    Yea, him and Luka would be a scary duo. Most likely a championship dynasty.

    Yeah, you're right, he and Luka would be great together. How well do you think Porzingis would fit with those two? Seems like it could work, especially if they brought in a bunch of 3 and D guys who could hit open shots. That would be a scary team.

    think dallas is preserving the space to try and make that happen. their gm was set on drafting giannis until cuban made him trade down to save money for FA (yikes...), so they've been fans from the beginning. those two and zinger would be pretty terrifying, tbh. hell, just those two is enough to contend.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they try to move Porzingis if they got Giannis. Luka + Giannis is all the star power you need. Porzingis would be a very expensive third option who would never have the ball in his hands. You'd be better off signing a couple 3 and d wings.

    i think with his injury history and contract, he's probably not easily movable. when he's healthy, he's great, though. and with two other stars you could really mothball him/limit his minutes.

    Clippers aren't losing to the Nuggets just like the Crockets aren't beating the Lakers.

    Collision course in the WCF will be LA vs LA. Barring a major injury from one of the stars, nothing is changing it.

    as stated previously, there's really nothing any team can do to stop the clippers in a 7-game series right now

    There is still time for them to "Clip," which the Oxford English Dictionary defines as "manifesting an improbable and disastrous season-ending event."

    In a non-sporting context: "The date was going well, but the nachos I had earlier in the day caused me to s*** my pants in the restaurant in front of everyone, including my parents who were coincidentally in the booth across from us."

    I mean, the Nuggets sort of choked the game away. End of the first half and fourth quarter were sad. I’m not seeing this unbeatable monster that you’re suggesting of the Clippers.

    the clippers are just far too deep for the nuggets to beat them in a 7 game series

    if PG has a bad game, lou steps up. if lou or harrell has a bad game, PG steps up

    They failed to do something Lebron won't : hunt Lou defensively

    They are stacked...and will be unanimously favored over us. Should we get past Houston that will be narrative. Embrace it...love it! It is a good position for us. Gives us tight focus with quiet confidence with steely resolve.

    Clippers are not gonna be favored over a team that has Lebron and AD on it and a team that will end up waxing the two "scariest" teams in the league. Clippers are the second best team in the west and the Lakers will take them out in 6.

    I don't think The Other L.A. Team has been challenged so far. I like being the underdog. Give us the opportunity to punch them in the mouth to serve notice.
