NBA Playoffs 2023

[JSD]

Durant has now lost 7 straight playoff games.

Crazy…

DraftKings was giving away free money tonight in regards to Durant. 3-leg parley, 20 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists at +170

Free money

Crazy to hear Durant hasn't won a playoff game since 2021 

[Who]

Edwards could have some big games in this series against DEN's dodgy PnR & vulnerable switching defenders.

I’m looking way ahead. But imagine if it’s Clippers-Lakers in the WCF and Westbrook balls out and gets his revenge in a series win.

He wasn’t blame-free in LAL BUT I thought they scapegoated him real hard and blamed him for everything (despite the roster not being great either and AD missing time with injuries as usual) which he didn’t deserve

Yup he was scapegoated hard. But it seems like the Clippers (and Suns) could be the only team to beat the Lakers in the West. Battle of LA is what the narrative wants in the West. The revenge factor with Westbrook. Kawhi vs LeBron rematch. It would be lit.

I think Golden State can beat LAL in a series. I know how the regular season went but playoff Warriors are different and Wiggins is back. We’ll see though. Obviously still a lot of first round games left

So can the Nuggets.

Eh I don’t think they can tbh

Jokic's PnR defense already getting exposed by Slo Mo.

Westbrook and Gordon were huge post deadline pick ups by the Clippers. They’re just really deep now.

[Who]

Kyle Anderson has such a weird and fun game.

If PG comes back after this series, the clippers have the firepower to get to the finals.  Too much experience, I don’t think I want to see them in the finals.

For what it’s worth, Gordon was acquired via trade, not post-deadline.

[Who]

If Gobert is going to defend A Gordon like this playing 7-10 feet off him and plugging the lane, I'd like to see DEN drop A Gordon to the bench and play smaller.

Play MPJ at the PF and Bruce Brown at SF next to Caldwell Pope and J Murray in the backcourt. Nobody for Gobert to hide on in that lineup.

Shhh.  You can't say that.

His jump shot is… something. 

Also, how funny is it that the T-Wolves are paying Gobert $38M this year and he’s now coming off the bench. Lol.

[Moranis]

The Clippers won a game on the road in which Westbrook was 3 of 19 from the field.  Suns may be in trouble.

George was out too and they lost

The Suns may have a real big 3 (KD, Book, CP3) but Ayton is a problem. Hell, Westbrook outhustled him in the final few minutes and Ayton couldn’t grab a defensive rebound when they needed it most

[Who]

Gobert doing a nice a job getting deep position in the paint on those duck ins.
