PG13 gotta be the lamest nickname in all of sports. Sounding like the kind of movie no one really wants to watch.

Patrick Beverly straight up going to retire with how much he is going to get dragged this off-season.

You talk that much smack, half the NBA is going on twitter at him right now.

Murray and Jokic are playing out of this world. Might not look good on paper, but Denver is playing like a possessed team. Going to be a huge challenge for the lakers.

huge challenge? DEN is gonna be on fumes. This could be ala the 2009 CAR/PIT East Finals where you have a team that came in gassed off of two seven-game series

I can't believe he has a shoe with Nike

like of all the talent in the league, and HE GETS NIKE SIGNATURE SHOE.

If Kawhi stayed with the raptors the way their backcourt is built with Lowry and Vanvleet, with Ibaka and OG, and maybe Siakam feeling less pressure might have had more success, it would have been a likely repeat imo.

I honestly give the Isles a better chance of coming back from 3-1 vs Tampa than the Nuggets do of beating the Lakers

I wasn't an OKC supporter before these playoffs, but I think I am now. Thanks PG

Maybe game 1, but with the way medical and training staffs are today and the relaxed nature of the bubble, I think they'll find their footing quickly like they did in this series. You gotta respect the way Murray and Jokic have played, they willed their team from 3-1 deficits on their backs. They got heart, and heart goes to wills the legs.

Doc Rivers has long been the most overrated coach in NBA ,, Will this lead to him being fired?

I think its more then reasonable for Clippers to give him axe

Will be interesting to look back on this trade in 5 years. Wow. Could be gone by the end of next year if he decides to decline his option. All that for 2 years, and 1 of them is already a massive dud.

Unprotected 1sts in 22, 24 & 26, unprotected 1st in 21 (Heat pick), protected 1st in 23 (Heat pick), the rights to swap 1sts in 23 and 25, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Danilo Gallinari

That's what they traded for Paul George (and by extension Kawhi Leonard)

Those two combined for 24 points, 10 rebound and 8 assists in Game 7

They both have player options in 2 years

This is nightmarish stuff if you're a Clippers fan

 

[Terry Yake]

lol dame and mccollum are having fun with pat bev on twitter

 

[TeddyBare]

Paul Pierce on Suicide watch

I dont think anybody hyped the Clippers more than him.
"I dont see any possible scenario where they dont make it out of the west"

 

[PensandCaps]

Not sure why people are wrting off the Nuggets vs LAL, They are good enough to beat LAC, then they are definitely good enough to beat the Lakers.

When you can Shoot like Murray,if he gets hot, they will win vs the Lakers, The Lakers have garbage shooters.


Also, good luck defending Jokic.

 

[Terry Yake]

how do they not fire rivers after this?

this is gonna be one interesting offseason for the clips

 

[PensandCaps]

The Heat would run the Lakers off the court. No depth. Miami has shooters all over the floor, along with two drivers in Butler and Bam.

 

[weastern bias]

good luck defending Jokic.

I think the problem with the Nuggets is you can also phrase it this way:

good luck defending, Jokic.

I don't trust any team who's starting center is bad defensively, and that's the problem with Jokic

Denver can score a lot of points, but Lebron and AD are gonna feast inside

 

[Terry Yake]

i think kawhi got a little too much credit for beating a warriors team without KD (and klay at the end)

 

[K Fleur]

Most interesting NBA season/playoffs in a long time.

Jokic Vs Davis will be a fun one.

Its just that LA is gonna need someone to step up and hit 3s to match Murray and Harris.

But if playoff Rondo goes off, its a wrap.

Thank god Klay and Curry got hurt.

But they're getting a top 3 pick and maybe another superstar to join them. So they'll be back and win it all, making the playoffs boring again next year.

I dont have twitter. Would love to see more tweets on this madness
