I kept saying Butler was a top ten player in the NBA and people here would act like he's just a top 20 player or so. I knew what I was talking about.

Denver has the Clippers SHOOK!

If fan reaction is any indication Doc Rivers is out in LA. So many coaches have been moved, this offseason is getting more and more interesting. Clipper fans are really embarrassed and crestfallen right now, this was supposed to be their year.

I also think the Knicks really effed up by hiring their coach so early :lol:

Only here to say I wanted Murray, Anunoby and Herro in 3 of the last 4 drafts where the wolves were picking. I suppose I missed on Bam and Donovan Mitchell.

Who do you want this draft?

Having suffered through 12-70, 33 years ago, this is the same deflating feeling times 100. Kawhi and Paul George are both awesome, but they don’t have the outward fire of a Chris Paul who could rally the troops. The energy these last three games is pathetic and that falls on Doc.

Ballmer is a passionate owner who wants to win championships. He will find a coach who will get more out of these guys. Third best in the west will not cut it for him.

For the people keep saying the curse is real, yeah it’s Doc Rivers. He’s blown three separate 3-1 leads. He’s terrible

Can't say I'm honestly surprised. This team has showed zero heart in the post season, I don't know what the **** happened... All I know is Doc has got to go but for the first time ever, I'm truly embarrassed to be a Clippers fan.

I'm numb, just sick to my stomach. They have all stung in the past. Only positive is if Doc is gone, I can deal. I fear he isn't though and that breaks me.

After that last one they locked down the thread. I feel bad for those fans, its truly terrible seeing the Nuggets obliterate them like this to close the game. Brutal when you thought you were on the road to a title. Nuggets are a great underdog team with heart.

Heat and Nuggets fans have to be on cloud 9.

Never forget like 9/11, The Clippers traded 5 first round picks for Paul George who was so shook tonight and afraid of the moment that he shot a 3 to hit the side of the backboard.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Danilo Gallinari
Miami Heat 2021 unprotected first-round draft pick
Clippers 2022 unprotected first-round draft pick
Miami Heat 2023 protected 1 through 14 first-round draft pick
Right to swap 2023 first-round pick with Clippers
Clippers 2024 unprotected first-round draft pick
Right to swap 2025 first-round pick with Clippers
Clippers 2026 unprotected first-round draft pick

For Paul George

Kawhi let me down.

Paul George is just a Andrew Wiggins 2.0. Scared as hell of the moment

If the Los Angeles Clippers want to win a championship, they fire Doc Rivers tomorrow & call the Brinks trucks to Gregg Popovich. LA Clippers have no discipline, no chemistry, no accountability. This was one of the greatest choke jobs in history losing tonight. So disappointing.

Brandon Clarke All Rookie First team. I was all about standing pat and taking him. Once we traded up I admit I was on the Culver bandwagon.

Jamal Murray's play tonight should highlight the value that having D'Angelo Russell brings to the team. Most teams need a lead guard who can score from anywhere to win.

Yup, I agree 100% and I think DLo can score just as good as him but a better passer too.

We need the glue guys around him and Towns though.

Not only that, but they also show that you can still build around a center. We need to keep building around these two, not break them apart.

There was a stretch in game 6, when DEN ran multiple PnRs, handoffs, involving center. It was a joy to my eyes.

Denver has a good coach though.
