Let's go PG13, put these guys away

[jjgold]

Does he play great tonight and save his season!

[209 Life]

21 points for PG13 at the moment

[209 Life]

Gobert getting exposed. Defensive player of the year? I call bullshit

[209 Life]

That was just an example. Stop taking everything so literally. I would get 2 stud free agents for 100 million each before I paid Gobert 200 million dollars. Him being named as DPOY was a joke as well. This guy couldn't defend a perimeter player if his life depended on it. Reggie Jackson shredded him today. And 6'5 Terrence Mann dunked right on his face on the most important play of the game for the and1.

Imagine, that this guy has won as many DPOYs as the great Ben Wallace, who could lock down 3 different positions on the court when needed and was the far superior rebounder, blocker and player.

How many blocks did Rudy Gobert have today? I would wager a fat 0. 7'3, next tallest player on the court is 6'8. Can't block any shots? He a bum.

Clips been putting him on a poster all game

[JIBBBY]

Insane Clipper comeback and win

[209 Life]

Paul George game 6 stats

28 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists.

[209 Life]

PG13 Dog-Wired!!!

[thomorino]

He was a top 5 player this year. He led the league in 4th quarter scoring.

[ThaTopMoron]

George will have quality games the rest of the playoffs

[Goat Milk]

George playing very well. He is capable of it.

Clippers can't win a ring without Kawhi though. I hope he's ok and comes back and I would love to see Clips Nets finals.

For all those criticising Gobert, consider this. His French team met team USA in the QF of the World Cup two years ago. Gobert was the captain of the French team. Mitchell was the captain of team USA. Gobert's team won. USA thus failed to medal.

Not saying he's the better player at all, but Gobert has his merits -he's the best in the league at what he does and it's not close.

Pandemic P is a funny nickname and this is all in good fun but if you really think Paul George is not a good player, you don’t know what you are watching. He’s 6’9 who can handle the ball and shoot. Those don’t grow on trees.

PG13 gonna need to elevate his game even more in this next series against the suns. Suns are no joke. Booker is a rising star. Don't know if CP3 is still in Covid protocol.

He blows. None of the big stars even played on that USA team. Mitchell was a young kid.

Both pitiful excuses. Mitchell hardly any better now than he was 2 years ago when he gave Harden and the Rockets a good series. And to say Mitchell had a weak supporting cast... well so did Gobert. Ntilikina was the starting pg for Les Bleus.

Didn't say he had a weak supporting cast, just that that USA team wasn't the real USA. When you don't have the best players from your country playing, it doesn't even count to me. USA only cares about the olympics, those world championships/world cups are meaningless.

Mitchell is much better today than 2 years, what are you talking about. The guy has ascended into near MVP conversation. 2 years ago he wasn't even a top 25 player in the world.

Gobert can play in those international games because if I remember right, there's no 3 second violation. Which is fukking weird. He can just stay in the paint the entire game. No strategy in that. And the court is also smaller and more narrow. It's more like a college court with shorter 3 point lines.

Gobert is not effective in the grown man game when he's forced to actually use his brain and can't just sit under the rim.

Why bring it up then? I'm talking about a Mitchell-Gobert comparison and you're talking about your beloved team USA. If anything Mitchell had the better supporting cast was my point, and Gobert won. THat's all.

Mitchell peaked early. He's only a tiny bit better now. What he is now is pretty much what he'll always be.

And that last comment, what a fuggin joke! Grown man game? They call a foul on anything. NBA truely is a non-contact sport with way too many rules (including 3 in the key, which is designed to make it easy to score like every other bloody rule that cash hungry Stern/ Silver could think up). FIBA is much more like old NBA ...they have changed their rules v.little over the years. It's a much better game. Been watching the Women's AmeriCup of late. WAY WAY more physical than the NBA, I'm not joking.

Playoffs have been physical. The players are much faster and stronger than international games, of course you're going to get some fouls when someone is running literally 22 mph to the rim.

