And Cousins might have torn his quad.

Budenholzer is probably going to win Coach of the Year and isn't a bad choice at all but I think it should be Doc. This Clippers team had no business making the playoffs, especially after letting go of Harris, and what happened last night was ridiculous.

Damn. Once the lead got to close to 30 last night I didn't think twice about turning the game off.

Philly destroyed the Nets by doing what a team with an advantage inside is supposed to do.

They played foul line down and refused to fall victim to analytics basketball.

Embiid eschewed the 3 point shot and Simmons played to his strength all night long. Hopefully they can continue this going forward.

honestly Brown seems like a complete idiot
i'm starting to think he's the true problem

I have felt that way since last season's playoffs.

Finally got around to benching McConnell and never seems to make any adjustments.

A real coach would have been figured out a way to counter people sagging off of Simmons. Simmons can still be effective even if guys play off of him. It actually makes it easier to get to the paint.

He can also play him off the ball and allow Butler and Harris to run the 1.

He definitely isn't a championship level coach. Unless he shows something as of yet unseen.

Spurs are cracking. Gotta get Aldridge back posting up.

Murray on fire!

Not often you see the Spurs play like this in the playoffs.

This is the Murray I want to see if Denver advances. Sucks he only shows up 1 of every 3 games.

Play like this the last quarter. They were very good the first 3.

God Isaiah is the worst color guy
He just keeps repeating the exact same thing over and over

Yeah no doubt, earlier in the game it looked like the series was over.

I fully expect this to go back to Denver tied at 2-2 and winner of that game win the series. Maybe SA goes back to Denver up 3-1. I’d be pretty surprised if Denver wins the next two.

I liked him saying Jokic shouldn’t settle for 3s and should look for 17 footers instead. Good basketball mind. Not sure how he failed as a GM.

It’s cool seeing Portland play like this after choking for years in the playoffs.

So now an all time great doesn't know the difference between a good and bad shot. For the record he used to win Championships by telling Laimbeer to take the exact same shot

Are you saying 17 footers are better than 3 point shots? So now you are saying you are right and literally the entire basketball community is wrong? Stop with this nonsense.

Worth mentioning that your Thunder are getting their asses kicked because Portland is better at shooting 3s

They also shot threes better than N.O. last year and still got their asses swept.

Keep thinking 17 footers are better shots than 3 point shots. Great insight.

Depends on who takes them. Jokic only shoots 30% from 3. Thus it's a bad shot for him. So yeah I will continue thinking it is.

Keep thinking you know more than an NBA Hall of Famer. Yeah great insight.

He’s a 34.5% from career and 40% last year.

Stop with the dumb HOFer shit. If your argument is “HOFers can’t make dumb comments”, which it is, it’s not worth continuing to respond to.

He shoots 30% this season. At what point will the lying simply stop? You're embarrassing yourself and if you think you know more about basketball than Isaiah Thomas newsflash you don't.

You couldn't even watch Jokic and see that he was terrible defensively. Watch the game tonight and they are doubling Alridge from the opening tipoff.

Now you are going to proceed to know what is and isn't a good shot. Why because John Hollinget said so?

If Jokic isn't a good 3 point shooter which the numbers say he isn't then a 17 footer is a better shot.

I didn’t lie in my previous post and I never said I know more about basketball than Isiah Thomas. I said it was a dumb comment because it is. Just shut the fuck up about all this and go to sleep.

I usually know better than to engage in this nonsense like most other posters always have but got caught in the ltg trap tonight
