Lol at Booker throwing a hip check.

Clippers barely put up a fight honestly, they don't even seem like they want it that bad.

Could be Mavs in 5.

I think they want it pretty bad but the main difference between previous series between these two teams and the current series is the Mavs have way more tools this time and are no longer reliant on the 3 point shot to win games.

Suns really gonna go down 0-3? Absolutely pathetic. Imagine KD and Bron getting swept first round in the same season lmao

 

[Croaker]

Cause they sucked. I didn't see Curry blaming other people and crying about the coach.

Curry didn't storm out like a baby cause of the replay center.

You're right, he just stormed out to watch some dude bang his wife lmao

The Phoenix Bums

KD just isn't the same without MVPCurry. Stats on a top team are nice but they won't get you chips.

Nugs-Wolves should be decent.

Womp womp

Durant and Le-never-my-fault James have never paired up together.

Will Sam Seaborn make it happen?

Presuming Durant and Lecrybaby are eliminated, this will be the end of an era. No Curry, Durant, James, Paul, Westbrook, or Beardo in the second round of the playoffs.

I want to see some new blood. I want the Thunder and the Magic in the Finals. I know it's not likely happening.

Sad to see tbh but the future is bright with the talent that has emerged.

 

[Marce Porter]

Suns are almost as pathetic as the Fakers. They need to fire Coach Joe Gatto and dump at least 2 of their “big 3.” all 3 of their big 3 guys are made of glass and Beal and Booker are both bad on D

 

[MM808]

Crazy with how stacked and close the west was, we might get 3 first round sweeps and If the Mavs keep it up they could win in a gentleman’s sweep. Didn’t see that coming

I definitely don't want Thunder vs Magic in the finals.. lol

I think the WOLVES IN 4 chants in game two may have been prophetic.

A true gentlemen's sweep is winning first three then losing one, then closing at home. That way you let the opponent win their last home game and you also fan service your own city by closing out at home.

Some people were saying the Mavs defensive rating for the last 20 games of the season was a fluke because they didn't play that many tough teams but it should be obvious now that this Mavs squad can play lock down defense. When the Flerps sub'ed out their starters last night with 3 minutes left in the game they had 83 points. I wouldn't be surprised if the Mavs have the best defensive rating in the playoffs so far.

Pretty sure the entire channel is devoted to trashing him. He makes some strong points though.

Angry Old Hoops raised a question. Does Leblame want to compete or does he just want to be gifted stacked team that takes him right to the Finals?

I think it's pretty obvious he wants the deck to be stacked in his favor as much as possible and his enjoyment in competing is directly related to the strength of his team. Granted, no one wants to play on shitty teams but genuine competitors have some sense of shame and take pride in building out from in rather than just playing GM, publicly throwing their teammates under the bus whenever they fail, and jumping ship every time they they're upset.

His first run with the Cavs and choking year after year in series where they were the favorite really scarred him. I was hoping he would find a way to break through but he kept falling on his face when it mattered.

Holy shit
