ESPN gave it a D rating

at the time was "two starters on a WCF team with picks" for a half time player :lol:

That's why Kyrie is there. To help take some of the load.

P. George is in the last non-exercisable year of his contract and cannot be traded. However, next season is currently a player option and if is exercised, then the player can be traded.

Edit: just googled lOL

God I hate Harden, that was pathetic. He was my favorite player coming out of ASU.

Are you serious? Dort is a better defender than anyone on the Clippers.

I knew that response was coming, I'm talking about how they guarded him as a team. The physicality. They tried to beat up Luka like they did the other two series.

But Dort is even more physical than the Clippers. I mean, he isn't going to be easier for Luka at all.

As a team they're not as physical as the Clippers. It's different when you have several guys coming at him with physicality. Did you watch this series? They roughed Luka up as a team, not an individual the team. OKC is not the same type of team.

I think a healthy Clippers team have a chance to win the title. They have enough talent to do so. It's not really that ridiculous.

If... If... If... If... If.... same what if story every year they fail.

Peanuts might be worth more than Dinwiddie, Dorian Finnie Smith, 2 future FRP, and 4 second rounders

it was 1 FRP and 2 seconds

On paper, sure. In reality...you never know if Kawhi would be able to play. In reality...PG and Harden are notorious for disappearing in the playoffs. In reality...there are very few avenues to actually improve around these 3 since they don't control their draft picks until 2030.

Did anyone really think the Mavs were gonna get THIS Kyrie? Makes you wonder what his strange, sulky, one-way self has been doing the last few years before this one…

Mann, Powell and Zubac showing more heart than main guys on the Clipps.

Luka is playing into health and shape though

Clips are done. Good season. Get younger and get em next season!
Good series.
Mavs finally beat Clips in the playoffs (Clips won the other 2 series ) in recent years.

Congrats to the Mavs! Onto the next round vs young OKC

He just did an interview today or yesterday saying he doesn't feel pressure anymore. You'd want to hear that from someone who's winning not losing.

I've seen every game in this series. Harden/Mann and Coffey defending Luka and being physical with him didn't impress me. None of those guys are elite defenders. We'll see when the series starts, but I don't want to hear you whining when Dort is much more physical with Luka than what you've seen in this series.

Luka on one leg won't work vs. OKC. They better shoot him up with the good stuff, industrial strength
