A late night poole party

Yup, he heard me bitch at him. Not good first half, total domination 2nd half. Kuminga was the 2nd best player out there. The defense was on point, DDV locked down PG...and no Curry or Wiggins.

Westbrook is a team killer, he had as many shots as Kawhi, you can't win that way. Love the guy's hustle and athleticism and all but he just cannot accept his limitations. Should almost never take 3s.

They are sucking me in again. Maybe they are flipping the switch on D. If they have Payton back for the playoffs and the rest of the team healthy maybe they are contenders after all. Getting out of the West especially, no one is dominant. Still need to see what the KD Suns are like though.

With steph likely return on sunday, we are moving towards a suns/warriors round 1

Which kinda sucks, that's a WCF kind of matchup.

 

[msgkings322]

Playoff rotation will be Big 3, Looney, Wiggins, Poole, DDV, Kuminga, Payton

If they are focused on defense that's a team no one wants to play. Steve Kerr has never lost a Western conference playoff series in 9 years of coaching. He's 18-0 in those

12 shots is ok for Russ. The bigger question should be why did Kawhi only attempt 12 shots? That would be more my concern because 12 shots for Russ isn't bad since he is a starter. No comment on Gordon attempting 16 shots?

You're right about Kawhi That's on the coach I guess.

But still Russ needs to stop with the 3s. He's like Draymond taking those.

Yeah i agree. His 3's should be at 2 or 3 attempts per game at most

On a team with Kawhi and PG he doesn't need to focus on scoring. Use the 3 twice a game to keep the defense honest, use your athleticism to drive and then distribute if you can't get to the hoop. Get rebounds and assists.

If you told me back in October that Miami would have the same record as the Warriors and a better record than the suns in early march, i would have thought they would be a top 2 seed in the east

But, they are not.

They acquired Gordon to be a shooter. Lue probably told him he had the green light since he's a SG and RW is the PG.

It doesn’t make any sense why the Clippers are playing so bad.

 

[DJ Fieri]

So....

0-4 for Westbrook since he joined the Clippers, tonight?

Yep.

Off game shooting, 3 of 12 and 6 assists to 4 TOs but everybody shot poorly other than Leonard and PLumlee.

Cannot blame last night on him.

Off the next 2 days.....the wife is leaving with her two sisters on Sat for St Louis to see their stepdad......let us see what type of shenanigans old Deej can get into while she is gone.

For sure going to La Parrilla on Saturday early evening for chips, salsa, beef queso dip and guac (most likely) and 3-4 tacos.

Brunson is outperforming that contract he signed with the Knicks.....well below the max.

24ppg, 6.2apg, 3.6rpg. 48.5% and 41%.

Damn.

She comes back Monday.

You calling me a fucking mouse, CL?

The Knicks are primed to get the next disgruntled superstar.

They have a solid nucleus and have stockpiled a shit ton of picks.....
