Around the NBA XI

I see Portland is really going old school with 2 bigs on the floor most of the time. Must be preparing for LA.

Got to be honest they're scaring me a bit. Everyone's buying in, even Melo is moving the ball right now.

Danny Green shooting 14% on 3s in the bubble.

He's getting all of his misses out of the system now so he can shoot 60% in the playoffs and end up with his usual 40% accuracy at volume.

Just curious, is Deng still part of our payroll?

Clippers DNP Kawhi and then bench all of their starters in fourth quarter in a winnable game. If that's not trying to manipulating seeding, I don't know what is. Guess the players didn't get the message cause they still won thanks to Lillar's two missed FT. That one's gonna hunt him lol

I dont think it matters. We're getting Blazers one way or another.

I don't even care if we get them or not, just the fact that teams are blatantly trying to manipulate the seedings bugs me.

Not sure where I posted this before but it was about hoping for Melo to join Portland and praying a playoff matchup with Bron.

Fingers crossed Portland wins vs Memphis

Portland is one of the most atrocious defensive teams to penetrate on their perimeter defence. It is non existent. I haven’t seen Morant look this effective all bubble. Bron is gonna moonwalk to where ever he wants. Lakers sweep if couple of the scrubs hit a wide open 3 here and there below average.

Our defense isn’t good enough to beat the Clitters. This is far from ours to lose.

When we lost Bradley, we lost defense and competitive edge. Margins are tight in the playoffs.

Almost game time.

Let's go Lakers!!! :clap:

Vintage playoff PG13 MIA stinking it up, but doesn’t matter when you have Kawhi and a deep team, you can hide.

Damn, Gobert made everyone on that Jazz team look like prime Steve Nash
