Let's stop criticizing Leonard here, they will get back in the series, they will dominate again the Dallas Mavericks at home. That last shot was well defended so he hesitates a bit, but it was okay though, the series is not yet over, they still have a chance to bounce back.
I just hope so that's the case but if now I wonder what will be the Clippers roster by the next season since Leonard was in free agency and I wonder if they extend him. It's just a mistake if I say so. I'm still longing for a game 7 too and that's where more excitement comes to play.

I'm sure the Clippers will renew his contract, he is the most consistent player on the team, and please, don't worry, let us not conclude yet, we've seen this in the first two games, we thought Clippers has no chance but they came back and tied the series, they still have 1 life, they can get this win for sure.

Kawhi is a big star and still on his prime so its so obvious that Clippers still needs his service, but the question there is does Kawhi will take the offer of Clippers? Maybe yes since its his hometown but if the other team will give a good offer and build a strong roosters around him then for sure we will see him in other uniform if Clippers didn't act good regarding on convincing Kawhi to sign another contract to them.

He chooses clippers for a reason, so I believe he will stay. However, I think there will be big changes on the lineup as other players might be traded to make this teamwork, maybe PG will be traded after this season if they will lose against the Dallas Mavericks, we should watch out for them that.

But, if the Clippers will win in game 6 and they will give a good fight in game 7, even if they lose, I believe the team will remain in tact, at least the star players. They will build this team like the Jazz did and they will improve to be one of the best teams in the league.
I'm still that positive for both of them to stay but just skeptical a little bit if something goes with this, that they wouldn't make again this playoffs and Dallas again beat them. If they win at game 6 it's a chance for them since it's their home court advantage at game 7.

You guys, what do you think is the key of the Blazers to win here?

The key is to improve their defense, don't get into foul trouble early especially the big guy Nurkic as we've seen him being a weakness when he is in foul trouble, I guess he has fouled out twice in the series already, that games they lost because he did not finish the game.

Jokic is very smart, so as the Denver Nuggets coaching staff, they are targeting the Blazers's weakness, so they should adjust.
Allow some points if possible so Nurkic could stay, besides they can take care of the offense, so it should not be a problem.

After the games of the last night, Utah Jazz, Atlanta Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers finished the job. And all of them advanced to the next round with the same result, 4-1.
I expect an easy win by the 76ers, but not the Hawks, NYK just disappoints me, I have high expectations of them, but it's okay, it's their first playoffs after a long time so it's a good learning experience for them.

The most exciting game of the night was of course LA Clippers - Dallas Mavericks. Mavericks succeeded in winning 105-100 and got ahead 3-2 in the series. Doncic was literally perfect. He had 42 points, 8 rebounds and 14 assists. It was nearly a triple-double. This man is really insane.  Cheesy
Indeed, this game is really exciting, it's not over yet and we can't be sure who will win since both teams are really playing hard to advance in the 2nd half. For Luka, no doubt he is already at the level of the NBA star, he played with Lebron, Kawhi, and other best players in the NBA, and still he is unstoppable.

Honestly we can't put all the blame on Kawhi, dude is a good player but they are expecting GOAT levels from him and he just can't give you that, it is not his fault that he is not like an MJ or Kobe level of player, he doesn't have to be, you have to build around him for whatever he needs, clippers lost in the playoffs last year and fired their coach and look at their roster, does it really look better? I think it is definitely not better right now. At the end of the day, Kawhi did what he can do, but others around him are not players as talented as him.

Luka on the other hand is a marvelous player, he definitely better than Kawhi even at this point and this kid is very young, he is going to grow up to be the best player in the league without a doubt, he will win MVP very soon, it will not even take that long for him to get it neither, and between him and Giannish they will be the best 1v1 battle in "who is the best" for years to come for sure.

I reviewed that play and I don't think that was well defended. He can just turn around upon receiving the ball and threw it up with will but that's not what happened. He hesitated and it seems that he's not ready to take the shot. Man, he's the King Clipper so he should have taken that shot with confidence, miss or make.

Well contested, but not defended, he might have hesitated a bit though, that's why it is way off and an airball.

But you are right, no amount of criticism could turn things around, let's just move on and bet for them next game as for sure they will bounce back strong after that dismal event.

Everyone has the right to criticise here, Leonard move to Clippers coming from a championship year with Toronto, it is expected that he will bring the Clippers at least to the finals and be the leader.And now that they are in the brink of elimination, they should really bounce back from this lost. And Leonard and Paul George should play very well in their home court.

All of them are the favorites to win the game and for sure their respective fans are not dissapointed by the way

the way they finished the job, I just noticed that Seth Curry's impressive night, he lead the Sixers in terms of scoring. Great Job

Nothing to say about that, Luka's magic done it again, with that stats he simply showing he's full potential.

I was expecting for a better play but it ended with him. I thought it was going to be like when he was with Raptors where the ball dropped with so many bounces.
My bet was for the overtime x15 and I could've won more if it went in with the over score.
Clippers had troubles defending Doncic, thats their problem. Even Rondo who is known for snatching the ball can not match him. Leonard and PG13 who are also known for their great defense is not enough.
There will be adjustments for the Clippers team but I bet Rick Carlisle will expect that and will have some alteration with his play.
Maybe next game it will be KP who will run the offense.

I just hope so that's the case but if now I wonder what will be the Clippers roster by the next season since Leonard was in free agency and I wonder if they extend him. It's just a mistake if I say so. I'm still longing for a game 7 too and that's where more excitement comes to play.

