The Clippers are not playing no where near their best If the Mavs have no answer for ZUBAC . . .how they gonna challenge the Joker??? Hell AD??? The TOWER OF MINNESOTA? While I am not 100% sold on this series. . . I just see no path to a championship for the Mavs. Watching their games I am less than impressed . . . clippers at least have a built in excuse (Kawhi looking so pedestrian) I agree . . . I probably would not have played Kawhi last night Rocket River
Leonard should have been held back until he was 100% (if that's even possible). If Harden and PG can't get out of the first round on their own, they don't deserve a deep playoff run.
At some point they had to bring Kahwi back and his first game was going to be subpar. They probably thought the sooner they could get this over with, the better. Might have cost them game 2.
It's nothing against the Clippers. But the league wants to extend every series for more ticket sales and drama, causing more variability in who moves on. We all know it happens.
Kawhi was woeful. So many shots short. Yet the Clippers still fed him and ruined their offensive rhythm.
After seeing the first 2 games it feels like this series is going 7. Would be nice if we get at least one exciting game 7 in the first round.
Seeing Luka cry and whine all game long was so annoying. He pulled a Mark Cuban and the refs obliged.
james harden in the 2024 playoffs through 2 games second in vorp behind only jokic at 0.3 .343 ws per 48 over 27 PER 145!!!! offensive rating/ 108 defensive rating over 12 bpm only behind jokic this playoffs in total win shares
The Big Three in Game 2: asst/reb/asst Harden 22/6/8 6-14 -6 George 22/2/4 7-14 -5 Kawhi 15/7/2 7-17 -8 Kawhi is coming back from injury Am I wrong to expect more from PG13? Rocket River
Lol @ Harden shooting 2-10 from 3 point and then making Kawhi the “escape goat”. Typical Harden fanbois.
Funny, they never turned Luka fans......essentially a younger better version without the strip club visits that we know of.
Bball refs game score for Clippers big three in game 2 Kawhi : 14.1 PG : 16.1 Harden : 20.7 Harden is supposed to be the worst.
Exactly. . . he is supposed to be the ring chaser . .. the third wheel Anyone who says they expect Harden to lead this team to victory is just a troll I'm more looking at PG13 . .. . aka. . Playoff P . . . . Where he at?? Rocket River
Ring chaser doesn't have to be the third wheel. Durant joined the Warriors as a ring chaser. He was arguably at least the second wheel, maybe the first wheel of that team in terms of production.
My point was. . . . . him coming to the clippers was not the expectation of him leading the charge Durant was still PRIME Durant . .. this is not PRIME Harden Also . . . I guess my issue is that PG13 seems to be getting a pass . . .maybe just all around over rated Now that Dame is gone. . . . he seems the most overrated in the West Rocket River
PG13 is the quintessential third wheel kind of guy on a championship team. He can't carry a team, not consistently. But he is more than just a role player. He can win a game all by himself here and there but not the whole series. Very good two-way player. Harden is also not a first wheel anymore. He would be a good second or third wheel on a championship team. The problem with this Clippers team is that they don't have a consistent first wheel. Kawhi is that guy IF he is healthy. But his health is very unreliable. He is kind of like prime CP3. Great player but almost always hurt when you need him most.
Agreed. Paul was a solid #1 in Indiana but since. . . He is being a 3rd Wheel He tried in OKC and Clippers pre Harden . .. but he cannot be a 1 or 2 anymore Rocket River
