Russell up Kawhi to Book KD & CP3 for a show in the desert.. Official Clippers(#5) vs Suns(#4) 1st Round Thread

[LexDiamonds]

They got to the 7th through a cake schedule to end the season. The players they got in trade been playing like shyt the last few weeks.

Beasley is the shooter who can't shoot, Vanda can't do Shyt but play defense
And DLO is miserable playing with Bron and it's showing.

So what the fukk was the point of trading Russ then? Rui was still there, as was Reaves. Hell, they coulda kept Thomas Bryant too for bench scoring.

So, fukk u nikka.



And You were one of the nikkas talking shyt earlier.

Even with those guys underperforming it's still a better roster than what they had before. Dlo put up 17, 6, and 3 on 46/39/85 splits with the Lakers. He had a shytty game two, but was strong in game one. Let's see if he bounces back.

Vanderbilt doesn't score but provides excellent wing defense and is a strong rebounder. Beasley has struggled at 35% from 3 but his volume is high and teams still have to account for him.

All 3 of them were key in turning around the season but we'll see how things go for the rest of the playoffs.

Edit: It's way too early to say Dlo is miserable playing with Lebron. After wins he's constantly making goat noises when Lebron is being interviewed postgame. You can say he's miserable after a loss.

Eh that’s disingenuous. Clips were in every one of these games competitively and Sabo was the reason for it.

Yeah I was clearly trolling with that response cause I've seen it being said about others.

Kawhi just needs to go ahead and retire. If you need to load manage for half of the entire regular season, and you somehow STILL can't stay healthy for the playoffs, then why are you even on the team?

Phoenix bench had 9 points tonight.

They need payne back in a bad way

Not sure what to think of with the Suns. They got a free ride this series with the injuries.

They're a team with no chemistry & no bench.Just getting by on KD's gravity & Bookers scoring talent.If they were able to gel after getting KD, I think they'd win these games more convincingly.They're trying to win post season games with preseason chemistry.KD's nowhere close to being fully integrated into the offense.It's crazy how he's averaging 28 a game simply by picking his spots here & there;while mostly acting as a decoy.The guy's just a gifted, efficient scorer.If the Suns take care of the Clippers, I think he'll start cooking against the Nuggets.They're more finesse/less physical on defense than the Clips.The Clips got some dawgs out there.Plus Russ has been a head hunting, mad man on defense this series.The Nuggets don't have nothing like that.I think the Suns would have an easier time scoring against the Nuggets, but they'll have to work harder on defense obviously.Murray is a Suns killer for sure.You know Jokic will get his.We'll see if it happens.

Lmaooooooooo ok

Even who dikkrides KD endlessly sees through this fraudulent Suns team. Need KD playing 44 minutes to beat a team without their 2 best players

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Nobody retires from The NBA…The NBA retires you. What nikka is going to turn down guaranteed money while it’s available?

 

[Mars]

Notice how NBA players always showing Russ love and giving him credit. It's only fans that try to discredit and downplay everything he's done.

But yet, KD left Russ...

So we can't be critical of Westbrook's game? You gotta be deaf, dumb and blind not to see the flaws in his game.

As mid as he is he can get to the rim and provide some pace who’s is where Phoenix has been at their best
