Bubble Suns Clippers GT

[ArbitraryWater]

Clips playing forreal or why they down?

[fourkicks44]

Cam Johnson looks aight.

I questioned if he could hang in the league pre draft but he has come along nicely.

[Tobio-Star]

Struggling with the trash ass Suns. Where my Flippers stans at?

[KD7]

Booker :bowdown:

[Tobio-Star]

And this is with Lou playing :lol

[L8krH8tr]

Suns are playing like the Warriors today.. Clips got owned by Booker and Rubio

[fourkicks44]

You can say what you will about Booker.

And most criticism is valid.

But he can sure as hell shoot a basketball.

[Tobio-Star]

Suns are playing like the Warriors today.. Clips got owned by Booker and Rubio

Now imagine what LeBron and AD will do to them

[L8krH8tr]

Now imagine what LeBron and AD will do to them

Are willing to be your account on it? So far no Faker fans on this board will take a friendly account bet with me.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

George is doing his best at choking the game away but Kawhi Jordan ain't having none of that.

[L8krH8tr]

Dam BOOKER!

[SATAN]

Booker slaying Leonard

[LoneyROY7]

Book definitely has some Kobe in him, boy.

[Tobio-Star]

Damn Booker tho

[KD7]

OMFG :bowdown::bowdown::roll:

[KOBEtherealKing]

Book definitely has some Kobe in him, boy.

Indeed.

[ArbitraryWater]

why did Zubac throw that :roll::roll:

call a TO you dumbass

[Tobio-Star]

Are willing to be your account on it? So far no Faker fans on this board will take a friendly account bet with me.

No thanks

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Zubac literally threw the game away damn. And George better not choke like that in the playoffs

[Hey Yo]

LOL @ Kawhit

[Tobio-Star]

Zubac literally threw the game away damn. And George better not choke like that in the playoffs

You can bet on that baby boi

[KD7]

That was insane, nikka did a Kobe

[L8krH8tr]

No thanks

because you're not confident enough for the WCF when you get owned when it really matters.

[Tobio-Star]

That was insane, nikka did a Kobe

This is what I mean by great offense beats great defense

You can defend all you want, if you dont block the shot and the guy is 100% focus its going in period.

That said, defense can be the difference maker for a championship team

[Tobio-Star]

because you're not confident enough for the WCF when you get owned when it really matters.

Not really, I have never bet in my life and never will

[L8krH8tr]

Not really, I have never bet in my life and never will

ok I can respect that, you seem like a Respectable Faker fan unlike most.

[Hey Yo]

PHX 17-33 from 3.... that's great offense.

[Tobio-Star]

ok I can respect that, you seem like a Respectable Faker fan unlike most.

Do you really hate the Lakers or just hate LeBron?

[Lebron23]

ok I can respect that, you seem like a Respectable Faker fan unlike most.

Clippers always under achieved in the post season.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Doc playing that piece of shit Shamet late in 4th quarter and suns picking on him every play, George airballing a 3 and missing a layup late 4th quarter, zubac throwing the ball to suns last play.

How does Kawhi deal with these *****. Harrell needs to return ASAP, their 2nd best player this year.

[highwhey]

suns fan been knowing how cold book is https://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/win.png

[L8krH8tr]

Do you really hate the Lakers or just hate LeBron?

It's the organization and fans I passionately hate sine 1998. I was actually a Shotime Laker fans, most of their fake fanbase doesn;t even know who played back then. Imagine mentioning Sedalle Threat to them.

[highwhey]

wet like i'm book

[KD7]

Suns would easily be in the playoffs if Rubio & Ayton didn't miss so many games, they're like 3-0 now in the bubble

[red1]

booker shitting directly in paul george and kawhi's mouths on that last play.


kawhi gets bailed out with two freethrows and booker still shits in their mouth. :eek:

[Tobio-Star]

Doc might be the reason you guys lose to us

Also, if Harrell is your 2nd best player you're in for a rude awakening

[Clippersfan86]

I'm so ****ing mad. Clippers have sucked all year vs the Suns. The defense today was horseshit. These kind of games make me doubt our title chances. Like seriously. Booker outplayed our stars.

[KD7]

Clutchest shooting guard in the NBA (sorry Harden)

Doc is an idiot but Kawhi made a lot of mistakes on both ends man. He got torched by Booker all game H2H and started like 1-8. He's not blameless.

[Tobio-Star]

It's the organization and fans I passionately hate sine 1998. I was actually a Shotime Laker fans, most of their fake fanbase doesn;t even know who played back then. Imagine mentioning Sedalle Threat to them.

Okay I understand. Basically you hate bandwagons?

