The 2025 NBA playoffs

after Dort flagranted Morant off the floor

Nah. Dort had nowhere to go. Ja plays like Iverson and Rose, absolutely fearless attacking the basket. This isn't the first time he's been hurt and won't be the last either. Dort had nowhere to go.

Here's 2 angles. The initial one looks bad. The second one shows Dort is falling backwards though and Ja ran into him rather than Dort being dirty.

3 undercuts (intentional or otherwise) on 3 superstars in the last 3 days. Butler, Tatum and now Ja.

That’s a problem of the NBA’s own making - allowing rougher play in the playoffs, allowing dirty players like Green and the idiot that injured CP3 to keep playing led to this

3 undercuts (intentional or otherwise) on 3 superstars in the last 3 days. Butler, Tatum and now Ja.

holy crap the whole clipper team was in double figures

Dort was still reaching high and pulled Morant's arm to cause him losing balance, despite fully aware of losing his own body control already. Had he just slipped without reaching and pulling, Morant'd just have jumped over him or at least kept his own upper body more upstraight to mitigate the evtl fall. That's reckless move by Dort to say the least, worse than undercutting a jump shooter. The same Dort undercut Pippen Jr. later in the game, again, this time withheld his body in the last moment to reduce impact, probably cos the latter weren't superstar like Morant. Dort has been dirty all the time.

What team were you watching? Not even all their starters scored in double figures. I know it was a blowout but Dunn, Bogdanovich, and Simmons are all rotation players who didn't reach double figures.

I don’t think we could get Franz but Book would be nice in Orlando.

I was thinking Suggs. He's got an injury right now but he'd be a good piece to start a rebuild with. Maybe Suggs and the other Wagner, Moritz, who is a Center but more of a Vucevic type. He's still young though. Orlando would be a team I could root for from afar with Book there and they also have some hefty contracts to make it work like Isaac and KCP.

The whole team might be a figure of speech, and with 6 players in double figures, 4 starters, I think it's close enough. Good for the Clippers.

 

[leclerc]

Orlando and Houston would be stupid to trade for KD. They will be power houses going forward by just adding to the core and letting them grow together. But maybe we're not the only team ran by stupid people. No offence.
