The Clippers gave up SGA, Gallo and a lifetime of first round picks for Playoff P.

And he was still Brons best competition and the best playoff performer in the Least for years

What does that tell you considering his first 2 years in the West babyboi

That was before he became Playoff P babyboi

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Kawhi scored 732 points last year, looks like he'll need about 900 this year.

[Roundball_Rock]

He was praised as flawless for 41 pages. Crickets now that the playoffs are here.

HBK defense is a problem too. Everybody on Dallas is eating.

Lmao. Bron stans always tear down his best competition for some reason. Dudes are not that smart with their agendas :oldlol:

Beta star. Embarrassing to lose to the Jazz and blazers the last two years in round 1.

Beverly wasn't playing and he's the 2nd best net rating guy with Kawhi. The combo of Lou/Jackson is going to get lit up. Harrell has also only 30 minutes under his plate in last 5 months. Clippers will still take this series no doubt.

Flawless? And Pippen never had off nights in the Playoffs, right? Not like he averaged 17.5 ppg on 40.8%FG/50.0%TS for the 2nd 3-Peat, nope.

Where is George in all this? I also heard how great a defender he is but every year I turn on the playoffs and see stars feast against his defenses. If George isn't impacting the game on defense, not impacting the game playmaking, and is a yo-yo scoring wise, what was the point of trading SGA/Gallo/a zillion first round picks for him?

Kawhi is the best defender but if he is carrying the scoring load and their lead creator there is only so much one guy can do.

Sure, but Lou and Jackson were both getting buckets that Beverley doesn't get.

No it doesn't. :oldlol: Playoff P has at least ONE of these games per series. I'm serious. He has had a 4-17esque game in every single playoff series except against the Raptors in 2016.

He does. He is a career 42% shooter in the playoffs. That doesn't mean he alternates between 41 and 43 to get to 42. That means he has terrible games mixed in with 65% shooting games. Compare him to his positional contemporaries.

PG: 42% (43% 13'-20')
LeBron: 49% (49% 09'-16')
Durant: 48%
Kawhi: 51% (50% 16'-20')

Damn. Here is how that compares to his SF superstar peers (using 35.0% as the cutoff).

LeBron: 11%
Durant: 11%
Kawhi: 13%
George: 31%

One of these is not like the others.

I'm hoping George can just be a more consistent scorer. His defense has been decent enough. Clippers just get exposed when Kawhi is off the floor and Beverly isn't playing, that's how it has been all season. Yesterday Beverly was out and they collapsed when Kawhi went to the bench.

As far as the trade, Gallo doesn't play defense and SGA is too young for playoff big games. 1St round picks will all be like 29th pick


Sure, but Lou and Jackson were both getting buckets that Beverley doesn't get.

Defense is more needed when you're in a series with the highest offensive rating of all time. Anybody can score on Mavs (except Paul George apparently).

Yup--but all this is a big part of the point of having a second superstar in the first place: someone to keep the team afloat when the other guy is off the floor, to pick up the slack when the other guy is having a bad game, etc.

What percentage of possessions has PG guarded Luka?

I'm not really sure on guarding Luka question because there's so much switches these days. Honestly, Gallo is looking like a way better and more dependable scorer then Paul George. Gallo actually knows how to score in an iso play. George always needs to be assisted or score in transition. Gallo doesn't have the defense of course but Kawhi/Beverly could of disguised that. I'm starting to think they should of just kept Gallo instead of George.

[Roundball_Rock]

Gallo already has almost as many points as PG had in the entire game last night. :lol

George is a jump shooter and you're comparing him to 3 of the top 20 players all-time. He averages 20 ppg on 43.3%FG/56.5%TS for his career in the RS & 20.1 ppg on 42.1%FG/55.9%TS for his Playoffs career, seems pretty consistent to me.

Most players have at least one bad shooting night per series, Pippen sure did. Just look at the '93 run

Round 1: 4/16 FG 10 points
ECSF: 4/10 FG 9 points
ECF: 4/14 FG 14 points
Finals: 12/35 FG 26 points in 3OT loss

Why is this so highlighted with George all of a sudden? He was in foul trouble so he didn't get in a rhythm/only played 10 minutes in the first half. Didn't hear anything about "Playoff P" when he had 27 in Game 1..

