I was gonna call Mark Jones a coli militant but I see he already got the 1968 olympic photo as his avy :dead:

Militant gang spreading like wildfire :mjgrin:

Ultimately, everyone knows Jokic and Luka aren't exactly on superteams and don't have a Greg Popovich as a head coach... but tbh too bad, so sad.

Context hardly mattered when it came to shyttin on Giannis, Embiid, Harden, Dame, KD, etc., despite any combo of shythead owners, dumbass gms, incompetent coaches, and shyt luck injuries to key pieces. Just like with the black/afrikan stars, the euro boys wil have their flaws magnified regardless of fairness and if either or both end up winning later (like Giannis and KD did), the past will largely be swept under the rug. This is nothing new.

iow, Luka crashing and burning out of playoff contention with his shyt playstyle... Jokic getting lit up in PnR coverage and bounced out R2.. if it happens they'll get shat on and meme'd but oh well. They wouldn't be the first or last to deal with it.

Clippers just aren't good enough to win with just PG or Kawhi
They need them both and both to be playing like All Stars

They'll have to both be playing at the level they were at vs UTA 2 years ago, and even then it ain't guaranteed.

I mentioned earlier this year (before the Russ trade) that even if everyone is healthy, they gotta fix their offense because relying on Kawhi to go Game 6 vs DAL mode just to make it out the 1st round (like in '20 and '21) wouldn't be good enough this year. Even tho they largely have the same players, this is a far worse offense (and defense) than their previous two playoff teams.

Calm down. Tatum scored 50 against the Wizards.

Scott Brooks had Raul Neto guarding him as the team’s starting SF. :russ:
:unimpressed: And then he went on to drop 50 AGAIN in a Playoff win over a fully healthy Harden/KD/Kyrie trio with Evan Fournier, Tristan Thompson, and a broken down Kemba in the starting lineup with him
