I am upset to have gotten eaten alive by Khris Middleton. 4 fuck-you-threes in a row in the 4th, blah

I'm upset that the first four minutes proved to be the deciding factor in an 80-84 game

I was score watching on ESPN as i went to sleep, and when i checked my phone in the morning, i thought my browser had frozen in the third or something. 80-84 sounds like a pistons/pacers game in the early 00s

Not a big sports person,
But as someone from LA I’m cheering the Clippers. I was ready for them to lose after whatever last game was but holy shit! Chris Paul carried the team!

Quique · « **Reply #3752 on:** June 28, 2021, 10:06:07 PM »

Yeah Paul finally taking his team to the NBA finals...

Also dame trade rumors, wtf.

Just gotta win two more motherfucking games

Ty Lue's record in elimination games is getting absurd. 10-2 or some shit

I still believe. If this man wins after going down 3-1 twice i will go build a statue of him with my bare hands in front of staples

No Trae down 2-1 and the Bucks couldn’t put us away. Bucks are soft. CAW CAW!!!!

exlurker · « **Reply #3757 on:** June 29, 2021, 08:18:20 PM »

I feel bad for Giannis. This playoffs was built on a Choctaw graveyard.

That said...

cp3 has restored his karmic balance due to his plant based diet and the universe is rewarding him alhamidullah

Imma say this till I die:

Fuck the Clippers. Also, Fuck Pat Beverly, Fuck Steve Ballmer and Fuck Demarcus Cousins.

Congrats on getting to the WCF though. That's pretty much like a championship to you bums.

Whoever stopped rooting for the Lakers to jump on the Clipper bandwagon, stay there. If you're from L.A., you support the Lake Show. GTFOH.

All shit talk aside, congrats to Chris Paul. Been hating him for 10+ years, but he deserves this so much. Props to Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton, Monty Williams and the Suns. They have battled hard.

Paul George has my respect, hands down. He put in the WORK. Reggie Jackson and Marcus Morris too. They balled out. Reg deserves the bag. (Bonus shout out to Zu). Billy Crystal is a true Clipper fan and I've always admired his dedication to the team. If you guys would have won it all this year, then you deserved it.

Injuries have been brutal these playoffs. Trae and Giannis need to come back. Let's hope everyone can stay healthy the rest of these playoffs + next season. The game needs a Lakers/Clippers series.

Edit: and what happens with Kawhi? He opts out and Clips offer the max? He seems like he's never going to play a full season again and cannot be a reliable first option due to being injury prone. If I'm Ballmer, I roll with PG13 and ask Kawhi what new city he'd like to play in.

DaleSr · « **Reply #3760 on:** June 30, 2021, 10:23:50 PM »

I can't be mad at cp3 going to the finals and it seems like this team was just too exhausted from so many battles and injuries. Congrats to the suns, now let's see what's going on with kawhi and hopefully resign him

jorge · « **Reply #3761 on:** July 01, 2021, 06:25:43 AM »

Fuck Pat Beverley. Congrats CP3.
But mostly, Fuck Pat Beverley.

Bout to get that Suns Hawks finals can't wait.

I don't even like Chris Paul, for reasons that were plenty on display in that game, but man even I got hyped watching him stick dagger after dagger into his old team. Especially when it turned Pat Bev into some kind of emotionally helpless child.

As a father of small kids, my first thought was "he needs a nap"

BallDontLie · « **Reply #3764 on:** July 01, 2021, 09:14:09 AM »

Wish we had this CP in the 2018 run, but all in all stoked for him. Also for Monty Williams who turned Phoenix around… scary team on both ends of the court.

exlurker · « **Reply #3765 on:** July 05, 2021, 06:40:36 PM »

Well, seems like there are 0 suns/bucks fans here, so SLAP can now collectively mourn the end of the season. See y'all next year

Idk · « **Reply #3766 on:** July 05, 2021, 07:30:52 PM »

Chris Paul deserves a ring but if Giannis gets one he'll be a star at the level of KD and Lebron and he did what neither could do.

DaSk8D00D · « **Reply #3767 on:** July 05, 2021, 07:43:57 PM »

Suns one of the few teams in the league with a black coach and black GM that culture change was so swift

Right before COVID I was in that same arena watching them get blown out by the Kings in the first half

I was hoping Atlanta would make it since I have ties to that city as well, but I'll take a Monty Williams vs Mike Budenholzer coaching matchup any day of the week

ehhh, I like Giannis but he's still got a ways away before he's KD/Lebron level. He's physically dominate for sure but until he develops a half court game and becomes a reliable free throw shooter he'll always be susceptible to coaching fuckery in a playoff series. He's fairly one-dimensional in that regard. Some of his one on one iso's against Blake Griffin in the Brooklyn series were laughable at best. Dude just spams the the NB2K Turbo+spin move cheese, he's like Dwight Howard with handles on offense

I don't even think he needs a true jumper like that dude just needs to be a 70% free throw shooter and have a couple go-to post moves to create his offense when things tighten up. He gets that and I could bump him up a tier, but I'm sure he could give a shit what I have to think

I get that the Bucks are historically snakebit and whatnot, but you gotta be talking more shit during this run. Sixers fans made it past one round and still put out the majority of spicy posts in this thread

Agreed. I posted through my entire first round meltdown about the Clippers. I'll probably keep posting about the finals, cause why not, i love basketball

Suns in 4 AND Bucks in 6 still on the table

I think Jrue and/or Khris will be able to not shit the bed in one or two games and the Bucks can avoid the sweep, still think the Suns are more consistent and complete.

BallDontLie · « **Reply #3778 on:** July 09, 2021, 06:01:09 PM »

This play was insane… you couldn’t play defense any better than this, but it ending on an and-1 had to have been demoralizing…

Jrue looked like a totally different player tonight. Suns banking on Giannis to miss free throws didn’t pan out. I was losing hope after game 2, but if they keep bringing the heat, I could see a tight game 7.
