Hail Sabin Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Towards the end of the game someone in the TNT truck on replays needed to put Flames around Dam NBA JAM style!
Niners Fan in CT Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Whiteside was huge in that 4th for them too 1
southofheavy Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Yeah. This is not a good look for the Lakers. Lebron did EVERYTHING tonight. First player with a 20/15/15 game in the playoffs. They got 17 offensive rebounds. 11 steals. They absolutely murdered Portland in the paint. They still lost. You can chalk it up to threes, but damn, Damian Lillard sat them down at the end. That shot from just inside the logo, man...
Hail Sabin Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 That was one of those Pick Up Games shots where he takes it as a teammate you are thinking, "what the Hell is he doing?" then he makes it and your like good shot.
Brian Fowler Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Dame is legit playing at a "prime MJ" level right now. A totally different style, but just taking over games and beating teams and imposing his will on them. I mean he's been a really good player for a long time, but the level he's been at since they got to the bubble is insane.

If Dame is playing at MJ level what has Harden been doing for the last 5 years? Wilt level? Also ha ha on Giannis and AD shitting the bed and being anti clutch. LeBron deserves better and should demand a trade to a winner
Jiji Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Utah and Denver have great teams, man. Kevin Porter Jr. is showing why so many thought he could go first overall in 2018 right now. They have Paul Millsap as just a guy, not being relied on for much. Jordan Clarkson is a pure scorer of a high order. I hated seeing them lose Exum but Clarkson is instant offense. 1
_MJ_ Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 The Jazz or Nuggets are food to the Clippers next round, imo. Maybe even to Mavericks if they somehow pulled off an upset
Jiji Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 I dunno man. You're probably right but these teams are not playing well. Dallas is soft so I'm waiting for the choke job.

Lawful Metal Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 If Mavs beat the Clips they’re going to the West finals

Mavericks offense is usually good, but they blow too many big leads for me to have any real faith in them. That said, they have played the Clippers tough both games, one of which Porzingis got thrown out, so I hope they keep proving me wrong. Their bench showed up today. Boban had some damn moments and a fun interview with Inside the NBA crew. Good win.
Dolfan in NYC Posted August 20, 2020 Author Posted August 20, 2020 Solid 1st half. Buckets is trying to get fouled by everyone on the Indiana roster it seems.
Brian Fowler Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 It just seems spiritually wrong that a kid named Duncan Robinson plays for any team other than the Spurs (I assume I'm the roughly one billionth person to say that, but it's true) 3
Jiji Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 What happens in Philadelphia? Brown almost assuredly gone. Simmons traded? Is his value too low right now to make it worthwhile? Do you then think about moving Embiid? It's sad to watch Hinkie's master plan unravel like this but that was pretty heinous from Philly after Embiid's hot start.
Jiji Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 *looks at James Harden's stat line* *thinks "I'm sure Lawful will say the same thing about Harden that he did pg13. Fair and balanced." * 1
ohtani's jacket Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 Harden is playing like it's Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals. 2