[Roundball_Rock]

You are as obsessed with Pippen as 3ball. :lol

PG is being compared to his superstar SF peers. You don't compare him to Khris Middleton. PG has a career long trend and you moronically are comparing him to a 6-time champion using 27 years ago under different rules, less spacing, tougher defenses, etc. I guess you can't find a contemporary of his that he would look good against. :oldlol:

Exactly. That’s not awful efficiency by any stretch. These guys are cherry picking certain splits with FG% and jumping to conclusions that are just not factual.

[ImKobe]

Do we think Melo was a terrible scorer as well? His FG% and TS% declined a lot more than George's. 04-13, he averaged 25.7 ppg on 45.6%FG/54.5%TS in the RS & 25.7 ppg on 41.7%FG/51.3%TS in the Playoffs (66 PO games), George from 13-19 averaged 22.5 ppg on 43.2%FG/56.5%TS in the RS & 23.1 ppg on 43.0%FG/57.1%TS in the Playoffs (60 PO games).

[Roundball_Rock]

Playoff P: 21/6/3 on 49% TS
Gallo: 23/4/2 on 65% TS

Defense is supposed to be the biggest difference between the two but PG is making no impact defensively so far in the series.

SGA struggled in Game 1 but had 29/6/2 in this game, the other player LA gave up for Playoff P.

[ImKobe]

And OKC's down 0 - 2 in the first round despite the Rockets missing WB and with Harden scoring 21 on 5/16 shooting in Game 2.. I hope you keep that same energy for the rest of the Playoffs.

[Roundball_Rock]

Yeah, OKC will lose in the first round--just like they did with PG there and before PG (just like Indiana went from losing in the first round to losing in the first round after he left). No one is saying Gallo is an upgrade. PG is supposed to be an upgrade over Gallo/SGA. That's the point of the Clips giving up a ton to get him.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Middelton with 2 more points at half then George last night and still up 20 points. Must be nice to play in the east.

Other people stepped up to fill the Middleton void and the Bucks are limiting the Magic to 73 after three quarters. Williams is the only non-Kawhi Clipper who showed up scoring wise and it doesn't matter when you cede a 121.4 oRTG to the other team on 57.4% eFG.

Clippers are playing the highest offensive rating of all time and bucks are playing the Orlando magic. My point exactly.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

The good news for clippers

- Luka on the court is anchoring a Knicks level offense

- role players are due to fade away as series go on (meaning they can't carry Luka anymore).

- Beverly will return

- Harrell will get in better shape and rythym as series goes on

- George is unlikely to have 0 points at half again (at least I hope so).

[Roundball_Rock]

Clippers probably win the series but got lucky with the KP ejection. They weren't going to come back from down 2-0.

Don't underestimate Playoff P's impact.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

This would be 2-0 if Beverly was healthy though, their 2nd best net rating player. When you have Lou/Jackson/Shamet out on the wing you're just begging to get torched. They desperately need Beverly back. I think we're going to see clippers vs Celtics finals they are very similar built teams

Kawhi = Tatum
George = Brown
Beverly = Smart
Harrell = Enes

As long as clippers/Celtics stay healthy, I'm pretty sure this will be the finals.

Every post you make is about another man's *****.....think about that when you go to sleep tonight.....do better cashew

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Paul George just posted on his instagram "I don't give a **** what anybody think about me. **** is you thinking about me for anyway"

Not sure what to make of that. He's in not give a **** mode I guess? He better get his head out of his ass dammit or Kawhi will get him replaced.

Is it directed at someone on the team, media, or fans? Either way, not exactly a great state of mind going into a pivotal Game 3. :oldlol:

I'm pretty sure its at fans online. Having a damn meltdown. Kawhi is going to have to carry this insecure bastard. Well at least when they get Beverly back, the defense will be dominant enough to disguise George's scoring inconsistent habits.

[Roundball_Rock]

Poor man's KD with online meltdowns? :lol Is Beverely definitely back for tomorrow?

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Poor man's KD with online meltdowns? :lol Is Beverely definitely back for tomorrow?

He's a "game time decision" so probably 70% he plays and 30% he sits out. Play him 20 minutes like game 1 at least and their better off.

[Roundball_Rock]

Thanks. That will be a big thing to watch in the pre-game reporting.
