I'm burning sage all over my house and I'm gonna do whatever other kook bullshit i have to in order to exorcize any racist evil demons Donald Sterling cursed this damn team with. Inshallah we shall defeat the Slovenian menace

[DaleSr]

Fuck me dude I'm just gonna live post through this game. I'm losing my mind watching it right now. My anxiety is through the roof

[DaleSr]

Horrible third quarter. God I hate Luka. If there is a God, he hates us

[DaleSr]

This team is fucking cursed. Fuck my life up

[DaleSr]

There is no God. There is only despair. This team has no fucking heart. I long for the sweet embrace of death

As a Lakers fan, tonight was a good night.

@DaleSr No disrespect to you, but my main problem with the Clippers started when you guys had CP3, Blake, Deandre, Doc, etc. Us Lakers were trash and the Clippers + their fanbase became so entitled/arrogant (yet never accomplished anything with that stacked team).

Years later, Clippers picked up Kawhi and PG13, Pat Beverly proclaimed in Vegas that the Clippers were going to be champions (we all know what happened with Denver in the bubble).

Now they tank their last few games of the regular season to face Dallas and it bites them in the ass. All that cockiness the last few seasons and y'all aint got shit to show for it.

Keep covering up our Laker banners in our stadium. LA our way? Nah. Go back to San Diego or move the team to Vegas. Los Angeles will ALWAYS be a Laker town.

At least you can't blow a 3-1 lead if you don't win any games 💔

No disrespect to you either but i hate the city of Los Angeles with every fiber of my being. I would sell my soul to the fucking devil to have the Clippers back here in San Diego. But the story of sports in this town or any team even remotely connected to it is absolute desolation and despair. I agree with everything you've said, they shouldn't have ever been in staples center, but this team and it's ugly racist history was owned by one of the most evil and black hearted motherfuckers in the entire state. Just like the Chargers and the Clippers, this entire County is stripped for parts and sold to the highest bidder. Junior, Tony Gwynn, Bill Walton, some of the greatest have given all they have to a city that doesn't deserve it or love them back. I've always passionately loved and devoted myself to these teams and they have never loved me back.

I long for future glory. But like Moses i fear i will die in the wilderness and will never get to see the promised land

Might wanna find a new team, friend. Maybe whichever team kawhi goes to in free agency.

That team is done done absolutely no chemistry to speak of, and nothing on the interior, and the guard play is mediocre to bad.

Join me in rooting for the sixers, because surely we’ll somehow fuck up this super easy path to the finals

[Quique]

Kawhi should guard luka the entire series, I haven't seen it at all. But yeah they have no chemistry no soul, don't see them going too far. They need a kyle lowry type of point guard.

Sixers should walk straight into the finals, if they don't I would like to see who they trade Ben for

I already did that with the chargers leaving. Started rooting for the saints. The postseason curse followed me

kinda want the knicks to win, would be way more entertaining than dismantling the hawks next round

[DaleSr]

Well we got a win. So no sweep. That's good i suppose

[DaleSr]

2-2 everything is evened up. Please please please let's keep trending in this direction

[WastedHippy]

LETS GO NYK!

Trae Youngs stupid face bothers me (though he still didnt deserve to get spat on, that was pretty ridiculous). I had a small amount of hope before the play offs started but the way Knicks have played (even with the game they won) I don't have a lot faith in them to come back

The fucking fans are getting out of control recently. I mean, i get hella emotional about basketball myself but throwing shit or spitting on a player is unacceptable. Kyrie and Trae young may annoy the shit out of me but there's no excuse to pull some childish shit like throwing garbage at them. Motherfuckers deserve a Ron Artest/StackJack beat down for that

[BallDontLie]

Yeah pretty disappointing... also that popcorn throwing asshole...

So i guess Kawhi woke up?

I know it’s basically a wrap, but Memphis played their asses off..

Edit: there’s rumors of arod and company potentially moving the wolves to Seattle when they take over.

Kawhiju has awakened.

It's hard to root for another city getting their team taken away and going to a better market, but goddamn i want the sonics back. Seattle has suffered enough from that asshole Clay Bennett burglarizing their team in broad daylight. But i also bet Seattle doesn't want another city to suffer their team being taken from them. They just need to do an expansion already. Give me back my San Diego clippers Steve. Don't build that Inglewood stadium, knock down sports arena and build something beautiful in the ashes

[DaleSr]

Brutal fucking loss for the Lakers. I'm not gonna dance on their loss or anything like that, since i just felt my own crushing first two games in the clips series. But fuck, they look pretty bad. AD is probably out for the rest of the series. Schroder is pulling a disappearing job, LeBron can't carry them the same way, and the Suns just look way better


Also of course nuggets/blazers had another 2OT game with insane Dame antics. Mother fucking Dame time is a real thing

Rough game. Switched over to watch Blazers-Nuggets instead. Damn, feel bad for Dame. Man was on fire.

[doomstation55]

Dame had me stressed out for so long tonight, thought the Nugs had it in the bag many times. Happy they pulled it out even if this probably isn't their year without Murray.

[DaleSr]

There's no one as electric as Dame. He's one of my favorite players to watch. I almost cry every time i watch the rockets game winner. Portland getting to experience their first playoff series win in 11 years.
"They get it to Lillard! He got the shot off! Lillard good!"
Shit gets me emotional

[BallDontLie]

Harden with 34/10/10 and only 1 turnover.... fuckin eh man.

[coldbrew]

I knew it was going to happen and it is what it is, but RIP my Celtics. Good luck to everyone else who's still in it.

[jorge]

Hawks are not only going to breeze past the Knicks but Philly better be ready and on point for them, especially if Embiid isn't 100%.

Just saw that bread Stevens is gonna replace ainge as head of basketball operations. Now we won't have to hear these dreadful reports every trade deadline about how ainge very nearly completed a trade for someone.

I think trae young is going to really not enjoy getting defended by Ben Simmons

I don't disagree, and I think that Philly is a better team.  But I don't think its going to be the blowout I see others predicting.  Trae is learning that he loves the spotlight, he's going to show up and ATL has shooters all over the floor.

[cky enthusiast]

embiid is fine, doc trying to close the series without him (which i think we can do).
