The Clippers have superior perimeter defense across their entire roster.

Their movement on offense is also much better.

Absolutely. They move the ball better in comparison to the stagnated offense the Mavs run through Doncic. Worsestill both players are bad defensively with Doncic being the worst.

Doncic is so poor defensively. Why is he slipping out of that assignment after switching on Harden?
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 11:46pm On Apr 21
Mike Gorman (Celtic announcer) announced he will be retiring after this season and I am just grateful.

After T. Heinsohn his longtime partner and Celtic great passed in 2020, I figured he would leave but he stayed longer than I anticipated.

Enjoy your retirement Mike and thank you for the memories.

People were fapping about their regular season performances.

It's a bit disappointing that there's been no real evolution to Luka's style. No off ball movement no cutting, just the same heliocentric pattern.

You look at someone like Jokic and how he's finding guys in rhythm, on time, easy baskets and without being overly ball dominant

The defense is another matter entirely
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:43am On Apr 22
That was a horrible performance by the Pacers. They looked like Deer in a headlight. Like a team that has no business playing postseason basketball. I expect more from them, maybe it was the jitters and now have it out of the way.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:44am On Apr 22
Don’t look now, the Pelicans have taken the lead against the Thunder.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:56am On Apr 22
This is going to be a dramatic finish..
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 5:04am On Apr 22
CJ misses a game winning shot. OKC win game 1.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:44am On Apr 22
CJ McCollum shouldn't be taking the last shot on a serious team.

Brandon Ingram another underrated Brick connoisseur. He seems to be coasting on where he was drafted and cos he's svelte and legelege like KD. Rated but yet to see the consistency

All those regular season ooh ahhs of Kyries game. Err'body silent now grin

AD, we dey watch your moves tonight. You should be shouldering this load instead of allowing papa smurf to gas out after 3 quarters. Otherwise this is your last year in lalaland

Your Thunder had you swearing last night I imagine. SGA. Credit to the OKC organization for the patient rebuild.

The rebuild wasn't patient, It was stealthy, very rapid and very effective. As at 2020, Chris Paul was still at OKC. Before then they had Paul George, West Brook and Carmelo Anthony and they all made the playoffs. OKC never tanked apart from the 20/21 and the 21/22 seasons. Last year they made the Play-in. This year, they went top seed in the Western Conference. I have never seen a rebuild as quick as that.
Re: The NBA Begins by larride(m): 2:07am On Apr 23
Eastern conference is cooked mehn.

How tf did Magic made it to the playoff with this kind of horrible shooting?

Thats why I did not want Lakers or Warriors to play you guys or the Wolves. They might use playoffs bright lights to beat you guys. As it is, your first round matchup should steady yall. I want to see SGA and Edwards make some noise this year.

By the same token, I am very satisified to see Lakers run into Nuggets in round 1 grin Either they deserve to be in the playoffs or just go home and get some icyhot

CP3 got traded to htown like 2017? OKC has been in a rebuild for at least 5 or 6 seasons. I would have to googles to see how long but they tanked shamelessly when they needed to, and stacked that team with young guns.
