Around the NBA (Part Two)

[winforlose]

Clippers lost because their bench is crap and too many turnovers by Leonard and Harden but Zubac did an admirable job on Jokic, like he always does.

If clippers lose this series I can see them wanting to make some trades I wouldn’t mind getting Zubac, Dunn, Jones jr and picks( if clippers have any) for Rudy tbh.

Then trade Randall, jones jr,miller,conley,31 etc for Durant.

Clippers lost because Westbrook made 4 or 5 huge plays late 4th and OT. Offensive rebounding, forcing turnovers (one was Murray, but the other 2 were Westbrook.) I was very impressed by Westbrook.

Westbrook almost cost them the game in regulation. Denver will just have to live with the good and bad with him lol

The play of Malik Beasley and Harris(this first game) does not seem Sustainable. wolves are lucky Beasley had such a great (kind of improbable) season and that Cunningham stayed healthy to get that 17th pick. If Cunningham gets injured again next season I can totally see Detriot head back to the lottery.

Towns had great first half but kind of doing nothing in second.. I don’t miss that.

These playin teams are looking embarrassing in the playoffs.

Who do we root for between HOU and GSW? I hate both teams.

i'd rather deal with brook's antics than play against butler/green. the commentary/storyline on repeat would drive me insane.

Houston looks easy, they don’t have a player that can take over with his shooting and they have starters that are not playoff type players at all, like green horrid iq and Thompson and Brooks can’t shoot. Memphis got rid of Brooks because he was useless in the post season.

[Guest84]

Looks like the wolves started a string of blowouts

17-3 run for Houston. Rockets going to the 4th down 9. Offensive rebounding was the key.

I don't know who is worse, HOU who can't score in the 1st half or GSW that let HOU back in the game (from 20+ to just 4 pts). If we play HOU, our big lineup maybe too small against them . They effectively us Adams, Sengun, Smith to get back in the game. Curry could go nuts and take over a couple games. Of course we have to get pass LAL first.

[Neeva]

Podziemski and Moody suck. They wouldn’t even make the wolves top 8.

[Loaf_of_bread]

We are scary good if Ant and Julius buy in like they did last night.

We can beat boston. Okc would be tough.. thinking we will get to them though.

[Neeva]

Curry is gonna be tired for second round IMO.

[winforlose]

Refs allowed GSW to get away with an obvious travel for 2, then gave them a clear out of bounds for another 3. Those 5 will likely decide this game.

[Neeva]

Tbh I think Rockets WILL probably trade for Durant, their offense is atrocious. They have way too many players in their rotation that can’t shoot, thompson,Brooks, smith jr, eason, etc.

Honestly kind of glad, rockets will get Durant and not the wolves. He probably will leave them a mess like he left the
Nets and Suns.

[TimberKat]

The butler did it again. HOU can play D but Curry just nuts. Both playoff upsets are in the West. That just shows how close #2 to #8 are in the West.

They have the assets. Wonder if anyone will give Reed
Sheppard a chance. I said it before, there is usually at least one bust for the top 3 drafts. He looks the the one. They and OKC actually have enough assets to pull off a Giannis or Luka trade (if Dallas was patient).

[Klomp]

Podziemski and Moody suck. They wouldn’t even make the wolves top 8.

People made fun of the "8 starters" bit for most of the season, but it's absolutely a thing!
