Luka.. Wow!

rhigh2390 · 08-23-2020, 05:41 PM

Boy are the Clips a mess. Feel bad for Kawhi. His other "star" is completely gone mentally.

Said it at the beginning of the year, but only one team in the league has 2 top 5 stars. They are a safe bet to win it all.

Devi8or · 08-23-2020, 05:41 PM

Crazy, you know that shot was going up, shoulda had Kawhi on him the whole time

Man, remember when everyone said the Clippers were just gonna run right over the Mavs. The Clippers seem to have no answer on their team. They are basically Kawhi and a bunch of other guys.

They have that George guy.

"The L.A. Clippers have acquired six-time NBA All-Star Paul George from the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, forward Danilo Gallinari and the Clippers’ first round draft picks in 2022, 2024 and 2026, along with two first-round choices via Miami (2021 and 2023), and OKC obtained the right to swap first-round picks in 2023 and 2025, it was announced today by President of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank."

This was Kawhi's reason for signing with LAC

RogerGodahell · 08-23-2020, 05:46 PM

Wow! That was epic. Legendary playoff performance for Luka.

Sprained ankle and could barely walk, down 21 and then this masterpiece. What a comeback. Finishes it off with the game winning 3 at the buzzer. It doesn't get any better than that. He's got the heart of a champion.

ninjacookies · 08-23-2020, 05:46 PM

PG's line coming into tonight:

31%/24%/%37EFG

Stuff to make 1st year Lonzo blush.

Clips' only chance at winning this series is to significantly reduce his minutes or bench him.

brothertona · 08-23-2020, 05:46 PM

George Paul needs to show up.

Justin7 · 08-23-2020, 05:46 PM

I couldn't have written a better Luka story if I tried.

Not me. I thought this was one of the better matchups. Star power on both teams. Dallas is a solid team.

Dang so all those go down further?

KhalDrogo · 08-23-2020, 05:47 PM

Story couldn’t be written any better for that performance.

Bum ankle
No KP
Brushes off racist Harrell
21 point comeback
40 point triple double
Game winning step back 3 in OT

I don't think this was the Paul George he was meaning to sign up with. PG was never going to be on AD level, but he wasn't expected to be an end of the bench guy either.

As crazy as that sounds; yes. He managed to lower those averages today.

Un-real.

Dude was 3rd in MVP voting last season.

I don’t get his deal.

So no pump thread for PG-13?

brothertona · 08-23-2020, 05:49 PM

What's crazy is it could be argued that the Clippers would be just as good if they had never made the Paul George trade and somehow convinced Kawhi to still come. I really wish they had chosen Westbrook instead.

The Clips will regret that loss. I think they lose the series because of it. It's bold, but i think they do. Their defense has been bad and they haven't made enough adjustments. They figured out in the 4th a way to disrupt Luka defensively, but going small and switching everything isn't gonna work with Porzingis playing cuz he'll be in there down the stretch.

Doc Rivers really made some huge mistakes today. Jackson being in there at the end of the 4th and OT, even for offense, doesn't make sense to me. I get Lou. He carried the Clippers but Reggie?

He’s a head case. Which is the worst kind of player.
