2024 PLAYOFFS Round 1 LAC VS MAVS

At least he didn't tease us with a great Game 1 this time only to mysteriously not have a working leg for Game 2 (and the rest of the series).

Best era of Clippers basketball ever.

No soft ass mentality or lack of focus.

If you are not giving full effort in a play off game then why play in the NBA?

James Harden will be also need to be aggressive.

Zubac needs to come out aggressive and locked in.

Entire team need to be locked in.

So PG doesn't play with any effort during the playoffs? Come on now. I guess it's going to start up again where PG has to take extra heat & criticism for Kawhi sitting out yet again.

PG’s issue is not effort. It’s all in his head.

I get that but I'm tired off all the heat he gets when Kawhi is the one always hurt for the playoffs. And they signed him for 3 more years and he's playing for Team USA this summer :banghead:

PG sat out an elimination game last year with "soreness" after teasing a comeback on his podcast and saying he "wasn't going to quit." He isn't exempt from the same criticism.

But we all saw that injury last year and knew what was going on with PG. Complete mystery as usual with Kawhi, and this is like what, four years in a row where he's injured for the playoffs. Not even close to the same situation

Remember on Thursday when Lawrence Frank said there was no gamesmanship going on? lol. We now learn players were told Leonard wouldn’t be ready for game 1 on Wednesday.

And they wonder why fans are angry.

It is 12:20pm

I am in my living room about to tune into ABC.

How are Clippers faithful really feeling right now ?

I think they know these are elimination games.

They ; Powell, Westbrook, Mann, Coffey will bring it.

My only question marks are PG and System.

Please bring your A games .

Leave it to the Clippers to be the only home team to lose so far :banghead:

Modern NBA where Harden passes an open layup for a corner 3

nickhx2 · Post #56 » by **nickhx2** » Sun Apr 21, 2024 7:57 pm

kinda thinking zu got tired of being a goat in the last two mavs series and is looking to change things up

Shaq Zu

Coffey has to play smarter.

nickhx2 · Post #59 » by **nickhx2** » Sun Apr 21, 2024 8:02 pm

i expect that kinda screen from zu but that was pretty bad from coffey

luka hitting a 3 on zu seems like bad tidings. i wonder if lue is going to make a pre-emptive move before he starts catching fire like in the past.

At least PG and Harden look healthy and playing with a purpose. It’s going to take that for 4 quarters to win this one.
