[trynafeelmink]

Playoff P's last three elimination games...

15 on 5/21
5 on 2/16
36 on 14/20 (Will forever live in playoff commercials for getting dotted by Dame)

There have only been 12 blown 3-1 leads in history..... Doc Rivers has coached TWO OF TWELVE...... He was also up 3-2 in the 2010 Finals & Lost that series.

 

[JustBlaze.]

Ready for Game 1 tonight.

Heat in 6.

HBCU’s, or donate to Black Lives Matter. Let’s see ALL police orgs do this, then come and ask for LeBron’s assistance.

imagine a government organization funded by tax dollars asking/challenging a man making 30+ mil in state with extremely high taxes for more money
**** is a joke

Hope for his own sake that Playoff P's team/family have him deactivate all his accounts on sm if they take the L tonight...

Gonna get real ugly and toxic if they get bounced. Still got faith in Kawhichael to prevent that from happening though, and only Kawichael . Rest of those dudes haven't shown much to warrant the high regard everyone holds them in like they're serial winners

 

[B Sox]

Cs in 6. Like this matchup more than Toronto.

Heat in 6

Got too many shooters, who have been hot in the postseason, and great defenders for Boston to match imo.

Also don't see them having a consistent answer for Bam

 

[WASHED KING]

This thread is going to erupt into utter chaos if the Clippers lose tonight.

It reminds me of how they screwed Joe Louis back in the day. Be a credit to your race. Meanwhile Joe died broke all while trying to retrieve that credit from white america.

this is the sad part of it all. when it comes to cops being murdered, the whole county, gov't, police force are up in arms, acting upon it "immediately" and even spending millions of money to catch killers. but when it comes to spending on police reforms, re-training, accountability, etc.... nothing is being taken seriously. don't get me wrong, despite how terrible the police culture in the U.S. right now, I still support them when they are doing their job accordingly. I don't necessarily jump to conclusions whenever an individual being hurt, shot or killed is immediately unlawful. it's a very difficult and stressful job. I can sympathize primarily to both sides. I would say what happened to those 2 cops is pretty much the same of what happened to George Floyd.

[QU!K]

So what motivation does OKC have to do this?

Doesn't make them better in the short term or long term

Rebuild around SGA, not pay CP3 40 mil a year

It is a stressful job they willingly signed up for. That is also the reason the police should WANT to keep the departments free of accusations, just so they can receive the benefit of the doubt. Since they are seemingly refusing to do as such? They are indeed the masters of their own fate.

They already are building around SGA. Hence the Westbrook trade.

I'm not saying don't ever trade CP3. Just make sure you get the absolute best package of young players/picks from the most desperate team.

You want cap relief, lotto picks AND +10 increase in wins for a guy with maybe one good year left on a terrible contract. You got that ainge mentality

Sounds like a trade with the NY Knicks written all over it!

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

B Sox ... you pulling for the Clippers tonight bro? $$$$$

All I am saying is they don't NEED to take a potentially not so great deal from Milwaukee RIGHT NOW just because they have contracts that can make a trade work. Let's just see how it plays out. They have all of the leverage.

Didn't you have Boston in 5 last round tho?

Yeah put money up.

You usually come from this angle where teams can just hold players hostage until they get what's best for them and damn what's best for the player or the other team. There's zero chance Chris Paul starts next season on the Thunder's roster

 

[bostoiah]

Right. You want picks from old teams on the way down. Not young teams on the way up like Sacramento and Memphis

rent free!!!

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Yeah put money up.

Ima wait til the Clips face the Lakers. I got LAC in this one.

I already got bets on the LAC vs LAL series as you are well aware

There's a $1k bet that's been marinating since the beginning of the season between yours truly and someone else on NT lol

 

[pmatic]

So many drafts are either going to be emptied or deleted. I look forward to tonight, regardless of the outcome.

 

[niceshoes247]

Clippers should really conceder moving to San Diego
It’s beautiful out there ..
