Luka is amazing, but it will be interesting to see him next round against a team that actually plays defense.

You think he ain’t about to do the same thing to Joe Ingles, Jordan Clarkson and Rudy?

[picasso swerve]

That's a disrespectful *** shot to even attempt

I thought there was a second or two left on the clock but mans did this with 17 seconds left.

Luka the truth.

 

[Upptempo]

Imagine shrugging off the team that so desperately tried to get you in the postseason.
Only for that said team to win a title that same year.
All while you blow a 3-1 lead in the second round.
And go down 2-0 in the first next year. Damn.

I'm not a fan of all the "super teams" that have been put together the past 10+ years or so, but if Kawhi went to the Lakers, a Lebron/Kawhi/AD vs Durant/Harden/Kyrie finals would probably be the greatest finals ever

 

[Mr Dink]

I was watching the Lakers game so I caught the Clippers game late but I saw that Luke Kennard got 0 minutes????? Mans gets paid $64 million and he’s not even playing?????

That’s like paying over $1k for a pair of shoes and just leaving them in the box never to see the light of day.

 

[lawdog1]

You think he ain’t about to do the same thing to Joe Ingles, Jordan Clarkson and Rudy?

He will, but I think the Jazz as a team will make it at least look somewhat harder.

 

[sohi 23]

Ty Lue getting fired

 

[N41D]

He will, but I think the Jazz as a team will make it at least look somewhat harder.

The Mavs are going to go as far as their three point shooting allows...

Luka’s going to get his and largely get whatever he wants. If guys make shots, they’re a nightmare.

The ebbs and flows in effort and focus defensively dont help, either. When they’re locked in, they’re pretty damn sound. When they’re not, they’re terrible.

We forgot about Ja morant's grizzlies..?

Thats any team, referring to your last sentence but yeah Mavs cant get a bucket if theyre off, AT ALL.

 

[Mr Dink]

He can't. He already made his shady deals with Inglewood's mayor to revitalize that slummy part of LA.

Of course he can. Clay Bennett had no intentions of holding his end of his deal when he moved the Sonics to OKC. The same can be applied here.

It was a 2 for 1 situation, but still

They’re one really good player away from being legit title contenders.

Problem is they’re pretty limited on options without also losing THJ in the process.

 

[jballer20]

Kings should be clearing up cap space and wait on giving Bagley that qualifying offer
Kawhi is bolting and Cali teams have the clear advantage

I can see the Warriors offer Wiggins, Wiseman, the wolves pick and fillers for Kawhi

 

[mr j 858]

Of course he can. Clay Bennett had no intentions of holding his end of his deal when he moved the Sonics to OKC. The same can be applied here.

Best chance for the NBA and Sonics coming back to Seattle is through expansion in a couple years. Adam Silver has sounded like it's a possibility.

 

[QU!K]

Imagine voting for someone who didn’t make the playoffs as an MVP finalist over Luka.

Imagine.

 

[Coupé It]

That's a disrespectful *** shot to even attempt

Bro I’ve been saying since last year there is something going on with Luka and Clippers. During the season he killed them and crossed PG twice after dropping 40.

Then the Clippers tanked to play them……

Luka’s DISRESPECT level was turned up a notch………..Love it.

We need more DISRESPECT in the NBA.

 

[mr s j king]

Welcome to the Western Conference playoffs Ty Lue
He needs to ask Doc Rivers for some advice

 

[dacomeup]

Man, what an awful gameplan from the Clippers defensively. Ty Lue almost looked like he was conceding defense and just thought that they could out score Dallas.

Morris and Zubac are worthless in this series and are getting torched when either get stuck on Luka. PG is running away and letting smaller guys get switched on Luka and he’s abusing them. Kawhi honestly can’tguard him either. Extremely bad double teams they were sending at Luka late in the game that just resulted in guys walking into wide open looks. Role guys hitting like this on the road because they’re getting wide open looks. What do the Clippers expect to happen in Dallas?

what’s the point in PG guarding Hardaway instead of Luka if he’s just going to get his too?

This team is just mentally broken. Never believed in them for title contention but this is pitiful.

Luka, though. 22 years old. Doing this at this stage is amazing. Been with the Hive. That boy good.

 

[dcypoe81]

Imagine buying the team for $2 billion.
Paying $64 million for Luke Kennard.
Paying $190 million for Playoff P.
Paying $40 million for Patrick Beverley.
Giving up 6 years’ worth of 1st round draft picks.

Only to blow a 3-1 lead in the second round and potentially get swept in the first.

Slander the Clippers all you want, they deserve it. Slander Kawhi & PG & Ty Lue, they deserve it.
Steve Ballmer slander though? The money he's spent on the clippers to him is the equivalent of us spending an extra 1.50 to super size our value meal.

 

[Mr Dink]

That's a disrespectful *** shot to even attempt

This is a type of shot you try to hit when you’re just messing around during shoot-around or practice. Luka did it during a playoff game. Damn.
