OFFICIAL 2020 NBA PLAYOFF THREAD - DISNEY COVID INVITATIONAL EDITION - MAMBA FOREVER - LAKERS WIN THE RONA RAND - ALA FOREVER

[aepps20]

Think he wanted to have 'his' own squad but unfortunately for him he only managed to get fallback option no.5 to actually link up with

That OKC trade is gonna look worse and worse though as time goes on

Hopefully he taught PG how to not get catfished and send nudes to dudes.

Who ever SERIOUSLY said Jamal Murray was Steph Curry . That’s the playful **** I say, when my guy get crazy hot from 3...and just go dumb. That’s best player in the league stuff (). And he clearly nowhere close to there.

But....My man is an all star level guard in the west. And young as hell. That’s ALL I’ve been saying.

You’ve been comparing him to Jordan Clarkson. And using numbers to back it up, without any context or roles, success, age, experience etc. That’s disrespectful to Jamal.

The Canadian Clarkson thing started as a troll until it wasn't, Dude was so inconsistent for his first 3 years that he shared identical stats with Clarkson. I never said that was his ceiling, i just used it as a reminder that he wasn't there yet.

He's shown consistency for the first time during this playoff run and has been good, However the NBA is going to NBA & use this streak to paint a picture like this is the player we're assured to see going forward, I would be careful with that suggestion but i'm still not that High on Murray.

Either way Lakers in 6

He chose Paul George over Bron and AD. That's a poor life decision.

Thought y’all didn’t like this, and it’ll “ruin the game”

 

[rolaholic]

Damn Embiid really didn't make any of the cuts

 

[Based Jesus]

Kobe went up against a team who was the higher seed and he had Smush Parker, Puke Walton and Kwame Brown playing significant minutes.

Curry went up against the greatest player of his decade and another all time great who both had all time great performances.

KD went up against what was at the time considered the best team of all time.

So yes while they all blew 3-1 leads. Not all of them were created equal.

A Denver team with little to zero experience (Millsap was the only one with conf finals experience) AND the fact they not only lost double digit leads in 3 straight closeout games and in very single game getting blown off the floor. I think this one stands even above the Warriors debacle as far as expectations and HOW they blew it.

As much as it hurts I gotta agree with MLGA on this one, all 3-1 chokes aren't created equal
To me the 73-9 Warriors is still the worst one ever but this is right in 2nd place man

 

[yobyellav]

Didn't think he get fired. 1st year they're together, 4 month pause in the season, entire playoffs being in one location. If they don't at least make the wcf next year, he's out.

 

[BIG FISH]

This rebuttal (I see this often) just exposes hypocrisy on both sides in almost all cases....

 

[MajinZuub]

In all seriousness I don't think the Clippers are going to make any drastic moves this offseason.
It was their first year with this core and granted this was one of the biggest choke jobs I've witnessed, I think they still will keep who they can. Trezz is as good as gone though.

 

[mr s j king]

You acting like kawhi being introverted has anything to do with his will to win

Nothing in my post mentioned "will to win".
My post clearly mentioned "being the face of the NBA", "making commercials dissing his inner city rivals".
Hakeem Olajuwon won back to back titles and he was never the face of the NBA.
Winning basketball games doesn't make you the face of the NBA

 

[8pm at msg]

Kawhi wanted to be his own man on another squad, nothing wrong with that. The man wanted to expand his brand and he wasn't going to do that being LeBron's sidekick.

 

[dland24]

Mark Jackson last night also said what I was saying about other stars not being held to the same standard as Bron... but I make stuff up lol

I dont know why any logical fan/analyst would though. Bron is in the GOAT conversation. I dont understand why people refuse to hold Bron to GOAT standards. "Other stars" shouldnt be held to a standard that is even close to Lebron's standard.

 

[tomdiginson]

Over the weekend someone tried to tell me that Kawhi is the second coming of Jordan and that the dippers were going to bounce the Lakers out. I called them this morning to follow up for comments and they didn't even answer.

 

[lovehateself]

Denver in 6 quote me, screenshot it , download it . Denver will win this series. Lakers will most likely win Game 1. Denver will adjust and then take over the series. Also coaching will become a big factor in this series. Malone over Vogul.

ill gladly take your money
100 on it
call me big lil BIG LEEMELONE

[addict4sneakers]

Being your own man is always the right choice. Kawhi didn’t make a mistake

 

[JustBlaze.]

Jimbo on the 3rd Team. Not mad at it.

As much as I loved watching the Warriors die slowly in 2016...I gotta say the Clippers implosion was worse. Warriors just happened to occur on a bigger stage in the Finals.

 

[MajinZuub]

Yeah as insane as it would've been for the Show to have him on this roster, I get why he didn't want to play on the same team as Bron.

Still don't like how he played the Lakers but things have worked out for them thus far.

 

[mr s j king]

Man what

If he cared he would have scored in the 4th quarter in an elimination game

See you dudes need to realize there's two Kawhi Leonard's
The Kawhi that the media and his Uncle has created, and the Kawhi that doesn't care about awards and a celebrity status and just wants to play basketball. Win or lose

 

[MVP]

Kawhicael Jordan
K
Whi

Mans should be called Anthony until further discussion

A few New balance commercials got you that heated?

 

[dland24]

Regardless of what Kawhi does or doesn’t accomplish going forward you can’t take away what he has already done.

2x dpoy
2x fmvp

If he only did it once you could call it a fluke. 2x tho?

Every statistical measure says he stole one of the dpoy awards, but that doesnt change history.

[nick.]

??? I don't hate Kawhi, at all.

I'll mock the hell out of him for making poor life decisions that backfired beautifully, but I don't hate him at all.

I'm not about to post your tweets but man you were talking some wild **** last night
