    Clippers sought them out, as evidenced by yesterday, the funniest tank game in history


    not to mention, the Lakers could still fall to 8th and draw Utah

    Jazz are, what, 4/5-1 vs the clippers the season? Weird take. PHX Is on the other side of the bracket sooooo

    Re: The NBA Thread

    they’ve played three games against the Clippers. one was the third game of the year and was pretty close, the second was without stars, the third I remember vividly, with the Clippers winning with all the issues I noted.

    I mean, I used my eyes after watching both teams like 40 times, so it’s not really a controversial take lmao. the Clippers seem to agree since they tanked to be in their bracket


    anywho, very pumped for the playin games! i am unphased by this horrible tipoff time NBA!

    both games tonight should be close. all 4 teams pretty much in the 15-23 range on offense and defense, with Washington being the best in both lately.

    man i don’t like this Biyombo lineup. slow on switches, won’t make Sabonis work on defense. Brogdon also burning Ball in and out early

    man a bad day for the Charlotte guards to miss their shots. they’ve been hot and today just missing open ones. the Biyombo minutes were -9 which was a big hole but their offense is so out of sync. some credit to Brogdon and Holiday on the guard defense

    Sabonis doing really well affecting the game even though he’s not shooting well. i’m a little surprised tbh considering they have a decent game plan centered around stopping him. Brogdon really made life hard on their defense

    crazy how Brogdon affects the game. i wonder if this suddenly makes Bjorkgren a tolerable coach lmao

    i know Brogdon was pretty outspoken against him but he’s such a gamer

    i’ve watched a little bit of Brissett but i didn’t expect him to be so solid in a meaningful game. he is impressive!

    Justins gonna call me out on this but I’ve got the Mavs in 7 games to upset LA. Clippers remind me of their local baseball counterparts, the Angels. All that talent yet just can’t really take the next step. I think resting Porzingis will pay off and THJ will ball out just enough to help Luka out. Luka will average a triple double. Mavs in 7.

    he’s pretty much their only prayer. if Porzingis can put any type of pressure on the Clippers defense, it’ll take a ton of pressure off of Doncic and the inconsistent shooters they have. only problem is i think between Zubac, Morris, and Ibaka the Clippers will have no problem with Porzingis. hope i’m pleasantly surprised and it goes 7 but i’ll prob go Clippers in 5 sadly

    side note: rooting for Brunson to have a big series in his first playoffs

    sucks this is where it ends with Charlotte. this was probably the only positive value year on that Hayward contract and he got injured. they’ll have a decision with Graham. otherwise, the future is bright. can’t argue with the year Rozier had. freaking home run on Ball, and i love Washington/Bridges

    Boston starts off on ice coverage forcing Beal and Westbrook to make decisions. i like it, but both are the type to use brute force to get the shots they want, gotta stay out of foul trouble

    as expected Washington is dropping Len back and playing guards up- the midrange should be there all night

    they’re actually just forcing Westbrook to go one on one, just daring him. love it.

    i like the Gafford lineup but Boston actually got easier looks against him. Len was -7 in six minutes. might be Lopez time soon

    Lopez more aggressive, but now it’s a layup line/free offensive boards. other than Fournier being a complete liability Washington looks slightly overmatched, need some individual heroics. Ish Smith saving their asses again.

    edit: Lopez on the block is automatic. Westbrook as the helper on defense is working, at least for two possessions

    yup this lineup is a winner- Westbrook/Beal/Lopez/Smith/Bertans

    need less Fournier and Ojeleye, more Walker

    Lopez +12 when he checked in just before Tatum’s 3

    no one is really hitting for Boston but Fournier absolutely killing them on both ends. letting Washington get away with one on one offense

    uphill climb now with Tatum cooking and the Smith lineup back. his postups finally started to pay off against single coverage after an inconsistent 1st half

    youtube tv died so i missed about 10 minutes worth of adjustments but doesn’t look like there were too many

    not Washington’s night shooting but there were wayyyyyy too many minutes without their best guys on the floor. i felt like Hachimura could’ve used more time on Tatum, not sure it would’ve mattered.

    Memphis gameplan too easy, giving space to our bad shooters like Johnson and Murray and aggressive on Derozan

    i actually like our plan, getting it out of Morant’s hands but shooters making us pay so far
