Bubble bout to fukk around and give us a nuggets/heat finals 
and yet I wouldn’t be mad

It doesn't work if you have a 7ft big that can shoot threes and pass which the Lakers and Denver have.
You cotdamn goofy.
The last five teams to make it out of the Western conference have had heavy small-ball lineups.
Y'all wanna see a dead body?
Look at all the generational talent
@Gil Scott-Heroin so now it’s Porzingis and Jokic who are more skilled than Embiid, Giannis and Ben Simmons
@Gil Scott-Heroin how did Nikola “better than Giannis” Jokic do against the Kings yesterday?
Be top 5 but get outplayed by Richaun Holmes.
“JOkiC is dA beSt offEnsIVe anChor in Da lEaGUe” - @Gil Scott-Heroin
Get outplayed by Alex Len on both sides of the floor and be unable to defend the paint
where’s his game winner tonight?
quiet as a cemetery in here
They told me he was top 5 and better than Giannis
Get that fat slob out of here
What makes Jokic so unique? If Sabonis was in the league during his prime, he would’ve been Jokic. Jokic cannot be your best player if you’re competing for a championship.
Only someone who views the game through statistics (like you) would think otherwise. As proven last playoffs, he CANNOT produce a basket when you most need one, whether passing or going to get one for himself.
@Gil Scott-Heroin with another monumental L. When Joker goes home tonight it’ll be 2
I can't see the Lakers defeating a healthy Clippers team in the postseason as of right now, the deciding difference is the bench. The consistency of Lou & Harrell for the second unit is too much. Clippers also have a legitimate 4 players to send at LeBron
“Team that’s played together for 5 games is only getting by with talent” @Gil Scott-Heroin
1. I don’t even think that’s accurate. The sets they’re running, especially for George have been great since he came back.
2. In this short stint they’ve beaten the Raptors, Mavs, and Celtics
3. They are in fact the most talented team in the league. So if they are only going off talent now....
The Nuggets won this series on the big bold.
Structurally, the Clippers haven't been all that great on offense; it's simply been Kawhi self-creating and the two-man game with Lou and Trez, which is fine during the regular season where they have a dominion of talent to wash teams out to sea, but not so much against teams that have a proper structure in the halfcourt, in a playoff series, especially with someone like Bron running the show.
Like I said, PG can mitigate some of these issues, but I have my doubts over whether it can be a full circle, particularly when they lack the shooting to bind it all together.
PG is their only real playmaker, and in typical Doc Rivers fashion, if he doesn't have a lead-playmaker to do all the work (or a great offensive assistant), his teams usually end up drowning on that end.
Utilizing side advantage
Greater discipline
Greater structure and halfcourt system
Dominating on the inside with Jokic
Forcing Clippers to take outside shots
Big man trump card = Jokic
Game slows down = advantage offensive anchor who can control the game (Bron = Jokic).
Clippers were going to be food for any team that had those advantages.

They win the series if he just cuts Harrell’s minutes alone.
I don't disagree that Doc played a pivotal part in their demise, but ultimately, they're a team full of one-dimensional offensive players, where contrast and balance are non-existent; too much overlay of the same skillsets with an absence of leadership and BBIQ. Lou Will is the closest thing they have to a leader, and yet he's been a chucker all his career, who's never really played a team-game. There's a reason why he's a 6th man.
The funny thing is, they probably would've beaten every other team, except for the Lakers. This series loss makes them look worse than they actually are. They just came up against an all-time big man, which was essentially their biggest weakness.
Styles make fights and all that.

Dame and CJ be talking too much from the sidelines for my liking tbh
Kendrick Perkins goin in on Paul George....
I mean, at the end of the day, they're doing the same shyt we're doing, but it does look funny given the context. Dame, especially, he be talking a whole lot, but this nxgga is always suffering embarrassing playoff exits. He more regular season than Harden is.Dame and CJ be talking too much from the sidelines for my liking tbh

They shouldnt talk about anyone who moved on further than them imo. Especially how Dame tapped out. And I like Dame. Dude is just too twitter fingers for a player who actually is in those same situations not advancingI mean, at the end of the day, they're doing the same shyt we're doing, but it does look funny given the context.
