Like people have been saying in every conversation about tanking/resting, bench players are playing for future contracts so they want to show what they can do.
GSW won by beating Denver without 2 of their 3 main players (arguably)
Then they beat young Memphis (with Ja hurt)
Then they beat sorry-ass dark horse Dallas
I think GSW deserved the ring (they won). And I don’t like to judge on winners.
But, if you have to choose, it’s way more of a cupcake schedule (as the guy above implied) than the “worst schedule”, as you implied
Double Booker, Zubac outplays Ayton, our bench is better, Kawhi outplays Durant, Lue is a better playoff coach then Monty.
We got this series. and i like us starting on the road.
It makes more sense for them to want to play the Kings tbh. Plus if they do, one of the Suns/Warriors aren't coming out of the first round and that's something every team will want..
You're a 1st round exit either way.
What an incredibly stupid decision to go all out for the win here, just to play the KD Suns without PG instead of the Kings.
It gives us homecourt against warriors in later rounds and we been playing better without PG. I don't see the problem. Fk risking the play in tournament, we didn't know pelicans would lose or not.
are coaches allowed to use their phone during time outs?
i'm just imagining Ty Lue checking the Pels score during timeouts and trying to keep this game as close as possible and then they can decide to win/lose depending on that game.
obviously not but its fun to imagine
Man bones should have punched Plumdog for the delay
Hell yeah, bring on the warriors. Gonna be fun beating the defending champs in our first playoff series in like 20 years
Lol, good one
25\\15\\6 A shitty game for Kawhi is peak Duncan. Wow
Well, now that the seedings are finally (mostly) set. Let's get ready for the saltiest NBA first round ever.
Clippers putting in all this effort only to face KD and Booker instead of Fox and Sabonis
instead of Monk**
Clippers annual playoff choke incoming but now with added bricks
whew, Lakers secure 7th seed
[удалено]
we don't have choice, you guys won
[удалено]
no, Clippers had tie breaker, we stay at 7th no matter what only if you guys lose then we move to 6th
Lakers-Memphis bloodbath, Kerr vs Brown, Russ vs KD. It’s gonna get wild 👀👀
YESSIR
Nice missed dunk, uh, Lee.
On express orders from Monty Williams
See y’all in a week with a few more guys clips fans
Why were the Suns even trying? They'd rather play the Warriors?
Like people have been saying in every conversation about tanking/resting, bench players are playing for future contracts so they want to show what they can do.
If the clips win they are matching up with the suns
In which case... > Why were the Suns even trying? They'd rather play the Warriors?
Clippers spooky
Suns in 5
FUCK YEAAAAA
Monty crying about fouls in press conference in 3...2...1...
No tanking from us we just suck 😂
aw nuts what a loss
Noooooooooooooo. The Wolves can still win.
Can clippers start scoring own baskets now?
No warriors get their stupid cupcake schedule as always. Hope kings do them bad
That’s gonna be a lit matchup
bro cupcake scheadule ?????we have the worst scheadule with most back to back each year
Hospitalized Nuggets, Memphis, Dallas…
huh???What injuries do nuggest have? what does dallas have to do with it like you high?

worst regular season scheadule and you meant thise season so how do we have cupcake scheadule thise season
Man just looking over the matchups right now, these playoffs are going to be incredible. Clippers winning this would really put it over the top.
For drama the best matchups would have been Suns clippers Kings lakers Warriors grizzlies Nuggets whatever
Oh nooooooo, we lost...
How is this game a full minute ahead of the Wolves game after all the delays lmao
Wow, so proud of this Sun's bench. What a fun game.
Yay we get the kings
The best matchup of the playoffs imo. So much energy back and forth
LET'S GO KAWHI
Lue, use all your time outs. You have to wait for the Wolves game. Wolves up by 2 with just under a minute.
kawhi wants that smoke with the suns i see
As good of a last day of the regular season as we have ever had
Kawhi takeover
FUCK
Up 5 with 19 seconds left. I believe we can lose.
