    That wasn't worse than the famous shot he made to win in Toronto vs the 6ers.

    He made it worse by stopping, pump faking, and maybe traveling before he shot the airball. Such disappoint.

    Curry, Butler, Dame, and Lebron all out, Kawhi's the only "hero" left to be taken out.

    If the clips aren't chomping at the bit now with the Lakers clearly out of the way, it's pretty safe to say this team doesn't have much of a future.

    lukas advanced stats are not better than hardens. and if luka never gets better at the free-throw line or improves his defense. the comparisons wont hold any weight. Harden is still peaking at age 31. Imagine if harden had a 40% usage since age 22, no doubt he could put up the same stats

    Luka is still really, really good though. No shame in being "worse" than James Harden at advanced stats.

    What's most likely?

    A) Clippers play up and down but capitalize on Mavericks mistakes and take the next 2

    B) Clippers dominate the next 2 and win series

    C) Clippers force game 7 and choke

    D) Utter collapse tonight, fold the franchise

    I'm going with option C. I think they force game 7 and then choke at home, it all blows up this offseason

    I think alot of people are expecting Luka to step up and have a career moment in this game.

    I wouldnt be shocked.

    LAC are like a generic super team to me. Very name heavy but no character/identity.Doc Rivers also fits into that description.

    What has Tilman done to my Rockets that I actually feel no rivalry whatsoever with Dallas?

    I like Luka and I wish we had an owner like Cuban.

    F*** you Tilman

    Don't want Mavs to win, but it would be fun watching the Clippers implode.

    RC and Dallas have been pummeling that small line up all series. Kristaps plays like a 9ft shooting guard anyway.

    Marc Davis and Kenny Mauer... which team is going to benefit from the shenanigans?

    LA for being LA, or Luka for being the New Hope?

    Going to be interedasting

    It is hilarious watching all the people in the stands with their masks pulled down below their mouth dangling from their neck.

    Same people think putting it right back on when they step outside will do anything :rolleyes:
