2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (4) LA Clippers vs (5) Dallas Mavericks
- Thread starter InstaFace
- Start date
Yes. In the fn playoffs.
100000% guarantee that Ty Lue will be coaching the lakers in October.
PJ Washington is not scared of anyone. Westbrook hit him and PJ clowned him which made Westbrook even more angry.
Umm Washington was kicked out?! Just starting to tune in, did I miss something from earlier? Otherwise he like gave Westbrook a half-hearted love tap, not sure how that was an eject-able offense.
Edit: I've seen 3x the contact to a player driving the lane not even called a foul in the suddenly contact-tolerable NBA.

I believe it was PJ's second tech of the night. These guys are fighting and its game three. This series is in no way over if Dallas wins and this is the terror dome of the first round. There will likely be more ejections.
And I'm here for it! Just seemed like a soft ejection is all, but if he got a tech earlier then he can't complain too much.
And Westbrook got his yellow card and his red card within about 2 seconds of each other - Sergino Dest vs Mexico style.
Refs not fucking around, which I appreciate.
I laughed at the stat line for Russ: 0-for-7, 1 point, ejection. That is quite the "golden sombrero" of basketball. But the dude has multiple personalities, I fully expect him to put up a triple-double in the next few games...
That doesn't even capture it. He had several layoff passes that would've been dunks go through his hands for turnovers. Several other embarrassing plays on both ends.
Strangest thing to me is that they played Leonard and George very few minutes, Leonard 25, George 30. Makes you wonder if something's going on with that.
That whole boxscore is crazy. Harden put up 44 minutes, was 5-8 from 3, and managed to be a tidy -21 in the game. Paul George is 3-11 in 30 mins with 5 fouls and is a +3. Weird game.
those plus minuses are only crazy if you think single game plus minus means anything
Yeah it’s possible to be a good person off the court and someone who is unable to control their emotions on them.
Any chance he gets suspended for shoving the ref after shoving 3 Maverick players?
I mean they are hilarious to look at. Nobody is trying to make them out to be anything more than they are though
Just as a side, i could care less how Russ is on the court. He puts real money and investments in the black and brown under-served communities here in LA.
I hated lakers fans already but will never ever ever forgive them for how they treated a real one from right here in LA. Yet they'll tattoo, paint murals and name their kids after a rapist. They can go fuck themselves for all time for that.

I love how the ESPN article says "no timetable for return". Could be Tuesday, could be Thanksgiving, could be 2026... could be never!
I suspect that ESPN has exactly as much clarity on this as Steve Ballmer and the Clippers team doctors do.
I get why you have to extend Kawhi, but geez, what a massive risk on a shaky guy reliability wise
It sounds funny, but it does matter. If they can get within 15 before the half, things get interesting again, and LAC will start to feel some pressure.
Clippers relentlessly hunting Luka.
If you think he's bad at defense regularly, you haven't seen him with 2 early fouls.
Kyrie goes on a 9-0 rum and it's still a 22 point game.

They’d never call that illegal screen on Bam. His ability to get away with those is reminiscent of Pettitte’s pickoff move.
There was never going to be a lead big enough today. Up 100 this team wouldve lost 20 at least.
Game 3 was the first time in 20+ years I've genuinely thought "what's the point of this franchise?"
With 20 years of history to learn from and infinite financial resources, they put themselves in the same situation year in and year out. And signed Kawhi to an extension to guarantee there is no end in sight to this trash.
I hate everyone associated with this franchise.
