Excited for it, worried about zu getting cooked by Kyrie and luka tho. On the other hand if lively is out zu should be able to score at will, and the clippers have both luka and Kyrie to attack in mismatches.

I’m more worried about the second round. You may say not to get ahead of my horses, but – given our history – playing againt the Nuggets in the second round would be exhausting and more likely to hurt our health.

The west is hard. We have a squad. Low expectations keeps it fun.

We need a megathread for this, cause the same question is being asked multiple times a day

I’m curious to see if they’d put PJ on Luka. He def gave Jokic a bit of trouble

With the way they’ve been playing recently they play more like the 2nd or 3rd seed and we play more like the 6th seed (even with Kawhi playing). They might cook us

If we have Mavs in a potential matchup, these Clippers are ready and gonna win this time. They’ve beaten them during this season and definitely will if they’re locked in on defense.

I think we have the experience factor in our non allstar players. PJ Washington, Gafford, Lively etc are playing in their first playoff series I believe. They may not understand the moment. Luka and Kyrie will be tough to cover but we have way too much firepower. Clips in 6. If #2 is healthy, hard to bet he’s not gonna be the best player in the series.

Annoyed because my second favorite player is Kyrie after Westbrook. One matchup I didn’t want in the entire playoffs and I got it

If PG handles business it’s not an issue, but whens the last time he did?

I feel really good. The reason is because I actually had a zoom call with Kyrie yesterday and I convinced him that the midichlorian levels are too high in the crypto arena so he’s not gonna play our home games.
As for Luka I bribed him with a day old chicken sandwich and two cigarettes and he assured me he’ll “throw his back out” after game 3.
I also had a phone call with Mark Cuban and threatened to release all his racist rants secretly recorded by his mistress and he was so scared that he promised me we’ll win in 5.
You’re welcome everyone. Now if you’ll excuse me I gotta serve a prison sentence for extortion and blackmail.

We smash them like the last two times.

You guys defeat the Mavs and everyone else is easy peasy. You win the ring. This pairing is the Finals.

First few games I can see PG, Kawhi, PJ and Russ having goes at guarding luka to see what works. You cant shut down both Luka and Kyrie, just gotta hope one had a bad game.

Kawhi on Kyrie PG on Luka (no iso, force him into double by the closest guy They don’t have a big (which is our Achilles heel) that is a crazy offense threat (Kristaps, Jokic, Sabonis). Contain Time Hardaway Jr who all plays good against us!!
Am I crazy?