I'm sure the Clippers will renew his contract, he is the most consistent player on the team, and please, don't worry, let us not conclude yet, we've seen this in the first two games, we thought Clippers has no chance but they came back and tied the series, they still have 1 life, they can get this win for sure.

Kawhi is a big star and still on his prime so its so obvious that Clippers still needs his service, but the question there is does Kawhi will take the offer of Clippers? Maybe yes since its his hometown but if the other team will give a good offer and build a strong roosters around him then for sure we will see him in other uniform if Clippers didn't act good regarding on convincing Kawhi to sign another contract to them.

He chooses clippers for a reason, so I believe he will stay. However, I think there will be big changes on the lineup as other players might be traded to make this teamwork, maybe PG will be traded after this season if they will lose against the Dallas Mavericks, we should watch out for them that.

But, if the Clippers will win in game 6 and they will give a good fight in game 7, even if they lose, I believe the team will remain in tact, at least the star players. They will build this team like the Jazz did and they will improve to be one of the best teams in the league.
If they win game 6 there is a good chance that they will take game 7, from the Mavs but I don't think the Mavs will give it up easily now that they smell blood, if Leonard and Pgeoarge will not show up in game 6 it will be over, besides the Mavs is the younger and hungrier team, they want to be in the finals,and with that young core they have lots of fuel in their tank, I think Tim Jr will again be the difference he prove it time and time again.

Blazers vs Denver Game 6.

It's a do or die game for the Blazers, they will be playing at home, so they have a great chance to even the series.
Lillard is unbelievable but can we expect some support here from his teammates.

CJ has to up his game, and Nurkic has to be careful not to be in foul trouble.

You guys, what do you think is the key of the Blazers to win here?

Maybe  I did not see it clearly, but it was a difficult shot for him, it was the play that was not well design, Leonard is not Curry that's why we can't expect him to make a difficult shot.

I think we criticize them in their first two games lost against the Dallas team. They bounce back and tie the series, we applauded them.  So that's how it works in all sports.

I don't think it is well defended though, and it is really a bad shot, and he was the main man in Clippers and he is supposedly to take the last shot. But yes, they still have another game, it's win or go home for them. So they either have to bounce back again and tie the series, or it will be offer and of course there will be a lot of finger pointing and criticizing as what went wrong with two superstars. They say it's the coach, Doc Rivers, so they replace him with Ty Lue.

If the trend will continue, this would mean that the Dallas Mavericks will win the series. Home court advantage is none-xistent in this series. I like this series, and Luka seem to be back again and his teammates are contributing big time in this game, they know they need to win.

Kawhi shooting an air ball 3 in the corner? Damn, Playoff Rondo getting mad as hell.

Lol, I remember Max Kellerman's saying that Kawhi is better than Kobe under pressure.

Get the f**k out of here Max, never a fan of his being an NBA sport analyst.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMfFmPbsYPI
I often watch Max Kellerman and Stephen A's debates and I just laughed when I watched the video you shared.
Max is a great fan of Kawhi and now that this sh*t happened, I'm still waiting on what Stephen A will say to Max when they debate again Cheesy.

Kawhi has been pressured by Finney-Smith and been forced to shot a three point. With Rondo being mad on their last play, I'm thinking that this might affect the whole morale of the team. I might be wrong though.

And obviously, someone need to stop Young, just the question of what game plan they have against Trae and then Simmons bringing his A game without Joel. But I think Sixers is going to win ithe series in six games.
Luka Doncic making his own record at Clippers' home.
Winning this game will give them a chance to end it at Dallas for homecourt advantage.

Luka is owning the Clippers in their home court. Kristap hitting that corner 3 and then Kawhi air ball? what can you say more about this series, lots of ups and downs, battle of spurts and in the end hard to say who will going to win because it was really close.

I'll take Sixers to win that series against the Atlanta Hawks, Sixers has deeper bench, even George Hill can guard Trae one on one. Harris will play an important role here if Embiid cannot play in this series. 20-30 points for him in this game.
If you will follow the past 5 games of this match-up, no one ever won on their homecourt which is kinda funny but it happened Cheesy.
Anyway, they still don't have any way to stop the Luka Magic. Dallas is one win away from getting their revenge against the Clippers and I think that they will end it on Game 6.

On Hawks-76ers game, I will take 76ers with this too in 5-6 games. I like how Trae is playing but.. if Golden State has Steph Curry then the 76ers has Seth Curry which can shoot threes too and can give you double digit points if needed like what happened in their last game against the Wizards. I just hope that Embiid will play in this series or they "might" lose this series though.

Kawhi shooting an air ball 3 in the corner? Damn, Playoff Rondo getting mad as hell.



I will get mad as well, the comparison of Kawhi to Lebron and to some extend to Kobe is not fair. Kawhi needs to prove more, and today's airball will be more remembered that the shots he made in 2019 against the Sixers.

Not over yet for the Lakers, I still think that there's some thing inside of Lebron that says they can win the next game and will be Lebron's another defining game 6 moments, and the number speaks for itself.

When I saw Kawhi headed towards the corner I thought we were going to see another fading away bouncing around the rim end of game miracle shot.  The airball was a bit of a surprise...  It seemed like Kawhi was looking for someone to blame and Rondo wasn't having it.  It looked pretty clear that Kawhi needed to give up the ball once the defense was all over him.  Nowadays the star player always has to take the last shot for some reason, so he did what was expected of him.  He was pretty much in a lose/lose position, which is probably why he was looking to put blame on the person who threw him the ball.
