From poking through basketball reference, since it expanded to 4 teams in '67, the western conference semifinals has only had one season ('94) in which there wasn't a west coast team, and none where zero teams were in the pacific time zone. If the Mavs finish off the Clippers, this will be the first.

The Southwest division isn't great but it makes way more sense than Minnesota being with Portland, OKC and Utah.

I guess we'll find out soon enough, but I'd be pretty surprised if Giannis plays. They mentioned during Sunday's game that he had just started running without assistance again that day, seems like a quick turnaround to go from that to a playoff game in 4 days. But he is a superhuman so who knows

Giannis must need a new roid guy. What happened to the guy whose leg fell off and then played in the finals. Has he hip drop tackled so many defenders that his body is finally ruined?

Playoff James Harden Is Regular Season D'Angelo Russell The 2023-24 Los Angeles Clippers: James Harden - Ride or Die Kawhi Leonard - Die, or Ride Paul George - Ride and/or Die Russell Westbrook - Ride and Die This season has been like reading a Stephen King book. The experience is always tainted by knowing how bad the end is going to be. I'm ready. I'm ready to let go. Let me go.

Jaden Hardy scored 14 points in 6 minutes. Westbrook and Harden played 49 minutes and combined for 13 points. lol Hope Luka's knee gets better soon.

Looking at Westbrook and Hardens scoring lines from last night is hilarious 2/12 in 33 min 2/11 in 16 min What's better?

Reflecting on the Clippers Mavs games. The series may have flipped when Tim Hardaway Jr. went down. This caused Derrick Jones Jr.'s minutes to roughly double. Since that happened, he has had a good series on offense and defense.

Bellmaker posted:I was not expecting the Celtics to be the first eastern conference team to advance after that Heat game 2 but Fouling up 3 is technically correct but spiritually necrotic. The final play to get up a 3 to tie is one of the purest expressions of basketball and anything that deprives us of that should be disincentivized as strongly as possible, either through rules or through the social contract.

Yeah you have to be careful not to get a shooting foul on the take foul so you have to wait until they can't possibly get their arms up for a shot to do it which can be very difficult with only a few seconds left against a guy in motion.

There was also a ton of time left on the clock. Fouling someone with 12 or 13 seconds doesn't really help you and it opens up a situation where they have the ball only down 2 with like 6 seconds left which is even worse. Maxey put up that shot way behind the line too. In a vacuum I'd rather have someone take that shot to tie than start the foul-back-and-forth game up 3 with that much time left. But whelp.

Spacebump posted:Reflecting on the Clippers Mavs games. DJJ does 1-3 dumb things a game by trying too hard, but then he gets yelled at by Luka and instead of pouting goes back to lockdown D and dunking the poo poo out of the ball so I'm quite happy with him. I'm 50/50 on THJ overall, but him being out seems to also have damped the chucker instincts of everyone else at least a bit. You know he's always going to shoot it and that mindset is a little contagious.

Yeah the foul on before 3 thing in the NBA really is only something you do with under 5 seconds. And even then if the opposing player knows about it you had better hope you got a strict continuation ref calling the game that night. Or doesn’t call the foul on the inbounds. It’s the right play but people act like it’s idiocy to not do it when there is enough risk and things that have actually gone wrong that it’s understandable people don’t, at least in the NBA.
