Batum is a monster.
Jorcic is the joker on offense, but he is a joke on defense
Clippers need to put their foot on the necks of the Nuggets. As a Laker fan id prefer not to potentially see the Clippers but I’d like to start the wheels in motion for a Luka Jokic pairing lol. While Bron is 45 and taking a vet minimum of course. That’s a big 3 (no defense of course lol).
Desmond bane doesn't have the size? You do know that he's 6'5 right? He's legitimately the same height as J dub 🥴 Google is free bro
Starts at 2:55
This comment section has some of the worst jokic takes I’ve ever seen.
28:43 What you're forgetting is the dozens of dirty plays Amen Thompson HAS been penalized for. This isnt a one-off.
Also, in the slow-mo of the play you can CLEARLY see how Amen LOOKS at Jimmy's legs before diving towards them hands/arms first to make sure he takes his legs from under him AND doesn't do ANYTHING to prevent the collision, quite the contrary, and also he goes far enough forward afterwards so he doesn't break Jimmy's fall with his body.
It's a disgusting, dirty play and they are TAUGHT these kind of plays exactly to make it LOOK accidental, while knowing fully well what they're doing.
Again, I fear for Steph's health if he happens to go of in game 3…
28:43 Oh and that smile from the trainer on the bench towards Amen RIGHT AFTER the play REALLY says it all as well.
THEY ARE NOT THERE TO PLAY BASKETBALL. THEY ARE THERE TO FOUL THEIR WAY THROUGH THIS ROUND. 😤😤
Nic Batum is 1 of the best role players in the NBA.. the No Dip C&S 3s are unreal & his overall IQ on the defensive end is a massive help to the Clippers bench
29:16 STOP SAYING THAT. AMEN DID NOT GET TRIPPED. WATCH IT AGAIN FFS! 😤😤
1 thing I've learned over the 1st week of the playoffs that all teams need to work on .. Mid game jump ball sequences… No one in the NBA can execute them besides Bron,Joker & Draymond 🤷🏾♂️
The Knicks guys play normal minutes in a game they look like a real east contender 🤷🏾♂️ crazy isn't it.. Imagine if Kats knees weren't cooked from playing 40 minutes a nite for 70 games

Imagine if Kats knees weren't cooked from playing 40 minutes a nite for 70 games this year, or OG,Hart & Mikal hadn't a eraged 42minutes a GM on the season.. they'd probably have a lot left in the tank for the postseason 🤷🏾♂️

I tweeted out as soon as Ja got hurt that OKC was gonna win this game.. you could literally see the life /belief leave the players & arena when the injury happened 🤷🏾♂️ Easiest collapse to see coming
I disagree completely regarding Dort's play being reckless. He was chasing a breakaway, and when the pass went behind him, he merely tried to turn to follow the ball and then slipped. To say he should not spin to see where the ball was going is silly, imo. He then slipped and the only reason he didn't fall is because Ja's impact held him up. Ofc I agree that it was not intentional, but I don't think it's realistic to expect him to do anything else in that situation. Here's hoping Ja recovers quickly.
OKC has the 6'3to 6'5 guys .. If the Lakers get 2 the WCF & they make it there healthy.. they'll make it an interesting series.

What makes it worse is they were down 30 when it happened 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
What makes it worse, when Dort took Ja out, they were down 30 when it happened 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Memphis actually tried attacking SGA several times that bogged their offense down even worse than it was
The Darvin Ham effect will end up cooking the Bucks🤷🏾♂️
Darvin Ham starting Prince @the POA defender again will sink this ship just like it sunk LAs🤷🏾♂️
Thats absolutely not true. They did try and attack shai in the 4th but gave up after it stopped working.
Nuggets, bar Jokic, are already on vacation. And Jokic needs to find a better organisation. Sad.
It should be 3-0 Clippers 😅. A gentleman sweep will do. I guess Zubach for MVP now since he's been stealing Jokers lunch money 😅
I'm a young viewer but, honestly Luka, hali and cp3 clear jokic as passers for me. He gets easy reads coz he so big so you know they gonna leave the worst shoter to help everytime and he hits cuters but so does every top tier playmaker which he is, but not luka lvl for me
They sent doubles and triples at kawhi after his game 2 performance. Was a big factor in clips making more threes and getting a high number of points
My favorite lebron pass is the hammer play baseline pass. To Dunleavy is the most famous example.
This guy need to be more like KOC and drop his lakers fandom like he did his boston and be more of a journalist thats not bias.
Al Horford and Nic Batum. 2 gays that give it their ALL at over 36 years old no matter what. Always loved their game.
Clippers best defensive team in the NBA currently
disappointed by the lack of aggressiveness in the offense after the first quarter by Denver and that has been the story since Game 1
Luka is the best player in the world and it’s not even close. When you are averaging Michael Jordan domination numbers it shouldn’t even be a topic for discussion.
It’s crazy how different you treated Jimmy vs Ja. You’re afraid to say a player is dirty bc it would put you in a controversial light as a media pundit. Dirty does not have to mean intent to injure, it can mean content with putting yourself in defensive scenarios where you can’t get a stop but jeapordize everyone safety as a result of lack of defensive discipline and strategy. Amen and Dort are dirty because they refuse to stop doing the things that keep injuring players. They don’t care. And it’s reckless. With that said you completely dismissed amens injury of Jimmy.
I don't know why this "OKC has trouble against big wings" narrative is still ongoing. Lu Dort is 6'3 but build like a tank, J-Dub is 6'6 but got 7'2 wingspan with enough strength, they can still use Chet on Lebron. Are we watching the same Lebron? He is not surgical heli-offense operator like Luka at his 40, OKC has more than enough tools to cover them. Creating a weakness which is not there doesn't make sense to me.
Jason you are a joke. LeBron is one of the best passers you have ever seen ? Are you serious. ? Another clutch paid goofball .