[LoneyROY7]

Clippers could **** around and fall outta the top 3 seeds. :oldlol:

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Doc is an idiot but Kawhi made a lot of mistakes on both ends man. He got torched by Booker all game H2H and started like 1-8. He's not blameless.

I didn't see Booker do much when Kawhi guarded him, it was on switches only. Shamet got torched mid 4th quarter and that's what cost them. I like to see the data on that. Zubac kept leaving Ayton wide open for jump shots.

Kawhi was taking over the 4th quarter with his scoring and George/Zubac killed the momentum with their boneheaded plays (air ball 3, missed layup by George and also Zubac pass).

All in all its just 1 meaningless game. But clippers hopefully learned their lesson

- do not play shamet ever again in a 4th quarter during a close game

- keep going to Kawhi in clutch time if he has it going

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Clippers could **** around and fall outta the top 3 seeds. :oldlol:

Playing Lakers in 2nd round when Kawhi is still very fresh doesn't sound all that bad though.

[LoneyROY7]

Playing Lakers in 2nd round when Kawhi is still very fresh doesn't sound all that bad though.

By all means, we'll gladly take Denver in round 2.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Doc might be the reason you guys lose to us

Also, if Harrell is your 2nd best player you're in for a rude awakening

Harrell is basically a 20/10 guy if he got the minutes. At least I'm not depending on Kuzma in the playoffs hahaha

[fsvr54]

I'm so ****ing mad. Clippers have sucked all year vs the Suns. The defense today was horseshit. These kind of games make me doubt our title chances. Like seriously. Booker outplayed our stars.

It's the regular season against the Suns. You think Clippers are going to blow their whole load on this meaningless game? They're a playoff lock, Ws don't really matter right now until the playoffs roll around.

Shamet has been out the last few months and then he had covid. He is going to be a useful role player believe me. The only reason he closed the game today though is because Pat Beverley is injured. If anything Lou Williams caused far more problems today. I don't think Lou Williams help one bit on either ends of the floor.

[Tobio-Star]

Lets just act like you guys arent depending on playoffs P's performance.

Harrell wont touch the ball when he goes against Davis

lol Wow the excuses. Sure didn't look like Kawhi and PG wanted to lose when they were guarding Book on that game winner.

Btw Denver is right on their asses.

[Tobio-Star]

Exactly. When the Lakers played the Raptors, you could see that they didnt really care

But you could also see that Kawhi was mad as hell they lost to to the 29-39 Suns

Great point about Beverly missing. If he doesn't leave, clippers win. Also, clippers seem to always play bad in earlier time zone games. Cali boys George and kawhi play better in games 5pm-7pm.

Lou did look god awful today I also agree with that. He is in clippers best 4 man lineup this season though but I guess he sucks ass without Harrell.

Zubac actually was dominating before that pass he made, so that was also a good thing.

[L8krH8tr]

Suns were playing like the Warriors out there. People keep forgetting 7 GAME SERIES... Who is going to beat the Clippers 4 games out 7? the experience,deep bench will overcome all. Haters are just praying that they stink up the joint.

Also people are forgetting what HARRELL did to the Warriors in the playoffs last year. Him, Beverely, Lou still ready for that business.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Lets just act like you guys arent depending on playoffs P's performance.

Harrell wont touch the ball when he goes against Davis

The problem is Lebron shoots like shit vs Kawhi. So you're relying on the beta Anthony Davis to win a series vs elite team, not going to happen.

[Clippersfan86]

Exactly. as angering as that loss was the Clippers were basically missing their third+fourth best player again (Pat played like 1 quarter then went out injured). Our 5th best player decided a strip club was more important and had no stamina or flow after 10 days in a hotel. Combine that with the fact that Paul George came back to Earth today. Doc coaching like an idiot .

Zubac showed what he can do. He is #1 in points generated by screens on a per minute basis. To go with #1 offensive rebound % and #2 rim D. Hes just gotta stop the dumb mistakes!

Yeah I was wrong about Zubac/Noah. Zubac is the way better player at this point in their careers. Zubac just needs to stop being clumsy.

Beverly is also starting to worry me with his injury prone issues, I feel he's been injured at least 3 or 4 times this season. I think that's why they signed Jackson. At least its not playoffs yet

[ArbitraryWater]

This fcked my parlay but its good...

maybe Book will get the respect he deserves now.

AND the Suns.

This should only serve as reminder to the ignorant, dumb crowd that we are indeed in the deepest basketball era of all time...

this is the kind of basketball the damn 12th seed can produce, against the #1 defense.......

we are in the most talented and deepest era and conference of all time.

scary good.

