The funny thing about the Clips is they've basically forsaken their future since Doc hands out 1st rounders like candy.
Wouldn't be surprised if they're garbage tier again in 2-3 years.

Wtf I left the tv for a quarter and come back to this. It's hilarious how the Clippers can't even come close to winning. The Warriors just love embarrassing them.

What's deadly is they can have Klay run the second unit while KD and Steph rest so even if you think your getting a break Klay will go off on you.

They at least had Sager's little kid come out with Shaq to make a bucket to get the money which was cool to see.

I think most here woukd say no but I believe so.
Unless having sages family there, have shaq and his son dunk the ball for 500,000 and have a photo op was all just a coincidence?
Curry was trying to walk off and pointed to the kid really fast.
This is tnt,where they set up some horrible skits after all. The shaq burning pants thing for example was stupid
I'd rather they do crazy real spontaneous things.
Imo of you can make them you can miss them. Maybe they planned an alternate situation if he made one but I believe the plan was to make it dramatic for sages son which is ok.
Nothing wrong with it but they could have let steph shoot for 10k a ball and built up the dunk a bit more. The staff at tnt just suck at thier jobs and aren't always that funny with thier photoshops. Yeah yeah

Why can't curry do this in the finals
He was coming back from an injury and wasn't at his best for one series... He was great in the 2015 finals. LeBron's 2011 finals was much worse imo, and he was fit for that one.
That third quarter went from, "hey this feels like last year's Warriors" to nuclear. 50 point quarter to come back from down 16 and 4 techs because they were telling the Clips they were kicking their ass while they were doing it.
Warriors/Clips third quarter, you the real all star game. I may watch it again while cooking it was so good.
EDIT: 3rd quarter box score.

man, the shit that being talked in the 2nd quarter, but everyone in the know knew "just wait till the 3rd. LOL
I want to know what Iggy was saying to Crawford that got him T'd up
I also hope they reverse that T on Drey for asking the Ref "Why!!?". that was some total BS.
and who did they attribute the "Bench Tech" to?
Someone text me "what is happening to the Warriors right now" in the beginning of the 3rd, when the "ref assist" was fucking up the game. I told her, just wait, Dubs already mad at the Clips, and the refs are just about to set them off... this is about to get ugly for the Clips, just watch, Warriors will beat the Refs and the Clippers at the same time". But I was NOT expecting a 50pt quarter, especially when it seemed like everything the Dubs did resulted in a foul. They put the Clips into the bonus before the refs even called a single foul on the Clips, even thought there were probably about 3 or so that they could have called. That shit was crazy. wish they could play like that more often, and especially when it counts..

You care way too much about something so meaningless.

What's that supposed to mean? Shaq's cost Javale money in the past few years by making him look like the joke of the league. Shaq's looking like an idiot right now.
Are the clips he's playing cgi?
Maybe, but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect coverage that isn't worthless. Sports media being mostly terrible is getting kinda old.
(more television media, some great writers out there)
Edit: Shaq caps off the night by tweeting "America meet Javale BUM McGee" with Javale's face photoshopped onto a picture of a homeless person. Just some truly classic material from Shaq.

I'm kind of in the camp that they have rode on McGee a bit too much to the point where it does get kind of malicious.
Honestly you can find a lot of dumbass mistakes NBA players make all the time. Griffin had quite a few Tragic Bronson mistakes himself tonight.
Shaq is just a petty ass bitch who always has to have the last word.

Shaq has always been the dude who gives it but can't take it.

Alright cool. Every week in the NBA there's 100's of "Shaqtin" moments but sure lets just play clips of a dude who Shaq obviously doesn't like. Sure Javale's had some funny moments (like him inbounding the ball for the other team a few weeks back) but most of the time it's just clips that happen during a game regularly that just so happens to have been by Javale.
Surprised TNT haven't stepped in to be honest.

Shaq should shut up. Javale has been as good as anyone could have possibly expected and has played within himself. Shaq talking crap goes way beyond criticism of a player.

I enjoy it, well I don't always agree with them or hardly do but at least it isn't too boring for me to see them implode on everything.
When chuck says the media should leave durant and russ alone though, how can I disagree. They just keep on and on and give Russ no respect time after time, that's way more annoying than the tnt crew
I do agree shaq can't take anything against himself that is real critiques and I can see why he had issues with kobe or other teammates.
Isn't that the point? TNT crew is about basketball like Parks and Rec is about local government.

If they traded him for 2 seconds then I don't think they think too highly of him. And even if the C's offered a better deal that would still likely be cheap as fuck considering the deal Philly got sucks ass.

He's basically near guaranteed to go there. Also seems like Bogut is going to go there too.
Basically, the Cavs managed to get Kyle Korver, Deron Williams, Derrick Williams (who has been playing well, with Lebron, cause Lebron does that with his teammates), and Andrew Bogut, for the price of a 1st and Mike Dunleavy Jr.
David Griffin has done an amazing job...
Also, Korver has been shooting 52.3% on 5.6 3s a game since joining the Cavs. This takes into account his rough starting period, when he was just getting used to the team.

Really curious what the new Lakers regime will do if they are able to keep their draft pick. A top 3 pick in a loaded draft all of a sudden makes them players in the Paul Georgr/Jimmy Butler talks, but for some reason I get the feeling Lonzo Ball has the kind of game Magic creams over.

Do the Lakers even really want to get involved in Paul George talks? Seems like they should try and go all in on someone else and hope George comes over as a free agent.

That's what I would do, but Magic probably wants to make a splash. Hopefully Pelinka knows better. Build a core first then try and add a franchise piece.
so are they're replacing felder with deron and derrick with bogut? damn
unless bogut goes back to the dubs

Well, not this year of course.
But if the Lakers can improve to 30 something wins, their current players (Ingram, Russel, Larry Nance Jr., Randle, Zubac, Black, Clarkson) continue to become solid rotation players (Russell has fringe-star potential, and Ingram is like Giannis, he'll have to be developed right), they get a star type player this year in the draft, and the Pacers aren't contenders, then yeah, I see Paul George signing there and possibly becoming a nasty team.
Eh, not sure this hurts the Sixers. They had lost steam, and tanking now to get a better draft pick and try and damage the Laker's chance at a top 3 draft pick can only help them.
Plus, there was that rumor that Simmons' agent wanted him to not play this year to try and get some bonus tied to winning ROTY. Next year's ROTY race is going to be crazy
