Playoff P definitely feels no pressure you can tell.

They should be trying to find a take for Kawhi this off-season and start the rebuild.

agreed unfortunately I think they will keep this going with Kawhi until he can't physically walk anymore or he retires.

That should be a non-call, play on

Did Luka do a stare down there? I didn't think that was legal anymore?

Hardened playoff experience counts for a lot, and Dallas will have the best player on the court throughout the series (Luka)

It will probably go to 6 games at least, but ever since they made those mid season moves, The Mavs have been humming nicely.

A mink rebuild for the Clips is required, they should shop Pandemic P around and see what kind of haul, esp young players and or picks they can get for him

The Knicks probably got enough assets to get a deal done, and a PG/Brunson backcourt definitely could cause my Celtics some issues.
Paul George Will be a free agent he will choose where he wants to go.

Whoever gives him a Max contract is getting ripped off

Don't know why Kawhi doesn't get as much flak as Bron after he forced the Clips to trade away SGA for PG.

Also no they have **** not. Harden did not lead the thunder to the finals, he was a 6th man.

Luka, Paul, and Harden have all led their teams to their conference finals.

Horrendous comment.

NBA4Lyfe is mixing up Harden and MJ, his bad.

why is luka so overrated when he has won nothing

Next season will be his 15th season. He wants more money, but he's clearly declining. Not a recipe for improvement.

Yes, I think that is true but at the same time, they are getting beaten at their core not just the margins. So how super are they. Kawhi doesn’t play. Beal isn’t really a max player. So maybe don’t construct a big three that is actually not big except in salary. But again also agree about the depth being more important than ever before in the league too.

The "big 3" for both Suns/Clipps are all smalls. Too many skills overlap. They'd each be better replacing one guard with a C/PF.

He's Podcast P now....and actually decent at it.

Kawhi let's his team down again. How many years has he sat out the playoffs because of his knee now? Dude only plays like half the regular season as it is. He needs to hang em up.

It's over 8 minutes left. No coach is waving the white flag that early in a close out game. They would have to be up 40.

You're about to find out these playoffs.

Don't know If possible. Why not trade PG to Knicks for Randle? again haven't looked at contracts etc.

Donuts83 · Post #4799 » by **Donuts83** » Sat May 4, 2024 3:59 am

I think PG goes back east. Maybe Orlando.

So now that Kyrie is a stopper, they gonna go with him, DJJ or PJ on Shai?
