NBA Season Part 2: Life In The Orlando Bubble

There's several bigger storylines of interest and to watch (battle of LA, Kawhi and PG.13 vs the team they stood up, Morris bro battle, etc.) and not to count chickens, but if we get to see Beverly vs Rondo, I'm bringing popcorn.

 

they definitely tightened up and choked the game away -- it was very frustrating to watch... no one's saying they're gonna sweep their way through the playoffs, but in the long run, their consistent production will edge out these series... our intensity and level of basketball is progressing nicely at the moment, so i highly anticipate an LAL-lac WCF... if anyone can knock them off, it's us!

 

I'm with this. Sorry if my response came as overly defensive. I'm just tired of the unbeatable, ESPN force-fed jugglernaut. I do see the Clips as a tough opponent and a very real contender, but we're right there with them.

 

no apology needed; great discussions always welcome!

and i totally get it, the media is so hard for this whole clippers story... just look at how they reacted to kawhi's block the other night... they've been drunk on this narrative since day 1, and we're the only thing that can bring it to an end.

 

yeah, clips are good, and i'd probably put money on them against us. but it could definitely go the other way. they have weaknesses, and we can exploit those.

gotta get past the gimmick dynasty first.

Did we effed up not going after Kemba? I always asked myself this, this season lol. BIG NO

 

If game 7 is half as exhausting as that one, a well rested Miami will be the favorites in the next round.

 

This should have been over in 5 games , Foston gave game 3 and 6 away , you really hate to see it !

Raptors are a very favorable matchup for them ... Mostly on Stevens for inexplicably guarding the inbound with 0.5 to go in Game 3.

Game 6 loss is on Tatum and Walker .

 

I was just watching a Lakers Nation video that quoted Kemba himself, saying we were one of the teams that did pursue him.

 

feel like miami's going to turn into a pumpkin in the next round. they're playing so much better than they were most of the season.

i was on record saying i'd take him. that said, he's a small scoring guard who's hitting 30, right? that's usually something to avoid.

he was great for them this year, though. he single-handedly won them a few games i watched. tatum gets all the credit, but their offense depends heavily on walker.

 

I want a 4th win in the Finals against the green turds.

That would mean the 0-9 start turns to 4-1 the last 5 meetings. And of course, ties for 17.

 

Conflicted / just want to beat Clippers / get there and beat whomever

 

Clippers should lose tonight.
When Tony Brothers refferee for Denver they are 18-2 in last games.
