Joe_is_the_best Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 1 hour ago, NYRaider said: Yeah those PG FT misses are looking pretty terrible right now. But agreed, the Clippers are locking Booker down and CP3 is a known choker in big moments. The media anointed Booker the young Kobe and Ayton said their draft class was the best ever, going down hill now, lol. I'm willing to give Booker a pass for his first time with the face shield, but he really can't let Beverley lock him down. Booker is a great player, but 'superstar' is an overused term. I swear the 'experts' are getting dumber by the minute. Not just sport ones. It's ridiculous. They trot on these 'experts' who are not brought in for their expertise, but for certain takes or opinions that conform to the agenda. God forbid an expert offer their take without bias or exaggeration. God forbid an expert go against the current. Those experts aren't invited on TV. Nobody has the fortitude to tell it like it is. /rant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mox Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 20 minutes ago, NYRaider said: We would've beat the Clippers if Conley didn't miss the entire series and Don wasn't playing on one leg, lol. When Luka gets out of round 1, let us know. Luka puts up great individual stats but Mitchell scored just as well as he did while he was injured. This highlights the fundamental flaw of your basketball evaluation. Scoring similarly does not mean they had or have similar offensive impact. In fact, it's not even close. The difference in playmaking and in attention drawn is legitimately worlds apart. Luka and Zach LaVine scored similar PPG in the regular season on similar efficiency, and yet they aren't at all comparable offensively.

Luka's certainly a much better playmaker than Donovan, not denying that. But Mitchell was able to light them up on a bum ankle without his All-Star PG. Luka's better than Donovan but I firmly believe we win the series if Conley was healthy and Mitchell wasn't hobbled.

Though LAC was also missing their best player for 2 games that series too. If Conley is still hurt, Dallas probably beats them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDez Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Two Arm Pushoff P has had 2 fouls called on him this series. I expect the calls to flip for game 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Conley is still hurt, Dallas probably beats them. Unlikely. The reason we lost to the Clippers because of their small being able to spread us out. They also had like 5-6 guys who were 6'7+ 220 that could shoot and switch everything defensively. The Mavericks wouldn't have been able to do that.

If Conley is still hurt, Dallas probably beats them. And we can speak in hypotheticals all we want, the reality is that the Mavericks still haven't gotten out of round 1 in 3 years with Luka. Donovan took us to the 2nd round as a rookie and beat MVP Russell Westbrook/Paul George and our other 4 starters were Ricky Rubio, Joe Ingles, Derrick Favors, and Rudy Gobert.

DirtyDez Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Reggie looking like a poor man’s Kyrie. I think the Clipps re-sign because overpaying means nothing to them. The same doesn’t go for Payne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
