    Agreed, he uses a super short rotation running his players into the ground and doesn’t emphasize defense nearly enough. Also Harden needs to get his fatass in better shape.

    Huh???:Dont:...

    Harden's Renown for "Wearing Down in the Playoffs"...That Wasn't Necessarily the Case THIS Year, but it's Been THE Knock on Harden his Entire Tenure in Houston Bruh...

    He's a Thick Bodied Dude Who Could Afford to Shave 10-20 Pounds...REED Wouldn't Say Harden's in "Bad" Shape, Per Se, but he Could Be in BETTER Shape for Sure...

    REED was Thinking More of a Wade Phillips, from the Other Side of the Ball, Obviously...

    Wade Put Together Some EPIC Defenses, Just as D'Antoni Teams are ALWAYS Near the Top of Most Single Season Offensive Categories...Wade Just Couldn't Put it All Together as Head Coach and Neither Can D'Antoni...

    Fuck Jason Garrett:Flip:...

    Can't Wait to See How Quickly Giants Fans Get SICK of His Ass PREDICTABLY Running Saquon Into a Stacked Box On 1st and 10, 80% of the Time, as he Did w/Zeke...

    I dont see that at all

    He just doesn't bring it when the pressure is really on. From the outset. Dude is in shape to play the amount of minutes he does and expend the type of energy he does with the ball in his hands offensively

    Dude look at how Harden’s gut is pushing against his jersey. Watch how he stands near half court when he doesn’t have the ball, how he refuses to cut to the basket when he doesn’t have the ball. Watch how he usually plays a gimmick brand of defense making it look like he’s trying to swipe at the ball but isn’t really putting forth real effort. I admit that’s not all about conditioning, a lot of it is just laziness and a lack of pride.

    Are the Present Day Clippers Falling Victim to the Franchises History of FUTILITY???:duck:...

    The Los Angeles Clippers have Never EVER Advanced to the Conference Finals and After Choking Away Games 5 & 6, EVERY DROP of PRESSURE Will Be on THEM, Game 7 of the Conference Semi's...

    I have no idea why Doc insisted on inserting Harrell and chicken wings Lou who were basically unplayable this series

    that series was puzzling. williams was trash the entirity of it, and harrell was pretty useless for the few games after he won the sixth man award.

    Man I am so mad at myself. I stopped watching this series because I figured it was over when LA went up 3-1. Then when Denver won game 5 I figured it was a fluke and still skipped game six. Obviously I watched the last game but man am I pissed about skipping games 5 & 6.

    Yeah, It was "Puzzling" Alright...

    Kawhi Leonard and Paul George both went scoreless in the 4th quarter. 0-11 FG combined.

    In Lieu of "Must" Win, Tonight is a "NEED" to Win Game for the Lakers...

    If Denver TIES this Shit, the Lakers will Begin to Feel the Same PRESSURE the Clippers Succumbed to...& @ THAT Point, it's Anybody's Series...

    Bron and AD BOTH Need to Be Epic Tonight...30-35+ APIECE...

    As CLUTCH as AD's Game Winning 3 was in Game 2, he SHAT All that Good Will Away w/2 Fucking Rebounds the Following Game:rolleyes:...Rondo is a FOOT Fucking Shorter, DECADE Older, a NON-STARTER, Yet Finished the Same Game w/the Same 2 Fucking Rebounds AD Did:rolleyes:...

    A "Bad" Rebounding Night for an ELITE Big is 6-7, Not 2...

    Since the Last Qtr of Game 2, Jokic has Been Giving AD the BUSINESS...Jokic Backs AD into the Paint, Jump Hooks his Ass Or Head/Ball Fakes the Shit Out of Him...If AD Doesn't LEVEL this Particular Playing Field Tonight (& Moving Forward).....??? :eek::freaked:

    Wouldn't Be a Bad Time for Bron to STOP Picking his Spots Either, if Capable...Just Might Take MORE Than an Epic QTR or HALF Here or There, to Get Rid of Denver Bron...

    i watched him in the mcdonalds game or some other high school all star game and it was clear he can shoot. that was further reinforced at kentucky and even seeing him in summer league with miami. what wasnt clear was the speed he has off the dribble, the ball handling, passing, rebounding and basketball IQ displayed in the postseason.

