2021 NBA PLAYOFFS MEGA THREAD

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Paul George led his team in scoring 1 out 7 games and was getting 40 dropped on his head every night in that Dallas series.

They're down 0-2 again. What are we trying to argue here?

That George is a good but not great player and not good enough to be a number 2? If so. Agree.

But Paul George doesn't think that and the Clippers didn't either.
 
Cavs made the right choice to trade him, but I think we only got 2 seconds? You can argue we didn’t get enough value, probably didn’t. But he’s on a team with better players and a better coach so of course he looks like a better player. If the Cavs could bring Joe Ingles off the bench to play with him, he would have looked awesome in Cleveland too.
We got Dante Exum as well; used Dante as part of Jarrett Allen trade.
 
Joe Ingles is so awesome: he's looks like a dude who should be in a new version of White Men Can't Jump. Imagining a scene where he gets out of a plumber's van and then light's it up in streetball.

One of my favorites.

Thought Utah made a huge mistake when they extended him for what they did and he's done nothing but prove them right.
 
A guy that doesn't get talked about but is it just meo r does Nic Batum absolutely suck.

He's asked to do nothing at all on offense except shoot open corner 3s and I swear ever ygame I've wathced this post-season he's like 1 of them. He's awful.

The Clippers giving Rondo so little run makes me wonder what in the world they traded Lou Williams for. They could use him right about now, particularly with George struggling to shoot.
 
Lets be honest regarding Paul George. Laker Nation created some 'Pandemic P' nonsense and it's taken storm when the internet picks and chooses when to attack with him with it. He's no superstar, I don't get the hate of a very good #2 option that is extremely durable, tries to play defense, and can draw fouls with the best of them.

But he scorned the Lakers, he turned his back on the Staples crowd that was chanting his name at the FT line as an opposing player and how dare you do that, and for that he's crucified when he has a poor shooting night.
Paul George brings it on himself. He gets shit because he talks like a superstar and more often than not doesn’t back it up in the postseason.

"I'm back with my trainer that I had my MVP season. I'm locked in, as locked in as you can be... I'm on motherf**ker's asses this year."

When you say that you better deliver. He hasn’t been great in the playoffs since 2014. Since then he’s lost in the first round 4 out of 6 times, lost a 3-1 lead to the Nuggets in the second round (while going 4-16 for 10 points in game 7), and now is down 2-0 in the second round.
 
How are the Bucks so bad at shooting?

dont worry the league will intervene and get the Clips back into the series like they did against the Mavs even if they ultimately fail. lol
definitely would rather have seen Dallas get killed by Utah myself then have to watch another series of watching PG get roasted while the rest of his lesser teammates get a pass.
 
Eh, there are tons of stories of him being a total dick to fans asking for autographs.
Still - the dude spent 3 years in the prime of his career fighting in the Pacific. I can think of bigger assholes. I met him once at an airport. He could have talk about baseball. He could have talked about anything. But what he talked about was his time in the Navy in WW2.
 
But you pretend to know everything :chuckle:

I get on a basketball forum to talk basketball.

If that bothers people I really don't care.

If Donovan Mitchell scores zero points the rest of the way and the Clippers win the next 4 I'll be proven right and all the posters giving me a little shit wrong and...I won't care lol.

What difference does that make?

Just here to discuss hoops.
