Even great players fail every now and then, the thing that makes them great is the equally huge moments that they've come through. Of course losing this series, in this fashion is a big blow and will hurt his image/reputation/record, but it doesn't negate his prior achievements. But enough about mr cyborg... damn Jokic! talk about leading your team. Loved his effort, competitive drive and heart. Didn't know he had it in him! I was excited for a clippers/lakers matchup, but after what the nuggets have done these playoffs, I'm rooting hard for them. Cardiac kids lol
I am very happy that the Clippers lost. But why do Dame and CJ hate the Clippers so much? I as a fan can throw as much hatred as I want. But these guys went home sooner than the Clippers and they are talking smack? Beware of karma.
If the Nuggets eliminate the Lakers also, they are going to be the most loved team among 30 other NBA fan bases.
How does Doc keep his job after another playoff choke job ? Paul George is the most overrated all star in the league. He has played like ass the entire playoffs and hasn't been getting near the heat he should for how he has played Joker and Murray are both 25 and under. The Nuggets have a bright future with those 2 and they were at the first best when the pressure was on them in both these playoff series so far. You know the Lakers are going to get all the calls this next round. Denver knows that and they just keep playing and are mentally tough unlike the Rockets who just wither when the calls go against them.
Of course the Blazers are talking **** ... because the Clippers were talking **** to THEM! Do we not remember Paul George aka Pandemic P and scrub Pat Bev talking ****? Mocking Lillard at the FT line because he missed two FTs? Because the Blazers went home earlier they can't talk **** or mock the Clippers? What? Clippers just blew a 3-1 lead. Paul George has been absolute ass in the postseason. TALK.THAT.****. Dame & CJ. Who's getting sent home now? Who's going to "Cancun on 3" now? Who just blew a 3-1 lead? Lillard took exception to the mockery, and clapped back during his postgame interview. "I've sent [Patrick Beverley] home before at the end of the game," Lillard said. "Paul George got sent home by me last year in the playoffs. So they know." George was the first to respond, "And you getting sent home this year respect✊." Beverley then joked by saying, "Cancun on 3 ." Lillard again took exception to George's statements, telling him, "Keep switching teams ... running from the grind. You boys is chumps." Dame’s sister La’nae took to Instagram to shots at George and his girlfriend Daniela Rajic. “You can’t talk, You got a whole stripper pregnant and then you wife’d the b****, look at her hips, look at her face…don’t, I’m getting personal with it" Rajic saw Dame’s sister talking trash and fired back.
Clippers Could Upgrade Roster Via Trade Taking On Long-Term Money League sources that spoke with Brian Windhorst of ESPN believe the Los Angeles Clippers could piece together existing players on their roster in a trade to bring in more talent if they're willing to take on long-term money. Steve Ballmer is the NBA's richest owner with a net worth above $70 billion and the Clippers could take advantage of the financial uncertainty other teams. As one rival executive said: "You've heard of the saying, 'In for a dime, in for a dollar?' Well they're in for 95 cents, in for a dollar." Both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George could become free agents in 2021.
Portland talking **** is rich. They are even bigger losers than the Clips. Just STFU nobody cares about sweep city Portland. let’s get kawhi!! The door has opened once again for Houston
The only downside to this is that it got the Jazz and their fans feeling good about themselves. That's unacceptable.
