He caught that Kyrie

Blame the black man huh?

Blame the black man huh?

No blame the white man that brought him there

I think Kawhi would tire out in that series but they’d get packed up?

No one on the clippers team strikes fear into you after Kawhi. Westbrook in a paced up matchup? Yes please. Drop coverage zubac and plumlee? Yes please. Batum playing small ball 5 trying to guard sabonis. Food

Paul George would change things though

Only game that really matters tomorrow is wolves/pelicans for the 8th seed right?

If the Clippers take care of business against the Blazers today, yes. If they don’t, Clippers-Suns tomorrow will have seeding implications.

Until I see Steph Klay and Dray lose can't bet against it.

You saw them lose 3 times

Nuggets ain't ****

I honestly wonder if Kidd said what he did cause he wasn't ok with the decision and wanted that to be known. Players and coaches are competitive and want to win there was a real chance to still get into the playoffs. Wouldn't surprise me if he was pissed. Not speaking on the quality of who he is as a coach of course thats seperate.

And that’s fine.

But you haven’t been good enough to fly in the face of management and Nico and Cuban both fell on the sword this week to cover your ineptitude while the entire basketball world is calling for your head.

Probably a good time to bite your tongue and be happy you’re not getting fired as a glaring part of the problem.

Is Denver trying to tank? I know they can't but uh.

Anyone know when the 2023 FIBA World Cup team rosters are getting set?

 

[Armada]

And that’s fine.

I agree don’t think he was right really just get why he might’ve said it. I’d be surprised if he not getting fired think he should be regardless if he said what he said or not imo.

Related but unrelated to Kidd and the Mavs Tanking on the whole tho subtly or out loud there’s only one thing the league can do to stop it and that’s abolish the draft but they will never do that.

They’re tanking any fear their first round opponent might have had of them.

The Wolves should not be 15-point favorites against bad teams like the Spurs. One of those cases where the spread doesn't factor in our fragility against terrible basketball players.

Kidd should be gone regardless but he won’t be.

And yeah - like what’s the league’s end game here with an investigation? You’ve had multiple teams tanking FOR WEEKS in broad daylight.

There’s not really a way to stop teams tanking. Get rid of the lottery - then what? I’m now tanking for a guarantee instead of the best odds.

Its ultimately just a stupid thing that happens in every league that the NBA has decided to self-righteously police for no real reason.

4 teams in the west playoffs play faster. If they draw the clippers, clippers getting packed up.

That's the only matchup where they'd be favored of the teams in contention to play them though. Sounds like a pretender to me.

 

[jpzx]

The league wanted the Mavs in the play-in. That is why.

Agbaji is nice
