2021 NBA PLAYOFFS MEGA THREAD

[Los216]

This is the most animated I've ever seen Kawhi after a timeout. He's really firing his guys up.

Best players in the NBA right now

1. Kevin Durant
2. Kawhi Leonard

I don't know who's 3 and beyond but the top 2 are not debatable.

 

[Sir'Dom Pointer]

Yea playing 2-3 zone against the best three point shooting team in the NBA. Playing Trey Burke for some reason in game 7.

Mavs need some new blood as a GM and Coach.

 

[Los216]

Luke Kennard going legend?

 

[ACisKING]

Kawhi Leonard doesn't look gassed.

That’s why he’s the better player right now. He’s locking down Luka this quarter too.

 

[MirORich]

With 12 minutes to go, lots of time to make this statement look stupid, but I don't think the Mavs have the energy/legs left to outplay the Clippers by 16 points, unless Cuban's brought a secret mobile magnetic rim sealer with him to use on the Clips basket.

 

[MirORich]

That’s why he’s the better player right now. He’s locking down Luka this quarter too.

He's in his absolute mental/physical prime of experience, talent, and muscle memory while still at his highest level of endurance. He just has so much to pull from his bag.

These experiences can/should drive Luka to understand to type of physical condition and conditioning he needs to get into. Though the Mavs need to think long term in bringing him a true Robin, so that the Mavs don't fall apart anytime he's on the bench or his shot goes cold.

 

[Los216]

OMG

That last steal by Kawhi lolololololol

Fucking claws

Clippers are still gonna win this series

No. Its over. Lukas the best player and they're going to a full stadium in Dallas.

Wrap it up and put a bow on it.

Two years ago MIL was up 2-0 on TOR and Giannis was looking like the best player in that series. TOR won 4 straight and Kawhi took over. Kawhi still hasn't had a bad game this series.

Ty Lue will make adjustments. The Clippers role players will play better. I don't think the Mavs roll players will be hott the whole series.

LAC haven't even started attacking KP on defense yet and breaking down that Dallas D. Once they start picking on KP the tables will turn.

They were going back to Toronto, Los.

Dallas is headed home to a full house. LAC plays in a mostly empty arena still.

It's done.

@Los216 right now

 

[Sir'Dom Pointer]

Painful watching Doncic right now. Shit.

@Los216 right now

Probably but I finally had to put Los on ignore the other day when he said the Nuggets doubled Lillard every play down the stretch which was...just a lie lol.

 

[Los216]

@Los216 right now

It felt like DAL role players were playing off off a high in game 1. They were really feeding off of Luka's energy. Ty Lue didn't go in his bag with Kennard in game 1. Their bench didn't ball out.

I had more faith in LAC role players than DAL role players.

As I’ve said for years on this board, Ty Lue is a good playoff coach. Especially when it comes to maximizing offense and spacing, which is perfect for this Clippers squad that has so much team shooting. He’s also not afraid to bench guys and put out players who hadn’t been previously playing.

You're killing Carlisle for the same thing though? Benching Richardson and trying to play Burke...

 

[ACisKING]

Smh this zone again

No I’m killing Carlisle for playing Burke ahead of Brunson, Maxi, etc. I think Richardson should have been out of the rotation three games ago.
