    NBA Playoffs Chokers Thread

    We can use this thread to track the known NBA playoff chokers.

    Giannis and Paul George are playing like trash as expected.

    Harden might actually escape now that he doesn’t have to be the guy.

    Am I missing anyone else?

    Could have won more rings in Toronto. Definitely one more. Why would anyone want to play for the clippers?

    BINGO. He was dumb for leaving Toronto for that hell hole. Don’t care if that’s where he is from. Toronto was primed to win the EAST a couple more years.

    Oh Johnny.... James Harden notorious choker, CP3 never wins shit, Giannis buster, Paul George might as well be Boy George... who are we missing?

    To play with George... to carry his ass when it matters, to watch him feast on trash and then chest thump in the regular season, etc.. George is a buster. Has tier 2 players chirping his ass.

    Great city....but still not LA. Guess the real question is which one has the better strip clubs.

    Plus Kawhi is champion already... He can coast and enjoy life the rest of his career.

    Would love to see the Celtics de-rail the Nets:
    1) Harden is brutal in playoffs w/ the ball-hogging killing the offense.
    2) I don't like Durant in the playoffs. Comparison that comes to mind is that he's not a Bird type. Remember the series vs GoldSt? OKC wins, if Durant didn't feel the need to get his requisite shots. I don't think he handles pressure such that he can become a creator.

    Laker, you're right. That really was stupid of Kawhi. If you're a professional athlete, it really doesn't matter where u live.

    Should be trying to accumulate rings. That's your legacy.

    God-dammit, I hate this Nets team. Man, I'll cheer for ANY Eastern team to take them out.

    watched highlights and see that the freak did this

    missed a FT to put his team up 3 late after not passing the ball to a better FT shooter while Butler wasn't fouling him

    let Butler back up way behind the 3 pt line with only 3.5 sec left then proceed to let him get by him for his long jump lunge layup finish to get to OT

    heat were up 104-102 and Freak settled for a pretty easy jumper and missed but Lopez bailed him out with an acrobatic tip in off the miss

    at least he knew to not cry about Middleton having the ball at the end to win the game

    Heat def still in the bucks series

    Na that team was 1 and done. Everything fell into their lap. Buzzer beater against Philly in game 7. Best player in the world tears his achilles. Second best 3 pt shooter of all time tears his ACL. Literally were handed the trophy. Never seen anything like it.

    G has to answer the playoff bell, for sure. That's why they play the games. Chance to leave his mark.

    Miami is good. Does Spoelstra own G? To be determined.

    Spoelstra doesn't play... Spoelstra would have 0 rings without Lebron and Wade. Shaq and Kobe barely even used to listen to Phil Jackson. Pop hasn't won anything since Duncan retired, and never won anything before Duncan either. Jerry Sloan never won a ring. I don't care how good you coach. Nets have Steve Nash running that team, sure he's a great mind, but you could plug anyone in there, and the Nets would still dominate if healthy.

    Ty Lou didn't do much to win a ring. He had Lebron Kyrie and Kevin Love all in their primes.

    Look for a Phoenix suns second half collapse I predict possibly epic status like blowing a monster lead. Looking into my crystal ball this will be the talk of the sports world after today.
