He’s just so inconsistent in the playoffs

Look at how many dudes get max contracts. If you're a first or second option, you're a max player in this league. Obviously not supermax.

Yeah Bradley Beal is going to make 50, 53 and 57 mil over the next 3 seasons.

He’s gonna get one but man he’s just not there when you need him

So the series comes back down to Kawhi again... can he comeback for Game 6

It's odd, physically he doesn't look like he's lost much.

After his MVP season, his shooting fell off a cliff. He has never been a good shooter but he was OK. The most telling stat is that even his free throw percentage went from 80-85% every season from 2010-2017 to mid-60% since then. You rarely see guys FT% drop 20% in the 2nd half of their career. While FG and 3PT can drop as you lose the ability to create high quality shots, it's truly bizarre to see FT% drop like that.

Might be nerves

You see the it in golf with putting where younger guys just step up and roll them in but their older selves struggle as they’re thinking about the ramifications of a miss a lot more

Didn’t expect this game to be a blowout smh. Game 5 in a 2-2 series should be competitive

Stick a fork in the Clippers. They're gonna get destroyed in the close out game.

Hes being asked to be a 1st option without Kawhi... he's not good enough for that.

The series would be over 4-2 if not for Kidd in game 4, but I'll take it.

Mav players not named Kyrie/Luka can't even bring the ball over half lol

These broadcasters are funny. I kinda stop paying attention and hear them hyping up it up like the Clippers are making a game of it so I check the score and Dallas its still up 20+.

Is there really no chance for the Clippers to just blow it up (not extend PG, aggessively look for Leonard suitors) because of the new arena?

ChipotleWest · Post #4095 » by **ChipotleWest** » Thu May 2, 2024 4:09 am

Game 4 Clippers shot 62% from 3 in Dallas
Game 5 Clippers shooting 20% from 3 in LA

It makes absolutely no sense what so ever. :lol:

Mavs should sit/rest Luka rest of the way

This got out of hand quickly

Come on, get Luka out if only for a couple minutes.
