The Official NBA Season Thread: SFA Prevails

And, yes, the PG and Kawhi pairing has a been a disappointment because of constant injury problems but the fact is the duo got them further than any Clippers team has ever been by getting to the WCF in 2021.

Pretty sure they weren’t getting to the conference finals with the Lou Will-Pat Bev-Trezz-Gallo core.

Think this year was their best roster of all the years…but any level of success was going to require all 3 of those guys to be healthy, and the best one of the three wasn’t there.

Jim and BPG are 2nd/3rd options that are too old at this point to do more than originally asked. Jim for example had about what one would expect out of him- a couple awesome games, couple decent ones, and couple trash ones.

Kawhi’s health killed the team. Second he was going to be out it was completely unrealistic to expect that team to win more than a couple games. No chance at the series.

Chuck already going in on the Lakers lol

Losing Ingram for free will be a whole kind other kind of mismanagement from that organization.

They’ll trade him.

Don't feel great about this, but Nuggets in seven.

Wouldn't be surprised if the T'Wolves pull it out, but I don't trust their end of game offense and they don't have HCA.

 

[ALNotSure]

True dedication or delusion to be a clippers fan. I salute

They won’t lose him for nothing. He’s under contract for next year. They just don’t want to extend him.

Nuggets in 6. Can’t trust KAT to stay out of foul trouble. He’s the X factor

 

[cool...but rude]

Ant takin the assignment early

Nuggets in 6

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Taking the Wolves because they can matchup with Porter and Murray defensively

 

[651akathepaul]

Wolves washing these fools.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Another generational DPOY ducking Jokic. Amazing

 

[allergic2broke]

Let's go wolves

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Early as hell but you can see the problems wolves give Denver

Nope. They're letting him get his, but trying to prevent his assists. Averaged 4.4 assist during reg season against Wolves...keep that # below 6 and Wolves are in great shape.

Aaron Gordon went from being known as a "jump out of the building dunker" to a team linchpin all-around player. Nice glow up for him.

 

[dman14]

i know this nuggets squad isn't better than last year's team, but i am surprised at how many people are going against them

 

[651akathepaul]

#noexcuses

LFG!!!

 

[headdetective]

If Ant gets past the Nuggets I’ll apologize for putting him on the fraud list

I get that. Phoenix tried to play Jokic to beat them last season and he lit them up. Could backfire. I do like McDaniels on MPJ though

Wolves got the personnel to execute it, but if MPJr gets hot that could be bad news.

Or foul trouble...highly possible.

Putting a 22 year old on a fraud list is just dumb

 

[the coolness]

Ant will take over the league soon... but I don't want it to happen yet. I need him to suffer some tough playoff losses first.

I say that strictly as a Florida alum

Thinking you have to be a certain age to be a fraud is even dumber

 

[651akathepaul]

Wolves defense too intense for these teams...Hopefully they keep this energy.

 

[kidkain]

Minny going all the way.