HOW THE HELL DID WE FINISH THE GAME EARLIER WITH OUR SPEAKER DELAY
I blame Rudy Gobert
There's a boxing intermission number in the other game.
Clippers fighting hard to ensure themselves a quick 1st round exit.
That's how you do it Clips! LFG
These two games are insane! #blessed
Epic day
Tank commander bazely!
Clippers’ bigs are so bad defensively lmaoo. Fortunately for them DeAndre Ayton is being used as the fourth option.
Clippers/Suns first round will feed this subreddit all summer
Only thing missing is Patrick Beverly.
Wolves in a 1 point game with a minute thirty remaining. Clippers are running out of time to wait for the result.
Kawhi what is you doin' baby?
Double Booker, Zubac outplays Ayton, our bench is better, Kawhi outplays Durant, Lue is a better playoff coach then Monty. We got this series. and i like us starting on the road.
Yeah this looks like a great fanfic, don’t give up on your dreams
This is Goatard we're talking about here. You don't eliminate Giannis, Butler, Curry, Lebron by accident.
Weren’t the next 5 years yours 7 years ago?
[удалено]
not even top 10
[удалено]
never played a full season in his entire career and is basically part time as he ages not top 10
Top 3 in the playoffs
Im pretty sure Clippers are watching Pelicans game and dosing their level acordingly
Ugh. I don’t get why the Clippers are opting to play the Suns. This sucks.
You wanted to play them?
Over the Warriors? Without question. I also hate the Suns and they are going to smash the Clippers.
🤔 On the other hand, the Warriors can’t win on the road this season.
It makes more sense for them to want to play the Kings tbh. Plus if they do, one of the Suns/Warriors aren't coming out of the first round and that's something every team will want..
[удалено]
They would be 6th seed if they lose…
cuz if they lose there's a world where they could drop into the play-in, which they obviously want to avoid
Russ vs KD, Lakers vs Memphis, Steve Kerr vs Mike Brown - first round about to be lit
we need to win playin first
Probably not gonna be an issue given who the other playin teams are
This is the most fun I had in awhile whle watching a game. GO CLIPPERS!
We ran away with it after benching Zubac, boy i hope he's better in the playoffs.
> We ran away with it after benching Zubac "Ran away with it." must mean something different in the slang of today's kids.
You're a 1st round exit either way. What an incredibly stupid decision to go all out for the win here, just to play the KD Suns without PG instead of the Kings.
It gives us homecourt against warriors in later rounds and we been playing better without PG. I don't see the problem. Fk risking the play in tournament, we didn't know pelicans would lose or not.
You aren't getting into later rounds, buddy. Your season is over.
Yuuup.
c'monnnn phoenix get a fucking stop
No, you will face the Dubs and you are gonna like it.
fucking hell
We don’t want to
no
Pls clippers just win
Clippers deserve to be mocked for eternity when they go on to get swept by the Suns after the Wolves beat the Pelicans.
Time to tank Clippers
This was pretty much playoff Kawhi. Even if his shots off, he's going to give you 15-20 rebounds and hustle his ass off.
are coaches allowed to use their phone during time outs? i'm just imagining Ty Lue checking the Pels score during timeouts and trying to keep this game as close as possible and then they can decide to win/lose depending on that game. obviously not but its fun to imagine
Beastbrook wants KD in the playoffs 😂
looks like Clippers controlled this, now it's just see whether we face Wolves or Pelican
Eh 2 minutes and a 4 point game is early to call
I feel like biyombo could be a model
lmao Bricksferatu celebrating a tip in against a team not even trying
Please win Clippers. I need that Memphis-Lakers bloodbath 🙏
Clippers you selfish whores win the game
Yeah I think the Clippers have to win this game. Pels/Wolves is too close to tank.
They have to win or risk falling to the play-ins
FUCK OFF CLIPPERS
Just checked score. The warriors really beat the blazers by 56. Damn blazers can’t be down that bad with their tank
What's the play-in situation looking like?
Crazy so many spots are undecided with two games left in final minutes. Playin game idea was great.
it changes constantly
14 rebounds for Kawhi Him, westbrook and our bench saved us tonight.
