2020-21 Around the NBA Thread

Clips are toast now without Kawai. The curse continues. Looks like you guys will get your wish to play Utah in the WCF. Congrats.

They were hot in game 5's first half from 3 also. Didn't they hit 17 or something? Didn't help them in the second half.

True. Jazz are a really weird team.

 

[AzStevenCal]

but hey we got Josh Jackson

I did not want Josh Jackson but Mitchell didn't even cross my mind.

Well, no. Most of us would have chosen a Kawhi-less Clippers team over a semi-healthy Utah team especially since we would have the home court advantage against the Clippers. But this isn't over yet, game or series.

They're the nba equivalent of Duke. The rely HEAVILY on the 3

Its why they are a good matchup for us

Since their coach is a Dukie…

hindsight is 20/20

Mitchell didn’t even go in the top ten he wasn’t even in consideration for being picked at the top of the draft. If that draft is held today Mitchell and Bam go 1 and 2

what’s even worse is Denver drafted both Mitchell and Gobert then traded them on draft night

..and I thought Arizona had fair weather fans.

Series ain't over yet my man.

Didn't know that about Quinn Snyder. Makes sense though

 

[Dback Jon]

So game 7 is absolutely happening between Utah and the Clippers

Jinx

 

[GatorAZ]

Mitchell and Conley might be sitting by the 4th qtr.

Series ain't over yet my man.

Ihear ya, but an Ibaka and Kawai-less Clippers will have about a 2% chance of beating Utah on the road in a game 7 with Conley and Mitchell. The basketball gods just will not allow it.

 

[Germz249]

Clippers are garbage. How are they not smashing a banged up Jazz team? Its also their own home court with more fans in attendance.

They've been pretty bad at home all postseason. Choking away a few games to the Mavs as well. The Clippers have serious motivation issues.

Bump. Lol

Live by the three die by the three

 

[Raze]

That was the greatest 24 second long awkward silence after dude said "Oh what a Mann!"?

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Mann is going to be a problem on Sunday. I would put DA on Batum and Booker on Mann.

lol I didn’t think he would put up 40 tonight but when you’re guarded by the DPOY it’s easy!

 

[Dback Jon]

What a comeback

Story of my life hearing that

 

[dscher]

All the clippers needes was a good doubting from Rivercard and they're good to go!

He does seem to make sure to mention backdoor passes alot.

they win tonight and it will be four in a row at home. And they’ve been very good on the road. Even in their two losses to Utah on the road both games were super tight.

Utah looks like they are about to choke this one away.
