Leonard should have stayed on Raps. Raps would have beat Celts and they'd be playing Heat.
So much for the Leonard/George super team.

I have to admit I've always hated the Clippers, but I actually liked and believed in this team. Without question the #1 player I do hate is Pat Bev without question. Not a single player I'm more happy for than him. Great competitor but not half as talented as he thinks he is.

Leonard was great on Raps, but the team is good enough to lose a close series to Celts, and actually have a better winning % than last year with Leonard.
Leonard put Raps over the top last year, but he wasn't a player who changed a team from let's say a 32-50 record to 50-32. What he provided Raps is scoring and driving the net drawing fouls. The rest of the team did the rest.

He definitely isn't. The guy misses 10-20 games every year including one season he missed almost the whole thing.

Man I regret not watching now. I assumed the Clippers would win off the back of Kawhi.
5 first round picks.

The only person I'm also very happy for this is Paul, dude was a life time Lakers fan who fought to get out of Indiana only to spurn his favorite team for the LA team NOBODY LIKES and now you're stuck in purgatory watching LeBron who could've carried you now looking to take your chip.

Nuggets looked like this in large part because jobbers named Ivan Zubac and Montrezl Harrell were asked to guard Joker.
Anthony Davis has that job now. Jokers coming back down to earth, no question.

I don't follow basketball enough to know Jamal Murray but I checked his stats. His playoff stats are about 8 pts more per game, his shooting % has jumped and he's launching 3's at around a 50% clip. Crazy.

I've gained so much respect for Jamal Murray.
Lakers better double him up every time he touches the ball, my god.

Too bad he'll face Lebron though

I've been too busy watching hockey playoffs. When the Lakers/Nugs series starts I'm going to flip back and forth. I wanna see the guy in action. I've been just checking boxscores for games except Raps which I watched. All I've been seeing is Murray and Jokic in crazy game highlights.

Kawhi came up short like no other. Entire Clippers team meltdown. It was bad, Playoff P playing like a scrub entire 2nd half

So now what? I felt this year was the Clippers’ best shot at a title. They essentially have just next season before Leonard and George hit free agency. Unless they win a championship, I don’t think they keep either of those guys.

Warriors are coming back, Nets are going to slaughter and the usual gatekeepers. Next year will be a difficult year to win for any team.

I expected George to suck, but Kawhi choking is shocking to me. I expected a huge game out of him. Especially since it looked like Murray could have been a bit hobbled after his fall last game.
Wild series.

What time is it?
Nuggets/Heat final is going to be fun to watch.
Eventually even great players break. Remember Wade given up in game 6 of the 2011 finals after 4th quarter LeBron finally broke his will?

A Nuggets vs Heat NBA finals would be the most 2020 thing to happen all year. Holy shit.

Likewise bro. I never thought Kawhi would simply miss all these buckets. He used to get t to his spots like it was nothing in San Antonio and hit with ease. Not a care in the world. Just got buckets like it was nothing. In the Finals versus the Heat even
I saw him get pretty flustered with his squad’s lack of composure in game 6. The entire roster folded tonight. Them boys talked a big game but now it’s clear only Kawhi knew what he was doing out there. Chumps around him were so sorry they ended up bringing him down lmao. Clippers got embarrassed out there hard
If the Nuggets defeat the Lakers in the WCF I’ll be shocked. Lakers in 6

Yeah even saw a few clips on Twitter of Kawhi complaining to the refs. He almost never does that. Or at least I have never seen him do it much. It looks like he was just out of his element or something.

What an excuse. Glad the Lakers ended up losing out on that fool joining the team. He used to ball out. Getting pathetic at this point to see a superstar turn to dust like this. The guy is a fraud. Horrendous now

The only player I see with potential on the Clippers is Montrezl Harrell. The rest are pretenders surrounding Kawhi. He might find himself in the same position next year unless Patrick Beverly somehow ups his game heavily in the offseason. Zubaca learns how to shoot or something. 50 years not reaching the WCF

I was rooting for the Clippers cause I thought they had a better shot to beat the Lakers.
George unfortunately is overrated. He was supposed to be the answer pairing him next to WB and he did the exact same thing, just existed. I'd still give up an arm for KL, but the Clippers were not a well built team the way the Raptors were. The Raptors were a bunch of dudes who got along and wanted to play ball. The Clippers were a bunch of dudes playing for themselves and honestly, I feel like all outside of KL lack heart. Doc did what he could, but this is not a team that plays well with eachother and I think KL and his kind of ISO ball he does worked with what he had last year with the probing and kicking doesn't work with this squad.

Lakers in 5
Beat them 3 out of 4 times in regular season, only lost when LeBron didn't play. Series comes down to 3 role players Kyle Kuzma, Michael Porter Jr. and Paul Milsap. If Kuzma shows up Lakers own this, if Kuzma plays like unreliable Kuzma and Porter Jr. continues to play like a stud anything is possible.
