2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

[hpantazo]

Bad body language Harden. Falls over on a failed layup attempt. Dallas leak out. Layup the other way. Harden doesn't get up off the ground.

Not only does he not get up to get back on defense. He does not get up to go back to the bench for the timeout. Zubac has to run back from halfcourt to pick Harden up off the ground to get him to go to the bench for the timeout.

Harden giving up already. Not good.

Harden staying true to form. He quits on his team every postseason.

[Who]

This is their best offensive lineup. They need to ride it.

G: Harden
G: Norm Powell
F: T Mann
F: P George
C: Zubac

They need to bench Westbrook. He is 0-3 again tonight. He was what 6-35 in the previous 4 games. Glue him to the bench. Play the guys that are delivering. That ain't Westbrook.

Bones Hyland could be a good option for the Clippers 2nd unit when Luka is resting. I don't think you can play Bones when Luka is out there because Luka will go matchup hunting and kill him. They could use him when Luka is resting though.

[Who]

Great defensive read by Harden to cut out that backdoor lob pass to Gafford after Zubac was beat.

[Who]

Another excellent defensive play by Harden. Big man not paying attention to the weakside. Harden sneaks in and rips the ball away from him. Transition layup.

[Who]

Dallas only scored 6pts in the last 6min of Q2.

Score was 46-33 DAL. Now 52-52.

LAC a 19-6 run over the final 6min of Q2.

[jpotter33]

It's absolutely ridiculous how much leeway the refs give that baby Luka. It's Green-esque the amount that they let him yell at them compared to others.

[Who]

There is something beautiful about seeing the Clippers get knocked out of the playoffs.

Harden. PG13. Westbrook. Kawhi. Ty Lue. Ballmer.

[Who]

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.

[Goldstar88]

There is something beautiful about seeing the Clippers get knocked out of the playoffs.

Harden. PG13. Westbrook. Kawhi. Ty Lue. Ballmer.

I can’t stand Harden. Forced his way out of Houston, then out of Brooklyn, then Philly. Hate his game, too. The others I don’t mind.

[Who]

Kyrie putting on a show.

[GreenEnvy]

These Western Conference Semifinals are going to be great series. I can see both series going either way.

My picks:

Minnesota pulls the upset in 6.
OKC needs HCA, takes it in 7.

[SparzWizard]

I think Denver in 7 in a physical matchup.

Mavs star power backcourt will overwhelm the young Thunder here.

[libermaniac]

Denver in 7, OKC in 5

And why shouldn't he? All those LA strip clubs aren't going to fund themselves.

Harden. PG13. Westbrook. Kawhi. Ty Lue. Ballmer.

LA players aren't generally serious people and are there for non-basketball reasons. So yeah, it's easy rooting against them.
