Yeah! If anything, it’s gonna be a great series when they matchup in the playoffs. Clips are one of the few that could prove me wrong and beat the Lakers.

Eh, look at it this way. Is Bron gonna miss that many 3’s/shots again? Both teams was healthy, and Lakers was up 17....so you can take it both ways, also PG didn’t shout all that well either

Clippers didn't play well either.

Also, I wouldn't bet on LeBron being dominant in the playoffs, that's when his age is gonna show.

And to get to tha Finals. That Cavs team beat tha 48 win Pacers in 7, tha 59 win Raptors in 5, and tha 55 win Celtics in 7. Tha Raptors has more wins than tha Warriors that year

He got swept, u mean?

Him getting swept gas no bearing on him going beast mode on tha Warriors

 

[Noyman]

Interesting seeing this Rockets offense without Harden and Westbrook although it's against the Pelicans. They should be better though but Harden not playing may have fucked up their defensive gameplan. Thank God E-God is back.

And almost stole homecourt advantage from the greatest team of all time by dropping 50 on their head but we all know who ruined that.

Lmao what has been going on with the 76ers? As a title contender, they been lowkey not meeting expectations. They had clamped Giannis and thrashed the Bucks on Christmas but since have sucked.

They cant space the floor. Ben Simmons is a one trick pony.

Would’ve figured they had struggles shooting. I mean lmao it can be claimed Simmons hasn’t changed since his rookie year and you wouldn’t be wrong. Also Horford’s fit with Embiid is lowkey weird even though they can both shoot when given the opportunity.

The ending of this game was straight out of a 2k game lmao

They lost Jimmy Butler, simple as that.
Just look at how well Miami is doing. We all overestimated Simmons & Jokel Embiid.

 

[Jiihad]

Basically what @Nidai_Kitetsu said. Embid and Ben don’t mesh. Neither shoots tha ball really well(or at all) and Ben can’t do shit but drive(which is sad, cause you got nothing but time now. You’re a pro, all you do is hoop). Tobias Harris is there best shooter(excluding Korcmaz) and he’s not a sniper, he can jus hit shots.

Couple all this with Embid sketchy health. And we are where we are now, plus they have 0 bench and Horford hasn’t played as expected

 

[Nidai_Kitetsu]

Yeah, watch their highlights against Houston. All the Houston players were defending deep inside the 3 point line, the paint was crowded. They could do it because Ben cant shoot. This made things tougher for Embid.

That being said, this man Embid acts like he is the 2nd Hakeem when in reality he is not fit to lace Hakeem's shoes with his resume. Many young players are spoilt now a days, the media compares them with all time greats too early.
