The Official NBA Season Thread: Season Starts Now

[lawdog1]

Crazy thing about today is that Jimbo’s floater has been MIA for big stretches of the season. Not sure if he lost confidence in it or what, but did not see it nearly as much as I expected during his time with the Clippers. He picked a good time to find that shot again.

When KOC is right you know it's bad

Maxi's been great defensively for most of this series.

But it was very obvious very quickly after Luka got his 5th and everything was going to be Harden ISO penetration for the Clips Maxi just wasn't up to it today.

He never stepped to the drive. He never even really just stuck to Zu or whatever big was in. He was just constantly in no man's land. Just a really bad stretch.

It just didn't make sense that Gafford gets a minute and Lively 0 in the 4th quarter

Gallanari still having that 2010 style mohawk is crazy work

Gallo almost tore his ACL again.

Just turned the game on... What did Bobby do to get ejected?

That Mavericks “defense” was as about as bad I’ve seen on harden since years ago when the Wolves intentionally played behind him.

He somehow gets people to overthink it You’re gonna shade him right, giving him a clear runway to the paint…. With no help rotating over?

Andre Jackson Jr.

He has the makings of a good role player if he can knock down jumpers.

Quin Snyder had me howling bruv. Didn't it kind of work somehow though?

Either way you're right. I mean a floater is a shot you want him to take but like... why not make any kind of adjustment after you get burned even the 3rd straight floater? He hit like 7 of those mf'ers

Kidd is getting absolutely bbq'd rn so much for him coaching circles around Lue

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Greg Anthony called out Jackson's shooting when he first got into the game and he proceeds to hit his second three. lmao

 

[ill steelo]

Too bad the Clips had to waste a couple games due to politics, could be on the way to sending Dallas off at home

Unfortunately that version of kawhi was actively harmful to the team, I agree. Addition by subtraction.

My man Jimbo

 

[big j 33]

Spirit e to Thibs for putting OG on Embiid. The health defense after the double came as well was just amazing those guys were flying around the court

Jesus.

Edit: credit to Thibs... the help defense

Goddamn now Khris too

Is that Front Running Hali I see

 

[Kierris]

Dame requesting a trade.

 

[T0INE]

Damn EYE missed some peak shenanigans in Clippers/Mavs.

3rd quarter hit and EYE was like:

Props to MVPG and Harden putting the team on their bykes.

EYE was wrong.

Bad loss by the Mavs, had a chance to take a strangehold on the series and complete **** the bed out gate.

 

[T0INE]

Is that Front Running Hali I see

Crazy Eyes a whole dummy working himself into a shoot and getting ejected when his team is already undermanned.

 

[12:34]

Hali yelling “****” after that turnover had me crying

 

[superblytrife]

Need the Knicks to do the lord’s work and humble the Pacers next round.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Purists gotta hate this game rn cuz even I do with all these launched 3's
