Luka the don handling his business like a boss as usual.
NBA 2020-2021
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
Pandemic P at it again.
That was a painful sequence to watch when KL was on the bench....just played 1 v 5 and his teammates just stood there while he bricked it and Dallas extended their lead, even if it's just to 8 or 9
Playoff Pi is my favorite (3/14)
Very competitive first half. Some sloppy play and bad turnovers, but good watch! Another close game!
Luka's 3 ball not falling, this is gonna be difficult for them to win with Leonard on Luka like this. Btw Dallas' big men are useless. Can't get anything going in the post despite playing against a small line up.
Boban has finally got going. Exactly what Dallas needs.
Dallas playing amazing basketball atm.
Tie game with less than ten minutes to go
Can't see Dallas winning this, fully expect Leonard to close this one out.
Intense game
They're doubling up on Luka forcing him to get rid of the ball
Amazing performance by Leonard.
Dallas shooters cold as ice in the 4th, they've had good looks.
Clutch by Kawhi . Those step back threes were the daggers. Game 7 should be fun.
There was Dame's performance then this one by KL. Elite performance by the two time NBA Champion.
Dallas just has gone cold and Clippers are on the attack.

So each team has not won at home yet?
Yeah! It's crazy. Hadn't happen since mid 90s.
Dallas are mental babies, they can't finish the job despite multiple tries. Fully expect them to be smashed in game 7.
And Terry Stotts is officially out as coach in Portland.
How utterly horrible has Porzingis been this series? Remember last year when people said his injury was the reason the Clippers ended up winning, and with good reason because he was great in those first 3 games. He's fallen far since then.
About 2 seasons too late
Jason Kidd 
Can someone explain why Jason Kidd always gets linked to job vacancies when he was underwhelming as a coach for the Nets and Bucks?
NBA players have always congratulated opponents on the court before walking off. It takes less no more than 20 seconds to do it in a classy manner and then exit. Jordan did it, even when he didn't want to. Magic did it. Bird did it. Hakeem did it. And any all time great would be expected to do the same.
In this instance, LeBron was openly taunting and mocking Crowder and other Suns players at the end of game 3 when the Lakers seemed to have all the momentum and Phoenix looked as though they had no chance to win. He then left his teammates with minutes left on the clock in game 5, and then stormed off the court in game 6 rather than simply shaking his opponents' hands.
It isn't surprising that the basketball world is reacting the way it is, and that the Lakers are getting criticised for their conduct in game 3 , while LeBron is getting criticised for his actions after the series concluded.
Leonard is amazing.
This has been a great series honestly
Kawhi, monster
And for once Shaw was right: if multiple mavs score in double digits but Luka doesn't go nuclear, the mavs lose

cause... cool name and that....
The Timberwolves must be particularly happy that they didn't do what most people wanted and picked their head coach during the season instead of the offseason, otherwise Finch would probably be a hot candidate for at least the Blazers and Celtics.
Also why is Lillard publicly lobbying for Jason Kidd instead of Vanterpool? He was happy to take a shot at the Timberwolves for not appointing him.

In this case, Kidd is a prime candidate for the Blazers job because like Dame he grew up in Oakland and the two have known each other for years.
Apparently being abusive to women is a requirement for the Blazers job
I was wondering the same about Vanterpool, was expecting him to be the frontrunner given the publicity he got after the Wolves hired their new coach.
Just watched Mavs Clippers from last night. I know everyone hates the Clippers, but I actually think they’ve been incredible through the series. They would be through already if the Mavs hadn’t had 2/3 games shooting at laughably amazing rates. Even if they lose Game 7, I don’t think it’s quite the disaster that it will be painted at.
And if they win Game 7, they would be my favourites to come out of the West.

Cf my post about Lebron being the originator of this IMO (and he didn’t just ring chase with the Heat, he was trying to build superteams with the Cavs and the Lakers as well).
Free agency obviously changed things too and there’s a lot to be said for greater player autonomy. But I miss the old NBA when a player was drafted to a team and tried to win a title with that team. And if they didn’t manage it, they didn’t manage it, no big deal, you could still go down as a Hall of Fame player.
In those days the ring chasing happened at the end of a career. Now players are looking to do it smack bang in their primes. Props to Giannis for staying put in a small market.
Hope Nets - Bucks lives up to the hype.
Bucks in 7!!
Bucks in 7!!
Harden out for the rest of game 1, huge chance for the bucks here
Nets are dominating.. without Harden. 63-61 at the half.

It’s a hammy, out for the series I’d think.
Dunno why Giannis doesnt just attack them, who can stop him among those 5. in the paint that is.
