Teams are a combined 9 for 47 from 3.  Guh.

[aggie08 21608]

CP3 has been god awful in his two games back from Covid protocol.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8921]

Might be the lowest scoring quarter for combined points in 20 years

[Stunns38 3713]

Clips are 5 for 31 of that

[ztejas 43777]

Do the Clippers even try when they design their jerseys?

[Message Board User 12397]

90 seconds left in the game and 18 combined points in the 4th quarter.

Since they redesigned their logo I haven't seen a single jersey of theirs that I like.

Mark Jackson telling us about the sub montey Williams makes to keep Booker from fouling out as Booker fouls out

CP3 with a couple chances to ice it...and couldn't.

Fits right in with the rest of the shooting in this 4Q.

[Message Board User 12397]

Teams have combined to miss 110 shots tonight.

[CurlyDumps 4570]

Congrats to Chris Paul on his first finals appearance.

[ztejas 43777]

I dont know why but I love lower scoring games much more than higher scoring ones. It makes every basket feel so much bigger. 

[Machinator 32099]

Can't believe they didn't review that.

It’s a nice change of pace.

absolutely inexcusable. that's criminal. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

LAC should have had the ball down by one with the ability to hold for the final shot. instead they're down three and now they get fouled and sent to the line. that's as direct a screw job as you can get. that's so terrible from the officials. 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8921]

Lmfao boogie

[Message Board User 12397]

Boogie...lololololol

[ztejas 43777]

No idea why don't you just let Cousins make there. Seems dumb.

[ztejas 43777]

This might be CP's Dirk year.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8921]

PG is pretty good at missing fts in clutch situations

[pops 7044]

Fuck balmer

[shadow_operative 15932]

Paul George is better at the much-more-difficult intentionally missed FT than he is at hitting actual regular FTs.

Ah fuck man whatever. They should have let him try and make it. Can't blame DMC there. 

[HeHateMe 900]

Boogie is 30 years old and has probably been playing organized ball for 22 years or so.  Know the fucking rules man.  Sad to see that level of ignorance from a pro.

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

Seems like Boogie was looking down and tries to surprise everyone with a quick shot. Guys airball free throws plenty so would be hard for him not to know the rule.

Bucks vs Suns could be fun.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8921]

Actually looking at it, you can call cp3 on a lane violation for being Inside the arc…but you could do that every free throw too

[Braff Zacklin 13672]

That was one ugly-ass game ... but the Clips lost so I'll take it.

[aggie08 21608]

Most playoff games shooting 25% or less:

Bob Cousy - 13

Tommy Heinsohn - 12

PG13 - 11

Russ - 7

Dennis Johnson - 7

Dolph Schayes - 7

 

Looks like PG is going to have to wait until next year to take the top spot.

 

[Message Board User 12397]

 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8921]

Just 12? It felt like 50. Fate has to be on Phoenix’s side this season

This is seriously one of the most embarrassing stats I've seen from a current player.  I know there are some PG truthers in the thread, but even they have to admit he just sucks when the heat is the most intense.  Still a good player in the regular season, and I respect his fight when Kawhi went out, but I wonder if declining play for the last 2 years along with turning 32 for next year's playoffs, if he's done at possibly being a Robin?  Maybe if you have a real good 3rd option?  Again, he still can play but man, his legacy will be defined by his failures thus far....

At least he’s there. 

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

Yeah, he's in the WCF without Kawhi. Maybe they make the Finals with a healthy squad.

Biggest thing is he's just not a great outside shooter. PG is at his best when he's attacking the rim getting buckets or drawing fouls and playing defense.

[Message Board User 12397]

Yeah, this rumor comes from Skip Bayless, but still lol.

 

[tbone_ 14299]

Has he ever been happy about anything?

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

Seems it's only a matter of time before Kawhi's body breaks down and he's no longer superstar Kawhi. The type of injuries he's had is no bueno.

[Buzzrock 15032]

We shall not speak of Friday night. Go Hawks!

[pops 7044]

Why do I watch any NBA game until the middle of the 4th?

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

Nothing makes me more angry then 3 point shooters jumping into someone and getting three free throws.

[Esque 135]

Trae Young is bad for basketball.

He deserves the shine for his performance given the setting, but his foul seeking behavior is horrible, horrible, horrible.

Also, these announcers suck. They complain when there’s reviews of out of bounds balls in the last two minutes where the ball clearly comes off a PG hands from a defensive poke and argue that’s not the right call in the spirit of the game. But then have no problem with Young jumping into people to generate ridiculous fouls.

I hate this type of basketball. It is not fun to watch.

Yes. Trae Young is the first player to jump into contact and draw ticky tack calls. Because of course he started his career before Manu Ginobili, Dwyane Wade, Kevin Durant, James Harden, Steph Curry...

[shadow_operative 15932]

for the entirety of his career i have been totally nonplussed by Khris Middleton. for a guy who's an all star, a guy who's supposed to be a legit no.2 on a title winning team, i've always seen him as a poor man's Carmelo without the rebounding or energy. but damn if this man hasn't been playing like an assassin in some of the biggest moments of these playoffs. i really had no idea that he had this in him. hats off to him.

What a crybaby.

Also - of course Trae tweaks his ankle. Milwaukee might not have anyone to play by the time the Finals comes around. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

really nice fade away from Giannis. 

[staboner 5017]

middleton is bombing fools

tucker is such a great player

[shadow_operative 15932]

Middleton. My lord. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

PJ playing like a mad man, covering every inch of the floor. What a player.
