I don't disagree at all but I just want to point out that AD now has Lebron, Dwight, and Rondo - all three with major playoff experience (if I had the motivation I'd look up the total number of playoff games played by all three) surrounding him. And AD takes a lot of pressure off of those guys as well. I still believe that LeBron is the engine in that car.

Step back 3 vs Millsap.

Didn’t touch the ball the next 4 possessions as Lebron controlled it. DEN took the lead.

AD scored the next possession. LAL 1 pt lead.

Jokic scores. Gives DEN the lead.

AD game winning 3.

I remembered it was the last 8, saw somewhere it was actually the last 10 for LAL.

He’ll never get the credit b/c, well idk why

Also LeBron after winning the chip:

"I am Kobe."

This season is trash man.

Makes me vomit. I'm still surprised Kawhi isn't there to eat LeGoat alive. Well, he isn't, so I'll have to own up to the facts after all. Apparently the most disgusting person can also be very good at something.

See, I'm married with two young children, so I'm not getting laid either way.

That does seem like a metaphor for being a Knicks fan. Just enjoy the other games

was laughing at this then realized this is my life, too.

takes mission impossible like skills and planning and luck to get some under these circumstances.

Thank you, NBA, for taking away what would have potentially been the most interesting match up in the playoffs in LAC vs LAL and giving us this lame series.

That play was AD running curling around a screen like a guard, or at least a wing

AD should get some unicorn love, unlike certain tall, goofy caucasians that will go unnamed here

Report: Clippers teammates rolled eyes at Paul George’s postseason calls for togetherness

Paul George and Montrezl Harrell reportedly had a heated exchange on the bench during the Clippers’ loss to the Nuggets.

Apparently, that wasn’t an isolated incident.

Shams Charania of The Athletic:

Paul George had a disappointing series against Denver, and had several moments that left him in compromising positions with his teammates — beyond just his production. Multiple teammates had verbal spats with George throughout the postseason, citing in their exchanges a lack of accountability from him.

In the postgame locker room Tuesday night, George was preaching to teammates to remain committed, for all the players to return to the team this offseason and stay ready to make another run. It was met by some eye rolls and bewilderment, sources said, because George did not back up his words with action in the series and the team has multiple free agents with decisions to make.

George wanted more time with his teammates. They already had enough of him.

This had been a simmering problem – George and Kawhi Leonard getting preferential treatment, their teammates resenting it. Harrell sounded particularly bothered by the dynamic.

The playoffs need to be held in a bubble from now on.

Crowd adds nothing, and the basketball is better here.
