Pretty sickening that Doc gets rewarded with a path so easy, even he can't choke it away despite his best efforts. But I guess that's why he went running back to the weak East.

That weak East got Lebron multiple trips to the finals, so he's not complaining

Nah.

LeBron got himself to those multiple trips to the finals.
Let's see if Durant can get himself to a finals in the east. He's gotta do or die game at home in a few hours.

LeBron would have finals appearances no matter what, but being in the East allowed him to get as many as he had. There's generally less leeway in the West and has been that way for some time. It's nothing against LeBron's greatness, but I can't say Doc is running to the East because it is weaker, then also say that the weakner nature of the East doesn't apply to other players accomplishments, can't have both. All that said, the East is actually stronger this season then many previous iterations.

With the Nets loss, Blake does not get to claim the past 2nd round prize, and actually neither does DJ. Even in more role player roles it didn't work out for them yet. Blake looked solid though, he's still got game in him.

Now, who will the Bucks get?

Durant is out of the playoffs. If we can just get by phx and Kawhi comes back, The clippers would be the favorites to win the title, imo.

The Nets board is having an epic meltdown right now - one guy on there even said he hopes Giannis tears his Achilles. I wish I was kidding.

With all the extreme heartbreak the Clippers went through before this season, I'm glad our fanbase has always handled it with class. Like, when we choked to the Nuggets last year, we all argued over what the Clippers did wrong and how to improve. I don't recall anyone spewing such toxicity about Jokic or Murray.

the only thing that will make me feel good about today after the clippers losing is doc losing. I got nothing against the sixers. I just want to see him lose. lol.

Kevin Durant isn’t close to likable and neither was that team in Brooklyn.

What did Nash do to earn that gig?
“We don’t need a coach”.
Harden out of shape n forcing his way out of Houston.
Cryrie taking a random vacay,
Cryrie crying about how there’s more important things going on than basketball and trying to be Malcolm X.

ZZZZZZzzzz

The most likable part of the team was watching Griff turn into a hustle player.

Good riddance.
Even a limited player n choker like Giannis deserved better than to lose to a group like that.

If Doc manages to outchoke this John Starks-esque performance by Trae, I don't even know what to say.

I remember some fans being upset that we didn't sign Dwight last year. The guy is an idiot and one of the dirtiest players in the league. I'm glad we didn't sign him.

I can't believe philly is struggling with an undermann hawks team like this. You'd think they are playing Kawhi's Raptors.

LMAOOOOOO, I'm so glad I was wrong. This turned out to be the 2005 Celtics/Pacers series all over again. Doc is the biggest choke artist in sports history, and the crazy thing is that he never learns from any of his chokejobs.

Not gonna lie, this takes some of the sting away from our loss.
