PG looks bad

Paul George and James Harden have to be 2 of the worst playoff performers ever.

Good observation. Also old teams who refuse to play the young players on the roster because they believe the teams are "win now."

Coffey was averaging like 3 ppg.

Which is why you put in Norm instead.

Dallas relying on Dereck Lively and Josh Green as key bench players is an exception to the rule with win-now teams.

Lue should've challenged that.

An ugly first quarter, George and Harden are playing like cowards.

Lively did the QWOP

ChipotleWest · Post #4373 » by **ChipotleWest** » Sat May 4, 2024 2:10 am

Lively has got to get better at shooting free throws, ugh.

Lively did a split. Did not look happy.

Luka's shooting has been nothing sort of atrocious in this série.....and yet, Mavs are leading this série.

Nuggets playing Christian Braun (2nd year) and Peyton Watson (2nd year)

Aw oh advertisement for Game 7. I saw this on Magic/Cavs and the Magic won and there is a Game 7. Looks like Clippers are winning this one.

I’m thinking the Mavs vs OKC gonna be historically good

True but Denver plays Watson, Braun for example. The idea that these old under athletic teams need another even older and more calcified geezer is crazy to me. But they also tend to have very low end prospects as alternatives too. Unlike Lively

You don’t know us in DFW my guy. Go back and rewatch 2nd quarter of game 4, the crowd was going ape **** while down 20.

I do not know you in DFW. Not going to rewatch. Will take your word for it.

An amazing part of the playoffs is seeing people/ places you don’t pay too much attention to during the season.

Now explain how doncic’s is so amazing while lugging around a dad bod? Does he have terrible metabolism? Eat mcds 24/7?
