OFFICIAL 2021 NBA PLAYOFF THREAD - YAWNIST WITH THE CLOSEOUT 50 PIECE - BUCKS WITH FIRST CHIP SINCE ‘73 - CP0 LOSES AGAIN

[wavycrocket]

he had the angle if he finished with the left
hell, he was already by luka. probably could've finished with two hands

I think we all done, done this before playing Live/2K



Be over there like…

 

[dman14]

Giannis got all muscular and Harden got thiccer

 

[storm2006]

Pre injury KD maybe

KD came back and despite his injury woes throughout the season and playing some light minutes put up 27/7/6 on like 53/45/88. That’s different, man.

 

[DeadsetAce]

wrong thread

 

[Coupé It]

Mann had it, he got scared. I was waiting for a timeout. Clippers really choked that off.

Some of us Knicks fan really gotta stop this. The Mavs are not our rival bruh. We both lost the trade. Chill out man.

 

[pums]

These guys are opposites have beef like that is crazy

 

[sohi 23]

i know no one believes in the Jazz and they only beat up on Memphis but I think I’d have to pick them over the winner of this series.

I’m leaning the same way.

Nah, I believe Jazz is eating whoever winning this Mavs-Clippers series alive.

 

[N41D]

It’s a lost art in the Nba, and with Klay coming off the knee and Achilles, his days doing it are probably over. But fighting through the screen and getting back was a joy to watch Klay do.
For Kawhii and Paul to be the defensive players they are supposed to be, don’t understand why they don’t do it.

The way Luka is shooting the ball right now, you're dead doing it.

You fight over, he pins you behind him and you either foul or he pulls multiple defenders. You go under he just steps into a three and he's shooting too well to give that up.

It's easier said than done.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Mavs are basically the Harden Rockets but with no CP or Russ. Just gotta hope the role guys can hit some shots.

And Luka has been better in the playoffs than Harden was in Houston.

 

[B Sox]

Utah is playing well and really are a good team, but I wouldn't be super confident against teams where you wouldn't have the best player and they both can bomb away from 3. Mitchell is awesome too, but I'm not trusting him more than Luka and Kawhi. Conley also banged up.

 

[N41D]

I’m leaning the same way.

If Mike Conley ain't healthy, it gets a hell of a lot more interesting.

 

[storm2006]

Jazz series might hinge on this

 

[Coupé It]

Funny GIF everytime…

But being carried by grown professional men when your a 17 year old MVP after winning the Euro’s with Slovenia (who were underdogs) was enough proof Luka should have gone 1st.

Not even gonna mention what he did at Real Madrid which was equally or more absurd.

 

[B Sox]

And Luka has been better in the playoffs than Harden was in Houston.

No argument from me. Been said they are very similar but Luka doesn't settle as much as Harden was in Houston.

 

[N41D]

It's a matchup that gives the Mavs a shot if for no reason other than Gobert ain't gonna do anything to make KP work on defense and they don't put a ton of pressure on the paint where Dallas really struggles defensively.

 

[HIM]

Is it still premature to call Luka top 5?

 

[B Sox]

Is it still premature to call Luka top 5?

Might need to confirm whether he's better than Russ or not first.

 

[sohi 23]

Damn I didn’t know Conley got hurt that’s big.

 

[QU!K]

KD came back and despite his injury woes throughout the season and playing some light minutes put up 27/7/6 on like 53/45/88. That’s different, man.

Hope Klay can do the same. What KD has done is amazing, but I don't know if KD will ever reach his full potential again. KD top 10 no doubt, but between Harden, Giannis, Luka, Jokic, Lebron, Steph, Dame, Embiid I don't know if I can put KD in the top 5 anymore.

 

[Coupé It]

Might need to confirm whether he's better than Russ or not first.

Or Lonzo….

The jury is still out on that one.

 

[SneakerProSr.]

Clips should still win this series but they getting packed the **** by the Jazz

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Uuuuuhm the Warriors ran a switching system.

Unless I'm remembering wrong, Klay only did that when it Curry man as the screener

And even then you could get Curry on the switch...see LeBron in 2016.

 

[WesleyPipes]

Was hyped to watch the mavs win. Let's win this next one

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I think it's more when you don't run a switching system as your base defense you give up low resistance switches to prevent miscommunications.

Warriors and rockets for example were much better at not letting you switch the guy you wanted.
