Clips know you can’t blow a 3-1 lead if you’re down 0-2, Lue playing 4D chess out here.

Ngl they are frustrating to watch, I feel like they could be so much more. They found some things and should take the next couple tho.

I dunno, the Dallas series I was pretty confident they wouldn’t keep hitting 50% from three cause their shooters just aren’t that good and were pretty shitty secondary creators. Hardaway and Finney can knock down an open shot, but if you hit that first rotation they’re not going to do anything after. Bogdanavic and Ingles, and kinda Clarkson even, are so much better at keeping it rolling and moving and forcing more scrambles.

Add in the Gobert factor and the Clips really need to hit those 3s to keep up. A lot fewer easy Kawhi and PH bail out drives.

Not hopeless, just smaller margin of error.

Agreed, not getting one in Utah leaves them with so little wiggle-room.

For those who like money, PHX +1.5 is as free as it gets. I've watched the games a few times now, and I can't think of any scheme or combination that can stop the Suns from getting corner 3's or layups, or at worst CP3 barbequing everyone on the perimeter.

MPJ's back might still be tight, and even if the role-players play like the best version of themselves it still might not be enough.

Let's go Jazz/Bucks! I just need either the Clippers or the AntoiNets to lose before the finals.

Giannis: please learn to shoot better
Donovan Mitchell: DAMN. Averaging 34/5/4 on 50/47/92 splits in the playoffs since last year (13 games)

Suns are way better like I told you but no clue what happens there. Bucks looked horrible on offense once again last night and still pulled it out. Joe Harris 1/11, weird **** happens in gm 3's.

Good game from Collins would be nice - esp if Simmons is on Trae.

I definitely think the opponent is in his head, when he gets the ball 18 feet from the basket he kinda knows him doing anything but a point blank layup or dunk is a -EV play against the nets and it is contributing to how indecisive he is

not saying I got an easy fix but that has a lot to do with it

If the Nets win a ring then Blake is pretty much the glue guy, imho.
