What are you worried about being out the bubble for? You aren’t thereYou guys are so miserable and unbearable its comical. Meanwhile I'm chillin' and we might be out of the bubble come Tuesday night. Go grab a drink or a puff and enjoy your first WCF appearance in ten years for crying out loud
La has the most cockiest and loud guys on their roster even though they’ve never won anything

Last point concerning Clips, Kawhi specifically, then I'm done until Tuesday...
1. I've mentioned this before, recently qnd further back, but its finally time to dead this narrative that he's the same defender he was when he won those DPOYs in '15 and '16. Far too often you turn around and this nikka can't stay in front of his man, dudes just flying by him to the rim, or he getting splashed on. These things occur rather frequently...
Obviously he still an above average man defender and can turn it on to an elite level in spots, but defensively he is living more off reputation. The drop off isn't surprising given the increased offensive responsibility in recent years, we just gotta start calling it how it is instead of fictionalizing who he is now to fit a certain image...
2. To that point, I've mentioned this before too, and it isnt just about this game or this series or this postseason, there's a pattern here. If his jumper isn't falling, how consistently is he impacting the game for a W? When the entire unit is defensively locked in, he can look like the best defender on the court. He's clearly an above average rebounder on both ends...
But I'm talking about, when his team isn't defensively locked in, when his j isn't dropping, his ability to impact the game is muted. He can't take over in any other fashion besides scoring, take that away from him and add a team that is prone to consistent defensive lapses and blowing leads, you can lose him on the floor; he'll you cam let him score like he did in G5 and what else exactly is he doing that commandeers a W on some blackout mode shyt? Dude gets a fair amount of "quiet" 30-point games...
So let's stop the angle that family has no weaknesses...
I'm done until G7, none of this changes that I'm still a fan of Kawhi. Let's just keep it consistent and honest on dude...
Bruh what are you talking about? Don't confuse sports banter with being miserable, I like talking about the shyt the same way you do and presumably everyone else who actively posts here...
Yall nikkas only pull this card when someone doesn't have the same view or rooting interest you got...
My life doesn't live or die with what my rooting interests do or don't do. I'm simply a fan who likes chopping it up anout the shyt, nothing more to read into it...

That Denver Miami final
U know how much pressure is on Doc, Peggy, & Abortion P?Well the Nuggets were playing carefree with nothing to lose for the last two games but there's nothing carefree in a game 7 so lets see how they play when the pressure will be on them as well
These dudes best not lose or it’s going to go down as one of the biggest choke jobs in nba history
that’s pressure lol
You got a hundred or so of these same copy and paste posts on the Clipps.

Are you really suggesting there’s no pressure when you’re facing an elimination game? They’ve survived 5 elimination games.Well the Nuggets were playing carefree with nothing to lose for the last two games but there's nothing carefree in a game 7 so lets see how they play when the pressure will be on them as well
Fair enough. The team is choking no doubt but I wish we could've played against a team playing dwarf ball and gotten a league stimulus package by throwing our opponent in a bubble controversy
They made the claim that they've played carefree with nothing to lose these last two games which is facts but all I'm saying they won't be carefree in a game 7 or all this work they've done to tie the series up goes for naught. Game 7's aren't carefree
regardless of who wins both teams have had their feet to the fire and it will help them against the Lakers. The Lakers have not yet been tested and have had an easy road in the playoffs.
People really still talking about Darnell House.Fair enough. The team is choking no doubt but I wish we could've played against a team playing dwarf ball and gotten a league stimulus package by throwing our opponent in a bubble controversy
I'm old enough to remember when the Clips were rooting for the Blazers to make the 8 seed because they thought they could beat the Lakers.

This is what I was saying earlier. Lakers have been cruising where as both the Clippers and Nuggets are battle tested. Next series gonna be a thriller

I still don’t get the difference. Game 7 is an elimination game just like Games 5 and 6 were for the Nuggets. If they played a certain kind of way in the past two elimination games in this series why couldn’t they play that way in a third?
The only thing that’s different is that the Clippers are now also facing elimination. For the first time this postseason. Pressure will be on them. They’re the favorites. It’ll be a good test for them. We’ll see how they respond.
