Westbrook should not be taking 11 shots in 15 minutes while PG took 13 in 32 minutes…

Lue though has the luxury of several players able to bring the ball down and he’s night and day better than Doc at the PnR sets that free Harden up. Should be a great chess match tonight.


Kidd will play checkers while Lue plays chess, as usual.
Wrong once again.

I was wrong about the prediction, I guess I should turn in my psychic degree. I don't really care. But Kidd is not some great coach. Coaches come and go just because he's the Mavs coach the team you like doesn't mean he's a great coach. Literally no one thinks that.

The NBA is a players league, a coach can screw it up like Kidd in Game 4 (yes, he did) but he isn't the reason the team is playing so great.

Exum in with the cleanup crew. He's having a rough playoffs

Old declining teams: GSW, Lakers, Clips, Suns.

Kings are licking their chops in the Pacific Division for years to come.

Jaden Hardy with some really nice minutes for his confidence. I expect him to play a lot more next season (his third). He clearly has an NBA future.

Like the clipps have no choice but to offer Playoff P the max and harden close to the max, right? They aren't going into a new stadium with just KL and an already $120m+ plus roster?

Almost every 2010 star is losing their series or eliminated already. It's a new era.

In the West we're probably going to get SGA vs Luka and Jokic vs Ant.

I hate that I instinctively still think Clippers can win game 6 and force game 7 despite the fact that their two best players are Paul George and James Harden. What is wrong with me.
