2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

[Who]

What the heck was Westbrook complaining about?

It couldn't be about the foul he made. An earlier play?

[Who]

Calling it here…with no Giannis I don’t think the Bucks can come back to win the series. Dame shoulders too little to carry them

I agree but don’t think it’s that bold a prediction to say the bucks are gonna lose any series without by far and away their best player. Frankly im surprised they’re competing as well as they are.

Agreed. I also think this is a bit danging about the Indiana Pacers. That they have struggled as much as they have in this series against this Milwaukee team. This is not a good Bucks team.

Luka's Funky coloured Camaro.

[Who]

I don't know how a guy as talented as PG13 ends up with only 7pts in a game. He can score in just about every way possible. He has size, athleticism, skill. 7 points.

[Who]

Luka and Kyrie have shot a combined 15-42 FGA (35.7%) and Dallas are still giving the Clippers a beat down.

Old age. PG13 and Kawhi are not the players they used to be. Neither is Harden.

[Who]

Beal needs to close out better than that. He just gave Conley a wide open lane who setup Gobert for a layup (missed).

[Who]

19 turnovers for the Clippers
 8 turnovers for the Mavs

About a point per possession. 11 turnovers = 11 points. That was the difference in the scoreline. 101-90. 11 points.

Some Clippers comments

The number of times I’ve said “[dang], PG cost us this one” compared to the number of times I’ve said “[dang], PG won us this one” is not a fun ratio

Playoff p really showed how he was on his bully tonight by getting outscored by a injured kawhi leonard

PG picking up dumb fouls all game really killed any chance at having any successful lineups out there.
Guards getting blown by all the time and having to have Zu step up to help led to so many easy dunks for their bigs

Kawhi looked like old Danny Granger out there.. gotta sit him cause he looks like he can only go max 20%

Shoulda put a “ ” around the star cause that was an absolute PG disaster class.

I guess Kawhi has an excuse.. what’s yours?

I better not see a Paul George podcast anytime soon.

Luka is shooting 37.6%(29/77) in this series. The defense on him has been good but the Clips still can’t capitalize.

He’s [Kawhi] 100% hurt and took a step backwards tonight. He’s at risk for missing game 4 and even if he doesn’t I don’t see any world where he miraculously is back to himself. That’s just not how inflammation works. It’s more likely to continue to regress, as it did tonight. He took a noticeable step back from game 2.

Everyone was so worried about Playoff Harden, yet he’s been our best player all series long.

The fact that Zubac has clearly been our 2nd best player is an awful sign.

I saw one there = Mavs stars aren't killing us, our own [Clips] stars are!

A Mavs fan on Westbrook

I love angry Westbrook. He goes from a relatively smart player to a guy who makes JR Smith look like a genius. He over defends and commits dumb fouls. He starts hoisting low percentage jump shots and turning the ball over because it's a personal duel for him. It's hilarious to watch him short circuit a team because he's mad.

[Who]

Great defense by Beal until the last moment when he bailed out Ant with a soft reach in foul.

[Who]

I see some calls for Kawhi to retire. Broken down physically. Can't get through a season. About to turn 33 years old. Maybe he is close to retirement.

Then I look at his contract. He is on the books for another 3 years at $50mil a year. So I guess he is playing 3 more years!

[Who]

D Booker looks weird on this team. Like there is no structure to the offense and he doesn't know where he fits in. He is just wandering around the court. Dribbling around the court. Wondering what he should be doing. No direction. No structure. Lost.

Such a talented player. I think he is taking a beating (criticism) that is more down to the problems of the team / group than it is because of him. This group has not worked together.

[Who]

Eric Gordon saving the Suns again. We'll see if his coach benches him for playing too well like he did in Gm 2.

[Who]

Bol Bol is in the rotation today with Grayson Allen out injured. They are going with a double big lineup with Bol Bol next to Nurkic. This might be the slowest least mobile big man duo in the league. Wolves are playing Naz Reid next to Gobert.

[Who]

Beal with a turnover to end Q1.
Beal with a turnover to end Q2.
