2024 NBA Playoffs: First Round

Where was the foul on harden?

Barely brushed his arm from behind

He’s singlehandedly winning this game for the Clippers

How sick Dallas must be for letting Brunson go.

These pricks in Mavs jerseys ruined Kyrie's game.

This is how legit playoff teams play - Harden and George vs Kyrie and Doncic. We have um, Mitchell (sometimes) and . . . who?

Looks like Clippers going to hang on after blowing the 31 point lead.

They blew the 31 point lead, rebuilt an 11 point lead in the 4th, lost that too, then won pretty easily. Mavs have no answer for Harden

I remember back in the day 15 point leads pretty much meant game. Today even a 30 point lead isn't safe.

Make JBB the coach and you would be watching those four look like Mitchell does right now.

 

[HenryMuto]

Crazy that the Suns have Durant, Booker and Beal and might possibly get swept in the 1st round to a team they beat 3-0 in the regular season.

Kyrie is so much better than Mitchell this time of year….

But if you need 43 points on a Wednesday night in December against Atlanta—- Spida is your guy…

We saw what happened when Kyrie was the #1 in Boston like Mitchell was in Utah and it wasn't good. Don would look phenomenal if he played with Doncic or KD or LeBron.

Doubt it.

Doubt it.

Don't worry, with the way this season is going you will probably see something like it next season.

Kyrie is averaging 28.75 ppg in the series. Mitchell is averaging 21 ppg. Not a terrible difference. But Garland, our supposed #2 scorer is averaging 12 ppg. That just won't get it done. Somebody needs light a fire under his max-contract derriere.

Kyrie is very skilled and is damn near automatic one on one and can finish around the basket. Mitchell has horrible ball iq. If you switched him for Murray, Jokic would be bald by the so star break from all the bone head plays Mitchell makes.

The difference is significantly more stark when adjusting for efficiency.

Kyrie scores 1.47 per shot
Don 1.15
