Man, if the Lakers and Clippers both lose in the 1st round.....the 2nd round will be very interesting between those 4 teams and a ratings dud.

Real NBA fans doesn't care about ratings

Yeah but the companies focused on the ratings could give a shit less who are real NBA fans lol

He actually already said he's opting out since last year. The bigger question is will he return or sign elsewhere but he's opting out for sure

Just like CP.

This isn't just about 1 bad game as Shannon said. He disappeared in the big moments Games 5-7 vs Denver last year as well.

Sure.

But this isn’t a player in an all time great track. He is merely a very good player who will go down as top 5-10 from his era.

Players on that tier don’t have legacies diminished over a couple bad playoff appearances. He has had too many good ones.

If the Clippers get knocked out of the first round, I see Kawhi going the Heat. They are a contending team with an already established culture that is one star player away from winning a ring. Pretty much what he had in Toronto except with a much warmer climate.

So much for the defense of PG and the Clippers.....can't even slow down Luka.

Is Ibaka hurt? Whatever is wrong with him is affecting the Clippers a ton, he is a huge piece to this team. With as much talent that is in this league, it’s just so difficult to win with a main piece out.

Back issues

It's funny after usual talk about lower seeds being tough outs and all that, the East seeds advancing are 1,2,3,4 and in the west it's 1,2,3 and either 4 or 5.

Seeding matters

The Lakers were supposed to be the exception but the seeding of 7 correctly accounted for their injury risk

Dallas going to take care of business

Bullshit call on Morris