West has always been stacked. 08-10 probably the deepest it ever was. 8th seeds had 50 wins 2 out of 3 years. Someone's gonna make it in with a sub .500 record this year.

Clips will be fine. Best defender played 8 minutes. Harrell's not back yet. Lou will be fine. Noah showed in the Laker game that he will be a valuable addition come playoff time. My biggest concern is whether Paul George is going to continue ball-hogging in the playoffs when his play falls off.

You just don't get it.

The West hasn't always just been stacked.

50-win count is fraudulent.

There are only so many wins to come around.

When 9-12 are significantly stronger, than obviously 5-8 won't have as many wins.


The 08-10 squads and talent are an absolute joke to the current NBA.

An absolute joke.

That sub .500 team this year will be better than the 50 win team 8th seeds that made it from 08-10..

your peanut brain won't understand how that is possible though.

You cannot compare overall level/quality by comparing records from specific seeds across years.

[Doranku]

What a shot. Got the best perimeter defender in the league to bite, Kobe-esque footwork on the pivot and then the bucket right in PG's grill.

How is it fraudulent? Those 8th seeds went 8 deep & had multiple stars. Nuggets with Melo/AI/Kmart/JR/Camby, Jazz w/ Deron/Boozer/Millsap/AK47/Korver & OKC had KD/WB/Harden/Ibaka/Green.

Portland might be on that level, but they obviously dealt with injuries all year after being in the WCF last season. Either way, the 08-10 WC was stacked, Nash/Shaq/Amare Suns won 46 games and missed the Playoffs, CP3/West/Peja/Hornets were just a 7th seed in '09. The East wasn't bad either w/ three 59+ win teams that were legitimate title contenders, that's how good the league was.

'08 Celtics , '09 & '10 Lakers could beat any contender out there right now. Lebron/AD is a watered down/unclutch version of Kobe & Pau, Kyle Kuzma is our 3rd best player, you think he's better than Odom? What about Danny Green vs Ariza? That Lakers team is #1 in the West :kobe: . The 2020 Bucks are basically the '09 Cavs. I bet Giannis stans will use the same excuses you guys did for '09 Bron if they don't get it done in the Playoffs.

Those teams would all lose to the current Pels/Blazers..

Nuggets with Melo/AI/etc had absolutely no synergy or rhythm.

How do you think the 2008 Lakers swept them?

The 2020 Lakers will not sweep their 8th seed.

Yet, are the 2008 Lakers better than the 2020 Lakers?

Try arguing that.

You'd contradict yourself.

Of course they're not.

We are in the golden age of basketball talent.

The 3-point shot has been maximized and crafted for almost every role player to possess. This is a great equalizer between teams.

The current Blazers would **** up every team in the 2008-2010 West except the Lakers.

Thats how far we've come.

The current Rockets would cruise to the #1 seed in the 2008-10 West.

The 09-10 East had more top level talent than the West. They had 3 contenders to the West's 1. The '09 East even won the H2H overall.

And yet...

they didnt have 8 50-win teams?

Omgz how is that possible, right?!

I thought more 50 win teams = more STACK?!

Your peanut brain won't understand.

And the bolded thing you said is among the dumbest thing you've ever said, which is saying a lot.

How ignorant you are towards legitimate talent in Middleton, Bledsoe, Lopez, is hilarious. That 2-4 absolutely shits on the 2-4 from the Cavs.

Current Pels? With Zion playing 15-25 minutes and "muh young core" with a very limited bench? :kobe:

Current Portland is pretty damn great, but they're not the 8th best team in the West in terms of talent, they were a 3rd seed last season but obviously injuries have them fighting for the 8th spot right now.

The East was top-heavy, you had 3 teams with a legitimate chance to win a championship with a bunch of average teams in the Conference, in the West the Lakers were so much better than everyone else, but the 2-8 were easily better than the East's.

Also, you'd take '09 Lebron/Kobe/Wade over '20 Giannis/Lebron/Kawhi, don't even pretend like you wouldn't.

I don't think the current Rockets are that much better than '08/'10 Suns. Imagine them playing small against Shaq & Amare. :kobe: and Suns had great 3PT shooting and pretty much the same ORTG as well. I don't think some of the stuff today's Rockets do would go by as well in that era.

2008 is a tough one, because you had 4 teams that all could have been the #1 seed, Lakers obviously lost Bynum to injury so that's a tough match-up, not trusting '08 Pau against AD but the '20 Lakers' guards aren't great and Odom is a better 3rd guy than Kuzma, it would be a close series.

The East was so good, the #1 seed lost to the #3 seed, I can't quite remember who those teams were, maybe you can look it up for me. Sounds like quite an upset.
