Luka Doncic is holding opponents to 37.5% FG in the playoffs so far.

That was before last night's game.

Of the five teams to go above the second apron this year, only the Celtics made it past the first round. And of the 8 teams in the luxury tax, only the Celtics and Nuggets remain.  Most of those teams already have a lot of payroll committed next year, so it will be interesting to see whether there are some major restructurings or not.

PG13 had 10pts in Q1. He only has 8pts since.

I am not sure what his shooting stats were but they were 4-9 FGA at some point in the Q2 for 13pts. Since then he is 2-9 FGA for 5pts. He is now 6-18 FGA. Another quiet playoff performance for Playoff P.

I find him to be one of the more overrated players of all time at this point…he’s good. Yay. I think he cares as much about playing video games and his podcast then he does winning.

Clippers are who they always were.

Denver in 6
OKC in 7.

There’s talk about him going to Philly, and my thought is he’d be a perfect fit for the Tobias Harris role. Philly might not even notice the difference.

I think OKC is too deep and well balanced on both ends for Dallas to handle.

In the other West series, don't underestimate the Twolves. I think Minnesota can pull off the upset.

If someone blows by him and gets a shot at the rim, does that count against his opponent FG% or his helpside?

It would but it hadn't happened much. Luka has been playing solid defense for awhile now.

I know the Sixers were first round exits but they didn't make a mistake letting him go.

I've thought he played well in this Clipper series, especially as the weakside protecting the rim, but I have seen a lot of blow-bys too. That's why I asked.

I thought we'd have more Game 7s this round, and I certainly didn't think the only one would be CLE-ORL lol.

I know the Sixers were first round exits but they didn't make a mistake letting him go.

They didn’t really get anything useful for him and I think they would still be playing if he was in their team. So I actually think they did make a mistake. Especially when you consider how wide open rest of east became

I don't. But my point more so was not giving him a big-time extension when the time came for it. If the Clips give him it they'll regret it but I guess they don't have much of a choice with Kawhi locked in and George potentially leaving this offseason, possibly even to Philly lol (or Orlando)

Good to hear jimmy butler still is an idiot. Said if he played Boston would be at home with a loss. So tired of that nonsense.

Guy is so overrated.
