Norm might be the best playoff performer on the Clippers.

I have no idea why the Clippers wanted him so bad. You can't make a leopard change its spots.

hes supposed to be the 3rd best player on the team and he has completely outplayed PG in this series


Which has nothing to do with my question.

Clippers shooting 30% from 3 Mavs 29% from 3, that's advantage Mavs.

Because the two games Clippers won 62% and 50%.

Says a Mavs fan saying the refs are hurting them :lol:


If you think crashing into a player and sending them to the ground is a foul then it must be nice to live in Lala land. Have fun in Cancun though.

I got receipts with people saying Embiid was the problem, and Morey too. Clearly the moment is too big for Harden, and he's washed.

Who is the problem? Brunson for sure didnt have top tier teammates in this series...



They had an injury free star and excellent role players who were elite rebounders and shot the **** out of the ball. Something the Sixers didn't have.

Luka launching 11.4 threes a game at 26% and that's before his 0-6 and counting tonight. Stop. Shooting. 3s.

Kidd just refusing to call a timeout letting the Clippers claw back in. Clueless as per usual

Totally agree-

He has to know that what Luka is doing right now isn’t championship ball but if it’s working he doesn’t interrupt… if they need him he takes over.

Definitely playing the yoda role

Next series I expect a more balanced attack from dalla when they face a real team


Kyrie had a comment that he thinks he’s matured a lot in the last couple years and I think you can see that.

Completely agree

Which has nothing to do with my question.

yes it does.... Hes in a role bigger than they needed him for and he still won them 2 games. They were in desperate need of playmaking and once they got clicking they looked dominant. You dont need your 3rd best player to show up every game

"Harden's a guy that averages 26 in the NBA, but if he was on the playground with you he'd only average about 5 because they wouldn't let him get those free throws." --Scott Hastings, April 6, 2013
