Dallas has won all 3 night games in the series and the Clips won the 2 afternoon games.

Game 7 would be an afternoon game but I'm not sure we get that far.

** Philly won multiple playoff games without MVP Embiid
** Luka made the playoffs without Brunson
** LeBron missed the playoffs with Davis
** Steph missed the playoffs with Klay

How TF was that not a flagrant foul?

Wasn't even a foul!


Because Luka lost control of the ball before even being touched and 'brick clearly moves to go for the ball?

Almost every 2010 star is losing their series or eliminated already. It's a new era.

In the West we're probably going to get SGA vs Luka and Jokic vs Ant.

Ugh damnit 2010 all star al Horford is the sole survivor

Brick clearly played linebacker and trucked Luka purposely.

Those are George and Harden we all know. No way that last game is representation of anything, it was just a hot shooting night....

62% from 3 on the road and the opposing coach benched both rim protectors the entire 4th and Harden exploited it. Only reasons they won that game. Series should be over.

Damn that's poor from the Clips. How you dish out a performance like that on your home court in the biggest game of the year says a lot about the group of career losers they have running the ship.

Clippers can still be smart about this. Let go of PG, Westbrook, Harden and Kawhi. New arena will host a GLeague team but you’re better off for the long-term.

If there was an a game 7, it would be at 5pm PST on TNT. So that's a lot later than those 12:30pm games.

Well technically there's also still Gobert and KAT I think they were around long enough in the 2010's to count. And Jokic was drafted in 2014 but wasn't really a star then so idk. Kyrie counts.

Clippers traded all those picks to get PG-13.

And now in 2024, the Thunder are the better team and have a better #1 option + loads of picks.

Presti has committed grand larceny on them.