FIBA not changing rules is not a good thing, you need to adapt. You can't have a player just sitting in the key for eternity. It takes all the skill and mind games out of basketball. Basketball is a thinking game like any other sport. That's why Gobert got exposed. Because he has no brain. He can't think and make adjustments during the course of a game. The 3 point line is like a midrange jumpshot in the NBA. That also needs to be pushed back with the way players shoot today.

Mithcell didn't peak yet. He's a future MVP candidate. Will be a top 5 player in the league one day. 2 years ago, he wasn't close to that. He hasn't entered his prime yet. You don't enter your NBA prime until you're about 28 29 years old.

Where's this physicality you're talking about? Boxing out? LOL It's all down hill drive & kick, EVERY possession. Can't put a hand on anyone. Any contact while they're in the air and it's FTs. No defense allowed, just a shooting contest.

[IBetYou]

You don't watch anything but NBA anyway - you've said so yourself - so you have no clue. All you see is NBA and it's become normal to you. Trust me NBA is not physical.

JVG compared FIBA play to 90's style playoff basketball. Euroleague play is the same.

In his post-game remarks after the 84-83 win over Argentina, Van Gundy said: “I was an absolute novice when I came to FIBA basketball, learning day by day about how good the teams are, how hard they play, just how rough FIBA (competition) is.
“That’s nineties playoff basketball in the NBA, hand-to-hand combat, fist down your throat, elbow in your chest, on every possession.
“You have to get used to it and you have to embrace the differences.”
Van Gundy did embrace it.
“I found it fascinating, the level of coaching and playing around the world has improved and I thought I started to get a better handle the more I did it on what it took to win in FIBA basketball,” he said.

[IBetYou]

I just find it hilarious that the women's game in FIBA is more physical than NBA. They just let 'em play through the contact. Fvcc it.

I will start watching

I watch the olympics and I know that the USA beats teams by 50 when they actually put their best roster out there. Physical or not physical, USA dominates. Get that through your skull. Durant would average 80 ppg overseas.

[IBetYou]

I will start watching

What inspired you to watch the B-league? Were you in Japan? Not seen it myself.

Spain beats teams by 50 when they put their best roster out there. So do Serbia and other top European countries. But you're changing the argument because you were wrong on the other one. Just say IBetYou, I was wrong, I'm sorry.

USA domination. One day you will get over your saltiness for America and tell your kids/grandkids how you witnessed the greatest players of all time in Jordan and Kobe and Lebron and Durant.

Or maybe you'll be telling them the bogdonovic snipers were world class superstars. And they'll say "Who?"

Oh well.

saw live odds for it on betting portal one day and decided to tune in I was shocked much better than china league imo

Olympics is really a v.poor competition. Only 12 teams, some of which way out of their depth. Only 3 group games this year and then a KO phase... so 6 games then a medal. WALOFS. World Cup is a much better tournament. NBAers prefer the Olympics because they get to sleep with the hot athletes in the Olympic village. THat's basically what it's about.

[IBetYou]

All while pretending to give a shit about their country. Canadians don't even bother to pretend -they don;t show up.

Dream team and redeem team? Laughable when USA actually wants to show up and assemble top players. Haven't a bunch of washed up nba players gone to europe and averaged like 30?

Compazzo spanish league player of the decade you said? Lmao. Straight up irrelevant in the nba playoffs. Got destroyed so badly by lillard Malone had to switch Denver's PF onto Lillard. Then Compazzo got so annihilated by Chris Paul, that he got benched.

Best player in spain for the deacde

[IBetYou]

You're asking me this now after being so sure Durant would average 80? WHOAA some humilty. No, washed up players don't come to Europe and average 30. They come to Europe and "suck".

[IBetYou]

Like Derrick Williams. Horrible player. Jason THompson another. Should try their game in Africa FFS.
