By s y Go To PostDEANDRE JORDAN IS GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARBAGElol i peeped that too
Hmmm
Can't fault passing to Joe in that spot.
Hayward was bursting into flames, but Joe is impossibly clutch.

By IWMTB19 Go To PostNot all of this loss is on Jingles and Hood.
Just a huge portion of it.
Hood and Neto were -21 and -10 today in 24 and 14 min, respectively.
Hill is a +9, but play the right way I guess.
By livefromkyoto Go To PostWe've got two Sunday games!
Jazz/Warriors would have been Sunday regardless.
By DY_nasty Go To Postchris paul is self-aware lolHe know how close he was to choking away the last game of this version of the Clippers. Both teams know that they're just competing to get swept in the next round, but I'm glad it didn't end like this.
Rodney Hood not getting any space vs. Crawful in that horrible stretch without Hayward, Hill, and Joe was just pitiful.
Gobert had a good offensive game too (16 points in limited minutes).
But... the players other than those 3... not good on offense tonight.
maybe if everybody but Hill and Hayward didnt shit the bed on offense

Lol. Ramona Shelburne saying that Blake's injury will give the Clips an excuse to keep the band together if they get to the second round and get destroyed by GS.
Damn would have liked to see Hayward get that final 3 but can't blame them for getting Joe a shot there.

Imagine if John Stockton told you he was going to sign a rookie extension, so you let him out of his deal at which point he said "LOL FU I'm an alpha I'm not sharing a team with another star" then went to go sign with the Sonics.
Next, I want you to try to visualize a dark place where your management looks at the Minnesota Timberwolves, utters the words "model franchise" and hires some rando from their organization who drafts Adreian Payne but with no eyebrows 8th overall to play center. And pairs him with Rafael Araujo, who is so bad the coach won't even let him on the floor until January.
Then imagine Malone pretended he was hurt, told everybody he couldn't run pick & rolls anymore, started giving opponents your plays at the end of games and forced a trade to the Rockets in exchange for absolutely nothing. Once in Houston he promptly played harder than he ever had in Utah and tortured your team every time he played you for years.
Now imagine Enes Kanter was drafted with the only #1 overall pick you'd ever have. And imagine your new GM was Turkish, and only wears clothes made in Turkey, so he spends the next 7 years forcing the ball to Kanter in the starting lineup trying to prove the greatness of Turkish basketball for all time. It doesn't work, except for one 13 game stretch where he looks good that gets him a lengthy extension from your GM who is desperate for any sign that this is working. Some guy named Trax will write novels about 13 game Kanter, it will be as annoying as fuck.
Also: Corny Enes Kanter Turkish food commercials. Every. single. commercial. break.
We're not done yet!
What if, after years in the wilderness, Deron finally led your team back to .500? You're feeling good, right? The horror is over! You're going to be in the playoffs, just like a real basketball team! Except at the all star game, he hangs out with Kobe & Pau, and they're like "Deron, we'll totally let you hang out in our cool club if you come play with us. We'll win not one, not two, not three but tons of championships!" So Deron acts hurt, watches your team get stunted on from the sidelines for 2 months and you get insta-bounced. Then he goes and signs with the Lakers about 2 minutes later. You get nothing in return.
You have no star and are are dead again, enjoy the lotto.
Until you've experienced that mortal, you know nothing of true pain.
that was a good write up and i enjoyed it immensely
my comment was more of a criticism of myself more so than my teams though...
like shit, i need a life

Anybody who's made it through the last 16 years and is like "yeah, I'm still a Knicks fan, let's see what the last two years of Phil Jackson are like" is a hardcore Keith Richards motherfucker who can survive anything. I'm not putting myself on that level.

Since the 2nd round starts tomorrow, how did you guys do with your first round picks?
Perfect score so far, saw the Bulls giving the Celts trouble too. I like Utah's team better but the Clippers have always been a bad matchup for them. Injuries have thrown that series up in the air though.
My 2nd round picks:
Warriors over Whoever
Wizards over Celtics
Spurs over Rockets
Raps in 6
SAS/HOU is a tough call - the Rockets definitely have enough talent & firepower to take the Spurs out, but I think home court & D & experience Kawhi pull it out for the Spurs.
By livefromkyoto Go To PostI'm not going to pretend I have any idea how many games individual series will last.
Celts over Bulls ✔
Cavs over Pacers ✔
Raptors over Bucks ✔
Wizards over Hawks ✔
Warriors over Trailblazers ✔
Spurs over Grizzlies ✔
Rockets over Thunder ✔
Clippers over Jazz ❓❓❓
A bunch of boring favourite picks. I kind of want to pick Utah over LAC & Bulls over Celts but I can't bring myself to pull the trigger.
