Re: NBA Thread
I'm stunned by another Clippers collapse. They're the best team in the league on paper but man. A week ago I would have had them beating the Lakers 75% of the time, I think it might be a coin flip at this point.

Re: NBA Thread
The Lakers are peaking and the Clippers have had a front row seat. I'm sure that's fucking with their heads. A weak minded team who only has one guy on their roster with a killer instinct. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they dropped game 7. It's not like home court plays into this at all.

I'm not sure who will win on Tuesday but this series just further confirms how incredible Jokic is.

A real championship team exploits his fat ass on defense. I'd have him in the pick and roll every single trip down the court. Mitchell and the Jazz had him figured out.Monkey_Driven wrote:I'm not sure who will win on Tuesday but this series just further confirms how incredible Jokic is.

Re: NBA Thread
You're probably right. I just love watching the guy play and seems to bring it in big games.

Re: NBA Thread
I'm excited/nervous for tonight. I think the Celtics should definitely be the favorites but people shouldn't be shocked if the Heat manage to steal this series. I think it's going to come down to whether Miami can score in the 4th quarter when Boston ratchets up the defensive pressure to 11. I'm not sure they consistently avoid turnovers in those situations.

I'd lean Celtics. Part of that might be my self-defense tactic of preparing for the worst, though. It's like 60/40, though.Monkey_Driven wrote:I'm pretty excited to watch a full evening of basketball tonight. No idea who will win the Celtics/Heat series.4/5 wrote:I'm excited/nervous for tonight.

Assuming the Clippers get through the Nuggets tonight I have no idea who will win the battle of LA series. I was thinking about it yesterday and almost no result would be surprising. Either team winning in 5, 6, or 7 would feel right. Pretty easy to construct a narrative that would support it.

Celtics in 7 is my guess right now, but it's going to be just as close as their previous series.
