Feeling every playoff Maxi has a attempted-high-flying half-way-down hurtful fall.

Love the fact that Luka will empty his clip regardless of risking percentages.

He's a real DAWG like Kobe.

Stay aggressive.

This duo has literally killed the Clippers all series yet Lue keeps going back to it. Then they add insult to injury by starting small 40 year old PJ Tucker. This comes the day Woj says the Clippers plan to run it back LMAO. It’s going to be 0-8 by the end of this 213 era. And sadly it’s not even fun basketball to watch.

Who is better in your opinion - prime harden or current Luka?


prime harden broke basketball.. elite coaches like spo, mike malone and steve kerr were crying to adam silver to nerf harden. the nba didn’t even move the 3point line because of the warriors lol

Once they re-signed Kawhi what choice do they have though? Just let Paul George and Harden walk for nothing? Who would come team with this Kawhi? And no draft picks.

He shouldn't have tried to get up a shot after the collision and should have just braced for a fall, he was still trying to throw up a layup

I don’t care at all. It’s not fun to watch. I’d prefer to watch a scrappy, competitive 35 win team that a horrendously underperforming 50 win team.

Regardless of what you prefer to watch it's smarter for them to re-sign them and then maybe trade them later if they can. Not let two stars walk out the door for literally nothing.

Play Harden, PG, Norm, Mann, and Zubac 44+ and see what happens. The rest of the rotation is atrocious.

Closing out on Jones is wild

It'd be like closing out on Adonal Foyle

Yeah they should have started Powell instead of Tucker. But I guess it doesn't make a huge difference. Both Tucker and Powell have played 7 minutes.

PJ was such a great trade for the Mavs.

So underrated.

He's a DAWG.
