maybe Masai was right not trading for playoff P....4-17 from the field tonight, yikes.

How sweet would it be if both L.A. teams got knocked off in the 1st round? :lol:

So sweet you feel gross after eating it.

It would have been an insult to expect to jettison a player, who won game 1 for you, to keep another. If a championship team, still growing, isn't good enough for you, good bye.

Luka doncic being the best player on the floor at age 21 against a Clippers team with both Kawhi and PG on the roster. This man is going to be legendary

This game exemplifies the importance of having a coach that makes adjustments.
Doc coaches like it’s still 2006

And1. On offense, theres no offense being run, just throw the ball around until a random players decides to ISO. On defense, same thing, just individual one on one effort. Doc doesnt have this team ready.

Danilo Gallinari, Shai Gilgeous Alexander and FIVE 1st round picks for Paul George looks extremely ugly right now. Masai was smart not to let Uncle Dennis make roster decisions regardless of how good Kawhi Leonard is.

Hilarious part is that Kawhi wanted to go back home and be in Cali, be closer to the family. But he's stuck in Orlando bubble, can't see his family and has Paul George as teammate.

It's amazing how badly Brand and the Sixers screwed this up. The Embiid/Simmons era is done unless the NBA decides to bring back a free amnesty due to COVID. Zero chance of building anything decent with the Harris and Horford contracts on the books.

Watching these LA teams it really hammers home how amazing it is that every one of our rotation players can hit 3s and defend at an elite level.

Those LA teams are both so full of exploitable holes on both ends of the court, while we're airtight.
