    Playoff P and Lou Williams is the reason I wanted the Rockets to be in the Clippers bracket.

    Beverley has 3 fouls but Doc cant afford to sit him, lol

    Luka is a slower harden in every way but the skill based game still translates. It’s crazy, dude literally looks like he’s in slo mo on his step back and drives.

    Beverley tried to instigate Doncic with a hard foul across the arms. But Doncic just ignored him and drained two FTs. Interesting.

    This is what happens when you start feeling yourself too much. Media gassing the hell out of the Clippers, lost all their fight.

    Only because hes white he looks slow. If he was so slow defenders won't keep getting beat by his cross overs

    God damn wouldn’t it be awesome if both LA teams got smoked in the first round? I think we might see a rash of media suicides if that happened.

    Harden and Luka are slow; they don't have straight line speed. They are both quick with the handle and the first step though.

    The media narrative would also be replaced by Luka media hype, and that would almost be more annoying.

    Would be awesome to watch harden pick off golden boys one by one though. Cp, dame, luka, GA.

    This may actually happen. Both Portland and Dallas are very good teams. Lakers and Clippers have been less than stellar.

    I'd rather have PG than Doncic.

    I can't believe people are ready to put Doncic over Harden.

    The media really makes you dislike some NBA players. The way they fawn over Luka's regular passes is cringe-worthy. At the same time will discount Harden like he isn't also controlling the game. I should be enjoying Luka's game, but I'm out here wallowing in all this salt.

    Lol 7 turnovers in a half for the "greatest passer of all time"

    I wouldn't. PG has hit his peak. Doncic is 21 and putting up numbers LeBron didn't even do in his 2nd year
