System man should be able to win with anyone...it's a system right!!!??? Oh actually he cant win with ANYONE

system man has never missed the playoffs.. can fluka and his empty numbers say that

[BmanInBigD]

except both have led their teams further than luka.

All of them have reached the conference finals as the lead guy

so then why overrate luka..

Good gawd, man. Are you not embarrassed yet?

[_NoMas]

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

When you’re in the goat conversation you are held to higher standards. Hope that helps

[BeiBeau]

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

Deflecting cause you’re dead wrong, said something embarrassing, and showed us all you know nothing?

[slicedbread2]

The Mavericks playing that doomsday defense on the Clippers making Tom Landry proud.

Put a nail in it, PG-13 shrinking once again along with Harden.

[Jcity08]

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

Honestly I've never been a fan of the stare down, it mostly comes off as very douchey.

[ChipotleWest]

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

What difference would SGA make if Kawhi was still out every playoffs?

Besides SGA was coming off his rookie season averaging 10 ppg. Paul George was All NBA. Kinda hard to see the future.

Calling it . Dallas will beat OKC in the next round and make the Western Conference finals.

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

[stuporman]

I think the Suns and Clippers have essentially killed the superteam/big3 era, well, them and the cap rules. You can't have 3 'stars' and a bunch of one dimensional role players around them anymore, teams are just too talented now, those top heavy teams get beat on the margins.

If you do have 3 stars you better know how to draft well. The cap rules force you to develop your talent and if you want to keep them you can but its highly unlikely.

That and find cheap talent in trades or the scrap heap.

[OkcSinceSGA]

Mavs in 6 as I called many times and voted here. Clippers need to nuke this team but won’t.

[Astaluego]

Clippers would be fools to bring this group back.

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

Who is giving what? For KL?.. they don't have national teams and they are opening a court... they are screwed..

You're waaaayyyy too invested in Harden.
I don't think he cares half as much as you do

[KyRo23]

The maverick rims sound wild

Playing along with that, it really isn't *just" talking about Shai, as who knows if he would have developed the way he did had it but went down.

But those.oucks and assets could have been utilized for other guys to surround them with.

[dodongo]

why would the Clips even want to extend Lue if he can't do **** against JKidd

[Tor_Raps]

Because Kawhi doesn't talk in public... dudes M.I.A. so it's hard to talk about him lol

[BloodNinja]

Clippers suck. No fight in George or Harden. Absolute bums.

People keep saying blow it up but George can just leave and Harden can just leave. Then there's just Kawhi. You trade him you're not getting equal value back, you might get a first round pick or two, something they don't really have right now. They'd be a lottery team.

[ejftw]

Just wish there was a way to instil PJ and Russ' energy and fire into PG and Harden

[leolozon]

The Mavs should just take the starters out. I think teams are generally too late to do that.

Up 22 with 7 left. Come on. Ask the bench to play slow.
