'd give the Bulls the same advantage over the Clippers, two wing guys that can score will really give them trouble.

The Clippers already knocked out the Spurs.

They are embarrassing the Rockets who have a better squad than CLE.

Blake Griffin is just as much of a match up problem as Bron is... And they have CP3 and Doc.

fukk it...I'm ready to add Austin Rivers to potential players to stan

Well its playoffs so harden is going to disappear. We all knew this was gonna happen. And kawhi isn't the offensive juggernaut that lebron is.

The Spurs had the corpse of Tony Parker out there, and Manu looked like shyt for the most part. They effectively had 1 wing player in Kawhi that could score, and Mills could as well but they didn't play him enough. If they gave Patty more minutes they would have won that series, the Clippers straight up could not stop him.


If you have two perimeter guys that can score you're going to be a major threat to the Clippers because they have no where to hide their weak perimeter defense. Look at what Russ and KD did to them last year, and statistically last years Clipper team had an even better defense than this years.

The Bulls and Cavs are not good matchups for the Clippers, too much wing scoring, too much pressure on their defense and not enough perimeter defenders capable of plugging all the leaks. That's also why I'd take the Grizz over the Cavs and Bulls, they have the PG that can defend, in addition to a gang of wing defenders and elite interior defense.

 

[GoldenGlove]

You come off as a casual fan that hasn't been paying attention to the Clippers so far this post season

 

[torcher]

Why doesnt Doc just out in Spence rite now?

 

[HearNoEvil]

55 to 19? That's damn near a 3 times ratio.

Clippers are definitely balling but to say a team with lebron has no shot to win is ridiculous. Especially when that team has nobody to guard him in an iso (like Jimmy or Kawhi)

I'm not saying the Cavs will win but thats easily a 7 game series.

So you're saying that Mike Conley is "the PG who can defend", not Chris Paul?

GTFO.