    Cool Tyler Herro story as told on Scal and Pals podcast by Brian Scalabrine. He says that in the draft Herro was selected in, Miami and the Celtics tied on a draft pick that went to Miami on a coin flip. Scal says he never heard a peep during Celtics drafts but that day the moment it was released that Miami -who picked one spot ahead of the Celtics- had chosen Herro Scal says he heard all kinds of screaming and cursing in the Celtics boardroom. Apparently the Celtics just missed out on one of the guy’s who’s been handing them their ass.



    Dubious officiating to say the least. I’m not sure the Lakers even win that second to last game without the obvious help they got from the referees and it was obvious in real time. There was a 35-23 free throw differential in the Lakers favor. The refs may as well have dispensed with the black and grey’s and just taken the floor in Lakers jerseys.

    Celts finally playing the defense I thought they should which is let Iguodala beat you. I don’t know why they were playing him so tight on the three point line, usually when he shoots that’s a win for the Celts. He’s made 2 threes so far in this game and I literally said wow both times.

    I felt since the last game that the Celtics are going to pull out this series and especially so if Miami doesn’t win today because if this goes another game the refs are taking the floor in Celtic jerseys. Nothing the NBA likes better than a Lakers-Celtics final.

    REED's Got the Lakers in 5, 6 Max...

    The Houston Series Will Prove to Be Beneficial in Prepping the Lakers for Miami's Stellar Shooting, Ball Movement and Floor Spacing...

    Lakers Also Have a Distinct SIZE Advantage as Well...Theoretically, Bron Could Guard Both Jimmy Butler AND Bam Adebayo for Stretches...

    Miami is Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeper, but LA's Cleared Every Hurdle Thus Faaaar, Rather Masterfully...And w/Bron THIS Close to Another 'Ship, REED Can't See him Allowing That to Slip Away...Miami's Good, but they Ain't Golden State from 2-3 Years Ago...

    I think miami will be competitive. They play better defense than Houston. Because they got adebayo. And he can match up with Davis

    Doc Rivers let go. His players let him down, that wasn’t completely a coaching issue that caused their elimination, at least not from an X’s & O’s perspective. I heard some of the players felt PG was getting undeserved preferential treatment, so if anything it sounds like a lack of culture. To be honest though their stars just didn’t show up which was shocking in Kawai’s case but the consistent norm in George’s.

    On the other hand, Doc couldn’t come up with a defensive plan to stop one guy from completely destroying them. So although it’s always the stars who get credit for winning and occasionally losing the big games, it’s usually the coach who actually gets punished.

    Doc's a GOOD Dude, GOOD Coach, but KARMA Caught Up w/Him in this Case...

    He Did NATHAN To Check the Clippers Clear Sense of ENTITLEMENT and He Never Discouraged Morris from His DIRTY Ass Play...Some of the Shit Morris Pulled vs. Luka was Borderline Criminal, Those Very SAME Tactics Woke Denver UP Mid-Series and the Clippers NEVER Won Another Game After That Moment...Live By the Sword, DIE By the Sword...

    This Time Last Year, the Clippers were the SURPRISE Team of the Playoffs, Similar to OKC This Year...Added Kawhi and PG and Expected the Rest of the League to Simply Bow Down and Kiss Their Ass...

    Kawhi's Probably THE Most Passive-Aggressive Motherfucker that EVER Lived...Again, "Quiet" Shouldn't Be Construed as "Humble", They're Not Mutually Inclusive...Kawhi was Cool Taking Lowkey Shots at Bron in Commercials and Strong Arming Toronto AND the Clippers, Demanding They Acquire PG as his Tag Team Partner...So the Clippers Went OVERBOARD in Trading for PG and OKC Overachieved this Season, as a Result...

    But Because Kawhi is "Quiet", NOBODY Holds Him Accountable, Even After a SCORELESS Fucking 4th Quarter in Game 7:Jest:...PG was Out of Character his Entire Time in the Bubble....Piggybacking Off of Pat Bev's CLOUT CHASING Ass, Mocking Dame, was the Beginning of the END for PG...

    To Your Point, No, It WASN'T Doc's Fault...

    Their Loss had NATHAN to Do w/X's and O's or Personnel...Dudes Simply CHOKED...But BECAUSE Doc Never Checked the Overriding Clipper Entitlement or Advised Morris to Simply PLAY BASKETBALL w/Out the Faux-Tough Guy Bullshit, KARMA Took Care of It in the End...

    The Clippers DIDN'T DESERVE To Win...Period...
