this is interesting Stephs Efg drops 8.6% with Draymond off the floor since 2018. Steph has to do alot more on ball creation with Draymond sitting and i assume its a struggle without Iggy too. Steph stans always cry about Kerr not letting him handle the ball more but considering he isnt a great passer and a shaky ball handler it makes sense

Steph and Draymonds impact have been as closely tied together as any 2 players ever since Kerr got there makes it hard to say how good Steph is independently IMO. The team looked bad this season before Draymond got back too

Shaky ball handler is funny lol. Not how I would describe Steph personally

But pretty incredible the impact Draymond can have. He's totally expanded the way I think about offense, which is funny because he's first and foremost a defensive guy

If the Celtics only had to give up Brown and picks for Harden, there’s not a good argument against making that move (unless Harden simply didn’t want to go to Boston of course). You don’t pass up a chance to immediately have a very good possibility of making the Finals.

Embiid injury is a real bummer. Looked like he was putting it all together this season/postseason.

I knew deep down when everyone started counting the Mavs out after Game 4 that the Clippers were going to choke, and it's already started. :banghead:

Lol relax man. You are totally in this game. This is not like last night where the Lakers were already down 25 4 minutes into the 2nd.

I know a chokejob when I see one, and this is a chokejob.

Like I said - another Clippers chokejob. I know it when I see it. Congratulations to the Mavs for winning the series.

Far from over. And Dallas was the team that nearly choked this away, not the Clippers.

Nah, the game was headed towards a choke early on when the Clippers were down 7-0 and started pressing and playing mentally tight. Then they completely unraveled at the end of the third quarter and that was all she wrote.

These guys just aren't mentally strong enough (or well-coached enough) to bounce back and win the next two games after this. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I called both the Houston and Denver meltdowns on here when we lost Game 5 of those series and I was right both times.

So both LA teams are gonna be most likely out in the first round. The Lakers can still take solace in the first that they won last year, have AD locked up and should have a declining LeBron returning as well. I don't even know where the Clippers go from here if they end up losing.

Winner of Nets/Bucks will be the favorite.

First step should be Ballmer throwing an ungodly amount of money at Masai Ujiri to take over the front office. Second step should be trading PG to a desperate team to replenish the lost draft picks. Third step should be firing Lue.

Luka is just insane. This series has reverse home court.

—WE are gonna choke this series!!
—NO, WE WILL!

Win or lose this series, Kawhi should join Luka this off season. Perfect fit