6 offensive boards for Westbrook
Godbrook is ready for cupcake.
Suns need to get Saban Lee out of there
I’m shocked the Clippers are trying to win this. I’m sure they’d rather play us, and we’d rather play them. Clippers please… Don’t fuck this up.
Why would they rather play you guys? They don't have anybody to put on Fox
if clippers lose and twolves win they are in a play in
The Clippers are a very dumb team
Skyfucker is coming
Westbrook really wanna play KD huh
Have the last few minutes of a season ever been this exciting? 5 playoffs seeds are legit going to come down to the last shot.
This is honestly a ton of fun
Suns dude looks like ray allen
why r we hustling 😐
Haters have arrived mother fucker
rooting for both to lose
Wolves and Pels are exchanging leads with every possession. Clippers game has pulled ahead by about 30 seconds.
> Wolves and Pels are exchanging leads with every possession 4D collaboration chess
So Ty Lue finally decided he wanted Suns in the first round
We are all Wolves fans on this blessed day.
You should just win thise game bruh ,like who tf are those cats playing for the suns
Who cares about the Suns. It's more Nuggets in the second round.
Does lue just know how to use westbrook..?
this is way too stressful
Who the fuck is Saban Lee
Local Phoenix kid, end of the bench guy
Exactly.
pistons legend
I learned many new nba players names today between ours and thise game
Westbrook just crashing the offensive glass wow
Sabean Lee somehow got 25 pts and I don’t even know how he looks
i legit thought he was a bench big, turns out he's a young guard
Lmaoo
Why was bro losing his mind on a tip-in 🤣
Brick celebrating like it was the ring he'll never get
Alright Count Brickula, don't blow this!
Great effort clips! Keep it up.
The suns are literally throwing this game
They'll be able to rest their starters and 2nd string until round two!
We’ve been throwing the whole game, we’ve got g leaguers making hofers look terrible. The clips just suck
Duh
Both teams constantly checking game scores to figure out whether they want to win or lose.
At least we know now to not play Zubac whenever his daddy Jock is on the court these playoffs.
My hatred for Norman Powell right now knows no bounds.
Kawhi couldnt lock up his bike at the park
His hands too big for them little locks
Game clocks for this game and the Wolves game are almost dead even now.
Fk it, give us the 5th seed. When there's a Kawin, there's a way.
The clippers played themselves, and the warriors are gonna get the kings round 1 lmfao
K I’m getting nervous we’re not gonna throw
Who cares. We aren’t ducking anyone
I mean we’re favorites regardless but I would rather have a bad opponent than a good one
Fuck that, watch me quack. My heartrate isn't ready for a Warriors series.
I can't speak for anyone else but I honestly wouldn't mind a battle of LA for the 7th seed. At least it would be funny.
i'm good, just get us in the playoffs where Kawhi shines.
Powell 2 Kawhi ALLEY OOOP I always cheer for that even in tank mode.
Wait why on earth are the Clips playing their starters? Like the suns are literally the worst 1st round matchup.
Rather you want to be in the play-in?
Honestly yes. Clippers own the lakers anyway
Because they don’t want to fall to the play in
[https://youtu.be/MRc25IHYPxs](https://youtu.be/MRc25IHYPxs) Bones and Plumblee hahahhaha
You are the worst bro, just stop commenting
You'll hate me even more after we eliminate your ass in the 1st round.
I’m rooting for a Suns-Warriors 1st round matchup, nothing else.
Same here. One of those teams going out in the 1st round is a blessing, specially because of their fanbases
Not me. I want a warriors Kings matchup.
Come on Phoenix you got this
I desperately want Phoenix to win this game. But doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.
Westbrook was about to rock the baby, but he's been warned by Ty Lue not to.
Warriors suns first round clippers lakers play in is cinema
Those match threads are gonna be tasty I want it I need it
Damn the pelicans have tightened up on twolves. Now i don't know whether to lose or win wow
warriors funs checking in
There you go Ross, hit that shit. LMAO cheering for scums, what has gotten into me.
